* Add `gh stack trunk` navigation command
Add a new navigation command that checks out the trunk branch of the
current stack.
The command is stack-aware: it requires the user to be on a branch that
is part of a stack, loads the stack metadata, and checks out `s.Trunk.Branch`.
If the user is already on the trunk branch, it prints a message and exits
without calling git checkout.
New files:
- cmd/trunk.go: TrunkCmd (cobra command) + runTrunk implementation
- cmd/trunk_test.go: 7 test cases covering happy path, already on
trunk, from top of stack, not in a stack, checkout failure, custom
trunk branch name, and positional argument rejection
Modified files:
- cmd/root.go: register TrunkCmd in the "nav" command group
- README.md: add `gh stack trunk` to the Navigation section
- docs/src/content/docs/reference/cli.md: add `gh stack trunk`
reference section
* address review comments
* increment skill version
* add insert branch operation to modify TUI
Add `i` (insert below) and `I` (insert above) key bindings to the
interactive modify view, allowing users to insert new empty branches
into an existing stack. This follows Vim-inspired semantics where
lowercase `i` inserts below the cursor and uppercase `I` inserts above.
## TUI behavior
When the user presses `i` or `I`, the TUI enters an insert input mode
(similar to rename mode) where they type a new branch name. The input
is validated against git ref naming rules, local branch uniqueness, and
in-stack name collisions. On confirm, a placeholder node is inserted at
the correct position in the branch list with a green "✚ insert"
annotation badge and green connector styling.
Insert is a structure operation — it works alongside fold, rename, and
drop, but is mutually exclusive with reorder (consistent with existing
mode exclusivity rules). Undo (`z`) removes the inserted node cleanly.
## Apply engine
At apply time (Step 2 in the pipeline, between renames and folds), the
engine creates the new git branch at the parent branch's tip via
`git.CreateBranch` and inserts a `BranchRef` into the stack metadata at
the correct position. If the insertion changes the base of a branch
that has an open PR, `affectsPRs` is set to trigger a required
`gh stack submit` afterward.
## Header shortcut updates
- Combined the fold shortcuts into a single line: `d/u - fold down/up`
- Added insert shortcuts on their own line: `i/I - insert below/above`
- Reordered fold references throughout to list "down" before "up" for
consistency with the insert shortcut ordering
## Files changed
- types.go: ActionInsertBelow/ActionInsertAbove types, IsInserted field,
InsertedBranches in ApplyResult
- model.go: key bindings, insert input mode, undo, mode exclusivity,
annotation, styling, header shortcuts, effective-index tracking to
prevent false reorder detection when inserts shift node positions
- styles.go: green insert badge/branch/connector styles
- status.go: insert counting in pending change summary
- help.go: new "Insert below / above" section, reordered fold heading
- apply.go: BuildPlan and ApplyPlan handle insert actions
- modify.go: updated command description and success summary
- README.md: updated keybindings table
## Test coverage
- 16 new TUI tests: insert below/above, top/bottom edges, undo, mode
exclusivity, merged branch guard, cancel/empty input, duplicate name
validation, pending summary counting, annotation rendering, mixed
operations with drop/fold, apply acceptance
- 4 new apply tests: BuildPlan produces correct insert actions,
ApplyPlan creates branches and updates stack metadata, insert at
stack start uses trunk as parent, affectsPRs triggered when inserting
before a branch with an open PR
* update add error msg to direct users to modify for inserting branches
* docs updates
* fix insert branch bugs in modify TUI
Fix three bugs with the insert branch feature in the modify TUI, and
adjust rename behavior on inserted nodes.
## Bug 1: False "moved" annotations on existing branches
After inserting a branch, all branches below the insertion point
displayed "↕ moved 1 layer down" annotations. This happened because
`nodeAnnotation` and `toNodeData` compared each node's
`OriginalPosition` against its raw array index, which gets shifted
when an inserted node is added to the slice.
Fix: introduce an `effectiveIdx` parameter that counts only
non-inserted nodes, so position comparisons reflect the original
ordering. The View loop computes effective indices by incrementing
only for non-inserted nodes and passes them to the rendering
functions.
## Bug 2: Header branch count inflated by staged inserts
The branch count in the header ("N branches") included inserted
placeholder nodes, making it appear as though the stack had grown
before changes were applied.
Fix: `buildHeaderConfig` now excludes `IsInserted` nodes from the
branch count. The count reflects only the original branches in the
stack.
## Bug 3: Operations allowed on inserted placeholder nodes
Inserted nodes could be folded into other branches, which makes no
sense for a placeholder with no commits. Additionally, the "last
branch" guard counted inserted nodes as active, allowing users to
drop all original branches and bypass the empty-stack check.
Fix:
- `fold()` rejects inserted nodes with a descriptive error message.
- `toggleDrop()` on an inserted node removes it entirely and pops
the original insert action from the undo stack (clean cancellation
rather than a separate undo entry).
- All three "active branch" guards (`toggleDrop`, `fold`, `tryApply`)
now exclude `IsInserted` nodes, ensuring at least one original
branch always remains in the stack.
## Rename on inserted branches
Instead of blocking renames on inserted nodes, pressing `r` now
enters rename mode and updates the insert action's name in place.
The node's `Ref.Branch` and `PendingAction.NewName` are both updated
directly — no separate rename action is created in the undo stack.
This lets users fix a typo without having to drop and re-insert.
## Tests added
- `TestInsertDoesNotShowMovedAnnotation` — verifies no false move
annotations appear on existing branches after an insert
- `TestBranchCountExcludesInserts` — verifies header count stays
stable after insert
- `TestCannotFoldInsertedBranch` — verifies fold is blocked
- `TestCannotRenameInsertedBranch` — verifies rename updates the
insert name in place
- `TestDropInsertedBranchRemovesIt` — verifies drop removes the node
- `TestDropInsertedBranchCanBeUndone` — verifies drop pops the
original insert from the undo stack
- `TestCannotDropAllOriginalBranchesWithInsert` — verifies the
empty-stack guard excludes inserted nodes
* ensure cannot fold into an inserted branch
* rm dead code
* delete inserted branches during abort
* Add --committer-date-is-author-date flag to gh stack rebase
Introduce an opt-in `--committer-date-is-author-date` flag (with
`--preserve-dates` alias) for `gh stack rebase`. The flag is passed
through to every underlying `git rebase` invocation in the cascade,
keeping committer dates equal to author dates so that identical content
rebased onto an identical parent produces stable SHAs. This reduces
spurious force-push notifications and noisy review timelines, especially
in deep stacks where bottom branches get re-rebased on every merge.
Git layer changes:
- Add `RebaseOpts` struct with `CommitterDateIsAuthorDate` field to
`internal/git/gitops.go`
- Update `Ops` interface, `defaultOps`, public wrappers, and
`rebaseContinueOnce`/`tryAutoResolveRebase` helpers to accept and
forward the flag
- Update `MockOps` to match the new signatures
Command layer changes:
- Register `--committer-date-is-author-date` and `--preserve-dates`
flags on the cobra command in `cmd/rebase.go`
- Add `CommitterDateIsAuthorDate` to `cascadeRebaseOpts` and thread it
to all `git.Rebase`/`git.RebaseOnto` calls in `cmd/utils.go`
- Persist the flag in `rebaseState` JSON so `--continue` resumes with
the same behavior; pass it to `RebaseContinue` and subsequent cascade
calls
- Update `internal/modify/apply.go` callers to pass zero-value
`RebaseOpts{}`
Tests:
- Update all existing mock signatures in rebase, sync, and modify tests
- Add tests for flag passthrough, `--preserve-dates` alias, state
round-trip, `--continue` flag restoration, and conflict state
persistence
Docs:
- Update flag tables and examples in README.md and
docs/src/content/docs/reference/cli.md

* Fix 4 bugs from code review
Bug 1: Move RevParseMap error check before using originalRefs.
The error from git.RevParseMap() was deferred past iteration of
originalRefs, which could panic on a nil map.
Bug 2: Differentiate cherry-pick vs rebase conflicts in modify.
Cherry-pick conflicts don't save state as 'conflict' phase, so
--continue won't work. Now prints --abort-only instructions for
cherry-pick conflicts.
Bug 3: Unwind now cleans up branches created by renames.
After restoring snapshot branches, Unwind deletes renamed branch
names that don't belong to the original snapshot.
Bug 4: Simplify push message in submit command.
Changed from 'Pushing N branches to remote...' to 'Pushing to
remote...' since individual branches may fail.

* Fix 7 nit issues from code review
11: Add named constants for phase strings (PhaseApplying, PhaseConflict,
PhasePendingSubmit) in state.go; replace remaining raw literals in
state.go CheckStateGuard.
14: Fix bottomLines comment mismatch — listed 3 items but value is 2.
15: Extract magic number 88 to MinWidthForArt constant in header.go.
16: Remove unused stackview import anchor in model.go — the import
is used via types.go where BranchNode is embedded.
17: Simplify CheckStackLinearity parent resolution — ActiveBaseBranch
already handles skipping merged branches.
18: Fix rename undo matching any rename — add NewName check so only
the specific rename being undone is matched.
20: Add TestUndoRename and TestUndoRename_DoesNotAffectOtherRenames
to validate rename undo behavior.

* Make cherry-pick conflicts recoverable via --continue
Previously, cherry-pick conflicts during fold-down operations could only
be resolved with --abort. Now they save full conflict state (phase,
conflict type, fold branch/target, remaining branches) to the state file,
enabling recovery via 'gh stack modify --continue'.
Changes:
- Add ConflictType field to StateFile (rebase or cherry_pick)
- Add FoldBranch/FoldTarget fields for cherry-pick context
- Add CherryPickContinue to git package (cherry-pick --continue)
- Save cherry-pick conflict state in ApplyPlan with remaining branches
- ContinueApply handles both rebase and cherry-pick conflicts
- Unified conflict messaging in cmd/modify.go (both types show --continue)
- Updated test to verify cherry-pick conflict state is saved correctly
