🟡 Medium git/GitManager.ts:953
Status suppresses a real PR badge after git branch -m old-name new-name because the renamed branch still tracks origin/old-name, causing resolveBranchHeadContext to return { latest: null }. Conversely, endsWith('/feature') misclassifies origin/team/feature as the published head for local feature, so status can display an unrelated PR from the base branch. Replace this heuristic with logic that distinguishes renamed branches from base-tracking branches and compares the remote name separately from the slash-containing remote branch name.

The second half (origin/team/feature misclassified as the published head of local feature) was real and is fixed in 1d1ca06: the suffix comparison now runs against the parsed headContext.headBranch in the alias direction only, with a regression test.
The rename half is inherent ambiguity, not something this heuristic can resolve: after git branch -m old new, branch.new.merge is refs/heads/old, byte-identical to a checkout cut from old. No config or commit-graph signal distinguishes them (a fresh cut equals its base exactly; a renamed branch with local work is ahead of its upstream, and so is a stale base). Given the tie, hiding the badge until the next push is the safer failure mode: attaching the wrong PR auto-settles the thread and survives checkout switches because merged PRs are retained, which is the bug this PR fixes. The badge comes back on git push, since push updates old on the remote and that head is the PR's. On main today the rename case only worked when the upstream was non-default; it was already suppressed for default-branch upstreams by the previous guard.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a narrowly scoped fix to prevent inherited pull-request metadata, with targeted regression coverage. The updated branch heuristic still has an unresolved tradeoff where renamed branches may lose a legitimate PR badge, so the behavior warrants human review. Not approved because:

@shivamhwp I've rebased this onto the newer code and kept the branch-name lookup from #9125. The stricter alias check now uses that fallback for both default and non-default bases, so plain pushes still find their PR and failed lookups keep the last known PR. |
A branch created with `git checkout -b feature origin/dev` tracks its base, and the status PR lookup reads the upstream ref as the branch's published head. The guard against that only fired when the upstream was the repository default branch, so a repo that integrates through a non-default branch showed that branch's newest release PR on every thread cut from it. Treat any upstream whose name differs from the local branch as the base, which is how `resolveBaseBranch` already reads it when opening a PR. Branches that track a remote ref under a git-mangled local name (a remote whose own name contains a slash) keep their lookup.
`upstreamRef.endsWith("/" + branch)` also matched a branch cut from a
hierarchical base whose tail equals the branch name (local v2 tracking
origin/release/v2), so those kept inheriting the base's PR. The alias
suffix runs the other way: the git-mangled local name ends with the
parsed head branch. Compare against headContext.headBranch directly.
… ref A branch ending in its head's name was still counted as an alias, so feature/dev cut from origin/dev kept inheriting dev's PR. A git-mangled alias satisfies both suffix directions: the local name ends with the parsed head and the upstream ref ends with the local name.

Hey, any updates on this? |

Fixes #8209.
Feature branches tracking a differently named base such as
origin/devcan inherit the base’s PR and incorrectly settle their threads. PR discovery now uses the stricter tracking-alias check for both default and non-default bases. When tracking points to a base, the existing remote-ref fallback from #9125 looks for the local branch’s own published head, including on a fork; it skips the hosting-provider lookup if no matching ref exists.Status, turn-end discovery, failed-lookup recovery, and push notifications use the same head resolution. Slash-containing remote aliases and cross-repository heads retain their existing handling. The lookup cache no longer depends on the repository’s default branch.
Validation after rebasing onto
9375c7797:main/dev, fork lookup, failure recovery, tracking-alias cases, and push notifications.git diff --checkpassed.This prevents incorrect discovery; it does not migrate previously persisted branch PR references. CI execution requires a maintainer to approve the fork workflows.
