…m the same query Removes the parallel `getDefaultBranch()` call and the `buildRepoUrl()` helper. The default branch and `nameWithOwner` are now fetched in the same GraphQL query that already retrieves the PRs' base refs, eliminating the second HTTP request and the DOM-based repo lookup.

Refs #9167
Per @fregante's suggestion in #9167, this is a small refactor that prepares the feature for follow-up work without changing its scope or behavior:
getDefaultBranch()call. The default branch is now fetched asdefaultBranchRef { name }inside the samerepository()query that already gets the PRs' base refs, so each batch makes one HTTP request instead of two.buildRepoUrl()helper call. The base-branch tree URL is now built fromnameWithOwnerreturned by the same query, dropping the DOM-based repo lookup.No user-visible change. The feature still only runs on per-repo issue/PR lists. A follow-up PR will extend it to the global PR/issue list now that each batch is self-contained and doesn't depend on the current page's repo.
