Research direction

Open release-scripts/mandrel-ops.java at the referenced lines around 581 and 1111, and trace the downstream-sync-mark and sync-upstream entry points. Check their staging behavior with a working tree containing both staged and unstaged files. Done means each command adds only files already staged, not every file in the working tree.
