Summary

Fixed issue where blank spaces at the end of query strings in GitHub Issues view configuration produce different results.

Changes

• Modified src/issues/stateManager.ts: Added .trim() to query string after variable substitution (line 332)
• Added test in src/test/issues/stateManager.test.ts: Verifies queries with trailing whitespace are properly trimmed

A blank space at the end of a query string returns different results.

Blank space at end

Remove the blank space, now I get an issue from another repository (the "Product Feedbac...") issue.

Fixed in commit 7720203. The mock repository was missing the remotes property that parseRepositoryRemotes() expects when iterating over repository.state.remotes.
