What
Three process-spawn sites no longer pass the parent's full environment to the child; each child now receives only the variables Claude Code builds for it.
Details
New fixed environment sets for git: one setting GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS to "1", a variant setting it to "0", and a config-isolation set including GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM: "1".
These replace an older space-separated string listing the same variable names.
Unconditional at those call sites.

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