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?
