Problem

On the Pull requests page, closing the last open pull request left it listed as open under Authored until the app was restarted, even after Refresh. The detail panel showed it as Closed at the same time.

Reproduce: a workspace where one project cannot be read (here a GitHub repository on a server without gh or GH_TOKEN) plus a Forgejo project with exactly one open pull request. Close that pull request in Forgejo, then click Refresh. Expected: "No pull requests". Actual: the pull request stays under Authored.

Change

The page only re-reads its Authored and Review requested groups while the main list has rows. With no rows it falls back to the groups it last held, guarded by a "list is empty" check (baselineEmpty). That check also required the answer to carry no project errors. With one unreadable project, every answer carries that project's error, so an empty list never counted as empty and the stale group stayed on screen.

Project errors no longer stop an answer with no rows from counting as empty. The group reads cover the same projects, so they cannot hold rows either. The check moves to pullRequestListAnsweredEmpty in pullRequestList.logic.ts.

Scope and approval

A very small, focused fix for an obvious bug: a closed pull request shown as open until restart. It changes one condition in the web client. No contract, server or mobile change; mobile builds its groups from the rows themselves, so it is not affected. Desktop wraps web and gets the fix with it.

Verification

  • New test in pullRequestList.logic.test.ts (an answer with no rows and a project error counts as empty, and a pending one does not). It fails against the old condition (expected false to be true) and passes here.
  • Manual, same copied workspace on two dev servers (main and this branch): close homelab/home#16 in Forgejo, then click Refresh. On main it stays under "Authored 1" while its detail shows Closed. On this branch the list shows "No pull requests". The server trace confirmed Forgejo was re-read after each refresh and no longer returned Move pending approval derivation and thread visit tracking to shared session logic #16.
  • vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests, react compiler).
  • Not checked: Review requested group with the same setup (same code path), and remote/relay connections (no change to transport).

The Pull requests page only re-reads its Authored and Review requested
groups while the main list has rows, and falls back to the groups it last
held when it has none. The "list is empty" check also required the answer
to carry no project errors, so a workspace with one unreadable project (for
example a GitHub repository without `gh`) never counted as empty. Closing
the last open pull request then left it listed as open under Authored until
the app restarted.

Project errors no longer stop an answer with no rows from counting as empty:
the group reads cover the same projects, so they cannot hold rows either.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d725c09

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — An empty pull-request response now clears stale groups even when individual projects report errors. The change is limited to list presentation and retains pending-read and top-level-error safeguards.

- Line 458: Extend the page-level test for PullRequestsPage to cover a held
partition followed by an empty answer while a project error is present, and
assert that the stale group is cleared. A direct test of pullRequestGroups is
insufficient because it receives baselineEmpty as an already-computed boolean.

Walkthrough

The pull-request page now uses pullRequestListAnsweredEmpty to check whether the baseline list has completed with no entries. Tests cover pending state and a project-read error.

Changes: Baseline empty result check

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and use the answered-empty check
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestList.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestsPage.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestList.logic.test.ts
The helper returns true when data exists with no entries, the view is not pending, and the view has no error. The page uses the helper, and tests cover pending state and a project-read error.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d725c

Closing the last open pull request now clears it from the list even when another project in the workspace cannot be read. No concrete merge-blocking defect remains. A page-level test for this flow would add protection against future regressions.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at d725c0974e3227dc9b245e0b33df2e791f1cfc0c on a disposable Linux VM. reproduced first on github/main (f6503f0e71), then ran the exact PR head, with one dev server at a time. drove both apps using the repo's Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome.

created projects through the app pointing to real local git repositories. completed real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. used a real local Forgejo 14.0.2 server with tea 0.16.0, one authored PR, and a second project pointing to a missing repository. no mocked responses or fixtures.

with the page mounted, closed the local scenario PR externally and clicked Refresh. both servers returned entries: [] with the same missing-project error. main retained Authored 1 and the open row while its detail said Closed. this head cleared the row and rendered the empty filtered state. reopening externally and refreshing restored Authored 1; the Closed filter also correctly displayed the closed PR, and opening its detail still worked.

before, main after closing and refreshing:

main retains the stale authored row

after, same repository and filters on the PR head:

pr head clears the stale authored row

refresh clears the last authored row on the pr head

command and websocket transcript

blacksmith checks passed: 36 focused logic tests and vp run check:changed HEAD^ against the PR's parent, covering format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, focused tests, and React compiler. existing head CI is green. no source changes or pushes were needed.

Not verified

native iOS/Android, the Electron shell, macOS/Windows, remote/relay/tunnel connections, and the review-requested partition were not exercised on this Linux web setup. the real error was a missing Forgejo repository, rather than missing GitHub authentication; the client received the same per-project-error condition. other provider adapters were not exercised.
