- #136316: selected_git_env calls pm.ensure("git") on every git invocation; 208ms x N on POSIX where it always fails

The members appear to concern the CLI's git environment selection repeatedly consulting the package manager (pm.ensure("git")) on each git call, with a reported ~208ms cost per call on POSIX, and a proposal to remember the refusal. One additional member concerns refusing a registry gap in the caller rather than via a PM worker, which seems related but is a distinct fix.
