--backfill-commits and --realign-prose have always printed what they
would write. --rebase-refs and --bump-commit took the flag and printed
nothing, so the only way to read a plan was to let it happen, and the
recale and the pin had to be done in two full network passes with
--force in between.
Both now plan. The plan runs the production write path over a throwaway
copy rather than a parallel branch, so it cannot drift from the write,
and the planned bump reads the text the recale would have left: a pin
held back by prose the same pass would move is no longer reported as
blocked. One pass does both, recale before bump on each profile.
bump_commit also stopped announcing a rewrite of the pin to the value it
already held. On the corpus that was 126 of 232 announcements, which
buried the 106 profiles that did move.
