The fix is in the harness, not the forge. The "fifty pushes" test now runs git with a clean client environment, but I couldn't run it here to confirm it goes green.

Cause. The test spawned its git clone, checkout, add, commit and push children with the host environment inherited. On a crew machine that environment sets GIT_CONFIG_COUNT and GIT_CONFIG_KEY_n/GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_n. They add http.extraHeader=Authorization: Basic <agent token>. An explicit Authorization header beats the user:token in the clone URL. Every push therefore reached the test forge with a credential it didn't know. That gives remote: auth required and Authentication failed on all fifty. Token lifetime, the 600-per-minute rate limit and the hook socket backlog are not involved. The rate limit would answer 429, not a 401 challenge. test/helpers/git-client.ts already documents this failure.

Change. In test/agents.test.ts, the push test now passes gitClientEnv() as env to all its git spawns. The helper keeps PATH and a fixed identity, and drops global and system config. No source under src/ changed, and test/agents.test.ts was already in the gate's GATE list, so there is no EXCLUDED entry or follow-up issue.

Not verified. I did not reproduce the failure or run the test. The sandbox here refuses listen on unix sockets, so serve() fails with EPERM and the file can't start. The diagnosis comes from reading the code. GIT_CONFIG_COUNT is set in this shell, which is consistent with it. I also didn't run bun test or a type check, so confirm with bun test test/agents.test.ts -t "fifty pushes" outside the sandbox.

I also left the two bare-repo git init spawns near line 896 alone. They don't talk to a forge over HTTP.

Closes #1056

Approved

Root cause is right: the crew shell carries http.extraHeader Authorization via GIT_CONFIG_COUNT, which beats the token in the clone URL, so each push 401s. The fix reuses the existing gitClientEnv helper, as five other tests do, and covers every git spawn (clone, checkout, add, commit, push). It is a test-only change with no new dependency and no code or security surface touched. I could not run the test here: my sandbox refuses unix socket listen (EPERM), so the failures I saw are from that, not from this change. Next: (1) the tests commit step passes its own -c identity flags, which duplicates the helpers IDENTITY, so drop one. (2) Consider a small test or lint that fails if a test spawns git with process.env inherited, so this does not come back.
