[BUG] git push fails with HTTP 503 on git-receive-pack endpoint via the Claude Code proxy

What's Wrong?
git push fails with HTTP 503 through the Claude Code git proxy. Every push attempt returns:
error: RPC failed; HTTP 503 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 503
send-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
This has persisted across multiple Claude Code sessions (several hours). git fetch and reads work fine — only writes (git-receive-pack) are broken.
What Should Happen?
git push should successfully push committed changes to the remote branch via the Claude Code proxy. Currently the only workaround is using MCP GitHub tools (push_files) which bypass the proxy entirely.

Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Claude Code session with a GitHub-connected repository
- Make changes to files and create a git commit
- Run: git push -u origin <branch-name>
- Error appears immediately: "HTTP 503 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 503"
- Issue persists across all new Claude Code sessions
- git fetch and git pull work correctly — only push (git-receive-pack) fails
