Problem

origin carries two leftover feature branches:

  • thumbnail-helpers — fully merged into main, nothing unique on it.
  • fix-readme-and-priority-items — carries one merge commit not reachable from main.

Both predate the current workflow. They clutter the branch list and make it ambiguous which
branches represent live work.

Definition of done

  1. thumbnail-helpers is deleted from origin (verified merged first).
  2. fix-readme-and-priority-items is inspected; if its unique commit contributes nothing that
    is not already on main, it is deleted, otherwise the difference is described in a comment
    on this issue before anything is deleted.
  3. git branch -r on a fresh clone shows only origin/main plus any branch belonging to an
    open PR.

Notes

Do not delete anything that is the head of an open pull request. Verify with the PR list
first. No code changes; nothing to test beyond confirming main is unaffected.

Delete Branch "%!s()"

Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
