⚠️ Notes

• Automation runs only on tracked repositories
• restore performs a force push — rewrites remote history, use with caution
• run is for manual triggering, not regular use
• Internet connection required for push, version check, and AI commit messages
• Always use autocommit uninstall instead of pip uninstall directly — running pip uninstall alone will leave an orphaned task in Windows Task Scheduler that silently fails on every trigger
