PR view shows “File renamed but contents unchanged” for a renamed binary file whose contents have changed, which is misleading.

      Issue Summary

      When a binary file is renamed, and its contents are changed in a Bitbucket Cloud pull request, the PR "Files changed" view incorrectly displays the message “File renamed but contents unchanged.” This is misleading, as the file contents have actually changed.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In a Bitbucket Cloud repository, create a pull request that replaces a binary file (e.g., a .zip file) with a new file of a different name and different contents.
        • Example:
          • Old: abc.zip
          • New: xyz.zip
      1. View the "Files changed" tab in the pull request.

      Expected Results

      The PR view should indicate that the file was renamed and that the binary contents have changed (or at least avoid stating “contents unchanged”).

      Actual Results

      The PR view shows:
      File renamed but contents unchanged

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
