Summary of Changes
Hello @austinamorusoyardstick, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the user experience by overhauling the help documentation within app/help.go. The changes focus on improving clarity, organization, and the descriptions of various functionalities, making the application more intuitive and user-friendly. It ensures that users can quickly understand and utilize both existing and newly introduced commands.
Highlights
- Documentation Restructuring: Headers across various help screens have been renamed and commands regrouped for improved logical flow and clarity, making it easier for users to find relevant information.
- New Command Exposure: Descriptions for several new commands (e.g.,
efor creating sessions from existing branches,bfor rebasing,g/Gfor git status,wfor opening in IDE,tfor running tests, andRfor reviewing PR comments) have been added, making users aware of new application capabilities. - Description Refinement: Existing command descriptions have been enhanced for better user understanding, clarifying their purpose and behavior, such as the
p(push branch) andc(checkout) commands. - Contextual Guidance: New contextual notes have been added to guide users, explaining session behavior after checkout and how to interact when attached to a tmux session, improving the overall user experience.
- Navigation and Interaction Updates: Key mappings and navigation descriptions have been adjusted for accuracy and consistency, including corrections for session navigation keys and clearer descriptions for scrolling and diff view interactions.

Pull Request Overview
This pull request updates the help documentation in app/help.go to improve clarity, organization, and functionality descriptions. The changes include reorganizing command sections with clearer headers, adding new command descriptions, and enhancing user guidance.
- Reorganized help sections with clearer headers (e.g., "Managing Sessions," "Git & Handoff," "IDE & Tools")
- Added descriptions for new commands including session creation from existing branches, IDE integration, and git operations
- Enhanced contextual notes and user guidance for better understanding of session behavior

The key mapping description has inconsistent ordering. It should be either "↑/↓, k/j" or "k/j, ↑/↓" to maintain consistency with standard vim-style navigation conventions where k=up and j=down.

Code Review
This pull request reorganizes and improves the help screens, making them more structured and informative. The new sections and command descriptions are a definite improvement. My review focuses on a few minor inaccuracies and a small alignment issue that were introduced in the process, to ensure the help text is as precise as possible for the end-user.

The alignment for this keybinding seems to be off compared to other entries in the same section. For consistency, could you adjust the spacing? Most other entries align the - character at the 11th column.

The updated description "Push branch to GitHub" is less precise than the original "Commit and push branch to github". The underlying action (keys.KeySubmit in app.go) appears to perform a commit before pushing. To avoid confusion for users with uncommitted changes, it would be better to mention the commit action as well.

The description for home/end has been updated to remove the "in diff view" context. However, looking at the implementation in app/app.go (lines 854-863), this command is specific to the diff view. Restoring this context would make the help screen more accurate for users.

Similar to home/end, the pgup/pgdn command only works within the diff view according to app/app.go (lines 864-873). Adding this context back to the help text would improve accuracy.

Code Review
This pull request significantly improves the user experience by overhauling the help screens, making them clearer, better organized, and more informative. The addition of a scrollable viewport for the help text is a great enhancement, especially with the new commands and detailed descriptions.
I've found one minor issue in the viewport height calculation which I've detailed in a comment. Otherwise, the changes are well-implemented and greatly improve the application's usability.
ui/overlay/textOverlay.go
Outdated

| // Border: 2 lines (top/bottom), padding: 2 lines, scroll info: 3 lines | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
There appears to be an off-by-one error in the viewport height calculation. The vertical space consumed by the overlay's chrome (borders, padding, and scroll indicator) is 6 lines, not 7.
Here's a breakdown of the vertical overhead:
- Borders (top/bottom): 2 lines
- Padding (top/bottom): 2 lines
- Scroll info (text + blank line separator): 2 lines
Total overhead = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 lines.
The current calculation t.height - 7 makes the viewport one line shorter than it could be. The comment on line 126 is also misleading. I suggest correcting the calculation and updating the comment for clarity.

Code Review
This pull request improves the user experience by enhancing help screens and making error messages more informative. The introduction of a scrollable help overlay is a great technical addition that allows for more detailed documentation. The code changes are well-structured and clear. I've identified one high-severity issue related to error handling where an underlying error is being lost, and a few medium-severity issues regarding the clarity of a command description in the help text. Addressing these will further improve the robustness and clarity of the application.

The new error message is more user-friendly. However, by replacing the original fmt.Errorf call, the underlying error err from git.GetCurrentPR is no longer wrapped. This means that if git.GetCurrentPR fails for a reason other than a PR not being found, the original error context will be lost from the logs, making debugging harder. It's good practice to preserve the original error for logging purposes while still providing a helpful message to the user.

The description for the 'p' key has been simplified from "Commit and push branch to github" to "Push branch to GitHub". While simpler, it's less accurate as the action also creates a commit. To avoid confusion, it would be better to mention both actions, similar to how the 'c' key's description ("Checkout: commit changes and pause session") is handled.

The description for the 'p' key here is "Push branch to GitHub". This is a bit imprecise as the action also creates a commit before pushing. For clarity and consistency, it would be better to mention the commit action as well.

Consider using a consistent padding width for all descriptions to ensure they are perfectly aligned. This will make the help screen easier to read and the code easier to maintain.

The logic for setting the overlay size based on current window dimensions is duplicated from app/app.go:219. Consider defining these ratios as constants and creating a single helper function within the home struct to calculate the overlay dimensions. This would centralize the logic and remove the magic numbers.

Code Review
This pull request significantly improves the user experience by updating and reorganizing the help documentation. The new command descriptions, better organization of help sections, and more informative messages are great additions. The refactoring of error messages into constants and the introduction of a resizable, scrollable overlay for help text are excellent for maintainability and usability.
The code is well-structured, and the changes are clear and purposeful. I have one minor suggestion regarding code formatting for consistency.

For consistency and readability, it's good practice to align the constant declarations in this block. Running gofmt would automatically handle this, ensuring the code adheres to standard Go formatting.
