Git detection fails despite git being installed (macOS ARM64)

Description

Claude Code shows "Anthropic marketplace requires git · Install git and restart" notification even though git is properly installed and functional.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.3
• macOS: 15.7.2 (Build 24G325) - Apple Silicon (ARM64)
• Git locations:
• /opt/homebrew/bin/git (v2.51.0 - Homebrew)
• /usr/local/bin/git (symlink to Homebrew)
• /usr/bin/git (v2.50.1 - Apple Git)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have git installed (confirmed working via git --version from all locations)
2. Launch Claude Code
3. Notification appears: "Anthropic marketplace requires git · Install git and restart"

Debug Log Evidence

From ~/.claude/debug/*.txt:

Official marketplace auto-install skipped: git_unavailable
Showing marketplace git unavailable notification

Attempted Fixes (none worked)

• Restarting Claude Code
• Restarting terminal before launching Claude Code
• Clearing ~/.claude/cache/ directory
• Clearing ~/.claude/statsig/ directory
• Deleting ~/.claude/settings.json
• Complete reinstall of Claude Code

Additional Context

• All git commands work perfectly from the CLI
• Git is available at /usr/bin/git which should not require PATH
• The issue persists across multiple Claude Code sessions
• Git remote operations work fine within Claude Code sessions (commits, status, etc.)

Expected Behavior

Claude Code should detect git since it's installed at standard locations including /usr/bin/git.
