Pull request overview

This PR adds support for a native/system Git credential provider (delegating auth to the OS Git credential manager) and threads a repoPath through Git auth/author resolution so native Git config and credential helpers can be consulted at runtime. It also updates several UI surfaces to tolerate missing/optional author fields and to treat native credentials differently from OAuth/PAT credentials.

Changes:

Introduces a native Git remote provider (registry + provider types) that uses git credential fill for authentication.
Threads repoPath into git callbacks and author lookup so native credentials can resolve identity via git config.
Updates UI components to use optional chaining for author fields and adjusts credentials listing behavior for native credentials.
