Goal

Add desktop panels for PR checks and review comments/threads.

Why this matters

GitHub Desktop still sends users to GitHub web for PR comments and reviews. Nexgit's desktop app should make checks and review state visible locally.

Command/API target

Call github.pr.checks and github.pr.reviewThreads through the typed preload/app-server path.

Depends on

Out of scope

  • Do not implement replying, resolving, rerunning checks, or merging.
  • Do not build a full code diff viewer.
  • Do not call GitHub directly from renderer code.

Definition of done

  • Desktop shows check names, states, and links where available.
  • Desktop shows review thread/comment summaries with path, author, body excerpt, and resolved state where available.
  • Permission and unavailable-data states are visible.

Verification

  • pnpm desktop:typecheck
  • pnpm desktop:build
  • Run pnpm desktop:dev and include screenshots or concise manual observations.
