Syncing Main Branch

Use only after explicit invocation. Operate on the current repository and preserve the branch, commits, and files being left.

Workflow

1. Inspect tracked and untracked state, branch, and HEAD:

git status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=all
git status --short --branch
git symbolic-ref --quiet --short HEAD

Stop on any local change; do not stash, commit, discard, or carry it automatically. If HEAD is detached, record it and inspect containing refs. Stop until an otherwise reflog-only commit is preserved with a user-chosen branch or tag.
