Smart GitHub URL Input
Use this when a textbox currently accepts a bare PR/Issue number but users commonly paste GitHub URLs.
Pattern
- Parse a bare positive integer first.
- If that fails, call
GitHubLinkService.TryParseIssueOrPrUrl.
- If a URL was parsed, match
Owner/Repo against the current form's configured remote map using StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase.
- Auto-select the matching remote and show
🔀 Switched remote to <remote> (<owner>/<repo>).
- If no remote matches, hard-error:
❌ This URL points to <owner>/<repo>, which is not a configured remote.
- Validate and persist using the URL-indicated type (
/pull/ → pr, /issues/ → issue).
- In dual-panel dialogs, do not auto-flip radio buttons. Keep UI state stable, but route validation/creation by the validated URL type.
Parser rules
Accept https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/(issues|pull)/<positive-number> and scheme-less github.com/..., including trailing slash, query, fragment, and surrounding whitespace. Reject http://, non-github.com hosts, pulls, extra path segments, and non-positive numbers.
