`wt switch pr:xx` on a fork does not look at the default repo

Diagnostic Log

Description

As of v0.35, worktrunk now provides a more helpful message when a PR is not found, suggesting that the user set the default for the repository. However, even if this default is set, worktrunk will not actually make use of it. The logs suggest that worktrunk identifies the potential issue when it cannot find the PR, but doesn't check the default repo after that.

Thanks for reporting this! I was able to reproduce the issue and identified the root cause: fetch_pr_info only queried the primary remote (origin) for the PR, ignoring the gh repo set-default configuration entirely — the hint in the error message was misleading.

I've opened #2004 with a fix. wt switch pr:N now checks gh repo set-default --view first and uses that repo for the API call, falling back to the primary remote when no default is set. A maintainer will review it shortly.
