Problem

GitLab merge requests show no line counts. GitHub rows show +X −Y in the pull request list and on the detail page, but GitLab's REST responses don't include additions or deletions, so GitLab rows and detail pages left them blank.

Change

• Line counts now come from GitLab GraphQL's diffStatsSummary. One request covers up to 100 merge requests in a project, and up to 4 requests run at a time. If a request fails, it logs a warning and only its own rows go without counts.
• GitLab now implements listChangeRequestStats, so the list fills in counts after the rows load. GitHub already works this way.
• The detail page reads the counts alongside the merge request. If that read fails, the page loads without counts.
• To keep the extra request off reads that don't need it, GitLab now has its own hover-card read (getChangeRequestPreview) and linked-thread read (getChangeRequestSummary). Both skip the project merge-settings call they never used. Linked threads still get the counts, so they make the same number of calls as before. Hover cards make one call instead of two.
• GitLab now implements getFileStats, so the code vs tests vs generated breakdown (feat(web): show how much of a PR is code vs tests, mocks, and generated files #22189) shows for merge requests too. GraphQL diffStats returns the per-file counts in one read. If GitLab lists fewer files than its summary's fileCount (it stops listing past its diff limits), the result is marked truncated and no breakdown is shown, rather than one that leaves out lines. Both GraphQL reads share one helper.
• Rate limits, auth failures, and a missing glab still reach the caller from the count reads, matching the rule fix(gitlab): show authentication and rate-limit errors from activity reads #18817 set for the other optional reads.
• On mobile, the list only asked for counts on GitHub rows. That check is gone, so GitLab rows get counts there too. Mobile also no longer asks again for rows that already have an answer, matching web. The server already skips hosts that can't provide them, and web never had the check.

Scope and approval

One problem: the GitLab provider leaves out line-count data that the provider interface already defines and every client already renders. GitHub provides it through the same optional provider methods (listChangeRequestStats, getFileStats). This PR makes GitLab do the same, so GitLab merge requests get no new behavior that GitHub pull requests don't already have.

• No new UI, settings, contracts or RPCs. The web and mobile code that shows the counts and the breakdown is unchanged. The only client change is mobile's provider filter, which decided which rows could ask for counts at all.
• The totals and the per-file breakdown are the same data: line counts that GitLab's REST API doesn't return, read from GraphQL instead. The breakdown is the per-file version of the same diff stats and uses the same GraphQL helper.
• The hover-card and linked-thread reads were added so the extra count request doesn't make those paths slower than before.

There is no prior issue. This qualifies as a focused fix for an obvious defect: on GitLab, the counts that GitHub shows are just missing. I can open an issue for triage if maintainers prefer.

Verification

• Ran the GraphQL query against a self-managed GitLab instance and got correct counts (e.g. +592 −85 for one merge request).
• In the web app on that instance, the list row and the detail page for one merge request both show +25 −25 (screenshots below).
• Ran both GraphQL reads against the same instance and passed the responses through the new decoders. The per-file counts for one merge request add up to its +25 −25 total.
• Added focused tests in packages/source-control-gitlab: batching into requests of 100 per project with one failed request not wiping the other results, the detail and linked-thread reads filling in counts, the linked-thread read skipping merge settings, an auth failure on the count read failing the detail, and a short file list being marked truncated. The touched test files pass (84 tests), and typecheck passes for the GitLab package, the server, and mobile.
• Not checked: gitlab.com, since my credentials only cover a self-managed instance, and the mobile app in a running client.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 4f5cf6b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused GitLab data-completeness fix that adds batched GraphQL line-count reads to the existing pull-request stats flow. The new reads are bounded and gracefully fall back to the prior behavior when unavailable, with coverage for batching and failure cases.

Merge Risk: Low · up to cae88

GitLab merge requests can still be listed, but a failed line-count request may appear simply as missing counts. The change is mergeable with that limitation explicitly accepted or followed up.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 19960

The read-only line-count queries have limited scope and bounded concurrency. Their failure path sends complete error objects to logs, however, and the resulting diagnostic exposure is not fully established.

Retained concerns

• Low · security · inferred: The new batch-failure fallback passes complete error objects, including underlying causes, to logging instead of bounded diagnostic attributes. This creates a potential export path for provider or process diagnostic data. Sensitive-data emission remains unverified because retained cause contents and deployed logger behavior are not fully established.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The intended new data scope is line-count metadata for requested merge requests on an existing GitLab host, using the existing account context. Four-request concurrency is per invocation, not a deployment-wide limit. The inspected path does not demonstrate increased privileges or cross-host access; runtime host/token binding remains unverified.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A decoding failure reaches the new warning through GitLabMergeRequestReadError.cause. This supports the diagnostic-boundary concern, but not a verified payload or credential disclosure. Schema input retention is optional, deployed log serialization is unresolved, and no ordinary merge-request-author path to malformed response fields was established. The supplied security candidate remains deferred.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Repository and IID values enter a fixed GraphQL document through JSON variables sent on stdin, not query-text or command-argument interpolation. Typed authentication failures retain their existing provider mapping. Classification of authorization failures expressed only in a GraphQL response body remains unresolved; omission of optional counts does not itself grant access.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The fixed read-error message and bounded shared formatter are useful diagnostic controls, but the new warning does not use the formatter. Ordinary process-exit errors retain stderr length and truncation metadata rather than stderr content, limiting that failure channel's exposure.

🟡 Minor · Limit stats lookup to providers with a stats implementation. · usePullRequestList.ts:210-223

apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/usePullRequestList.ts:210-223
🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit stats lookup to providers with a stats implementation.

Rows from Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Forgejo, and GitCafe can reach this selector, but those providers do not implement listChangeRequestStats. The server skips those references and returns no stat. The row remains unanswered, so scrolling to a different visible batch can include it in a new stats request again. This causes repeated work without producing counts.

Keep GitLab eligible while restoring the provider guard:

Suggested fix

         .filter(
           (row) =>
             row.environmentId === environmentId &&
+            (row.provider === "github" || row.provider === "gitlab") &&
             row.additions + row.deletions === 0 &&
             !answered?.has(statKey(row)),
         )

🟡 Minor · Preserve fatal provider errors in listStats. · GitLabPullRequestCli.ts:1071-1093

packages/source-control-gitlab/src/server/GitLabPullRequestCli.ts:1071-1093
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve fatal provider errors in listStats.

GitLabPullRequestProvider propagates authentication, rate-limit, and missing-tool errors so callers can report or handle them. listStatsUncached currently converts every provider error into { stats: [] }, so these failures are silently hidden from the WebSocket caller. Recover only ordinary statistics failures at this boundary.

+          Effect.catchIf(
+            (error) =>
+              error._tag === "PullRequestOperationError" &&
+              isPullRequestProviderError(error.cause) &&
+              (error.cause.reason === "failed" || error.cause.reason === "not-found"),
+            () => Effect.succeed<ReadonlyArray<PullRequestDiffStat>>([]),

@coderabbitai On "Preserve fatal provider errors in listStats": not changing this in this PR.

• The orElseSucceed is in PullRequestService.listStatsUncached. It's shared code that was already on main and covers GitHub too; this PR doesn't touch it.
• Stats are only requested for rows the same host's listing already returned. An auth, rate-limit or missing-glab failure is reported by that listing. The GitLab CLI and provider in this PR pass those errors through, following fix(gitlab): show authentication and rate-limit errors from activity reads #18817.
• The recovery is per host group. If one host's failure failed the whole listStats call, rows from every other host would lose counts they did get.

Changing what listStats reports would also change GitHub's behavior and the RPC the clients use. That belongs in its own PR, if anywhere.

thanks @TonybynMp4. the batched GraphQL summaries and per-file truncation handling preserve the right data and avoid one request per list row.

i updated your existing branch and kept your commits:

• merged current main and resolved the provider, CLI and mobile conflicts.
• removed the mobile changes because main already requests GitLab stats, and kept main's preview read. the final diff touches only six GitLab files.
• removed duplicate stats recovery, kept the bounded batch fallback and fatal provider errors, and restored the tracing convention on the file-stats method.
• added three cases in the existing CLI test file for missing CLI, authentication and rate-limit failures.

verification:

• two existing count regressions fail against main with 0 instead of 40.
• all 134 GitLab tests pass through blacksmith-check.
• vp run check:changed passes format, lint, knip, ten affected package typechecks (including server, web, desktop and mobile), and 105 related tests.
• real public GitLab MR gitlab-org/cli!4218 shows +45 -12 in the running web client. the summary and file-stat responses decode successfully; its five files sum to the same totals.
• unverified: authenticated list/activity, private or self-managed GitLab, native mobile runtime, and the rendered per-file breakdown (later reads hit GitLab's rate limit). this VM has no GitLab credentials, and device access is disabled. no client code changed relative to main.

ci: build/typecheck, unit tests and all server shards passed. lint is blocked by main's unused useLayoutEffect import in apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadComposer.tsx:34 (log); i reproduced it with blacksmith-check on the file identical to main. web CI also failed in unchanged AttachmentFilePreview.browser.test.tsx:499 (log). the aggregate Check reflects these failures. these unrelated files are untouched. the automated review check passed with no new findings; two independent code reviewers approved cae88809f730d72193227a51474e6bc00b7db283 with no findings.
