Commit and Push Result

• Requested commit command: git commit -m "Add daily news collage for 2026-06-01"
• Requested push command: git push origin mike_desktop
• Result: blocked by concurrent local automation. While this run was active, mike_desktop advanced to f0f7cb4 and origin/mike_desktop also pointed to f0f7cb4.
• Observed remote commit: f0f7cb4 feat(characters): generate character card for Vivia Corax
• Collage files present in observed remote commit:
  • My-Library/Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/June_2026/Daily-News-Collage_6-1-26.png
  • My-Library/Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/June_2026/metadata/Daily-News-Collage_6-1-26.md
• Issue: observed remote commit also includes unrelated character-card files, so the scheduled requirement for a clean commit containing only the dated PNG and dated metadata file was not satisfied by the repository state after the concurrent automation.

Issues

• Existing unrelated working tree change was present before the run and left untouched: script/categories/images/icon-packs/generate_icon_packs.py.
• Additional unrelated local changes and untracked generated folders appeared during the run from other scheduled automation and were left untouched.
• The repository prompt contains older PR and news_collage branch instructions; the scheduled prompt explicitly overrode those requirements, so no PR was created and no branch switch was performed.
• Commit/push cleanliness failed because mike_desktop was advanced concurrently before this run could create the requested two-file commit.
