Branch from any message to try a different direction. The original thread stays as it was.

## Branch from any message

Pick a message and branch. Koshra starts a new thread from that point, with everything before it, and leaves the original untouched.

## Try another model

Combine a branch with the model picker to see how a different model handles the same point in the conversation. Every reply shows its model, cost and time, so the comparison is plain.

## Keep what works

Carry on in whichever thread worked better. Nothing is merged or overwritten for you.
