Current behavior
GitRefAdapter.deleteRef() recognizes a failed checked git update-ref as a conflict only when human-readable Git diagnostics contain one of a fixed set of English phrases. A checked-delete race can therefore leak a raw plumbing error when stderr is empty or varies by Git version. anchorRef() has the same diagnostic-text dependency, and updateRef() does not normalize post-probe compare-and-swap races.
Expected behavior
After a checked ref mutation fails, classify the result from structured post-failure ref posture: symbolic target, direct OID, or absence. Return or throw the existing conflict contract when the observed posture disproves the attempted precondition. Preserve the original operational error when the posture does not prove a conflict. Do not classify by English stderr.
