Description

If a push of a new version of the project fails for some reason (server error, network problem, ...), pending changes will be left in the working directory. However, the tool does a sanity check for any pending changes when woken up, and it will refuse to resume sync:

There are pending changes in the local directory - please review and push manually!

The tool keeps running, but does nothing - only sleeps and then complains about pending changes.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing a failed push, then trace the wake-up path that checks for pending changes and refuses to resume sync. Done should be demonstrated by recovery after a failed push instead of repeated pending-change warnings.
