- #129792: checkpoint: every git call pays a ~0.45s pm.ensure("git") probe that always fails on Linux

Two members concern checkpoint Git calls repeatedly paying for a managed Git lookup (\`pm.ensure("git")\`) that is reported as always erroring on Linux, with one proposing to cache the \`failed\` lookup. A third member is about refusing a registry gap in the caller rather than through a package manager worker; its link to the other two is not clear from the titles alone.
