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.
