Fix old branch history and refine pull request creation flow

Summary

  • Fixes history selection when a selected branch tip is outside the currently loaded page: the model now resolves the tip hash (falling back to GitStatusService) and selects it only if the branch filter, search state, generation, and load key still match.
  • Moves the create pull request flow into a dedicated window via a new CreatePullRequestWindowController.
  • Relayouts the native diff table when the scroll view resizes.

Changes

  • History (macgit/ViewModels/HistoryListModel.swift)
    • Replaces selectBranchTipIfPossible() with async selectReferenceTipIfLoaded(_:), which looks up the tip in branchTips or fetches it, then validates stale state before selecting.
  • Create Pull Request window (macgit/App/CreatePullRequestWindowController.swift, new)
    • Adds CreatePullRequestWindowController managing an NSWindow sized to the current screen, centered, with min size, non-released-on-close, tabbing disabled, and an onClose callback.
    • Adds CreatePullRequestWindowContent, wiring draft loading, branch lookups, and a detail error alert to PullRequestController.
  • Pull request controller (macgit/App/PullRequestController.swift)
    • Adds prepareCreatePullRequest(repositoryURL:remoteName:sourceBranch:), which resolves the remote identity, verifies a matching account and API credential, and presents the create flow (setting detailErrorMessage for no remotes, missing account, invalid credential, or unsupported provider).
  • Views
    • MainWindowView+PullRequestActions.swift, MainWindowView.swift, PullRequestListView.swift, CreatePullRequestSheet.swift, and HistoryScreen.swift updated to route through the new window/flow.
    • DiffNativeTable.swift updated for relayout on scroll view resize.
  • Tests added/extended: DiffNativeTableTests.swift, HistoryPaginationTests.swift, PullRequestControllerTests.swift.

Notes / uncertainty

  • The supplied patch was truncated; later hunks for DiffNativeTable.swift, the main window views, and the test files are not visible, so specific behavior in those files is not described here.
  • No test run results or verification commands are included in the supplied data, so testing status is unverified.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Create pull requests in a dedicated, resizable window. The flow checks repository and account availability and displays relevant errors when setup is incomplete.
  • Improvements
    • Selecting a branch selects its tip commit when available in the loaded history; otherwise, the history switches to that branch.
    • Diff panels adjust their layout when the window is resized.

Fall back to branch-scoped history when the selected branch tip is not in the loaded commits, and add pagination coverage for older branch tips.
Extract CreatePullRequestWindowController and prepareCreatePullRequest controller method so the sheet opens in its own window without switching sidebar selection.
Observe content view frame changes in addition to bounds changes and remove all registered observers on stop.

📝 Walkthrough

Pull-request creation now uses a dedicated window. History selection can load and select a reference tip when available. Diff tables relayout when their scroll view content changes size.

Changes: Pull-request creation window

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepare pull-request draft
macgit/App/PullRequestController.swift, macgitTests/PullRequestControllerTests.swift
prepareCreatePullRequest resolves repository and provider context before preparing a draft. The test verifies that preparation does not load the pull-request list.
Present and operate the creation window
macgit/Views/MainWindow/MainWindowView+PullRequestActions.swift, macgit/Views/MainWindow/MainWindowView.swift, macgit/App/CreatePullRequestWindowController.swift, macgit/Views/PullRequests/CreatePullRequestSheet.swift, macgit/Views/PullRequests/PullRequestListView.swift
The main window presents the draft in a dedicated window and connects its actions to the controller. The creation view hides its back button in a window and ignores cancellation while submitting. The pull-request list no longer hosts the creation view.

History reference-tip selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Load and select a reference tip
macgit/ViewModels/HistoryListModel.swift, macgit/Views/History/HistoryScreen.swift, macgitTests/HistoryPaginationTests.swift
History selection can fetch an uncached reference tip and select it when loaded. The screen changes the branch filter if selection does not succeed and the request remains current. The test covers a tip beyond the initial history page.

Diff table resizing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relayout on content-view size changes
macgit/Views/Common/DiffNativeTable.swift, macgitTests/DiffNativeTableTests.swift
The diff-table coordinator relayouts when the content view changes bounds or frame, and removes both observers when stopped. The test checks layout widths after resizing.

A failed pull-request preparation could reopen an older draft, and selecting a reference during search can change the search scope. The window lifecycle concerns are addressed; confirm the draft re-entry path before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear the previous draft seed before preparation can fail.

prepareCreatePullRequest does not reset createDraftSeed when it begins. Suppose a draft seed remains from an earlier session, and a later preparation fails with an error such as "Connect Account...". The callers in MainWindowView+PullRequestActions.swift check createDraftSeed == nil before they show the error. That check fails because the old seed is still set, so the callers open the window with stale data from the earlier repository or branch. The callers also never show the error. dismissCreatePullRequest clears the seed when the window closes, but the seed survives any path that skips that call, such as a successful createPullRequest followed by a failed refresh. Reset the draft state at the start of preparation so that each failure path is reported reliably.

Proposed fix
         activeRepositoryURL = repositoryURL
         detailErrorMessage = nil
+        dismissCreatePullRequest()

Keep the branch filter unchanged during an active search.

If activeSearchQuery is nonempty, selectReferenceTipIfLoaded returns false. This fallback then changes .all to .branch(value) and reloads the search with a different scope. Restrict the fallback to an unloaded tip when no search is active; a false result alone does not establish that condition.

macgit/Views/MainWindow/MainWindowView.swift:175
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Close the create window when the repository view disappears.

createPullRequestWindow owns a separate NSWindow. The existing onDisappear cleanup closes other managed windows but does not close this one. If the repository window closes while a draft is open, the creation window can remain visible with actions bound to the closed repository view. Close it during repository-view cleanup so its close callback also dismisses the draft.
