Refactor mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config: split monolithic commit into 64 atomic commits

[Copilot]

✅ Task Completed: Branch Split Created

Summary

Successfully created the mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-split branch locally with 64 atomic commits.

What Was Done

• Recreated the split branch

  • Branched from commit 1012fa0 (v5.5.11 release)
  • Cherry-picked all 64 atomic commits from mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-refactored
  • Verified: Zero differences compared to refactored branch

• Documented push process

  • Created comprehensive instructions in PUSH_INSTRUCTIONS.md
  • Provided multiple options for completing the push

Branch Status

✅ Branch created: mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-split
✅ Commits: 64 atomic commits (verified)
✅ Quality: Each commit focused with related tests
⏳ Push: Awaiting manual push or use of existing refactored branch

Alternative Solution

The branch mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-refactored already exists on remote and contains the exact same 64 commits. It can be used directly or renamed to mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-split.

Technical Constraint

Due to authentication limitations in the automated environment, the locally-created branch cannot be pushed automatically. See PUSH_INSTRUCTIONS.md for options to complete the push.

Original prompt

Lets refactor the mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config branch.
Lets spit 195c82c commit into logical atomic git commits.
For this lets create new not yet existing branch from previous commit.
And add extracted logical bits as commits one by one with updated tests files.
after 195c82c is split add commits coming after 195c82c on top.

If you cant do git commits - stop.
please do not push to remote branch.

TITLE: Git Branch Refactoring - Split Commit into Atomic Commits

USER INTENT: Refactor the mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config branch by splitting commit 195c82c1 into logical atomic git commits, then reapply subsequent commits on top.

TASK DESCRIPTION:

• Create a new branch from the commit before 195c82c1
• Split the large commit 195c82c1 into smaller, logical atomic commits
• Each atomic commit should include related test file updates
• After splitting is complete, reapply any commits that came after 195c82c1
• Do NOT push to remote branch

EXISTING:

• Branch mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config exists with commit 195c82c1
• There are commits after 195c82c1 that need to be preserved

PENDING:

• Identify the parent commit of 195c82c1
• Create new branch from that parent commit
• Analyze 195c82c1 to identify logical groupings of changes
• Create atomic commits for each logical grouping (with associated tests)
• Cherry-pick or rebase commits that came after 195c82c1

CODE STATE:

• No files examined yet
• Need to inspect commit 195c82c1 to understand its contents

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:

• None yet - waiting to examine the commit contents

OTHER NOTES:

• User explicitly stated to stop if git commits cannot be performed
• User explicitly stated NOT to push to remote branch
• The approach should maintain test file associations with their related code changes

@copilot please push the branch

I've recreated the branch mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-split locally with all 64 atomic commits (verified to match the refactored branch exactly). However, I cannot push it directly due to authentication constraints in the automated environment.

The branch is ready at commit b81858e. To push it to the remote repository, you'll need to run:

git fetch origin copilot/refactor-commit-splitting
git checkout mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-split
git push -u origin mk/dev/ionosmail-on-retry-config-split

Alternatively, if you have access to push from your local environment, the branch has been fully prepared and verified.
