Pull request overview
This PR fixes issue #8455 where users could filter PRs by title in the "checkout PR by number" picker, but selecting a PR from the filtered list would show an "Invalid pull request number or URL" error. The fix allows users to successfully select PRs from the list even when they've filtered by title, making the feature more ergonomic than manually entering PR numbers.
Changes:
- Modified validation logic to allow PR selection from the list even when the label text (which includes the title) doesn't parse as a valid PR number
- Restructured promise handling to load PRs in the background while showing the picker immediately, improving UX
- Adjusted the flow to handle both typed input and list selection
