Pull request overview
This PR adjusts how the Agents window “Changes” view decides which primary actions to surface by introducing a new sessions.hasBranchChanges context key and updating action when clauses to better handle cases where git state and session-provided change lists don’t align.
Changes:
- Add
sessions.hasBranchChangescontext key and plumb it from the Changes view model into the view’s scoped context. - Update “Mark as Done” visibility logic to distinguish “no changes” vs. merge/PR-completed states.
- Update Copilot extension primary-action menu gating for “Create PR” / “Create Draft PR” to use
sessions.hasBranchChanges.
