What's Wrong?

Title: GitButler diff stat counts appear inflated/incorrect in status bar

Environment:

Claude Code CLI, GitButler integration (gitbutler/workspace branch)
OS: Windows 11
Repo: private C++/Qt project (details withheld for IP reasons)

Description:
The diff stat summary shown in the status bar/header (e.g. +2,285 −124) does not match the actual scope of changes made in the session. The discrepancy appears specific to GitButler's virtual branch/lane view.

What Should Happen?

Expected: Stat counts reflect only the actual lines changed in the current session/lane.
Actual: Stat counts appear significantly inflated.
