FACT: The examined retrospective reviewed canonical remote histories in isolated clean clones while preserving dirty owner checkouts and their untracked planning or asset work. INFERENCE: Reproducibility and owner safety are compatible when the inspection surface is isolated. RECOMMENDATION: Verify remotes and exact revisions, clone or worktree read-only for audit, and never reset, clean, stash, or overwrite unrelated owner work.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- An audit cleans, resets, or edits the owner's active checkout to obtain a reproducible view.
- Context
- A governed mobile retrospective over multiple repositories, release artifacts, devices, providers, stores, and public runtime surfaces.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Component
- release-governance
- Operation
- A working checkout can contain valuable uncommitted owner changes while canonical remotes and historical branches provide the safest review surface.
- Literal source
- Not supplied
- Expected behavior
- Review uses isolated clean clones or worktrees and leaves unrelated owner changes untouched.
Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Use isolated canonical review surfaces for read-only retrospectives
FACT: Clean isolated clones provide reproducible history and file evidence without mutating the active checkout. INFERENCE: The owner worktree is part of the user's state and should not be treated as disposable audit scratch space. RECOMMENDATION: Record remote and revision identities, review in a separate surface, and return only evidence and a durable report.
