Research direction

Start at the azdev style <extension> entry point and trace how Flake8 selects the source it checks. Reproduce the issue on a checked-out branch after fixing a Flake8 error, then verify that the current branch is inspected and the error does not reappear.

Description

When I fix a Flake8 error for azdev style <extension> within the currently checked out branch, it doesn't look at the current branch, so the error appears again.
