Only delete branches that are also 0 commits ahead of main

chore v2.16.4 June 22, 2026 Claude e760861

Details

Add a third deletion condition to the cleanup workflow: in addition to
(a) has a closed PR and (b) has no open PR, a branch must also be
(c) 0 commits ahead of the default branch — i.e. every commit on it is
already contained in main.
This guarantees no unmerged work is ever discarded: a branch whose PR was
closed without merging, or that was squash/rebase-merged and then had new
commits pushed, would still carry commits not in main and is now preserved
(reported under "commits not in main"). Branches that fail the compare call
are also preserved to be safe.
Implemented via repos.compareCommitsWithBasehead(main...branch) and
checking ahead_by === 0. CLAUDE.md branch-hygiene note updated to match.
