What's Wrong?

Bug: CCR git proxy returns HTTP 503 for all pushes — permanently blocked

Component: Claude Code / CCR git proxy
Severity: High — blocks all code delivery from Claude Code sessions
Duration: Persisting for several hours; survives proxy restart and incident resolution

---

Description

Every git push from a Claude Code session fails with HTTP 503. The proxy's sideband
error is:

ERR Could not verify PR ownership for this branch (GitHub API temporarily unavailable).
Try pushing again.

This affects all branchesclaude/* branches, pre-existing branches, and newly
created branches. Retrying does not help.

---

Workaround

None available within the Claude Code environment. No gh CLI, no GitHub token,
no MCP GitHub push tools are available to bypass the proxy.

What Should Happen?

'git puth' should succeeed.

Error Messages/Logs

`GIT_TRACE_CURL=1` shows:

- `GET /git/.../info/refs?service=git-receive-pack` → **200 OK** ✅ (discovery works)
- `POST /git/.../git-receive-pack` → sideband returns **ERR**, curl reports **503** ❌

<= Recv data: ERR Could not verify PR ownership for this branch (GitHub AP
<= Recv data: I temporarily unavailable). Try pushing again..
error: RPC failed; HTTP 503 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 503

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session on a repository with a CCR remote
  2. Make commits on any branch

Expected: push succeeds
Actual: HTTP 503, sideband error as above
