Control Center vs Superset.
Superset and Control Center both manage parallel worktrees and have independent PR inboxes that review and merge PRs from connected repos, whether or not an agent opened them. Superset is an agent-focused workspace with vendor-relayed remote access; Control Center adds first-party tickets, dependent pipelines, meetings and calendar on a self-hosted control plane.

✓ yes · ≈ partial — hover or focus a ≈ for the reason · — not offered.
For PRs, ✓ means an inbox for any open PR in a linked repo, with review and merge in app; no agent chat or worktree is required. ≈ means the flow is workspace-bound, early-beta or otherwise narrower — not necessarily restricted to agent-created PRs.
