Summary

A batch of small upgrades from daily use:

• Back/forward in the titlebar – VS Code-style arrows for editor history (⌘[ / ⌘] already worked). Back/forward now also restores repo and mailmap views, and worktree/mailmap links are recorded in history.
• List controls persist across panel switches – new app/stores/list-controls-store.ts holds search/filter/sort per list type. Radar columns and matching Focus sidebar sections share it. Filter, sort, and sidebar section expansion persist across restarts; search is session-only.
• "All" sidebar filter controls – SectionHeader/SectionFilter were declared inside Sidebar's render, so every background refresh remounted them (stealing focus, closing native <select> popups). Hoisted to module scope.
• Remote lists – show feature/x instead of remotes/origin/feature/x (remote badge only when there are several remotes); commit hashes removed.
• Commit counts – count commits since the fork from origin/master → origin/main → master → main, not the whole history. main/master keep their full count.
• Remote branch rename – previously ran git branch -m remotes/origin/x …, giving "branch not found". Now GitHub remotes use gh api …/branches/{branch}/rename, so open PRs follow the rename (a failure is reported; there is no silent push+delete fallback that would close PRs). Other remotes push the new name and delete the old one. Local tracking branches are retargeted. A Rename button is added to the remote branch card.
• PR rename – Rename button on the PR detail card (open PRs) runs gh pr edit --title, via a new edit-pr-title conveyor channel.
• Line staging review – staging selected lines of an untracked file always failed (does not exist in index); partial patches now create the file. Untracked diffs no longer include a phantom trailing empty line (which also made whole-file hunk staging add a blank line). The three duplicate untracked-diff builders now share buildUntrackedFileDiff.

Test plan

• npm run typecheck and eslint clean
• npm test – full Playwright suite green, including new tests:
  • untracked-file whole and partial line staging (with/without trailing newline)
  • fork-based commit counts
  • remote branch rename against a local bare remote (incl. upstream retargeting)
  • remote display-name helpers
  • list sort persists across canvas switches and is shared with the radar column
  • titlebar back/forward walk the editor history
• Manual: rename a throwaway remote branch with an open PR on GitHub and confirm the PR follows
• Manual: rename a PR title from the PR card

Note

Medium Risk
Touches git remotes (rename, commit ranges), GitHub CLI/API for PR and branch renames, and staging patch generation—real repo mutation paths though scoped to explicit user actions.

Overview
Adds VS Code-style back/forward in the titlebar (alongside existing ⌘[ / ⌘]) and wires editor history to restore repo and mailmap views when navigating.

Introduces a shared list-controls-store so search, filter, sort, and sidebar section expansion stay aligned between Radar columns and Focus sidebar sections, survive canvas/panel switches, and persist filter/sort/section state across restarts. Sidebar filter UI is hoisted to module scope so list refreshes no longer remount controls and steal focus from inputs/dropdowns.

Remote branches show short names (remote badge only when multiple remotes); commit counts count commits since fork from main/master. Rename remote branches from the detail card via GitHub’s branch-rename API on origin (or push+delete elsewhere), with tracking branches updated. Rename open PR titles from the PR card through a new edit-pr-title IPC path.

Staging fixes line-level staging for untracked files and removes phantom trailing blank lines in untracked diffs via shared buildUntrackedFileDiff and newFile partial patches.

Stale tip can drop remote commits

Medium Severity

The non-GitHub rename pushes refs/remotes/<remote>/<oldName> as the new head and then deletes the live remote branch, without fetching first. A stale tracking ref can publish an old tip and drop commits that only existed on the remote.
