What changed

Show Created alongside Updated in Inbox details when a valid creation timestamp is available. Fetch and preserve GitHub createdAt for pull requests and issues, and expose the exact creation time on hover.

Why

An item's last update does not indicate its age. Showing both dates avoids opening GitHub just to find when a PR or issue was created. Missing or invalid creation dates retain the existing Updated-only display.

Closes #230.

UI

The Created label uses the existing centered metadata row. List ordering is unchanged. Local mock data was used for desktop validation and is not included in this PR.

Validation

npm run check passed: 2,041 frontend tests, TypeScript, Rust formatting, Clippy with warnings denied, and 220 Rust tests. Added coverage for native timestamp serialization and displaying or omitting Created in Inbox details.

Checklist

  • I ran npm run check
  • This PR is small and focused
  • I did not mix unrelated changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Pull request details in the inbox now display a Created timestamp alongside the existing Updated timestamp.
    • Creation dates are shown when available, with the full timestamp available on hover for precise reference.
    • Items without a creation date continue to display only the available update information.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backend now carries GitHub creation timestamps through work item responses. The frontend renders an optional Created timestamp beside Updated in Inbox details. Tests cover timestamp propagation and conditional display.

Changes

Creation Timestamp Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend timestamp propagation
src-tauri/src/fs.rs
GitHub issue and pull request queries request createdAt. Parsing maps the timestamp into GitHubWorkItem and serialized frontend data. Tests cover both item types and query paths.
Inbox timestamp display
src/lib/githubTasks.ts, src/surfaces/InboxView.tsx, src/surfaces/InboxView.test.ts
GithubWorkItem accepts optional createdAt. Inbox details render Created only when a formatted timestamp is available. Tests cover presence and omission.

Invalid creation timestamps are currently suppressed, but that required behavior is not protected against regressions. Add the focused test case before relying on this display behavior.

44-53: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

This test covers valid and absent createdAt values, but not a nonempty invalid value. A regression that renders Created Invalid Date (or otherwise displays Created for an unparsable provider timestamp) would still pass despite the required invalid-timestamp behavior. Add an invalid createdAt fixture and assert that the Created label is absent.
