Description

On wolfi-os we are seeing intermittent errors with auto issues being created

example https://github.com/wolfi-dev/os/issues/1639

I've been running the bot on my fork and not been able to recreate. My current best guess is the git repo that branches and PRs are created from is getting into a bad state somehow.

Need to investigate, adding more logging could help

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the wolfictl update flow that creates auto issues, compare it with wolfi-dev/os#1639, and inspect repository state around branch and pull request creation while adding logging where needed. Done means identifying and fixing the cause of the intermittent “failed to propose changes” error.
