Check every instance of Homura interacting with Oriko and Kirika in the time stop. No I'm not wrong.

If Homura feels she needs to reset, she may just disappear from our point of view.
After all if a new loop can have differences that indicate it diverged long before Homura 'reset' the universe back to, that would then indicate it existed independent of her actions and wouldn't need a destroyed timeline to overwrite.
Also Meta-speaking it would be very disruptive to the Quest to have a character that destroys the entire world and there's nothing you could do about it, not even Oriko's solution.

Uh, no, in that case we'd need to research dimensional travel and send a message to Homura that we fixed everything and she can come back now.Well, then the obvious answer:
If Homura suddenly vanishes without a trace, we conclude that she time-warped.
Then, we have Madoka wish her back to this timeline.

I have to disagree with the "Homura simply disappears" scenario.
Not only does it mean there's literal hundreds, potentially infinite number of Alternate Universes that for some reason ALL have a one-month-separation-in-time.
Not only does it mean Homura overwrites her native-to-Alternate-Universe self every time she loops.
It also means that the model Kyubey used to describe Madoka, that of "Homura looping tangles up more and more potential in Madoka", makes a lot less sense all of a sudden.
And it also means Madoka managed to overwrite-erase all of her own selves in all the alternate universes with her canon wish.

It's canon. As of wraith arc, the official InuCurry writing team behind the series has confirmed that not only did the timelines persist after Homura left them, but that Homura had the ability to return to those timelines later on if she wanted to (she didn't want to).

That's EXACTLY what happens, though, according to Madogatari and Wraith Arc.
Madoka's potential is because Homura's time travel is connecting every Madoka to the next iteration like red yarn on a bulletin board. Souls also exist in all possible universes, so it apparently actually is the same Homura/Madoka/etc, with memory leakage.
And it's not really like there needs to be a month-separation-in-time. When you're moving between timelines, your entry point in the new universe is totally fucking arbitrary. It's one of the only methods of time travel scientists seriously consider as possibly valid.

Kind of like how a wormhole can bend space to make "FTL" possible, without actually having anything moving faster than light. Only this time, instead of folding the third dimension through the fourth, it's folding the fourth dimension through the fifth. Behaving as a square rather than as a line.
If Puella Magi could Mankai, I imagine Homura would be able to translate sixth dimensionally, which would make her capable of existing in several separate timelines simultaneously without breaking coherent form... Which I'm not entirely sure what would look like, but probably would end up with Firn writing something like this:
Code:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Homura fixes everything and nothing does nothing wrong before failing and succeeding simultaneously kissing Madoka and bowing out of reality as your new deity of snack burritos in the manner suitable of a woman who's age equals one over zero.If you want to imagine what that sounds like, just imagine the noise your computer made when you first got Gary's Mod and decided to detonate a stellar-sized mass of explosive barrels simultaneously. Hold that in your mind. Now, separately, take the Earth, and take VY Canis Majoris. This is your new comparison - compare the noise of your computer to the noise the universe made when Homura translated along the sixth dimension, to your comparison of the Earth to VY Canis Majoris. They are equivalent ratios.

As a responsible voice occupying the brain of a ditzy magical girl, I'm going to try my hardest to utterly derail this particular train of thought, if only for the safety of everyone within nearby spacetime. Once we sort out our little pocket universe problem, then we can go back to brain-meltingly hazardous temporal physics, but not before. Please don't blow up this universe, if only because without functioning dimensions how will you ever snuggle with Mami again.

Now that's a terrifying thought for Sabrina to think.
It's like, it looks like a line that would be before a vote where you decide...
[] Hold onto your morals. But what if you fail...
[] Start smashing gems. Even though Mami would hate you for it.

What if Homu is so thin because everything she 'eats' goes intoHomu is only 10 kg?! We need to get some cake in her, stat!
You fool! Now we'll just want to science up homucat!

In the end, Homura Akemi was brought low not by anything so dramatic as Walpurgisnacht, or by her own despair... but by a random magical girl whose powers consisted solely of the LUCHA LIBRE fighting style ratcheted up to superhuman levels.
