Subject: [PATCH] Pass env to execFileSync git calls (#1151)

Bun's execFileSync without an explicit env option spawns with the process
startup environment, dropping runtime process.env mutations. The credential
helper reads GH_TOKEN which is set at runtime, so git fetch in the
restore-config path failed with empty password.

Fixes #1139
