CORE: add pre-commit hook failure handling pattern

When pre-commit hooks auto-fix files (nixfmt, gofmt), amend the current commit instead of creating separate 'format' commits. This keeps git history clean and atomic. Pattern: - Amend with --no-edit after formatting fixes - Use --force-with-lease to push - Only create separate commits for actual issues

+**Pre-commit Hook Failures:**
+When pre-commit hooks fail during `git push` and automatically fix files (nixfmt, gofmt, etc.):
+1. **DO NOT create a new commit** with "format" or "cleanup" message
+2. **DO amend the current commit** with the formatting changes:
+   ```bash
+   git add <formatted-files>
+   git commit --amend --no-edit
+   git push --force-with-lease origin branch:branch
+   ```
+3. **Exception:** Only create a separate commit if formatting reveals actual issues needing investigation
