Clean Gone Branches

Remove local git branches that have been deleted from the remote.

Process

Update remote references
- Run
```
git fetch --prune
```
  .
Inspect local state
- Run
```
git branch -vv
```
  to find branches marked as
```
[gone]
```
  .
- Run
```
git worktree list
```
  to see whether any of those branches still have worktrees.
Remove worktrees first
- For each
```
[gone]
```
  branch that still has a worktree, remove the worktree before deleting the branch.
Delete the gone branches
- Delete each local branch marked as
```
[gone]
```
  .
Report the result
- List removed worktrees and deleted branches.
- If there are no
```
[gone]
```
  branches, report that nothing needed cleanup.
