Topic	any	any	`PENDING_REVIEW`	Always auto-accepted → `null`
Git	ON	ON	`PENDING_SYNC`	Already committed to source PR branch at open. Source PR merge triggers file sync → `null`
Git-backed	ON	OFF	`PENDING_SYNC`	Sync PR was already opened at PR open. Resolves to `null` when that sync PR merges.
Git-backed	OFF	ON	`PENDING_REVIEW` (edge case)	Auto-accepted → `PENDING_SYNC`. Source PR now merged, so `commit_to_trigger_pr` always falls back to new sync PR off default branch.
Git-backed	OFF	OFF	`PENDING_REVIEW`	No change — stays in Review queue. User has to manually accept then it will be in pending sync and create sync PR -> on merge sync PR -> null
