Summary
This PR refactors the core backup logic to use a pure git reference namespace (
refs/heads/wip/pulsar/...) instead of relying on a local "zombie" branch. This eliminates the need for the daemon to create or switch branches in the user's working directory, ensuringgit statusremains clean and preventing "detached HEAD" states during backup operations.Changes
constants.py): ReplacedBACKUP_BRANCHwithBACKUP_NAMESPACEto reflect that we are writing to a ref hierarchy, not a check-out-able branch.ops.py): Updatedget_backup_refand synchronization logic (finalize_work,sync_session) to construct references dynamically based on the current machine ID and active branch.cli.py): - Removedsetup_repologic that forced the creation/checkout ofwip/pulsar.status,diff, andlistcommands to resolve backup refs dynamically via a helper, fixing DRY violations.daemon.py): Updated the shadow commit logic to write directly to the namespaced ref without interacting with the working tree's HEAD.BACKUP_NAMESPACEconstant.Fixes
