Description

When using `gh stack submit` on a repository cloned from a **fork**, the command attempts to query and submit the stack against the upstream parent repository instead of the fork (or specified default repository).

Since the feature branches only exist on the fork (`origin`), GitHub's GraphQL API rejects the PR creation because the branches do not exist on the target upstream repository, resulting in `Head sha can't be blank` / `Base sha can't be blank`.

Executing `gh repo set-default /` does not alter this behavior.

### Environment
- **OS:** Windows 11 (Git Bash / MINGW64)
- **`gh` version:** `gh version 2.100.0 (2026-09-03)`
- **`gh stack` extension version:** `github/gh-stack v0.1.1`

### Repository Setup
- **origin:** [https://github.com/Hakzai/pokerpulsepro-tauri.git](https://github.com/Hakzai/pokerpulsepro-tauri.git) (Fork)
- **upstream:** [https://github.com/davidelvar/pokerpulsepro-tauri.git](https://github.com/davidelvar/pokerpulsepro-tauri.git) (Parent Repo)
- `gh repo set-default` is explicitly set to `Hakzai/pokerpulsepro-tauri`.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Clone a fork repository that has an `upstream` remote configured.
2. Create stacked branches locally and push them to `origin`:
a. `main` -> `feature/branch-1` -> `feature/branch-2`
3. Set the default repository using `gh repo set-default Hakzai/pokerpulsepro-tauri`.
4. Run `gh stack submit`.

### Expected Behavior
`gh stack submit` should resolve stacked PRs against the configured default repository (`Hakzai/pokerpulsepro-tauri`) or provide cross-repository fork support by specifying the head branch owner/ref.

### Actual Behavior
The command targets `davidelvar/pokerpulsepro-tauri` and fails with:

```log
⚠ failed to create PR for feature/add-brazil-real-currency: creating PR: GraphQL: Head sha can't be blank, Base sha can't be blank, No commits between main and feature/add-brazil-real-currency, Head ref must be a branch (createPullRequest)
```

#### Debug Output (`GH_DEBUG=1 gh stack submit`)
Relevant log excerpts showing API requests targeting the upstream repo instead of the fork:

```log
* Request to https://api.github.com/repos/davidelvar/pokerpulsepro-tauri/stacks?per_page=100&page=1
...
[git.exe push origin --force-with-lease=refs/heads/feature/add-brazil-real-currency:... refs/heads/feature/add-brazil-real-currency:refs/heads/feature/add-brazil-real-currency]
* Request to https://api.github.com/graphql
⚠ failed to create PR for feature/add-brazil-real-currency: creating PR: GraphQL: Head sha can't be blank, Base sha can't be blank, No commits between main and feature/add-brazil-real-currency, Head ref must be a branch (createPullRequest)
```

#### Git Config
Git config is pointing correctly the upstream to `davidelvar/pokerpulsepro-tauri` and the origin to the fork at `Hakzai/pokerpulsepro-tauri`.

Piste de recherche

Commencez par le point d’entrée `gh stack submit` et suivez la résolution du dépôt, notamment `gh-stack.remote` et le dépôt par défaut configuré, jusqu’à l’appel GraphQL `createPullRequest`. Reproduisez le problème avec la configuration du fork et `GH_DEBUG=1`. Le travail est considéré comme terminé lorsque la création de PR empilées cible le fork ou prend explicitement en charge le dépôt head prévu, sans les erreurs de SHA vide.
