Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** General

I asked it to update a PR and it pushed to a completely new branch off the PR and argued with me until I gave it the target PR branch name explicitly

Research direction

Begin at the /chat entry point and reproduce the request on Windows 10.0.26200 with app version 1.0.10, checking how an existing PR branch is selected. Done means an update request pushes to the target PR branch rather than creating a new branch; the issue names no file or test to run.
