Description
What issue are you seeing?
A bug occurs whenever a task has been cancelled. Future tasks in that conversation become unable to submit their changes to the open PR
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Start a conversation for a feature request, press the "Create PR" button
- (Optional) Make additional changes to validate the "Update branch" button works
- Send another message in the chat, then cancel before completion
- Follow up with another message and let the change complete
- The PR button will remain "Get PR" instead of switching to "Update Branch"
What is the expected behavior?
Resuming from an interrupted task should still allow updates to be made to the active PR.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Cloud/Web conversation flow: create a PR, cancel a later task, then complete another task and inspect the PR action. Trace how cancellation affects the active PR state; done means a completed follow-up task changes the action to "Update Branch" and can submit changes to the active PR.
