If you have already used an LLM to investigate an issue, don't post a generated wall of text.  A human has to read and verify all that.  Please do that work yourself and then use your own words to describe the relevant findings.

Disclose the LLM usage upfront.

======================================================================

We use this issue tracker only for issues suspected to be caused by bugs.  If you need help or want to make a suggestion, please instead open a discussion.

======================================================================

Before reporting a defect, please try to reproduce the issue using the latest releases or snapshots of all involved packages.  Mention the versions you used, with the help of "M-x magit-version".

Likewise try to reproduce it using an Emacs instance, in which only this package and its dependencies have been loaded.  Other packages or your configuration should not be loaded.

Please consult https://docs.magit.vc/magit/Debugging-Tools.html and make use of the tools documented there.  Some of these tools are useful when dealing with dependencies and extensions of Magit.

======================================================================

Explain (1) what behavior you expected, (2) what behavior you observed, (3) and how we can reproduce the issue.

Do "M-x magit-version", trigger the issue again, and post the backtrace.
