Direct CI summary commands could not browse the run page because the command path had no run URL to hand into the summary buffer. Restore a run URL fallback, make summary browse behavior line-sensitive for GitHub job rows, and preserve internal blank separators while trimming only boundary whitespace from native summaries.
GitHub run summaries are already native terminal output, and trying to replay that surface in a normal buffer keeps creating tension between terminal fidelity and structured interactions. Route GitHub ci log through a terminal buffer instead, keep it in normal mode on open, and layer context-sensitive browse and enter actions on top.

Problem
GitHub run summaries are native terminal output, but Forge currently replays that surface into a structured buffer. That preserves some custom interactions, but it also creates constant tension between terminal fidelity and buffer-side parsing/highlighting. Even after the recent summary work, GitHub
ci logis still effectively a translation layer over a terminal-native view.Solution
Route GitHub
ci logthrough a terminal buffer instead of the summary buffer, keep the buffer in normal mode on open, and add buffer-local browse and enter actions on top of the rendered terminal text. This keeps the native GitHub rendering while still allowing context-sensitivegxand<cr>behavior.
