[Bug] Git-Manager Agent provides incomplete workflow when pre-commit hooks fail

[Bug] Git-Manager Agent provides incomplete workflow when pre-commit hooks fail

Bug Description

Git-manager agent runs pre-commit hooks but doesn't complete the commit workflow when hooks fail, leaving users with staged but uncommitted files without clear explanation.

Expected Behavior

• Agent should detect pre-commit hook failures clearly
• Agent should report the failure with actionable information
• Agent should offer alternatives (--no-verify, fix tests, disable hooks, etc.)
• Agent should complete the git workflow or provide clear status about why it was blocked

Actual Behavior

• Agent runs pre-commit hooks which fail on test runner
• Agent doesn't clearly communicate that commit was blocked by hook failure
• User is left with staged but uncommitted files without clear explanation
• No actionable guidance provided for resolving the blocking issue

Reproduction Steps

1. Have failing integration tests in the codebase that will cause pre-commit hooks to fail
2. Use git-manager agent to "commit all files and push"
3. Pre-commit hooks fail on smart test runner
4. Agent doesn't complete workflow or provide clear status about the blockage

Impact

• Confusing user experience - files appear uncommitted without clear reason
• Incomplete git workflow execution
• User has to manually diagnose why files remain uncommitted
• Breaks the promise of "commit and push all files" functionality
• No guidance on how to resolve the blocking issue

System Information

• Platform: macOS (Darwin 24.3.0)
• Claude Code: Latest version with git-manager agent
• Repository: Git repo with pre-commit hooks configured
• Hook failure: Smart test runner failing on integration tests

Current Agent Output

Agent shows pre-commit hook execution but doesn't clearly state:

1. That the commit was blocked due to hook failure
2. What specific test failures caused the block
3. What options are available to proceed (--no-verify, fix tests, etc.)

Expected Fix

• Enhanced error handling for pre-commit hook failures
• Clear status messages about commit blocking with specific failure reasons
• Actionable alternatives when commits are blocked (offer --no-verify option)
• Complete the promised workflow or clearly explain why it cannot be completed
• Better integration between git operations and test failure reporting

Suggested Improvements

1. Clear Failure Communication: "Commit blocked by failing pre-commit hooks"
2. Specific Failure Details: Report which hook failed and why
3. Actionable Options: Offer to retry with --no-verify or fix failing tests
4. Status Clarity: Make it obvious when files remain staged but uncommitted
