feat(web): watch a pull request from its detail menu - #17224
The pull request detail page has no watch control. Its ⋯ menu can link the pull request to the current thread or unlink it, but it cannot start or stop a watch. The only place to start a watch is the row menu in the Linked pull requests panel, so the user has to leave the detail page. The thread details card can stop a watch but cannot start one.
Change
The detail page menu shows a watch item directly below "Unlink from this thread". The item reads "Watch for changes" with EyeIcon, or "Stop watching" with EyeOffIcon when a watch is active. These labels and icons match the Linked pull requests panel.
The item appears only when three things are true. The pull request is linked to the current thread. Its linked snapshot is open. The environment reports threadPullRequestWatch. These are the same checks the panel uses, and the watch state comes from the same link.watch field on the thread's pull request link.
The item sends the existing threadEnvironment.watchPullRequest command with the same input as the panel. The change is limited to PullRequestThreadLinks, which already draws the Link and Unlink item for this menu. Server and contracts do not change.
An unlinked pull request does not show the item, and opening the menu does not link it. Linking stays a separate action, because a watch wakes the agent in one specific thread.
Scope and approval
This adds a new place to use an existing feature, the pull request watch from #15057. It does not add new behavior. Users can already watch from the Linked pull requests panel, and agents can watch through the watch_pull_request MCP tool. This adds the same command to the page where users read the pull request. Related history: #16235 added the stop-only eye button on the thread details card. #16226 tried the hover card and was closed as the wrong surface.
Verification
vp lint apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestThreadLinks.tsx passed with no findings.
tsc --noEmit in apps/web passed.
No test was added. The display condition is one inline lookup on the thread's pull request links, and a unit test would only repeat that lookup.
In a local dev server, I opened the detail page for a linked open pull request. I chose "Watch for changes", and the reopened menu showed "Stop watching". I chose "Stop watching", and the menu showed "Watch for changes" again.
I checked the other surfaces. Keybindings have no per-pull-request actions besides copy, and the command palette has no per-pull-request actions. Mobile has no manual watch control today, so this change does not affect it.

Walkthrough
When thread watching is supported, the current thread menu can offer an action to watch or stop watching an eligible pull-request link. The action sends the thread ID, normalized pull-request key, and requested watch state.
Changes: Pull request thread watching
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Detect eligible links and add watch toggle apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestThreadLinks.tsx
Checks the watch capability and visible pull-request link state. Adds a menu action that starts or stops watching the matching pull request for the current thread.
A failed watch or stop-watching action may leave the state unchanged without telling the user. Add visible failure feedback; the remaining risk is bounded.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🔵 Low · up to 9be92
The menu reuses the existing watch feature and targets an eligible pull request linked to the current thread. No new security weakness was verified. Confidence is limited by incomplete verification of authorization at command entry and legacy capability combinations.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The added menu constructs mutations for one matching link in the current thread, using the same scope and command payload as the existing panel. No broader mutation scope was identified in this caller; this does not establish the maximum scope available through direct command ingress.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Watch ownership and mutation remain server-side. Existing controls reject deleted threads and disallowed watch starts on archived, settled, or subagent threads. A request without the optional link payload cannot create a missing link; a missing matching link produces no watch mutation. These controls predate this PR.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The existing reducer makes repeated same-state requests idempotent. Asynchronous synchronization checks the watch's startedAt generation before mutation and wake dispatch, preventing stale reads from restoring stopped or replaced watches. Unlinking removes watch state, and reactor cleanup remains independent of the new menu.

Explanation
The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the behavior, implementation, checks, manual verification, screenshots, and recording. However, the Scope and approval section does not provide explicit maintainer approval for this additional watch surface, and the stated review context says that approval remains pending.
Resolution
Add a link to explicit maintainer approval and include the approval comment. If the change qualifies for an approval exemption, explain why it is a focused configuration of an established capability and why its effects remain within that capability.

Could a maintainer confirm whether the PR detail menu is an approved additional watch surface? The diff reuses the existing watch command, and the three screenshots show the proposed menu states. However, the PR says watching already works in the Linked pull requests panel, while #16226 was declined as the wrong surface. Neither that decision nor the stop-only thread-card change establishes approval for this new location.
Leaving this open pending that scope decision under prior approval. Please link any approval and add a short recording of watch/stop and the resulting state, as required when interaction details need verification.
The pull request detail menu offered Link and Unlink but no way to watch,
so starting a watch meant going back to the linked pull requests panel.
When the pull request is open and linked to the current thread, the menu
now shows Watch for changes or Stop watching, using the same command and
link state as the panel.

Taking over this one. I’ll reduce the tests to the useful coverage, update the implementation against current main, and verify it before publishing the changes.

Show watch command failures in the menu.
watch reports failures through the console, not through a user-visible notification. The menu ignores the returned result, so a failed request can leave the watch state unchanged without feedback.
Handle the failure like changeLink: disable automatic failure reporting, await the result, and show an error toast. This is a localized user-facing issue, so classify it as minor rather than major.
