  • Closes gh stack: print full URL to stdout when terminal doesn't support OSC8 hyperlinks #183

Prints out full PR URLs on terminals that don't support OSC 8 hyperlinks.

Supported terminals keep the existing hyperlink behavior with printing PR references. When detected terminal doesn't support, fall back to printing the full URL (#N (full URL)). This covers gh stack view --short and existing non-TUI status output. TUI and JSON output behavior remains unchanged.

Detection is conservative for tmux, screen, Apple Terminal, Konsole, non-TTY output, and unknown terminals.
A GH_STACK_HYPERLINKS env var is available to override the detection — 1 forces hyperlinks and 0 forces full URLs.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

Show full PR URLs in wt-stack status
04c297a 
Why?
====

Human status only shows a pull request number even though its URL is
already saved. Printing the URL makes PRs accessible in terminals,
redirected output, and logs without terminal hyperlink support.

Source: github/gh-stack#479

How?
====

Print each available URL below its branch, keeping old state without a
URL readable and leaving the JSON format unchanged. The module's mise
//apps/wt-stack:test and :lint passed. Status tests cover open and merged
PRs, missing URLs, and plain output without terminal escape sequences.
