Remote sessions stop shelling out for local git state

Remote sessions skip local git and gh lookups, so startup is faster there.

What

In remote mode, several call paths substitute empty or false values instead of probing the local checkout, and startup telemetry gains a coarse classification of the remote host.

Details
  • Affected call sites: share/transcript collection, startup context gathering, session-metadata assembly, and the git-info telemetry helper.
  • Skipped work includes git status, worktree counts and gh auth checks.
  • A new git-info helper classifies the remote into github, ghe, gitlab, bitbucket, azure or other for startup telemetry.
Evidence

remote_host_class

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
