Unclear It is not clear which git or environment conditions make Claude Code skip this lookup.

What

One of the places where Claude Code runs git now returns an empty result when a new check flags a problem. The check looks at the git program and at your environment variables, the named settings passed to programs from outside. Before, the lookup returned nothing only when no git program was found.

Why

This may protect against an environment set up to make git behave in harmful ways.
