Failed to get latest commit for all documents

Error message

Failed to get latest commit for all documents

What it means

Guard in VCS.allDocuments: no latest snapshot/commit exists on the current branch, so there is no committed state from which to collect all document blobs. Typically means the project has no commits yet or local VCS history is empty/corrupted.

Solutions

1. Create an initial commit/snapshot on the branch
2. Verify the correct branch is checked out
3. Restore history from the remote via fetch/pull

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at packages/insomnia-vcs/src/vcs.ts:552 when the library encounters an invalid state.
