Removing a worktree switches to last active workspace instead of current worktree's workspace

The plugin when removing the worktree, closes all open panes in that worktree and then switches to the last active workspace.

Instead it should switch to the workspace of the just deleted worktree.

Investigation: focus lands on the wrong workspace after removing a worktree

Behavior

When you remove a worktree in native-workspace mode, the plugin closes that worktree's herdr workspace via herdr workspace close. herdr then picks the next workspace to focus itself, and that pick is the closed workspace's sidebar neighbor — not the repo's root/parent workspace. Most visible when removing the worktree you're currently in: you land somewhere arbitrary instead of back at the repo root.

Root cause

Testing herdr's behavior directly showed that the same behaviour can be reproduced with herdr's native workspace removal via the context menu actions.

1. herdr workspace close re-selects focus after closing, targeting the closed workspace's sidebar neighbor — not its parent/root, and not the previously-focused workspace.
2. There is no CLI flag to specify "focus workspace X after closing" — herdr workspace close <id> takes no focus argument.
3. herdr worktree remove --workspace <id> (the symmetric partner to the herdr worktree open the picker uses) closes the workspace and runs git worktree remove, but also lands on the neighbor.
4. Calling herdr workspace focus <root> before the close has no effect — the close overrides it with its own neighbor pick.

Created ogulcancelik/herdr#1004 upstream to hopefully get a fix.

@devashish2203 ogulcancelik/herdr#1004 is now merged!

[devashish2203]

Thanks. I'm not 100% sure but it's likely that no fix is needed in the plugin separately. I'll update to latest herdr and test today.

So the fix that was done above was only in the worktree remove logic, also need a fix in the worktree close logic.
Have filed ogulcancelik/herdr#1303 to track the worktree close fix required.
