Description

The code change view in the Copilot GUI app is lacking.

This is especially true for documentation changes like .md files and mermaid files. We schould be able to get a preview of these kinds of file instead of just the changes.

Alternatly for a quick temporary fix, add a link to the GH PR Proper, so we can open the PR in Github from the GUI

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Copilot GUI app's code change view and inspect how pull-request changes are displayed. Done means the view can preview Markdown and Mermaid changes, or provides a link to open the pull request in GitHub.
