Description
“Create from PR” is using `origin/main`, not the tracked `upstream/main`. In my clone, `origin` points to my fork and is **294 commits behind** (because the fork's main is unused), so the diff's are crazy.

Research direction
Start in the desktop app's “Create from PR” flow and reproduce the issue with a fork whose origin/main is behind tracked upstream/main. Trace which remote and base branch provide the diff; the work is done when the flow uses upstream/main and produces the expected PR diff in this setup.
