description: Stage, commit, and push all changes in this repo argument-hint: commit detail to include, for example: (closes #123)

You are performing a git commit for this repo. Do the following steps in order:

1. Run git status to see what's modified
2. Run git add -A to stage everything (.gitignore already excludes transient runtime files)
3. If there is nothing to stage, say so clearly and stop — do not create an empty commit
4. Write a commit message that summarizes the recent work to a temp file, then run git commit -F <tempfile> and delete the temp file afterward.
   • Do NOT use git commit -m — multi-line messages with special characters break shell quoting.
   • Do NOT use heredoc syntax (<< 'EOF') — it interacts badly with the terminal tool.
   • Instead, use printf to write the temp file, one 'line' argument per line:

     printf '%s\n' 'First line' '' 'Second line' 'Third line' > /tmp/commitmsg.txt
     git commit -F /tmp/commitmsg.txt
     rm -f /tmp/commitmsg.txt
     

   • If a commit detail argument was provided (e.g. closes #123), include it on its own line after the first line (subject), separated by a blank line:

     printf '%s\n' 'First line' '' 'closes #123' > /tmp/commitmsg.txt
     

5. Run git push to push commits up to the origin
