ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change adds a new cross-surface context-menu workflow that can mutate persisted thread pull-request linkage, including compatibility handling for multiple server modes. The implementation is localized and tested, but the new user-facing capability and state-changing action merit human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

The disabled quick action told the reader the pull request was on the header's own button whenever the ref had an open one. The header's pill shows the thread's pull request, and a ref can carry one the thread never linked, so the hint sometimes pointed at nothing. Report it as a fact about the ref instead: "This ref already has an open pull request." The create hint still names the button, because the pill's create gate and that branch of resolveQuickAction agree, and both controls render under the same activeProjectName and gitCwd.

Unlinking a pull request from a thread was reachable from the thread's pull-requests panel, or from a right-click on the original URL in the transcript. Neither is where a reader is looking when they notice the wrong number: that is the badge on the sidebar row and the pill in the branch toolbar, and a right-click there opened the platform's own edit menu. Those numbers now carry the same menu the transcript link does, with **Unlink from thread** last and behind a divider. It is offered only for a pull request the thread is actually linked to; the number a thread picked up from its branch keeps copy and open, because nothing linked it to undo. Whether the thread is linked is read when the menu opens and again when the item is chosen. A menu sits open for as long as it takes to read, and the agent can link or unlink from underneath it in that time, so clearing whatever happens to be there by then would unlink something nobody chose. The work goes through `usePullRequestLinking`, so servers on `thread.pull-request.unlink` and older ones on the legacy `linkedPullRequest` metadata both route correctly, and a server that supports neither offers nothing.

The git actions button answered two questions at once. It read "Commit & push" while work was in flight and "View PR" once it landed, so the control under the cursor changed meaning as the branch did, and the number of the pull request a thread carried was nowhere in the header. Split them. The git actions button now only moves the ref along: commit, push, pull, publish. Beside it sits a pull request button that shows the thread's number, opens the Linked pull requests panel, and right-clicks to unlink. With no pull request yet it reads "Create PR" and runs the same create flow, which stays in GitActionsControl with its progress stages, default-ref confirmation and result toast, reached through a window event so neither corner of the header has to own the other's state. Where the quick action has nothing left to do but a pull request could still be opened or read, its hint points at the new button rather than claiming no action is needed.

The branch toolbar carried a ghost-styled copy of the sidebar's linked-PR badge. It showed a number and nothing else, and the header now shows the same number with somewhere to go: the Linked pull requests panel, where the thread's pull requests are actually managed, plus Create PR when there is none. Two reads of the same fact, a few hundred pixels apart, and the composer one was the thinner of them. Removing it leaves resolveBranchToolbarPrBranch with no caller and the badge control with one variant, so both collapse. The sidebar badge and the stack doorway it opens are unchanged.

A thread that holds several links wears one aggregate badge that reads "+3" rather than a number, and right-clicking it offered a bare "Unlink from thread" over whichever link is current. The menu now reads "Unlink pingdotgg#123 from thread", derived from the url it was opened on, so the destructive item names its target everywhere the number is written. The same hook also stopped subscribing to the projects and server-config atoms. It is mounted once per row of the thread list, and nothing it reads there is needed until a right-click lands, so the linking state is now resolved from the registry inside the handler. A project or config change no longer wakes every row, and the projects array is no longer filtered once per row on mount. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Unlinking a pull request from a thread is reachable from the thread's pull-requests panel, or from a right-click on the original URL in the transcript. Neither is where a reader is looking when they notice the wrong number. That is the badge on the sidebar row, and a right-click on it opened the platform's own edit menu over a control with nothing to cut or paste.
Those numbers now carry the same menu the transcript link does: Copy link, Open on GitHub (or whichever host it came from), and Unlink from thread last, behind a divider.
The later commits take the same idea to the chat header, where the number was not shown at all.
How: right-click to unlink
ThreadPullRequestBadgeControltakes an optionalonContextMenuPullRequest, which covers every row that wears a number in one place. The stack shape does not get one, because a stack has no single number to act on.useThreadPullRequestLinkContextMenubuilds the handler overusePullRequestLinking, so servers onthread.pull-request.unlinkand older ones on legacylinkedPullRequestmetadata both route correctly. A server that supports neither offers no unlink item at all.dev:mobileworkflow #123 from thread, read off the URL the menu was opened on.

ThreadPullRequestHeaderPillsits beside the git actions. Linked, it shows#123with the same status colour the sidebar badge uses and opens the Linked pull requests panel, because the number is also the handle for changing which pull requests the thread carries.

Same thread, same branch, same open pull request, same clean tree. Only the app code differs.
Chat header — the pull request number had no place in it before; now it has its own pill beside the git actions, which no longer changes meaning as the branch does.
Branch toolbar — the ghost badge showed the same number a few hundred pixels away, with nowhere to go.
Supersedes #11893, which was written against the pre-
thread.pullRequestscode and had drifted too far to rebase. Closes #11087.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
