Commit And Push Result

• Staged files:
  • My-Library/Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/April_2026/Monthly-News-Collage_April_2026.png
  • My-Library/Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/April_2026/metadata/Monthly-News-Collage_April_2026.md
• Initial commit command: git commit -m "Add monthly news collage for April 2026"
• Initial commit result: succeeded as a72c3d4 with message Add monthly news collage for April 2026.
• Initial push command: git push origin mike_desktop
• Initial push result: succeeded, updating origin/mike_desktop from 20d8057 to a72c3d4.
• Metadata finalization: this file was amended into the same monthly commit after the initial push so the metadata could include the actual commit and push result. The amended commit keeps the same commit message; the final commit hash is not embedded because embedding a commit hash in its own committed contents would change the hash.

Issues

• The workflow prompt file was already present as an untracked local file; it was read for requirements and was not staged or committed.
• The old prompt's PR/news_collage instructions were intentionally ignored because the scheduled automation override requires direct commit and push to mike_desktop.
