Git remotes using plain http:// are now refused

When Claude Code looks up a repository's git remote URL, it now accepts only https:// (or file:// where allowed) and refuses http://

What

Claude Code has a routine that reads a repository's remote address from git's settings (clone.defaultRemoteName and remote.<name>.url). It now accepts the address only if it starts with https://, or file:// where that is allowed. Addresses starting with http://, which were accepted before, are now refused.

Why

Repositories whose remote uses plain http:// will be refused by whatever feature uses this lookup. It looks like a security tightening.
