Git panel Push status out of sync with repository even after triggering Fetch from Zed

[brokenthorn]

Reproduction steps

1. Start Zed
2. Make changes in AI agent or otherwise
3. Open Git panel
4. Make visual note of Push button text
5. From AI agent or CLI do a manual commit
6. Push button in Zed should say "↑ 1 Push"
7. Push from AI agent or CLI (alternative that still triggers is to have this step integrated in step 6)
8. Note Push button still says "↑ 1 Push"
9. Click caret on Push button and select Fetch
10. Push button stays the same
11. Run git status from CLI, note that there's no unpushed commits
12. Push button still says the same
13. Closing and reopening Git panel or switching sidebar panels doesn't fix it

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current behavior: Push button shows 1 unpushed commit and is enabled for clicking and can be clicked to trigger a push that effectively pushes nothing

Expected behavior: Push button would always remain in sync with actual git status (with a respectable delay, such as 5s), and triggering Fetch sooner (repro step 9) should immediately update the button status if not already in sync.

Additional recent context for triagers

Possibly related open issues:

• Git status markers don't update immediately when performing git actions from within a terminal #60102 — Both issues describe Zed's git UI failing to reflect the true repository state after external git operations. Git status markers don't update immediately when performing git actions from within a terminal #60102 reports uncommitted change markers persisting after a CLI commit; the new issue reports the Push button count persisting after a CLI push. Both note that Zed eventually syncs but not promptly, and both involve git state changes made outside Zed's UI. The specific UI element differs (file markers vs. push count), but the root cause — Zed not polling/refreshing upstream tracking info after external git operations — may be shared.
  • Possible shared root cause: Git status in Zed's UI not refreshing when git operations are performed outside Zed (via CLI/terminal)
