> Process monitoring at 0.1-second intervals found zero git processes around reset times.

I don’t think this is a valid way of checking for spawned processes. Git commands are fast. 0.1-second intervals are not enough. I would replace the git on the $PATH by a wrapper that logs all operations and then execs the real git.

Sure looks to me like this whole case is Claude Code chasing its own tail, failing to debug, and offering to instead generate a bug report for the user when it can't figure out a better way forward.

Maybe even submitting the bug report "agentically" without user input, if it's running on host without guardrails (pure speculation).

eBPF is a great tool to use for debugging this kind of thing too, e.g. [bpftrace](https://bpftrace.org) has an [execsnoop](https://github.com/bpftrace/bpftrace/blob/master/tools/execs...) script for looking at everything being exec'd on the system :-)

(No need to use bpftrace, just an easy example :-) )
