This means new host keys are no longer automatically trusted \u2014 the user must explicitly add them first. Improved error messages now provide specific remediation steps:\n\n- For changed host keys: shows `ssh-keygen -R <host>` command\n- For unknown hosts: shows `ssh -T git@<host>` command\n- Detects `REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED` and `Host key verification failed` scenarios\n\n**Evidence**\n\nSSH config change (search for `\"StrictHostKeyChecking=yes\"`, `\"SSH host key has changed\"`)"}
