guardStaleTerminal

guardStaleTerminal(git, owns): GitState

Defined in: src/pr-poller.ts:26

gh pr list --head <branch> matches by branch NAME only and --state all includes history, so a prior, already-merged PR that reused this branch name surfaces as a terminal hit even though the session opened no PR. Trust a merged/closed PR only when its head commit is reachable from the session’s branch tip (owns(headSha) — true/false/null when unknowable); otherwise it’s a name collision, so drop it to “none” rather than flip the row to a false MERGED. Open PRs are the inherently-current one and pass through untouched. Pure + shared so the background poller and the on-demand GET endpoint guard identically — the list overview and GitRail can’t disagree.

Parameters
