Fusion 063a839790 feat: implement repository clone mode with SSH key support

- Add clone_mode and branch fields to tool_instances
- Add ssh_key_id to git_repositories for per-repo SSH key assignment
- Implement host-side git cloning with branch selection (default: main)
- Mount SSH keys into containers for git operations in clone mode
- Add dirty state check on clone-mode instance deletion with confirmation
- Update SessionsPage with mount/clone selector, branch input, SSH key display
- Add SSH key selector to repository creation form
- Add dirty delete confirmation modal with changed files list
- Update API schemas and endpoints for new fields
- Sync delta specs to main specs (git-repo, tool-instances, repo-clone-mode)
- Archive completed OpenSpec change: repo-clone-mode-with-ssh
- Document git requirement for custom tool types

Quality gates: Frontend typecheck and build passed
OpenSpec: repo-clone-mode-with-ssh archived with all tasks complete

Raw Blame History

Context

Repository creation currently produces mirrored bare repos for any remote clone and bare repos for blank creations. The workspace, file browser, commit editor, and git toolbar are built around a working-tree repository model, so users can hit 400s when they try to sync or when the repo has no usable branch state.

Goals

Create working clones for remote repositories
Create working repos with an initial branch for blank repositories
Preserve the existing repository create endpoint and shared UI flow
Keep fetch/pull/push aligned with a normal local clone

Decisions

Clone mode

Use git clone without --mirror
Keep the existing remote URL preflight and URL parsing behavior

Blank repositories

Initialize with git init -b main when supported
Fall back to git init plus git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/main if needed

Branch state

Treat main as the initial branch name for blank repos
Make branch listing and current-branch helpers tolerate unborn HEAD

Pull behavior

Prefer the current branch when no explicit branch is supplied
Do not force origin <branch> if the branch is unborn or already tracked by the current checkout

Risks

Some older git versions may not support git init -b; the backend should fall back cleanly
Existing blank repos created under the old bare model may still require migration or cleanup outside this change
