The squash commit that records a sync point is only reachable through
the pull's merge commit. A squash merge of the branch that pulled keeps
the content and drops that history, so main still measures against the
older sync point: status reports diverged for a purely local change, push
is rejected, and after the recovery pull, push sends the remote a
duplicate of the upstream commit.

main is squash-merged, so any pull done on a feature branch ends up like
this. The status test fails until this is fixed; the scenario README
shows today's output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a squash-merged subtree pull scenario, documents its command results, and tests that cmd_status output contains (push) for that scenario.

Squash-merged pull status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scenario setup and status assertion
test/scenarios/squash-merged-pull/setup.bash, test/status.bats, test/scenarios/squash-merged-pull/README.md, README.md
Adds a scenario that squash-merges an upstream subtree change and then commits a local change. The status test checks for (push). The scenario documentation describes the reported status, push attempts, and resulting commit graph. The main README lists the scenario.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bda82

The new squash-merge regression test fails against the documented current status, causing the Bats CI job to fail. Skip or otherwise defer the failing assertion until the status behavior is fixed.

Skip the known failing regression case until the status logic is fixed.

The scenario documents (diverged) at the reviewed head. The assertion requires (push), so bats --recursive test fails. The CI workflow defines no expected-failure exception.

Suggested fix
 @test "status: reports push after a pull on a squash-merged branch" {
+  skip "known bug: status reports diverged after a squash-merged pull"
   scenario_squash_merged_pull "$monorepo" "$upstream"
   cd "$monorepo"
   run cmd_status

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
