## Execution

Execute initialization or optimization based on `$ARGUMENTS`:

1. **Optimize commit scopes** (regenerate from history):
   ```bash
   git-agent init --scope --force
   ```
2. **Re-derive `.gitignore`** (preserve custom rules):
   ```bash
   git-agent init --gitignore
   ```
3. **Full initialization** (both scopes and `.gitignore`):
   ```bash
   git-agent init --scope --gitignore
   ```

Report the updated configuration status upon completion.
