Recover a repo without making the blast radius worse.

Core Rules

1. Snapshot first. Do not "just try stuff."
2. Prefer non-destructive fixes before force operations.
3. Treat .git/ as production data until backup is taken.
4. Use git symbolic-ref before manually editing .git/HEAD.
5. After each fix, run verification before proceeding.
