Brancher Preview

The full spin-up -> change -> build -> view loop: create a sanitized node, apply a code change to it (two supported patterns), run the Magento build commands the change actually needs, look at the result with a browser, and end with an explicit reminder that the node is still billing Brancher minutes. This skill does not delete the node itself — that is brancher-cleanup's job, or an explicit follow-up brancher_delete call.

Flow

1. Identify which Hypernode/app, then spin up the node. Follow the brancher-spinup skill exactly, starting with its own first step: if the user's request doesn't say which app to target, call brancher_apps first, show the configured list, and ask before calling any other tool (never guess an appname; if exactly one app is configured, proceed with it and just note that). Then continue the brancher-spinup flow (ask for a label if missing, call brancher_create, report node_name, access_url with its Basic Auth login (preview_basic_auth_username/ preview_basic_auth_password, if set — without it the URL alone won't get anyone in), admin_url with its WORKING login (preview_admin_username/preview_admin_password — NOT admin_username/admin_email, which is the deliberately-locked original account), status, sanitization_commands_run, and an explicit sales_and_customer_data_sanitized confirmation — minutes_remaining is always None; see the brancher-spinup skill for why, and don't report it as if it were meaningful data). The wait itself is two separately-timed phases (ip-assignment, then SSH-reachability); on success report the ip_assigned_after_seconds/ssh_reachable_after_seconds split too when it's notably uneven, and see brancher-spinup's Errors section for how to tell the two distinct timeout failure modes apart (NodeIpNeverAssignedError vs NodeUnreachableTimeoutError) if spin-up fails here. Do not reimplement or shortcut that create -> wait -> sanitize -> ready sequence here — reuse it as a step. Nothing in this skill proceeds until brancher_create reports status: "ready".
