Web UI hides subsequent PRs to the same repo from one session

Repro

  1. In a single Claude Code web session, open PR #N to repository R on a branch B1.
  2. Later in the same session (after the first PR has merged or while it is still open), open PR #M to the same repository R on a different branch B2.
  3. Look at the session's PR/branch summary panel in the right-hand UI.

Expected

Both PR #N and PR #M surface in the panel — each with its own branch name, status chip (CI / Merged / Open), and "View PR" button.

Actual

Only PR #N is shown. PR #M (and any later same-repo PRs) is invisible from the panel. The user can only find it by re-reading the chat transcript or by navigating to GitHub manually.

PRs to different repositories surface fine in parallel (a vade-coo-memory PR and a vade-agent-logs PR both showed up correctly in the same session). The dedup happens at the per-repo level.

Worked example

A session today (run-2026-05-11) opened three PRs on vade-app/vade-coo-memory:

Only vade-app/vade-coo-memory#683 surfaced in the panel. The user did not see vade-app/vade-coo-memory#690 waiting and the PR sat unmerged for a while — they only found it after re-reading chat.

Why it matters

Multi-PR session arcs are a common shape: ship a feature in one PR, then file a follow-up fix or a housekeeping PR (retrospective, session log) in the same repo while the first is still in flight or already merged. Silently dropping the follow-ups from the panel means the user can miss:

  • Unmerged work waiting on a manual merge.
  • CI failures on the hidden PR.
  • Review comments needing a response.

The user reading only the panel sees a clean "done" state when work is actually still in flight.

Possible fix shapes

  • Show every PR opened in the session, keyed by (repo, branch) rather than just repo.
  • If panel real estate is the constraint, collapse same-repo PRs under a single repo entry with a count badge ("vade-coo-memory · 3 PRs") and expand on click.
