Research direction

Start with the ratchetFrom handling in the ratchet infrastructure and reproduce the failure using a checkout where origin/main is not present locally. Trace how the reference is resolved, then verify that specifying ratchetFrom can obtain the missing branch and no longer reports “No such reference 'origin/main'” in CI.

Description

enhancement

If you specify rachetFrom and the branch doesn't exist locally, it should be fetched by the ratchet infrastructure.
