feat(changes): discover git repos in non-git root folder - #585
Conversation
When a workspace root is not itself a git repository, scan its immediate child directories for git repos and show their changes in the Changes panel. This closes the gap where opening a parent folder containing multiple repos showed no changes. Closes #584 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughNon-Git workspace directories now expand to their immediate child Git repositories. Change grouping and repository status scanning process those repositories. Existing repositories and directories without child repositories remain unchanged. ChangesNested repository discovery
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change discovers immediate child repositories so their changes appear in the Changes panel. On large workspace directories, canceled status scans may continue probing child folders and delay UI recovery; the missing-directory test also needs a deterministic error-path fixture. Resolve these before merging. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Line 579: Make expandNonGitDirs context-aware and pass the
scanRepositoryStatus ctx through its call sites; replace
context.Background()-based git.IsRepo and child-repository discovery with
git.IsRepoContext and the available context-aware discovery helper so
cancellation stops child probing promptly.
In `@internal/git/git_test.go`:
- Around line 1124-1126: Update TestDiscoverChildReposNonexistentDir to create
the missing path beneath t.TempDir(), ensuring the tested directory does not
exist when DiscoverChildRepos is called. Preserve the assertion that
DiscoverChildRepos returns nil for the nonexistent directory.

Pass the scan context through expandNonGitDirs and DiscoverChildRepos so that a canceled status scan stops probing child directories promptly. Also use t.TempDir()-based path in the nonexistent-dir test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
