What
A new classifier turns a raw HTTP failure into a specific cause: a 401 with an auth-required error becomes "not connected", a 404 with a missing-resource error becomes "repo not found", and anything else stays inconclusive so the old generic message is used.
Details
The two named verdicts are what let the review preflight print tailored guidance rather than a status code.
Evidence

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