Contributor guide
First steps

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the mismatch on the dashboard's branches and prebuilds pages using the linked spring-petclinic branch, then trace how its last commit state is displayed and how new changes trigger prebuilds. Done means both pages show the current git state and new changes trigger prebuilds automatically.
