Changes

• The #openPullRequest tool recognizes open PR diffs and PR files as being the "open pull request".
• All Copilot PR notifications can be marked as ready using the right-click context menu on the Copilot section header in the Pull Requests view.
• The setting githubIssues.issueAvatarDisplay can be used to control whether the first assignee's avatar or the author's avatar is shown in the Issues view.
• Instead of always running the pull request queries that back the Pull Requests view when refreshing, we now check to see if there are new PRs in the repo before running the queries. This should reduce API usage when there are no new PRs.

Changes

• There's a new code action "Delegate to coding agent" which shows on TODO comments. The "to do" keywords are configurable using the existing setting ``.

• More of the new Copilot coding agent user entry points prompt for sign in if you aren't already signed in to GitHub (GitHub Copilot Coding Agent view in Chat Sessions, #copilotCodingAgent tool, "Delegate to coding agent" button).
• Some of the individual extension views used the same icon, making it difficult to distinguish between them if you drag them into their own view container. To solve this, several views use a new icon: "Pull Requests" uses github-inverted, "Active Pull Request" tree view uses diff-multiple, "Active Pull Request" webview view uses code-review.
• The "sidebar" content (reviewers, assignees, labels, etc.) in the pull request description webview have always moved above the pull request body when the webview width is narrow. Now, it also collapses into a compact, readonly view, which can be expanded to make modifications.

• Pull request and issue webviews restore after reload.
• The new #openPullRequest tool in Copilot Chat lets you reference the pull request currently open in a webview. The #activePullRequest tool continues to reference the pull request currently checked out.
• The "Edit Query" command in the "Pull Requests" view has an option to edit the query with Copilot.
• Setting "githubPullRequests.ignoreSubmodules": true will cause the extension to ignore submodules when looking for pull requests.
• In the "Issues" view, you can right click on an issue and "Assign to Coding Agent".

• In GH PR review page, headers have redundant url content. #7509
