A reformatted PR shows 80 changed lines but changed nothing — I built a zero-dep diff that sees through it

git branch -d is fine — until the day you delete the wrong one

Your dev stack is 4 terminal tabs. It could be one labeled stream.

I built a local dead-man's-switch for cron jobs (no server, no signup)
