WebUI misses focepushes

[Green-Sky]

🏷️ Discussion Type

Bug

Body

I was going to look at what changes where done when forcepushing, but the webui does not show recent, or all, foce pushes. I checked with the app, it its all there, so this must be a webui issue.

No idea how to reproduce, but here is the pr: TokTok/qTox#699

Caution

Hiding changes is very dangerous, if this can be reproduced, this should be treated as a security issue.

Thanks for reporting this. I checked the PR you linked and, if the desktop app shows additional force-push events that are missing from the web UI, that definitely sounds worth investigating.

Force-push history is important for code review and auditability, so any discrepancy between clients could potentially confuse reviewers or hide context unintentionally.

A few details that might help narrow this down:

• Which browser and version are you using?
• Does the issue persist in an incognito/private window?
• Are the missing force-push events visible through the repository's timeline or only in GitHub Desktop?
• Approximately when did the force pushes occur?

If this is reproducible and force-push events are consistently absent from the web UI while still existing elsewhere, I agree it should be treated with high priority because reviewers rely on that history when evaluating changes.

Hopefully a GitHub staff member can take a closer look at the PR and determine whether this is a UI synchronization issue or something deeper.
