Summary

Once PR review is modeled cleanly, forge can generalize review subjects beyond PRs and eventually support arbitrary git refs. This should stay deferred until the PR review workflow and review session model are solid.

Goals

extend review subjects beyond PRs
allow branches and commits to launch the same underlying review engine
leave room for more general git-ref review later
reuse the same session, file index, and navigation model

Candidate subjects

branch review against a default-base heuristic
commit review against the selected commit's parent
later: explicit or arbitrary git-ref/range review where it makes sense

Notes

This is intentionally deferred. PR review should define the workflow first; branch/commit/ref review can follow once the model is proven.

Consolidates #80.
Part of #63.
