Phase 1.0BU: WSL Git status timeout and Windows Git fixture gate

Status: BT_CONSUMED_WSL_STATUS_UNSUITABLE_WINDOWS_GIT_READ_ONLY_FIXTURE_ALLOWED

Date: 2026-07-29

BT again completed the commit check and timed out in the unchanged read-only status request, now after 120 seconds. The process group was terminated before stage creation and all output paths remain absent. Repeated deadline increases are not justified.

The locally installed Windows Git 2.54.0.windows.1 is exact-hash bound and has already returned the same checkout clean through PowerShell. BU permits one WSL-to-Windows read-only fixture containing only rev-parse HEAD and status --porcelain. It does not permit worktree creation, patches, CMake or a build.
