detached-head

branch

HEAD detached at main~2, worktree clean

Description

HEAD is detached at `main~2`. The `main` branch still exists at
its original tip — only HEAD has moved off it.

Useful for testing:
  - detached-HEAD banners / warnings in TUIs
  - "make this a branch?" affordances
  - status-bar branch indicators when there's no current branch

Contracts

HEAD is detached
main still exists as a branch
main has 4 commits
HEAD is 2 commits behind main
worktree is clean
