The command palette gains "New thread from GitHub issue…": it lists the current project's open issues via the `gh` CLI, and picking one opens a new thread draft with the issue's title, body, and comments attached as an `<issue_context>` block shown as a removable composer chip. Nothing is sent automatically — the user writes and sends the prompt themselves. Server-side, `GitHubCli` gains `listIssues`/`getIssue` with schema-decoded `gh issue` JSON, surfaced through the source-control provider interface and two new RPCs. Other providers report issues as unsupported. When `gh` is missing or logged out, the picker's empty state explains what to fix.

The desktop update tooltip flattens the release body into plain bullet lines, so the structured nightly highlights (`## Nightly highlights`, `### Added`, …) rendered their headings as list items and wasted 3 of the tooltip's 8 item slots. This PR makes the generated changelog and the tooltip work together, and leans harder into the LLM pipeline while keeping attribution. ## Changes - **Nightly highlights are a flat list** of plain items with compact PR references that survive the tooltip's markup stripping (`#61` for fork PRs, `t3code#123` for upstream, short SHAs for direct commits). Removals are phrased as "Remove …" via prompt guidance instead of a section label. - **Attribution is structural:** summary items are now `{ text, evidenceIds }` objects. The model only returns evidence IDs; URLs are rendered deterministically and IDs are validated against the collected evidence, so references can't be fabricated. The rolling fork-features issue gets the same per-item references. - **Extraction sees diffs:** each commit contributes a truncated patch (4 KB cap, lockfiles excluded) so descriptions are grounded in what actually changed rather than paraphrasing PR titles. Over the 160k-char prompt budget, the largest diffs are dropped first — titles and PR bodies never are. - **`## What's Changed` stays** as the exhaustive record and now credits contributors once per PR (`by @username`, fetched via `gh api` with graceful fallback). - **The tooltip parser stops at `## What's Changed`** when curated highlights precede it, so raw commit lines no longer mix with highlight lines. Bodies that open with the commit list (upstream-style, or a nightly with no highlights) still show it. ## Pipeline example Evidence in (abridged; one upstream commit from the delta below): ```jsonc { "id": "pingdotgg#5756", "title": "fix(web): usage page loses the cost quality panel, gains a back button", "description": "<sanitized PR body>", "files": ["apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx", "…"], "diff": "--- a/apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx\n+import { useCanGoBack, useNavigate, useRouter } from \"@tanstack/react-router\";\n…" } ``` Summary items out (actual output — note one PR correctly yielding both an improvement and a removal): ```json { "text": "Return from Usage through history or to home", "evidenceIds": ["pingdotgg#5756"] } { "text": "Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page", "evidenceIds": ["pingdotgg#5756"] } ``` Rendered in the release body: ```markdown - Return from Usage through history or to home ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756)) - Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756)) ``` ## Regenerated release notes for `v0.0.33-nightly.20260809.121` Rerunning the new generator against the existing release's refs produced 13 items (the published release had 5, plus 3 heading lines). What the tooltip shows, via the actual parser: ``` • Identify sidebar threads with unsent drafts (#23) • Show subagent activity counts in right-panel controls (t3code#5745) • Return from Usage through history or to home (t3code#5756) • Give agents access to pasted image files (t3code#5757) • Manage projects from the dedicated Settings page (t3code#5768) • Preserve selected diff view across panel closures and reloads (t3code#5731) • Show pointer cursors for clickable controls and actions (t3code#5716) • Resume Claude sessions without falsely completing skipped turns (t3code#5710) ``` <details> <summary>Full regenerated nightly highlights</summary> - Identify sidebar threads with unsent drafts ([#23](#23)) - Show subagent activity counts in right-panel controls ([t3code#5745](pingdotgg#5745)) - Return from Usage through history or to home ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756)) - Give agents access to pasted image files ([t3code#5757](pingdotgg#5757)) - Manage projects from the dedicated Settings page ([t3code#5768](pingdotgg#5768)) - Preserve selected diff view across panel closures and reloads ([t3code#5731](pingdotgg#5731)) - Show pointer cursors for clickable controls and actions ([t3code#5716](pingdotgg#5716)) - Resume Claude sessions without falsely completing skipped turns ([t3code#5710](pingdotgg#5710)) - Stop the active Codex turn before queued follow-ups ([t3code#5762](pingdotgg#5762)) - Keep pinned thread ordering stable while saving changes ([t3code#5767](pingdotgg#5767)) - Show multi-device usage progress while totals load ([t3code#5772](pingdotgg#5772)) - Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756)) - Remove the limited project settings modal ([t3code#5768](pingdotgg#5768)) </details> <details> <summary>Regenerated rolling fork-features summary (excerpt, for issue #43)</summary> ## Added - Identify yngatech builds through names, icons, palettes, and About details ([#3](#3), [#27](#27), [#29](#29), [#30](#30), [#56](#56)) - Choose and preview sounds for completed agent turns ([#5](#5), [#7](#7), [#19](#19)) - Detect GitHub outages and show status in the sidebar ([#14](#14)) - Show unsent thread drafts with sidebar pencil indicators ([#23](#23)) - Start new threads with GitHub issues as context ([#31](#31)) - Open thread pull or merge requests from command palette ([#46](#46)) - Synchronize existing-thread text and composer settings across connected devices ([#39](#39), [#44](#44)) ## Improved - Inspect full commands, labeled streams, numeric exit codes, and failures ([#11](#11), [#4](#4), [#36](#36)) - Close terminals directly from the grouped terminal list ([#22](#22)) - Show clearer snooze countdowns near hour and day boundaries ([#45](#45)) - Show setup script outcomes in the thread timeline ([#40](#40)) - Install yngatech alongside upstream T3 Code on Windows ([#49](#49)) </details> ## Rollout The generator and workflow changes take effect on the next nightly. The tooltip parser change ships inside the app, so currently installed builds still show the mixed list until users update onto a build containing it. --------- Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Adds an issue-to-thread flow: a New thread from GitHub issue… command in the command palette lists the current project's open issues (via the
ghCLI, with empty states for gh-not-installed / not-authenticated / no-open-issues) and, on selection, opens a new draft with the full issue — title, body, author, URL, and comments — attached as an<issue_context>block, shown as a removable chip in the composer.The issue payload is persisted inline in the draft store so it survives reload without re-hitting
gh, and is appended to the outgoing prompt on send, mirroring the existing terminal/element context blocks. Server-side this extends the source-control provider surface withlistIssues/getIssue(GitHub only; other providers report unsupported) plus contracts and RPC wiring.Verified live in the web app against this repo's real issue #18, including reload persistence; new unit tests cover
ghJSON decoding, context serialization/truncation, and draft-store persistence/hydration.Screenshots
