Codeman maintainer

On a Mac without the developer tools, /usr/bin/git is a placeholder: running it, even as `git --version`, makes macOS open its "install the command line developer tools" window. The server asked "is git here?" exactly that way on the first page load (isGitAvailable() from renderIndexHtml), so a no-admin install on such a Mac ended with that window one second after the server started, and it would have come back at every start. Found on a new MacBook on 2026-11-06: the system log names the Codeman server as the parent of that git process. One gate now stands in front of every git the server starts (src/utils/git-availability.ts). On macOS it resolves git on the PATH itself; when that is the placeholder, `xcode-select -p` must name a developer folder that holds a git of its own. xcode-select only prints and never opens a window. Without the tools, git counts as absent and is never started: every caller gets the ENOENT it already answers with "git is not installed". A refusal is asked again after a minute, so installing the tools later needs no server restart for the git features, and isGitAvailable() no longer memoizes that one refusal. Gated: the clone and worktree runners, the Git panel's status and fetch, the update check and repository status, and Read My Mind's workspace signals. test/git-spawn-gate.test.ts covers the decision and scans src/ for a git spawn in a file that does not call the gate, with the reviewed list of sites pinned. Checked for real on macOS 27. With the developer tools present (Command Line Tools on one Mac, Xcode on another) the gate resolves /usr/bin/git, finds the tools and allows git, in 3 to 5 ms. On a MacBook with no developer tools, a fresh no-admin install with this fix started the server and loaded the page with git reported as absent, no window opened, and the system log holds no request to install the tools; the same install without the fix logged that request one second after the server started.
