GitDesktop Files

Changed

• The MCP list_pull_request_comments tool and the AI PR review now emit leaner comment payloads, omitting always-empty default fields (avatar URL, state, permalink, minimized flags, and review id) from each comment and review thread — the same JSON both consumers read, so agent runs and reviews spend fewer tokens on empty fields.
• Remote (HTTP) MCP servers now surface the same allowed-hosts affordance as custom AI provider URLs: the add/edit dialog shows an advisory note under a URL whose host isn't on your AI allowlist, with a one-click Allow host, and the MCP servers list flags such a server with a host not allowed badge. It's advisory only — nothing is blocked or disabled, and existing servers keep working — a reminder that the CLI connects to that host outside GitDesktop's AI host allowlist.
• Merging a pull request in the app now kicks off a background fetch (with prune) right after the merge succeeds, so branches, ahead/behind counts, and history reflect the merge immediately instead of staying stale until you click Fetch. On a merge that deletes the head branch, the prune also drops the now-stale remote-tracking ref.

Fixed

• The blame view now announces as a structured list to screen readers, so each line is read as an item with its position (line 12 of 340) instead of an unstructured run of text.
• History commit avatars now fall back to a GitHub author's real avatar instead of their initials when their commit email isn't a GitHub no-reply and has no Gravatar — resolved in a batch from the recent-commits window for GitHub repos.
• Jira project admins can now edit and delete other people's worklogs and comments from the issue view — GitDesktop previously only offered those actions on your own entries, even when your Jira role held the project-wide edit/delete permissions.
• MCP servers scoped to "this repo" — and the per-repo On/Optional/Off overrides of global servers — are now shared across the repo's worktrees, so a server you scoped or tuned in one checkout is offered in its sibling worktrees too. Existing entries keep working and migrate to the shared key the next time you edit them.
• The merge-method menu on a GitHub pull request now respects the repository's own merge settings: a method disabled in the repo (allow merge commit / squash / rebase) is shown greyed out as "disabled in repository settings" instead of failing with a raw error only after you open the confirm dialog and click Merge. When no method is enabled by both the repository settings and your branch rules, the Merge button is disabled with an explanation.
• The GitHub Pages Enforce HTTPS toggle is now disabled while a custom domain's TLS certificate is still being issued, with a note explaining why — so you no longer see a raw GitHub error when you flip it too early. It also calls out when certificate provisioning has failed so you can fix the domain's DNS.
• The repository filter list (welcome screen and repo switcher) now exposes its keyboard highlight to screen readers as a proper combobox/listbox, announcing the focused repository as you arrow through the results.
• Empty gd-review-* worktree folders no longer leak into the temp directory: the review-worktree cleanup now retries the folder delete past a transient Windows file-handle race, and any leftover empty husks are swept on startup.
• The repository list's owner, provider, and visibility/fork badges are now shared across a repo's worktrees: a probe from any checkout updates every entry for the same underlying repository, so sibling worktrees no longer show divergent grouping or badges.
