If you always squash-merge, the unsafe --force flag is always required.

Instead, ideally gh-clean-branches should do one of:

GH API query to get the commit hash just before it was merged (check that it's identical to or ahead of the local branch)
try to merge main into the local branch (and check that the diff is empty)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have a look at it. Meanwhile, if you feel like contributing a PR it would be great :)
