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.
