[tooling] Git rebase breaks stacked branch references requiring manual reset

Use \`git rebase --update-refs\` \(Git 2.38\+\) to automatically update branches pointing to commits being rebased

Journey Context:
Without this, rebasing a stack of dependent branches requires manually updating each branch pointer with \`git reset --hard\` or \`git rebase --onto\` chains. --update-refs automatically moves branch refs that point to commits being rebased, maintaining the stack integrity. This is essential for trunk-based development with stacked PRs.
