…ocal - orbcli#29's touchpoint fetch made every `orbit info` and every session start with worktrees pay N serial remote round-trips (default branch + each tracked branch, one fetch each), multiplying with scoped-branch residue; measured baselines: `orbit info` 4.83s wall / ~0.4s CPU on a repo with 4 tracked branches, 19.7s on a pool carrying more scoped-branch residue, `context --startup` 24.5s with two repos added - ruling: without an async daemon, auto-fetch on a main path taxes a synchronous caller for advisory freshness — low friction outranks it (cf. VSCode's background autofetch never blocking startup); auto-fetch may return only off the main path - info and the context --startup reignite block drop the touchpoint fetch and keep config maintenance (local writes); remoteAhead now reads last-fetched refs, refreshed by sync / prune or the user's own fetch/pull; fetching touchpoints narrow to sync / prune - skill contract (SKILL.md + CONSTRAINTS.md): steps 3/5 state the last-fetched-refs semantics; cold-start sync becomes a two-trigger rule (remoteAhead > 0, or a stale last fetch when the task depends on fresh code) - spec-docs, USAGE, ROADMAP, CHANGELOG and the two info-fetch bats cases sync to the new contract; full suite 367/367 on latest main Signed-off-by: Zheng Weihao <zheng-weihao@outlook.com>
