What
Claude Code can run shell commands in a sandbox, a fenced-off environment that limits what they can reach. Network traffic from the sandbox goes through a local proxy, a go-between program on your own machine. When a command runs in the sandbox and that proxy requires a token, Claude Code now gives git a setting that clears its credential helpers for the proxy address. A credential helper is the program git asks for stored usernames and passwords.
The proxy address uses port 3128 on Linux and WSL, and the proxy's own port elsewhere. Before, sandboxed commands got no extra git settings.
Why
This is likely meant to stop git from sending your saved credentials to the sandbox proxy, or asking you for credentials when it talks to that proxy.
