What Problem This Solves

When a project is loading, clicking it and then selecting a ready worktree in another project could end with the loading project selected anyway. The first click awaited project readiness, and when that work finished it activated its older target, overriding the newer selection.

This is a reproduced defect from the #13963 investigation. It is not the full original report.

Why This Change Was Made

activateSelection awaits deps.ready(ctx) before it commits the active project. A second, later click can complete during that await. The handler then committed the earlier target with no check for a newer request.

The fix records the newest selection token per deps object and drops a completion when a newer selection has started. It is five lines and does not change validation, routing, or persistence.

User Impact

The last sidebar selection wins. A slow project can no longer pull the UI back to an older click after the user has already moved on.

Evidence

• Delayed readiness in isolated VS Code: before the fix the older project activated about 3 seconds after the newer click; after the fix the selected worktree and transcript stayed on the newer target.
• Rapid switching across two projects still selects the final target.
• bun test on the focused suites: 124 passed.
• From packages/kilo-vscode/: bun run compile (typecheck, webview typecheck, lint, bundle) passed.

Scope

Races that need wider changes are not included: stale per-project session listings after movement or deletion, and session creation completing after a project switch. Both need ownership and route changes beyond a few lines.
