It exits with an error if git is older than the required version or does not answer within the time limit. A git that hangs is forcibly stopped. The git version error mentions SSH commit signing. Before, a failure was only reported afterwards, with \"Check git is on PATH and ~\/.gitconfig is writable\".\n\n- The check of `--use-anthropic-git-proxy` now happens earlier in startup.\n\n- Registration now sends `usesAgentProxyStandalone` instead of `agentProxyUrl`.\n\n- The request to `\/v1\/code\/sessions\/{id}\/remote` now sends `uses_agent_proxy_standalone=true` when `usesAgentProxyStandalone` is set. It used to send an `agent_proxy_url` value.\n\n- Separately, a review-prompt hint now reads \"clear text to dismiss\" under a certain condition.\n\n**Why**\n\nA runner image with an old git, or a git that does not respond, now stops at startup with a clear message instead of failing later. The way the runner tells the server about its agent proxy has changed.\n\n- Area: Self-Hosted Runner\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: both\n- Heads-up: yes"}
