Inspect the branch, index and working files before choosing a command. These original tasks assess whether you can preserve a team's work while changing the requested state. They are not copied employer or certification questions. A valid alternate workflow is accepted when its history and files meet the same requirements. Read destructive-action requests carefully: an authorized unpublished reset is different from a shared rollback. Later tasks combine references, integration and recovery. In a timed screen, check the final graph and status before submitting rather than trusting the last command's success message.
