Git exports repository-local variables (GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE,
GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_COMMON_DIR, ...) into hooks, and some editors export
them into their terminals. They take precedence over `git -C <dir>`, and
every git child cbm spawned inherited them. A cbm started from such an
environment therefore resolved every project against the CALLER's
repository: git_context reported a plain directory as is_git=true with
the caller's worktree root, branch and HEAD, the history pass attributed
the caller's commits to it, and the watcher / detect_changes /
artifact git calls read (and `config merge.ours.driver` could write) the
wrong repository.
Fix: one production helper, src/foundation/git_env.{c,h}, holds the
15-variable list `git rev-parse --local-env-vars` prints and builds the
child environment with exactly those removed -- a POSIX envp array or a
Windows CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT block (case-insensitive names). It is
applied per spawn; cbm's own environment is never modified (no unsetenv
in the parent, which would race other threads):
- cbm_popen_git(cmd): read-mode popen for git command lines. POSIX spawns
/bin/sh -c via posix_spawn with the scrubbed envp (stdin /dev/null,
pipe ends close-on-exec, reaped by cbm_pclose); Windows passes the block
to the existing handle-isolated CreateProcessW spawn. Fails closed.
- cbm_proc_opts_t.strip_git_repo_env: cbm_subprocess_spawn passes the
scrubbed envp to posix_spawnp / the fork+exec child, or the block to
CreateProcessW. Fails closed.
- Every git spawn uses them: git_context, pass_githistory, artifact
(4 sites), the watcher's git runner, and detect_changes' git commands.
search_code's grep scan keeps the inherited environment.
Tests (RED before, green after, RED on revert of the helper and of the
call sites):
- git_context::git_context_ignores_inherited_repo_env -- GIT_DIR and the
hook set pointing at a decoy repo: a plain dir is is_git=false, a
fixture repo reports its own HEAD and branch, the decoy is untouched.
- git_context::githistory_ignores_inherited_repo_env -- the history pass
on a plain dir sees 0 commits (was the decoy's 4).
- subprocess::subprocess_strip_git_repo_env_is_per_child and
popen_git_strips_repo_env_and_reports_exit_status -- all 15 variables
are gone in the child, unrelated variables pass through, the parent
environment is unchanged, and cbm_pclose keeps pclose() status
semantics.
Proof (macOS arm64, GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE/GIT_INDEX_FILE/GIT_PREFIX
exported at a decoy clone, `cli index_status verbose=true`): a plain dir
went from is_git=true, worktree_root=<decoy>, branch=<decoy's> (v0.11.0)
to is_git=false; a fixture repo went from the decoy's root/branch/HEAD
to its own root and branch.

On Windows every git_context test SKIP_PLATFORMs, leaving git_run/make_git_repo
as unused static functions -> -Wunused-function under -Werror failed the Windows
build. Guard the two helpers (only called from the non-Windows test bodies) so
the file compiles clean on Windows while the tests still run on Linux/macOS.

detect_changes returned an empty impacted_symbols set for projects indexed
inside a git worktree or from a repo subdirectory (#659): canonical_root was
computed wrong. `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` emits a path relative to the
directory passed via -C (input_path), NOT to worktree_root, and the "/.git"
suffix was stripped textually without resolving ".." components. So e.g.
"../.git" joined against worktree_root, or "/ws/scripts/../.git" strip, left an
unresolved ".." and never matched the project's stored root path.
Fix (src/git/git_context.c): join the relative --git-common-dir against
input_path (the -C dir) instead of worktree_root, and realpath()/_fullpath()-
normalize the result BEFORE stripping "/.git" (the .git dir always exists for a
valid repo, so resolution succeeds). This is consistent with the existing
realpath'd root_path used for prefix matching (mcp.c).
Reproduce-first: tests/test_git_context.c. The subdirectory case is the genuine
guard — a repo indexed from a subdir yields a *relative* --git-common-dir, so the
unfixed code leaves an un-normalized "<root>/subdir/.." (verified RED; GREEN after
the realpath fix). The linked-worktree case is a supporting invariant, not the
#659 reproducer: git that emits an *absolute* worktree --git-common-dir (e.g.
2.48.x) doesn't manifest the bug, so it passes either way; it still enforces the
worktree->main-root invariant. All three git-based tests SKIP_PLATFORM on Windows
(the CI shell there cannot init a repo via system()).
Distilled from #672 (thanks @anivaryam); that PR's production fix is taken
verbatim. Its repo_root/subdir tests ran git unconditionally and failed the
Windows CI leg ("failed to init git repo"); here all three git-based tests are
Windows-skipped so ci-ok is green cross-platform. Supersedes #696, which only
realpath'd after the strip without changing the join base and so still yielded
the workspace parent for the subdirectory case.
Closes#659
