Discussion #32148

Summary

• I added an optional Changes comparison setting under Settings → Diffs & pull requests on web and desktop. The default, All changes, including local work, keeps today's behavior, and mobile is unchanged.
• With Current PR or committed branch, Changes shows only the checked-out branch's open PR, opening its Code tab, or the committed branch diff when there is no open PR. Staged, unstaged, and untracked work stays available under Uncommitted.
• Committed totals, files loaded on expand, and expanded file contents all read the same commit, even if HEAD moves between reads.

Testing

• On 1329494fd5, check:changed 6577c6b618 --concurrency 2 passed in WSL: 453 tests, including 8 Chromium tests, plus all other phases.
• 125 focused tests also passed during development.
• Windows: nine failures in tests unchanged from the base and missing Chromium; all non-test phases passed.
• Not tested: installed desktop or mobile builds.

Screenshots

Synthetic repository and conversation in an isolated web preview; totals come from real Git reads. The branch has 4 committed lines and 10,004 local lines.
