Surface: Claude Code desktop app on Windows 11 (not the claude.ai Claude Desktop chat app), repo opened over WSL2 (\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\...).

When a PR is created during a session, the app auto-attaches a chip above the composer (e.g. #114 themis-backend feature/deepseek-peak-pricing). After the PR is merged on GitHub, the chip's branch icon stays green (open) indefinitely — still green 5 hours after merge, across app restarts.

Hovering the chip shows the correct state: a purple Merged badge with the merge time. So the app has the right data; only the chip icon fails to reflect it.

There appears to be no way to refresh or re-add a chip manually — typing #114 or pasting the PR URL into the composer does not create one; chips are only auto-generated at PR-creation time. So once the icon is stale, the user has no recourse.

Reported as not reproducing on macOS, where the chip reportedly turns purple immediately after merge.

Repro: create a PR from a session → merge it on GitHub → observe the chip icon.
