What
- Plugin marketplace autoupdate used to read a
tengu_plugin_autoupdate_allow_credential_helperflag to decide whether to disable the git credential helper during background refresh. That flag and its conditional are gone, anddisableCredentialHelperis no longer passed at all; the background refresh call now just runs withisBackground: true. - The git
ls-remotehelper used to refresh and validate marketplace clones dropped itsdisableCredentialHelperparameter entirely. It no longer appends-c credential.helper=to the git invocation, and now passesstdin: "ignore"to the git call.
Why
Git's normal credential helper can now run during marketplace background operations instead of being force-disabled, which matters for private or authenticated marketplace repositories that need credentials to fetch.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding does not say why the credential helper was removed or what practical effect the `stdin: "ignore"` change has.
