+- The Git page's **Issues** and **Pull requests** forms now discover the repository's own
+  templates (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` Markdown and YAML issue forms, plus
+  `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and its variants). A lone template applies
+  automatically; with several, a **Template** picker (including **Blank**) chooses one.
+  The choice prefills the title prefix and body skeleton — a YAML issue form is flattened
+  into Markdown — and its `labels:` ride along on **Create**.
+
+- The Git page's **Issues** and **Pull requests** forms can now draft their title and
+  Markdown body with a **Generate** button. Add optional notes (or leave them blank) and
+  Orbit makes the same one-shot, tool-free `pi -p` call the commit-message generator uses,
+  reading the branch, its commits, and its changed files; when pi is missing or has no
+  credentials it falls back to a local heuristic built from those same facts. Nothing is
+  created until you review the draft and press **Create**.

 ### Fixed
 
+- Images in issue/PR bodies, comments, and transcripts now render. The markdown image
+  element forced a definite `height: 0`, and gpui derives a missing width from a definite
+  height before the image decodes (0 × ratio), so a loaded screenshot collapsed to a 0×0
+  box with only its border visible. The height is left auto now: the image scales to the
+  reading column and taffy keeps its aspect ratio.
+
+- Screenshots in replies load again when GitHub stored them as signed
+  `private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/…?jwt=…` URLs. That JWT expires within
+  minutes, so the app got a 404 and showed the alt-text fallback; the renderer rewrites
+  the URL to the durable `github.com/user-attachments/assets/<uuid>` form encoded in the
+  filename, which serves the same image.
+
+- GitHub issue/PR bodies and comments now render screenshots that GitHub stored as raw
+  HTML `<img src="…">` tags when the line is inside a blockquote or list item — a quoted
+  bug report is a common case. Previously only a standalone top-level `<img>` line became
+  an image, so these showed the tag as text; the whole tag/its URL rendered as a link.
+
+- The **New pull request** form's **Base branch** picker, and the **Template** pickers on
+  both new-issue/new-PR forms, no longer float over the wrong part of the form or paint
+  behind its fields. They are anchored to the chip that opens them (opening upward at the
+  bottom of the PR form), draw above the form, and use the top branch selector's dropdown
+  chip (glyph, value, chevron) and picker surface — list inset, rows, and search row for
+  the branch list.
+
+- The **Issues** tab's **Label** picker — the list filter chip and the detail view's
+  **Edit labels** button — no longer opens at the page's top-right over the issue list.
+  It anchors to the button that opened it, opens directly beneath it, and uses the same
+  picker surface and rows as the branch selector.

 - The conversation rail's active tick now follows every navigation path, not
   just wheel and scrollbar gestures. Clicking a tick and pressing ⌘↑/⌘↓ scroll

+The Git page's **Issues** and **Pull requests** tabs gained a **Generate** action: the
+**New issue** and **New pull request** forms take optional free-form notes, then draft a

+commits and changed files when pi is unavailable. The forms also read the repository's own
+templates (`gh_templates.rs`): a lone issue/PR template applies automatically, several are
+chosen from a **Template** picker, the body is prefilled with the template's skeleton (YAML
+issue forms are flattened to Markdown), the template's title prefix and labels are applied,
+and the generator is told to fill the template faithfully. Those tabs were also tightened
+for scanning — labels collapse to `+N`, every row ends in a fixed relative-time column, and

+## Issue and pull-request draft generation
+
+The **New issue** and **New pull request** forms have a **Generate** button beside their
+heading. An optional **Notes** field steers the draft; leave it blank to infer the subject
+from the repository context. Generation reuses the commit-message pattern: a one-shot,
+tool-free `pi -p` call (`issue_message.rs`) that reads the current branch, the branch's
+commits (against the chosen base for a PR), and its changed-file stat — never writing to
+the working tree or the active session. The model is asked for a single fenced block with
+the title on the first line and a Markdown body below it.
+
+### Repository templates
+
+Both forms discover the repository's own templates (`gh_templates.rs`, mirroring GitHub's
+lookup): the `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` directory (Markdown templates with YAML front
+matter, and the newer YAML issue forms, `config.yml` skipped) plus the legacy
+single-file locations, and `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` plus its variants. A form
+with exactly one template applies it automatically; with several, a **Template** chip
+opens a picker (including a **Blank** choice). Choosing a template prefills the title
+prefix (`bug: `) and the body skeleton, and **Create** passes the template's `labels:` to
+`gh`. An issue form is flattened into Markdown — each field's label becomes a heading,
+its description a guidance comment, dropdown/checkbox options rendered as comments and
+checkboxes — since Orbit edits plain Markdown rather than GitHub's dynamic form.
+
+The **Generate** prompt hands the model the selected template and asks it to fill every
+heading faithfully, preserving the template's checkboxes and sections. Without pi, the
+heuristic drops the notes (or the branch's commit subjects) into the template's first
+section.
+
+When pi is missing, unauthenticated, or times out, the button falls back to a local
+heuristic: the title comes from the first note line, else the latest commit subject, else
+the branch name read as words; the body lists the branch's commits and changed files under
+`## Summary` / `## What happened`. Either way the result lands in the editable title and
+body fields, and **Create** is still a separate, deliberate press.
+
+The Issues and Pull requests lists are built to scan: labels collapse to a `+N` chip, each
+row ends in a fixed relative-time column, and closed items are de-emphasized. The issue
+detail's reading-column + metadata-rail layout is now shared by the pull-request detail,
+whose rail summarizes review, checks, changes, branches, and the timeline.
+
 The branch chip opens a menu with **Merge branch…**, **Rebase onto…**, every
 local branch (checkout; delete uses safe `-d` first, then a confirmed `-D`),
 **New branch…**, and **Rename current branch…**. Merge can fast-forward, create
