Treat Esc/Ctrl+C in the free-text Branch name step as cancel so the worktree flow leaves Sessionizer without creating a worktree, matching picker cancel elsewhere. Closes #36
Raw-mode readline Esc does not reliably cancel or exit Herdr plugin panes. Collect the branch name with fzf free-text so Esc uses the same abort path as Sessionizer pickers and the pane closes cleanly.

Summary
Branch name cannot be empty); cancel is not conflated with empty submitnull→ clean return without creating a worktree)Context
In the worktree flow, Esc on the candidate picker means “create a new branch.” After that, the free-text
Branch name:step used Node readline, which does not treat Esc as cancel. Sessionizer itself only uses fzf pickers (Esc → empty selection → leave); this adds the same cancel semantics to the one free-text step worktree has that Sessionizer does not.Test plan
