Research direction
Start at the My work PR-list entry point and trace how repositories are currently limited to those with sessions. Compare that data source with the GitHub-wide access used by notifications or the GitHub PR list. Done means My work includes the user's authored and review-requested PRs across accessible repositories without requiring a session.

Description
Summary
Expand "My work" to show pull requests from all repositories the user has access to.
Motivation
"My work" is close to being a great PR review dashboard, but it currently only surfaces PRs tied to repos where I've already started a session. For anyone working across many repositories, that means most of my open PRs never show up, and I have to go find them elsewhere.
If "My work" showed PRs across all of my repositories (based on GitHub permissions, same as notifications or the GitHub PR list), it would become a genuinely useful single place to track and review PRs, regardless of whether I've opened a Copilot session against that repo.
Proposed Solution
Source the PR list in "My work" from the user's GitHub-wide access (e.g. PRs authored by or requesting review from the user, across all repos they can see) instead of scoping it to repos with existing session history.
Alternatives Considered
A manual "add repos to My work" option, so users can opt specific repos in without a session, would be a smaller step in the same direction if full account-wide scoping isn't feasible.
