Phase 1: Inspect only - Report repo name, current branch, working tree status, uncommitted changes, local branches, tracking status, ahead/behind status, stale branches, and branches whose upstream no longer exists. - Fetch remotes safely and identify stale remote-tracking refs that can be pruned. - Do not modify anything yet. Phase 2: Summarize - Summarize per repo: - uncommitted work needing a decision - safe cleanup candidates - recommended actions Rules - Do not discard code, stash, reset, delete branches, or push without my approval. - Do not touch protected branches: main, master, develop, dev, release, production. - Never delete the current branch. After I approve: - prune stale remote-tracking refs - delete only safe local branches that are already merged and no longer have an upstream - refresh main branches using fetch + fast-forward only

A submodule in Git is a pointer to a specific commit of another repository. It allows you to include that repository as a part of your main project without merging its content directly into your repository. ...
