Agent terminal sandboxing now protects `.git` metadata by default and exposes an explicit `allow_git_access` approval. Without it, file contents of the `.git` directories for opened worktrees and discovered repositories (including a linked worktree's common `.git`) cannot be read or written, though their metadata stays visible; when approved, those Git directories become writable so commands like fetch/commit work. SSH commit signing keeps working because the inherited `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is allowed as local Unix-socket IPC, which does not let sandboxed commands send network packets to other machines. The Seatbelt profile also allows PTY terminal-control ioctls so signing/passphrase prompts can manage terminal state. This intentionally restricts only `.git` itself (whose location we know exactly, including the worktree case) rather than `.gitignore`/`.gitattributes`/`.gitmodules`, since those can be nested arbitrarily and the goal is to keep the policy expressible as a plain deny-by-default allowlist that will port to Linux and Windows sandboxes later. Closes AI-334 Release Notes: - Improved agent terminal sandboxing for Git metadata, Git worktrees, and SSH commit signing.
