mando-cli Git Handler Rewrite

Git Handler Layer Rewrite (2026-04-09)

Summary

Complete rewrite of the git/glab handler layer for fault tolerance, reliability, and no silent failures. 96 tests passing (was 61).

GitHandler Changes

• All remote ops (clone/pull/fetch) use shared remote_cmd() + run_with_timeout() — 120s timeout, 10s for probes
• Every remote command sets GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, SSH BatchMode=yes, ConnectTimeout=10
• clone_repo(url, target_dir, branch) — new target_dir param fixes slug mismatch where git default naming didn’t match project slugs
• New methods: checkout(), remote_add(), ssh_reachable() (static SSH connectivity probe)
• New error variant: GitError::Timeout

GlabHandler Changes

• GlabError::NotInstalled / GlabError::NotAuthenticated — explicit error variants, no more silent failures
• detect_clone_strategy() probes SSH connectivity before recommending SSH protocol, falls back to HTTPS if unreachable
• parse_auth_output() extracted as testable unit for parsing glab auth status output
• Single auth_status_output() call shared across methods (DRY)
• CloneStrategy::fallback() replaces duplicated manual protocol-switching logic

CliBuffer Changes

• wrap_future now requires Result return type — shows ✔ on success, ✘ <error> on failure
• No more misleading progress bars that show checkmark regardless of outcome

init.rs Fixes

• Passes project slug as clone target dir (fixes directory naming mismatch)
• Uses strategy.fallback() instead of manual protocol switching
• Proper error handling for glab not-installed / not-authenticated

Test Coverage

96 tests total (was 61). New integration tests cover:

• Clone with explicit target directory
• Clone-then-pull roundtrip
• Checkout and branch switching
• Worktree full lifecycle (add, list, remove)
• Remote add and fetch
• SSH probe for invalid hosts
