Please run garbage collection — repo size not reduced after history rewrite (leikwon/idfocus)

Hello,

I rewrote the history of my private repository leikwon/idfocus using
git filter-repo to remove large files (OCR models and a virtual
environment), and force-pushed on 2026-07-12.

Current status:
- Local size after cleanup (git count-objects -vH): size-pack is
2.95 MiB, about 3 MB total.
- Size still shown in Bitbucket: 466.8 MB, unchanged for 5 days.
- Open or Draft pull requests: none.
- The only ref on the remote is refs/heads/main at commit 79a656f.

Automatic garbage collection has not reduced the size. Could you
please run garbage collection and remove the hidden internal
references on this repository so the storage is reclaimed? The
workspace is close to the 1 GB limit.

Thank you.
