Home view recents should show branch activity dates and sort by most recent activity #5034

Description

@eamodio

Summary

The Home view's "recents" section should display branch activity dates (committed, accessed, modified) and sort branches by the most recent activity rather than just the last commit date.

Impact

Users who frequently switch between branches benefit from seeing the most relevant activity — whether that's when they last modified, accessed, or committed on a branch. Sorting by the most recent activity surfaces the branches users are actually working with.

Validation

  • Open the Home view and check the "recents" section
  • Verify branches are sorted by most recent activity (commit, access, or modification)
  • Hover over the date to see a tooltip with all activity dates (Committed, Accessed, Modified)
  • Verify the displayed label reflects the most recent activity type (e.g., "Modified 2 hours ago")
  • Change defaultDateFormat setting and confirm the tooltip uses the configured format

Risk

  • The timestamps property replaces the previous timestamp on GetOverviewBranch, which could affect consumers of this protocol if not fully updated
  • Adding gkConfig to the repository change event listener could trigger additional refreshes
