Development record
abcd land refuses when the checkout's local origin/HEAD is stale or missing and tells the person to run git fetch and git remote set-head themselves (land.go, the forge-default check), though abcd can settle the gap by asking origin which branch is its default. The product thinker has ruled twice against a refusal that hands a person a manual step abcd can resolve itself (adr-2609301720596683, adr-2610030720195401). The refusal for the branch being the default also appends a set-head hint that has nothing to do with that case. Found by a peer session and confirmed on main, 2026-10-16.

- adr-2609301720596683abcd adds a missing site label to an existing ui.json and never rewrites one
- adr-2610030720195401abcd keeps its own folders out of desktop indexing only by changing those folders, never the computer's search settings
- iss-2610161849042422gitutil.RemoteHeadBranch runs git ls-remote through gitutil.Net directly rather than through abcd land's Options.Git seam, so landing tests cannot record the call or fake an answer: they need a real local bare origin for every case, and the unreachable-origin and malformed-answer cases are reached only by building such a repository. Found by the Opus reviewer of the origin/HEAD fix (iss-2610161831078335), 2026-10-16.
