fix(statusline): layered base branch detection#70
Merged
Conversation
…ain/master
Replace the hardcoded main/master check with a 4-tier fallback chain:
1. Branch reflog ("Created from <branch>") for explicit base
2. HEAD reflog ("moving from X to <branch>") for implicit base
3. GitHub PR base branch via gh CLI (cached 5-min TTL)
4. main/master existence check (previous behavior)
This fixes incorrect diff stats for branches created off develop,
staging, or other non-default branches.
