Diagnose and recover from "PR merged, but half my work is missing from main" cases in `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` (or similar one-fresh-subagent-per-task) sessions, where committed work survives in the worktree's `HEAD` chain but never makes it into the pushed branch ref. Use when ANY of these appears: (1) `gh pr view <N>` body claims "M files changed, N insertions" but `gh pr diff <N> --name-only | wc -l` returns a smaller number than you expect…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Subagent-driven session left commits stranded — branch ref froze while worktree HEAD advanced

## Problem

You ran a long `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` (or similar fresh-
subagent-per-task) session in a worktree. Each subagent did its task, committed
its work, the controlling session ran spec + code-quality review per task, all
green. At the end you pushed the worktree's branch to origin, opened a PR, CI
went green, you squash-merged.

Hours or one session later, somebody runs `pytest` on freshly-pulled main and
gets a `ModuleNotFoundError`, a missing-file assertion, or a `sql_path missing`
error pointing at code that **was definitely committed** during the session.
`git log` in your old worktree still shows all the commits at the top of the
branch. But on main, half of them are gone.

The squash commit on main contains only the early portion of your work —
typically the first N tasks before some specific transition point. Tasks
after that point exist as commits in the worktree (`git log` shows them)
but did not reach origin, did not reach the PR, did not reach the merge.

## Context / Trigger Conditions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/subagent-driven-branch-ref-froze-stranded-commits@sha256:28e4a069982c0952

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
