+ * ── The problem ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * Git exports a set of variables to the processes it spawns — most notably to

+ *     GIT_DIR=/elsewhere/.git git -C /my/repo log -- file.js
+ *     # reads /elsewhere, NOT /my/repo
+ *
+ * This is live for Hone: the hook templates in `cli/lib/hook-templates/`
+ * invoke `hone` from pre-commit, so CLI code genuinely runs with `GIT_DIR`
+ * set in adopter repos. The failure is quiet — most call sites wrap git in a

+ * If a git call passes `cwd`, it means "this repository" and MUST also pass
