workspace-hygiene-and-git-discipline

To route agent artifacts outside the parent git repository, you direct agent-generated outputs to safe external locations. This prevents repository pollution and ensures clean CI workflows without impacting main code.

Fixing a detached HEAD state in git submodules requires performing detached-head recovery and submodule pointer synchronization. This realigns submodule references to keep parent repository pointers accurate and prevent hidden drift.

The best way to prevent accidental commits of build artifacts in a monorepo is applying pre-commit discipline. Automated validation checks intercept policy violations and artifact leakage before they enter the main codebase.

Yes, this workspace cleanup approach works with CI-CD workflows. It enforces safe git discipline to prevent submodule drift and artifact leakage, ensuring reliable CI tool evaluation and reproducibility without impacting main code.

Submodule drift threatens reproducibility in monorepos because parent references become inaccurate when submodule pointers are misaligned. Safe alignment and pointer synchronization are required to maintain repository integrity and reliable builds.

Run pre-commit validation for submodule alignment before finalizing any changes to the parent repository. This enforces safe git discipline, catches detached HEAD states early, and ensures artifact routing rules are strictly followed.
