Git Commit and Push

Commit staged git changes with a well-formed message and push to the remote branch. When nothing is staged, intelligently stage relevant unstaged changes before committing.

CRITICAL: Secret scanning (step 1) is a hard gate. No commit may proceed unless it passes. This check overrides everything else in this workflow.

CRITICAL: Never push an entire checkpoint branch. Checkpoint branches (e.g. branches named checkpoint/*, cp/*, or any branch explicitly described as a checkpoint) exist as save points only. Pushing them to remote is forbidden. If the current branch is a checkpoint branch, stop and tell the user.

This is the most important step. Run it before any staging, analysis, or commit work.

Scan all changes (staged and unstaged) for accidentally committed secrets:
