Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The credential-helper changes have no established merge-blocking defect. Helper reset values remain intact, and the new files satisfy the license requirements. Merge after normal checks. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Credential-helper choices affect shared Git configuration. The accounts-only choice does not enforce that restriction for every repository, and a failed save can leave credential settings changed. Matching connected-account credentials remain isolated from helper fallback. Retained concerns

Review comments at @macgit/Services/GitCredentialInjector.swift:
- Around line 35-41: Update configuredGitHelpers to set GIT_ASKPASS to an empty
string and remove inherited SSH_ASKPASS while preserving configured credential
helpers. Update tests that expect GIT_ASKPASS to be nil to expect an empty
string.
Review comments at @macgit/Services/GitStatusService+GlobalSettings.swift:
- Around line 163-170: Update updateGlobalCredentialHelper to capture the
existing credential.helper values before unsetting them, then restore those
values if either replacement add fails before rethrowing the error. Preserve the
expected missing-key behavior while allowing other unset failures to surface;
keep the successful replacement flow unchanged.
