Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 70e87d9f27 Leave a command with nothing to say out of the options bar
A command that acts on a diff selection has nothing to say over content that
isn't a diff, and says so by describing itself as nothing — but a binding
that is displayed on screen is displayed whatever its description, so it
would show as a key with an empty label. Leave it out instead.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 5d1489bc92 Copy the selected diff lines from the focused main view
The main view shows a diff renderer's picture of a diff, and that is not
what you want on your clipboard: a renderer may drop the +/- column, move
the line numbers into a gutter, group a hunk's deletions before its
additions, or leave lines out altogether. So copying takes the lines from
the diff itself, locating them by the identity of the selected rows.

Only the panel that produced the diff can produce it again, though: the
working tree's staged or unstaged side, a commit's, a stash entry's. The
new seam is there for that. It asks per file, so that copying three lines
of a commit's diff doesn't fetch the whole of it, and it will grow the
actions on a selection as staging and patch building arrive.

The clipboard gets the run of diff lines from the first selected line of
a file to the last, so that lines the renderer hid come along and the
result still reads as a diff. Headers count as selected lines too. A hunk
header names the first line of its hunk, so it is looked for the way a
line of the file is. A file header names no line at all, and a rendering
may draw it over any number of rows, so a selection touching one of them
takes the whole header.

As in the patch explorers, a selection that is all additions or all
deletions loses its +/- column, ready to be pasted into code. One that
reaches into a header keeps the columns, and what comes out is a patch
fragment rather than lines of code.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 89893c32a2 Share how a ref's diff endpoints are derived
The commit files context works out the two ends to diff from the ref (or
range of refs) it was entered for. The panels that hold those refs
themselves — commits, sub-commits, stash, reflog — are about to need the
same two ends, to hand out the diff behind what they render into the
focused main view. Pull the derivation out of the context so they can ask
for it rather than each spelling out the parent-of-from rule again.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 941f01af58 Always show a file's staged changes in the lower pane
Which pane a side of a file's diff appeared in depended on what else the file
had: the staged side had the lower pane while there were unstaged changes
above it, and took over the upper one when there weren't. So the same content
moved about, and which side a pane was showing was something the code had to
work out from the file's status rather than knowing from the pane.

Now each side has a pane of its own — unstaged above, staged below — shown
when there is something on it. A file with nothing unstaged shows its staged
changes in the lower pane alone, which then has the whole space, including
the label of the key that focuses it.

Nothing about this is visible to the user: the same diff appears in the same
place, with the same title and the same label, and the same keys focus and
scroll it. What it is for is the code, which no longer has to ask the file
what a pane is showing — and, once the diff can be staged from, no longer has
to make one key mean opposite things in the same pane.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 8baa4d47bd Let the main section show the secondary pane alone
The main section shows one pane or two, which was enough while the second
pane only ever accompanied the first. It is about to have to show the second
one by itself: the working tree's staged changes are moving there for good,
and a file with nothing but staged changes has only that side to show — it
should have the whole section rather than sit under an empty pane.

So which panes are shown becomes a three-way answer, derived from which of
them the render has content for.

Behaviour-preserving: nothing renders into the secondary pane alone yet.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 06e8cb85f9 Let an emptied main pane forget what it was showing
A pane that has been emptied is showing nothing, but it kept the scroll
position it was left at and went on claiming the render it used to show,
so the next render into it — the same command's output, the file it was
showing being selected again — counted as content the view already had,
and was revealed partway down.

So say what the empty pane is: at the top, and showing nothing that a
render can be a re-render of.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 79e1ce256f Keep both ends of a selected range across a re-render
A range or hunk selection covers a stretch of the diff, and restoring only
the cursor left the other end pointing at whatever line the new rendering
happened to put there — with more context lines above, a selected hunk
would grow a tail of context it never covered.

So the other end is remembered by identity too, and put back before the
cursor. If it is a line the re-render dropped, the selection is left as the
single line we landed on: there is no telling which line inherits a
selection's edge, and a wrong guess acts on lines the user never chose.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 1a9a8e5203 Keep your place in the diff when ignoring whitespace
Ignoring whitespace is how you ask whether what you are looking at is more
than reindentation, so being dropped at the top of the diff is a poor
answer: you have to find your way back to the change you were asking about
to see what became of it.

Unlike the other ways of re-rendering a diff, this one can take the line
you were on away for good, along with the hunk or even the file it was in.
When it does, the view lands on the nearest line the diff kept, wherever in
it that is — the walk of fallbacks doesn't stop at the file's edge, since a
file of nothing but reindentation leaves nothing nearer to land on. And
when ignoring whitespace empties the diff altogether, there is nothing to
keep and the view simply shows what is left.

A whitespace-only change that shares a hunk with a real one is a happier
case: it is shown as a context line rather than as a change, but it is
still the same line of the same file, so we stay on it.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 f1f5479d47 Keep your place in the diff when switching diff renderers
Cycling through the diff renderers is for comparing how they show the same
change, which is hard to do from the top of the diff each time. The line
you were on is the same line of the same file whichever renderer draws it,
so the restore finds it again — by the records a renderer states, where it
speaks the protocol, and by parsing its output as a diff otherwise.

The restore sits in DiffHelper.RenderToMainAgain. A switch between a
dark and a light terminal background renders the diff again through the
same helper, so it keeps your place as well.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 0eeb8adcbf Keep your place in the diff when changing the context size
Pressing { or } re-rendered the diff with less or more context around each
change and dropped you back at the top of it, so finding your way back to
what you were reading was on you.

Remember where the view is before triggering the re-render, and have the
restore put it back there. The line to remember is the selected one when a
selection is showing, and the middle visible line otherwise — what you are
looking at, rather than the view's top edge. It is remembered by identity,
because the new rendering puts it on a different line of the view, and it
is found again by the records a diff renderer states for its rows, or by
parsing the rendering as a diff where it still looks like one.

The line may not be there at all afterwards: shrinking the context takes
context lines away. So the lines around it come along as fallbacks, nearest
first, and the view lands on the nearest one that survived, put back on the
screen row it was on — leaving what you were reading where it was, give or
take the line that went. The walk that collects them covers the whole diff
rather than stopping at the nearest change on either side: those always
survive a context-size change, but not everything a re-render can do to a
diff is that considerate.

Under a diff renderer that says nothing about its rows there is nothing to
look for at all, and the view is left at the offset it had instead: often not
the line it was on, but always closer to it than the top of the diff. That is
what the re-render asks for besides the restore, since it is a different
command from the one that produced what is on screen and would otherwise be
taken for a diff the user has never seen.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 8e9f8f89f3 Follow the selection with the search in the focused main view
Search the diff, then move the selection with the arrow keys, and
pressing "n" goes to the match after the one the search was last on
rather than to the one after the selection. So walking through the diff
and then picking up the search where you got to takes as many presses as
there are matches behind you.

List views and the staging view keep the current match in step with their
selection; do the same here.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 b3d94e08b2 Draw the diff selection as a narrow bar rather than across the line
Now that a diff view always carries a selection, the highlight fights the
diff itself for the line's colours. Painting the selection across the whole
line takes over the background, and a selected hunk becomes one solid block
with no boundary between what was removed and what replaced it — the more
lines you select, the less you can read.

This isn't specific to renderers like delta that say which side of the diff
a line is on by colouring its background, though they suffer most: git's own
output puts red and green text on that background, which reads badly too.
Since there is no rendering of a diff that a full-width highlight doesn't
degrade, there is nothing here worth configuring — the bar is simply what
diff views use.

Left edge only, and two columns wide: every convention for marking a row of
coloured content — change bars, diff gutters, selection gutters — puts the
marker on the left, and bracketing both edges reads as framing instead.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 99a52ef604 Edit the selected line of a diff from the focused main view
Reading a diff is often how you notice something to fix, and the file and
line are right there in front of you — so pressing edit opens the file at
the line under the selection, as it does in the staging view.

The line number the diff shows is the line number in the version the diff
is of, which for a commit's diff is not where that line sits today, so it
is carried forward the same way clicking a diff-renderer hyperlink already
does. A file header names no line, so it just opens the file.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 440e507888 Jump by hunk and by file in the focused main view
Reading a diff of any size means moving in bigger steps than a line at a
time, which the staging view offers and the main view didn't. So the same
hunk keys work here, and n / N step from file to file — worth having only
here, since a diff spanning several files is something the staging view
never showed.

Where "the next file" begins isn't in the text: a diff renderer may print
whatever it likes above a file's content. So navigation lands on the first
row that states which file it belongs to, which is the file's header when
the source says so and its first content line otherwise. The anchor's own
file is found by scanning down rather than to the nearest row either way —
having just landed on a header, the nearest row above belongs to the file
we came from, and taking it would send the next press back where we
started.

A file you go to is brought to the top of the view, since the file is what
you went there for and the more of it is on screen the better. That only
applies where the view has to scroll at all: a file already on screen
leaves it where it is. In hunk mode what ends up selected is the file's
first change rather than the row the file begins at, and a large context
size can put that change further down than a screenful; the selection is
scrolled into view afterwards as any other jump's is, and the alignment
gives way where the two can't both hold.

The diff loads lazily, so a target below the loaded portion isn't there to
be found; rather than doing nothing, we read the rest in and look again.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 002ac12665 Select a range of diff lines by dragging
Selecting a range with the mouse is the obvious gesture once clicking
selects a line, and it's the only way to get a range without knowing the
keybindings.

The range has to be anchored where the mouse went down, which the view
can't tell us: a click in hunk mode selects a whole block, leaving the
view's own range anchor at the block's far end, so a drag from there would
grow the selection from the wrong end. So the clicked line is remembered
when the click happens, and the drag anchors there.

A drag that reaches the edge of the view keeps scrolling, using the same
autoscroller the staging view does — mouse capture means the pointer can be
dragged past the edge, and there is more diff down there than fits on
screen. Unlike the staging view, whose content is a string that is always
there in full, this diff loads lazily, so scrolling down has to keep
reading it in or the autoscroll would stop at the loaded edge.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 42df7ef093 Select a whole change block when focusing the main view in hunk mode
Users who set hunk mode as their default get it when entering the staging
view, and the focused main view is on its way to replacing that view, so it
has to behave the same: focusing selects a whole change block, and clicking
a change line selects that line's block, ready to act on. A click on a
context line still selects only that line, since the click points at it
precisely — you may well want to edit it. A click inside the block that is
already selected does the same, giving hunk mode up and going back to line
by line. That keeps a single line reachable with the mouse in a block too
long to see the end of, and matches how a click inside a range selection
already collapses it.

The block offered up is the first one that begins on screen, so that its
whole extent can be seen before acting on it. Only when none does — a change
too long to fit on the screen — is the block that reaches into the view from
above taken instead, and the selection then extends to its first line off
screen: focusing a diff must not move it, so nothing here scrolls.

The staging view makes one exception, and so must we, or a file that is one
solid block of changes (a file you just created, or deleted) would come up
with all of it selected. The staging view asks the parsed patch; we ask the
rendered diff the same question, which needs no second git invocation and
works over a whole commit's diff, where the answer differs per file.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 0fb30cd986 Make selecting a change block reachable without a controller

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 57757a1b8e Let a main pane be named without the context package
The mode of a diff view's selection lives on the context of the pane showing
it, and until now only the controllers that drive the selection needed to
name that pane, all of which have it as the concrete context it is.

A side panel is about to be handed the pane a command was invoked in, so
that it can act on what is selected there — and it can't be handed a
context, the interface it is handed one through being declared where a
context's concrete type isn't available. So the state moves to where such an
interface can speak of it, and the panes gain one: a context that has a diff
selection.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 81851dcbbf Show a selection in the focused main view
The focused main view could be scrolled but not pointed at: there was no
way to say "this line" or "these lines", which is what every line-level
interaction needs — editing a line, copying part of a diff, and, later,
staging. So a diff main view now always carries a selection while focused,
starting at the first change already on screen so that focusing doesn't
move the view.

The mode of the selection lives on the main context (a single line, a
range from a fixed anchor, or the change block around the cursor); the
selected line and the range anchor stay in the view itself, whose native
range select draws them, so there is no new highlight machinery. The modes
and their keys are the ones the staging view has, including that the arrow
keys step from block to block in hunk mode.

A pane holds something to select only when what it is showing is a diff
with changes in it, which the render works out once its content is final: a
placeholder message is not a diff, and neither is a diff with nothing in it
at all, such as a binary file's or an empty commit's. Whether a selection
is then drawn there follows from the context stack, as it does for every
other view.

A click in the focused main view now has a meaning again: it selects the
line it points at.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 e8f1a969c4 Classify which side panels show a diff in their main view
The focused main view is about to show a selection, but only where there
are diff lines to act on: a branch's commit log or the status dashboard
has nothing to select. Rather than have the main view guess from the
rendered content, let the side panels say so, since each of them knows
what it renders.

The classification is finer than a yes/no because acting on a selection
means different things per panel — staging into the working tree for the
files panel, taking lines into a custom patch for the commit panels — and
those actions want the same one answer as this. Only whether a panel
shows a diff at all is read for now.

controllers for it, so move them to where the state will live. The two
controllers were attached to the same pair of contexts and nothing else,

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 3af5e7940c Ask diff renderers for OSC 1717 metadata
A renderer that speaks the protocol emits nothing unless it is asked to,
so that its output stays plain wherever it is used outside lazygit. The
variable names the versions we understand.

git is one of the renderers we ask. It has no pager to spawn, and so no
terminal to spawn one in, but it still renders the diff itself — for the
word-diff formats, whose markup nothing else could resolve — so the
request has to be made before we decide a pty isn't needed.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 2770b2e5a2 Take a diff renderer at its word about a diff line
Where a renderer states which line of which file it is rendering, take
that as the line's identity. The renderer knows, and for a rendering
that no longer looks like a diff nothing else does. Reading the rendered
text stays the way for the renderings that keep a diff's structure, and
for the renderers that say nothing at all.

Which of the two is used is settled for the rendering as a whole, not
row by row. A rendering with records is not parsed at all, not even for
the rows the renderer says nothing about. Its text is no unified diff,
and a row of it can read like one. Under delta, a commit that adds a
test whose input is a diff shows the test's "diff --git a/img.png
b/img.png" line as a row of its own; parsed, that row opens a file
section that runs to the end of the rendering, and every row delta puts
between hunks and files comes out as a header of a file called img.png.
So the untagged rows of such a rendering stay unresolved, as the
protocol has it (spec section 6.4).

Header records are accepted too. This lets a renderer point at a file
with no content lines, such as a pure rename, a mode change or a binary
file: for those files the header is the only row in the diff.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 a7f08990f8 Read the OSC 1717 records a diff renderer emits
A diff renderer that restructures the diff — into columns, or with the
+/- markers replaced by colour — leaves us no way to tell which line of
which file a rendered row came from, which is what acting on the row
requires. The OSC 1717 protocol has the renderer say so directly: it
prefixes each line it renders with a record naming the file and the
line's position in the old and new versions of it.

Attach each record to the cells it precedes, so that a row's records
survive wrapping and the columns of a side-by-side rendering, and hand
them to readers together with the row's text: the two have to describe
the same buffer, and a re-render can rebuild it between two reads.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 8cd0a0e9ad Decode the path of a diff header the way git writes it
git doesn't just print the path: it terminates it with a tab when the
path contains a space, and C-quotes the whole field when the path
contains anything it won't print raw — with core.quotePath, which is on
by default, that means any non-ASCII byte, so a file called café shows
up as "b/caf\303\251".

Taking the field verbatim therefore gives a path that doesn't exist, for
a whole class of perfectly ordinary file names. The quoting is Go's own
string syntax, octal escapes and all, so decoding it is a call to
strconv.Unquote.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 2a190fd1e4 Recover the identity of a diff line from the rendered diff
To act on the line the user is pointing at in a diff view — to stage it,
to open it in an editor, to keep the cursor on it while the diff is
regenerated — we need to know which file it belongs to and where it sits
in that file. Only the diff the view was rendered from knows that, and
by the time it's on screen all we have is text.

So parse it back: the view's contents are (usually) a unified diff, and
running them through the patch parser recovers each row's file, kind and
line numbers. "Usually" is why this goes behind a seam, and why it
answers "I don't know" rather than guessing: a diff renderer is free to
restructure what it prints, and a wrong answer here means acting on the
wrong line of the wrong file.

Parsing a whole buffer is a separate entry point from parsing a single
line, because a caller resolving every row of a large diff must not
re-parse a file's section once per line of it.

Add an 'auto' value and make it the default. It uses the detailed graph
in kitty from 0.36.2 and in Ghostty from 1.0.0 on. These are the first
versions that draw all of the symbols. Everywhere else it stays with
the classic graph. This includes tmux, because tmux answers XTVERSION
itself. So far, WezTerm draws the symbols only in its nightly builds, so
it isn't detected until a release has them. VS Code isn't detected
either, because it only draws the symbols with GPU acceleration.

The expected output of the integration tests has the classic graph, so
pin it in their config. Otherwise they would fail when run with a
visible UI in one of these terminals.

Log the terminal's name and version at startup, to make it possible to
find out why 'auto' picked what it did.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 da5b9b54eb Add an option to draw the commit graph with branch drawing symbols
If a branch forks off a merge commit, the graph can't show both lines
in the merge commit's row. The line from the branch's first commit ends
in the same cell in which the merge's line to its second parent starts.
The box drawing characters have no symbol for a line from above that
bends to the left combined with a line from the left that bends down,
so one of the two gets lost. Today the cell shows a plain vertical
line, and the branch looks as if it sat on the merge's second parent
(#5497).

The branch drawing symbols in the Unicode Private Use Area (U+F5D0 to
U+F60D) have a symbol for every way in which lines meet in a cell.
kitty introduced them for git graph viewers like vim-flog, and Ghostty,
Contour, the terminal of VS Code and nightly builds of WezTerm render
them too. Other terminals need a font that contains them.

Add the gui.commitGraphStyle config. Its 'detailed' style draws the
graph with these symbols, and the commit symbols of the set connect to
their lines. Commits are drawn as hollow circles and merge commits as
filled ones. The default stays the 'classic' style with the box drawing
characters, because not every terminal can display the others.

A cell has only one colour. Where two lines meet, the symbol takes the
colour of the line from above. With the box drawing characters,
highlighting the lines of the selected commit clears the cells they run
through. The branch drawing symbols keep the other lines. A cell in
which a highlighted line bends is highlighted as a whole. Where a
highlighted line crosses the vertical line of another commit, it is
drawn over that line, so that it reads as one line. In a cell in which
another line bends, the symbol keeps the colour of that line.

This separates choosing the characters from writing them out with their
styles, so that the next commit can add another set of characters.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 e5c5a62cd9 Record how lines run through the cells of the commit graph
A cell of the commit graph only records which of its edges are touched
by lines. That's all the box drawing characters can show, but it
doesn't say how the lines connect. A vertical line with a horizontal
line passing behind it touches all four edges. So does a cell in which
the line from above bends to the left, the line below comes in from the
left, and a horizontal line passes through.

For the lines at the top and bottom edges, record whether they run
straight on or bend to the left or right, and record whether a line
passes through horizontally. Nothing reads this yet. It prepares for
drawing the graph with symbols that can show these differences.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 91378b1e8a Stop drawing a line below root commits in the commit graph
If a root commit isn't the last one in the list, the graph draws a
vertical line below it in every row that follows. A root commit's pipe
to the empty tree never terminates, because no commit comes after it,
so it is carried on from row to row. The line also takes up its column,
and an unrelated commit after the root commit is placed to the right of
it.

Drop that pipe after the root commit's row. In its own row, it still
gives the commit symbol the style of the commit. Also, place a commit
that no line leads to next to the lines that go on into its row, not
next to the lines that ended in the row before. Their columns are free
again.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 cee602c029 Demonstrate that the graph continues the line below a root commit
If a root commit isn't the last one in the list, the graph draws a
vertical line below it in every row that follows, although nothing
comes after a root commit. This happens in repos with more than one
root commit, for example when showing all branches of a repo with a
gh-pages branch, or after merging an unrelated history.

Also, a commit that no line leads to is placed to the right of the
lines that ended in the row before it, although their columns are free
again.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 0afb94e97b Lay git's own diff out to the width the layout gives the view
Changing the screen mode renders the main view again, and so does
anything else that changes its size along with what it shows. With git's
own diff, that render laid a commit's diffstat out to the width the view
had before. The graph then wrapped onto rows of its own in a view that
got narrower, and stopped short in one that got wider.

A diff renderer's render is created after the layout pass, since only
the layout settles the view's size, and takes its width there. git's own
diff took its width straight away instead, when the render was asked
for. Create its task after the layout as well.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 1b4757be89 Allow deleting a range selection of tags
Tags can only be deleted one at a time. If many of them have piled up,
for example backup tags made before rewriting a branch, deleting them
takes a lot of keypresses.

Let the delete menu work on a range selection of tags. It deletes the
selected tags with one git command for the local tags and one for the
remote tags, and asks for a single remote for all of them. After
deleting local tags, collapse the range selection to its first line;
otherwise it would select the tags that moved up into the place of the
deleted ones.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 26ad23a8d2 Offer to update the branches stacked below the current one when pulling
When somebody else rebases a stack and force-pushes it, pulling the
topmost branch leaves the branches below it diverged. They can be
updated with `f`, but pushing the stack offers to push the branches
below along with the current one, and pulling should be symmetric.

When pulling, find the branches stacked below the current one that can
be updated without losing anything. These are those that are behind
their upstream branches, and those that diverged from them only because
they were rewritten. If there are any, show a menu that lists them and
offers to update them in addition to pulling the current branch, or to
pull only the current branch. The current branch is pulled as before.

The decision is based on the last fetch, not on a new one, so that the
menu appears right away. If the remote has changed since then, a branch
might not be offered although it could be updated; it then shows as
diverged after the pull, and pulling again offers it. The update itself
fetches the upstream branches and checks them again, so it never loses
commits.

Branches that are checked out in another worktree are not offered,
since updating them would change the files there.

The branches below are updated before the current branch is pulled. If
one of them pointed into the commits that a rebasing pull rebases, the
pull would move it when rebase.updateRefs is set, and updating it
afterwards would fail. If updating them fails, the current branch isn't
pulled.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 b7395b1637 Split fast-forwarding branches into preparing and running it
FastForwardBranches looks up the worktrees of the branches in the model
on the UI thread, and then does the rest on a worker, with the branches
shown as being fast-forwarded. The next commit needs to update branches
as part of pulling the current one, in the pull's own task.

Move everything except the inline status into PrepareFastForward, which
returns the part to run on a worker.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 0a99f65be3 Auto-forward branches that are checked out in other worktrees
If a main branch is checked out in another worktree, auto-forwarding
after a fetch skips it. People who keep the main branch checked out in
their main worktree, and work on feature branches in linked worktrees,
therefore never get it forwarded.

Fast-forward such a branch in the worktree it is checked out in, as `f`
does. Skip the worktree if it has changes to tracked files, since
nobody asked for its files to change. Also skip it if it is mid-rebase
or mid-bisect, because its HEAD is then detached from the branch. A
branch in the current worktree is never forwarded. This covers the case
of the current worktree being mid-rebase on a main branch, whose ref
would otherwise be forwarded under the rebase.

Auto-forwarding now writes the same reflog message as `f`
("lazygit: update to upstream branch").

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 1b4fc02040 Keep fast-forwarding the other branches when one of them fails
If `f` is used on several branches that are checked out in other
worktrees, the first worktree in which the fast-forward fails stops the
whole operation. For example, an untracked file that the fast-forward
would overwrite leaves the branches after it untouched, even though
nothing is wrong with them.

Try all the branches, and report the errors of the failed ones
together. The checks that refuse to fast-forward any of the branches
still run before anything is moved.

The next commit uses forwardBranches for auto-forwarding branches in
other worktrees, where stopping at the first failure is worse. A
worktree that fails every time would prevent the ones after it from
ever being forwarded. For this, forwardBranches also takes the git
commands to use, since a background worker doesn't block switching
repos.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 245a613762 Auto-forward branches on a worker
AutoForwardBranches runs in the Then callback of the refresh after a
fetch. This is on the UI thread, so the git command for updating the
branches blocks the UI while it runs. This is fine for a single
update-ref, but the next commit adds a git status and a git merge for
each branch that is checked out in another worktree.

Keep reading the branches from the model on the UI thread, and move the
git work to a worker.
