Owner

Problem

fj pr create requires --title plus a body, retyping what the commits already contain. gh pr create --fill / --fill-first automate it.

Acceptance criteria

--fill: title from the branch's commit subjects, body from their messages (single commit -> its subject + body; multiple -> a list of subjects).
--fill-first: title and body from the first commit only.
Derived purely from git log <base>..<head>; no new API call.
Explicit --title / --body / -F override the filled values.
Clear error when there are no commits between base and head.

Value

Removes the most common create friction; one-command PRs in scripts and interactive use.

Priority

p1 (high value, low risk, client-side only).

Dependencies / sequencing

None. Shares the create body-resolution path with #172; build this first.

Overlap

Shares body-population plumbing with #172 (create --template). Distinct features, not a merge; sequence #165 then #172.
