What it does

Audits, preserves, recovers, and safely retires local Git state: unpushed or wrong-branch commits, dirty or detached worktrees, forgotten duplicate clones of the same repo, untracked work no bundle can back up, orphaned stashes, dangling commits, stale branches, and squash/rebase merge uncertainty. Use when the user fears work was lost; asks to recover a commit or branch; asks whether a worktree, clone, or scratch directory can be deleted; wants everything converged onto one main branch; or needs proof that cleanup will not drop work. Use it even after an audit reported clean — the usual gap is scope: every in-repo command is blind to a second clone elsewhere on disk. Triggers on "did I lose work", "is everything merged", "is anything else lost", "safe to delete this clone", "clean up old branches/stashes", "only keep one main branch", "git reflog", "dangling commits", "分支灾难", "误删分支/commit", "worktree 能删吗", "还有没有丢的东西", "只保留一个主分支". Covers local-Git forensics, not GitHub PR/API operations or routine sync.
