Fixed by #230 (e7772a5) — lands in the next release.

Cause: fleet read its session list from SQLite exactly once, at startup. There was no re-read after that, so a row written by another fleet process — fleet add, and now fleet worktree — had no way of reaching a TUI that was already running. Restarting worked because that's when the one read happened.

Fix: the background worker now re-reads the sessions table on its heavy pass (self-throttled to ~5s) and adopts any rows it doesn't know about. A session created from a shell shows up within a few seconds, in the right origin group, without a restart.

Two things worth knowing about the behaviour:

• Your cursor doesn't move. The new row is often inserted above wherever you're parked, so the selection is restored by row identity rather than index — including when you're sitting on a "Creating…" placeholder during a worktree create.
• It only adds. fleet remove from a second terminal still leaves a stale row until you restart. That's unchanged, and deliberate for now — dropping rows out from under a live cursor, an open undo window, or a drawer is a good deal more delicate than adding them. Worth its own issue if it bites you.

Thanks for the report, @eylonronen — the repro steps and debug log made this unambiguous.
