Unclear What supplies the proxy credential, and so which macOS setups use the new route, is not stated.
What
The sandbox is a restricted environment in which Claude Code can run shell commands. Its network traffic goes through a proxy, a go-between that passes connections along. On macOS, when a proxy credential is available, the sandbox now sets SRT_SSH_PROXY_COMMAND and a GIT_SSH_COMMAND that runs it. Git then reaches SSH remotes through the proxy, passing along an encoded credential.
When there is no credential, git over SSH still uses the earlier nc -X 5 SOCKS proxy command.
Why
This changes how git commands that use SSH connect when they run inside the sandbox on macOS. It matters if you push to or pull from SSH remotes in sandboxed shells.
