Pull request overview
This PR refactors workspace persistence and UX to reduce cross-workspace state contamination, adds explicit scope identity (local vs repository) in stored records, and removes the PR “disconnect” state/action in favor of a simplified PR context model.
Changes:
- Reworked Workspaces drawer flow (Initialize/New workspace actions, scope-aware filtering, and updated copy).
- Introduced transaction/load guards and scope markers to prevent stale/late saves and identity mixing across workspace switches.
- Simplified PR context state machine by removing
disconnected(with backward-compatible normalization toinactive) and updated sync/submit flows to persist workspace metadata at explicit commit points.
