msd-core/tests/bug-2916-handle-branching-default-base.test.cjs

/**
 * Regression test for #2916: execute-phase `handle_branching` step creates the
 * per-phase branch off whatever HEAD is currently checked out (typically the
 * previous phase's unmerged branch) instead of off `origin/HEAD`.
 *
 * The bug compounded phases on top of each other and stranded them unpushed
 * for weeks. The fix:
 *   1. Detect the default branch via `git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`.
 *   2. If $BRANCH_NAME exists, switch to it (preserve existing behavior).
 *   3. Otherwise, ff-update the default branch from origin and create the new
 *      phase branch off the default-branch tip.
 *   4. Refuse-or-warn on dirty working tree.
 *   5. Post-creation, assert `git rev-list --count $DEFAULT_BRANCH..HEAD == 0`.
 *
 * This test extracts the bash payload from the <step name="handle_branching">
 * block in execute-phase.md (parsed structurally — no regex on prose), executes
 * it inside a fixture git repo where HEAD sits on a previous-phase branch with
 * extra commits, and asserts that the new phase branch's tip equals
 * `origin/main` (no commits inherited from the previous phase).
