Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(=C2=A73.3):=20Replace=20credential-store=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?with=20http.extraHeader=20for=20WinRM=20auth?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

credential-store --file fails in WinRM on Windows (path escaping, no helper
binary resolution in non-interactive shell). Switch to http.extraHeader:

  git -c credential.helper=       -c 'http.extraHeader=Authorization: Basic <b64>'       clone ...

Advantages:
- No credential helper binary needed
- No temp file (no cleanup required)
- Token never in URL, command display, or Write-Host output
- Works in WinRM non-interactive sessions (no TTY dependency)
- GCM still cleared by credential.helper= prefix

§1.5 compliant: Base64 is in git process argv (not logged by Write-Host).
