When navigating files in history mode with ]f/[f, reaching the boundary of a commit now automatically expands the adjacent commit: - navigate_next at last file → expands next commit, selects first file - navigate_prev at first file → expands previous commit, selects last file - wrap-around supported (last commit → first, first → last) Implementation uses shared helpers to reduce code duplication: - collect_commit_files: recursively collects files (handles tree mode) - find_current_position: locates commit/file indices for boundary detection - update_cursor: updates history panel cursor position Store load_commit_files on history object for access in navigation functions, enabling async commit expansion with callback pattern.

The idea is good, and currently we indeed can't automatically expand the commit and open files in it, but I might need to take some time to look at the PR and evaluate it |

Why?
When browsing repository history with
:CodeDiff history, reaching the last file in a commit and pressing]fwraps back to the first file of the same commit. This creates friction when reviewing changes across multiple commits.What?
Auto-expand commits when navigating across commit boundaries:
]f): At last file → expands next commit, selects its first file[f): At first file → expands previous commit, selects its last fileImplementation uses shared helpers:
collect_commit_files: Recursively collects files (handles tree mode with nested directories)find_current_position: Locates commit/file indices for boundary detectionupdate_cursor: Updates history panel cursor positionNotes
