The CLI is reporting that the repository is locked, but no one is presently working with it. What can I do?

It is possible that for some reason an operation was aborted leaving a lock file behind. To restore normal operations you can either check out the repository or use the web interface to delete all lock files. Lock files are located in Companies/, Interactions/ and Studies/. The lock file must be removed from the main branch directly to restore operations.

My repository has a lot of branches, should I clean them up?

No the GitHub Action called prune-branches was installed in the repository and takes care to make sure there aren't more than 15 branches at any time. The action runs everyday at 12:00AM according to the time kept on GitHub. Note that the main README.md in the <organization_name>_discovery repository has a report that lists the last time this and the other actions were run -- see example screenshot below.

Can I rerun the included actions?

Yes after a successful run you can rerun the action which will either prune the number of branches or generate the reports in the repository.
