Detect and fix clang-format, clang-tidy, and copyright header violations in an OpenVINO C++ codebase. Use when the user complains about code style or formatting, asks to clean up changes, fix linting, add a copyright header, or when a style check or linting CI job is failing. Do not use for build errors, compilation failures, linker errors, test failures, runtime crashes, accuracy issues, or CMake config problems.

Apply Code Standards

Iteratively detect and fix all clang-format, clang-tidy, and copyright violations introduced by the current branch's changes.

Step 1: Identify Affected Files and Build Targets

Before running any commands, check whether the upstream reference is already confirmed in the conversation. If it is not, stop and ask:

"I'll diff against upstream/master. Let me know if you use a different upstream."

Do not proceed until the user replies. Use the confirmed reference in all subsequent steps. Once the upstream branch is known, you must fetch and find a merge-base commit , against which the diff should be collected. Then run:

git diff --name-only <ref_commit> | grep -v '^thirdparty' | tee /tmp/changed_files.txt

Map the changed files to CMake targets. If the mapping is not obvious, ask the user:

"Which CMake targets cover the files you changed? (e.g., openvino_intel_cpu_plugin)"

Step 2: Check, Fix, Repeat

Follow the fix order and tool instructions from coding_style.md exactly — do not rearrange or skip steps. Read that file before proceeding. Repeat the full cycle until all checks pass.
