Problem

Pull request links in threads opened the pull request at the top, even when the URL pointed to a comment, review, diff line, checks page, or commit. On mobile, these links also did not navigate to their referenced location.

Change

Parse pull request URL paths and anchors to open the matching tab and reveal the referenced comment, diff file and line range, checks, or commit. Web and mobile now handle /checks and /commits links, including commit-specific links. The link is treated as a one-time navigation request, so reopening the panel does not repeat the jump. If the linked comment is missing from cached activity, the web panel refreshes activity before giving up.

Scope and approval

This is a focused fix for an obvious navigation bug. A user clicking a pull request link with a target expects the app to open that target.

Verification

vp run check:changed passed, including format, lint, typecheck, and the selected tests. Focused tests cover anchor parsing, panel state, web Timeline and Code tabs, and mobile diff focus and navigation. The change was not checked in a live web or mobile client.

Model: Claude Opus 5.5. Harness: T3 Code.

…they name

Clicking a pull request link with a fragment or a tab path opened the PR
at the top. The panel now follows the link: comment and review anchors
scroll to the item in Timeline, diff anchors open Code at the file and
line range, /files and /changes open Code, /commits/<sha> opens Code at
that commit, /commits opens Timeline, and /checks opens Summary with
Checks expanded. Mobile follows the same links.

The link reaches the panel as a one-shot revealUrl, cleared once it is
shown and never persisted or restored, so reopening a tab or reloading
does not jump again. A comment missing from cached activity triggers one
host refresh before giving up. The target is marked, focused, and held
in place while content around it loads, until the user scrolls. Only the
tab's scroller moves.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — PR links now reveal their named targets across web and mobile. New lint-suppression directives require human review; the unresolved deleted-file line-positioning finding also remains subject to the correctness gate.

Walkthrough

Pull-request URLs now carry parsed anchors through web and mobile navigation. The applications use these anchors to select tabs, locate comments or files, reveal diff line ranges, and track when web reveal requests are complete.

Changes: Pull-request link navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse anchors and resolve review comments
packages/shared/src/pullRequestAnchor.ts, packages/shared/src/pullRequestAnchor.test.ts, packages/shared/package.json, packages/contracts/src/pullRequest.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/*
Shared utilities parse tabs, comment anchors, diff paths and ranges, and commit IDs. GitHub review-thread data includes the associated review URL. Tests cover supported URL forms and review-anchor resolution.
Route and track web link reveals
apps/web/src/lib/openPullRequestLink.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestsPage.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestDetailPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/rightPanelStore.ts, apps/web/src/routes/_chat.pull-requests.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/RightPanelSurfaceContent.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/usePullRequestListView.ts, related tests
Web navigation passes recognized links to the pull-request panel. The panel selects a tab and tracks reveal requests in the right-panel store until the matching request settles.
Reveal summary, timeline, and linked subjects
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestSummaryTab.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestTimelineTab.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/holdLinkedNodeInView.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDetail.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestLinkPreview.tsx, related tests
Summary and timeline tabs find linked targets, reveal them in view, and report when targets are shown. Timeline rows and review threads open when they contain a matching anchor. Link previews can show comment or commit details.
Reveal linked diff files and ranges
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.tsx, apps/web/src/components/diffs/useCodeViewFileReveal.ts, related browser tests
The code tab matches diff-path digests, loads pages while a target file is unavailable, and reveals selected ranges after the viewer renders the target.
Route mobile links to targets
apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/*, apps/mobile/src/lib/pullRequestNavigation.ts, apps/mobile/src/native/useOpenPullRequest.ts, navigation and diff-focus tests
Mobile navigation passes linked URLs and IDs to pull-request routes. The routes select matching activity or files, open checks or discussions, and focus diff ranges across old and new sides.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

…eens

- A diff-line link clicked before the Code tab first loaded unfolded the
  file but stayed at its top: the viewer remounts during that load and
  dropped the scroll. The range is now positioned once more on the next
  render.
- A heading or #issue link reopens a collapsed Description before
  scrolling to it.
- The /pull-requests selectedUrl only counts when it names the selected
  pull request.
- Mobile: /checks scrolls Overview back to the checks; a file opened
  from Overview or a commit from Activity no longer follows an earlier
  diff link; a revealed comment is positioned once per link, so later
  filter or refresh changes keep the user's scroll; dragging a
  discussion cancels its pending scroll to the linked reply.

…iew comments and commits

- A link to a review with no text of its own now lands on the comment
  it posted. GitHub review-thread comments carry their review's URL
  (optional `reviewUrl`), and a shared helper resolves the review anchor.
- A changed-line link to an unchanged line of a patch-only diff expands
  the file through the viewer's own expander, which loads its contents,
  then positions the line. A reveal survives the viewer remounting for
  the same diff.
- Hovering a comment or commit link on web and desktop shows that
  comment or commit instead of the pull request summary; other links
  keep the pull request card.
- Mobile marks the linked comment and reply, and holds the linked
  comment under the app bar while the rows above it measure in.

🟠 High diffs/useCodeViewFileReveal.ts:107

For a deleted-file patch, a range reveal never reaches scrollTo, so links to deleted lines remain unpositioned. additionLine maps the old-side line into the empty addition range, causing expandPartialDiffToLine to set loadingFile; deleted files are not hydrated, so every later flush returns at the loadingFile check. Skip expansion for deleted files or otherwise non-hydratable diffs.
