Stepping a bit, how does our "git status" fare here? It shows what step in a sequence "rebase -i" the user who got control back (due to "break", "exec sh", "edit" or a conflicted "pick") is in. Or at least it tries to. Does it suffer from the same "great, but ..."? If it works better than how lazygit shows, perhaps how it computes the current state can be reproduced, or better yet, the current state it computed can be exposed, and it can be prototyped by parsing "LC_ALL=C git status -uno" output, perhaps?
