Hey, this is a known issue with worktree mode. After the first Apply, the button disappears and the agent switches to local mode.

Similar reports:

- [Worktree apply does not work (and other bugs)](https://forum.cursor.com/t/worktree-apply-does-not-work-and-other-bugs/148679)
- [Multi agent mode loose worktree and Apply / Undo Apply](https://forum.cursor.com/t/multi-agent-mode-loose-worktree-and-apply-undo-apply/149072)

The team is aware and is working on it. I added your report to help boost visibility.
