Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in the GitHub app at /chat using a local branch and the “Commit changes” action. Compare the current “Save uncommitted changes” wording with the requested commit flow, and consider the work complete when the UI lets the user request a better commit message instead of only saving uncommitted changes.
