What issue are you seeing?

When using the 'Work Locally' feature on a repo, the Codex UI will associate it with a PR in my workspace that is not correct.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  • Create a branch called main-something
  • Create a PR for this to go into main
  • I assume you dont have to merge it
  • Start a new Work locally on that same repo where your default branch is main

You will see the UI shows there is a PR relevant becasue it seems to be doing starts with matching on the PR from branch.

What is the expected behavior?

No PR should be showing.
