When gh stack checkout runs without a target, it now checks whether the current branch is not part of a local stack but belongs to an active stack on GitHub. If found, it offers to check out that stack locally.

The lookup remains best-effort: network failures, no or multiple matches, and declined confirmation fall through to the existing picker. Fully merged stacks are ignored, Ctrl+C still aborts, and non-interactive behavior is unchanged.
