Image-side companion to molecule-core PR #1525 (merge_sha 73a09443a086,
workspace-server applyAgentGitIdentity). PR #1525 sets GIT_ASKPASS=
/usr/local/bin/molecule-askpass on every workspace container so git can
authenticate to private HTTPS remotes from the persona env vars already
arriving via workspace_secrets — but until this binary ships in the
runtime image, git invocations error with 'exec: /usr/local/bin/
molecule-askpass: not found' (forward-only pin gap).

This is the same class as Hermes list_peers / codex #219: ws-server
changed contract, runtime image hadn't yet caught up. Closing the
image-side gap unblocks Dev-A/Dev-B (claude-code runtime) durable
HTTPS git auth on any private host.

Generic by design — no hardcoded hostnames, no vendor literals. Script
body is identical to workspace/scripts/molecule-askpass in molecule-core
and the parallel external workspace template repos, so any deployer
can fork this template and use it against their own git host without
editing.

#!/bin/sh
# git-askpass helper. Reads HTTPS Basic-Auth credentials from env vars so
# the deployer can wire git authentication for any private remote without
# touching ~/.gitconfig or ~/.git-credentials inside the container.
#
# Wire-up: set GIT_ASKPASS=/usr/local/bin/molecule-askpass in the
# container env, then export GIT_HTTP_USERNAME / GIT_HTTP_PASSWORD (or the
# GITEA_USER / GITEA_TOKEN fallback pair). When git encounters an HTTPS
# auth challenge on a host that has no credential.helper configured for
# it, git invokes GIT_ASKPASS twice — once with a "Username for ..."
# prompt and once with a "Password for ..." prompt. We pattern-match on
# that prompt and emit the matching env var.
#
# No hardcoded hostnames or vendor names — the deployer decides which
# host these credentials apply to by virtue of setting GIT_ASKPASS only
# when the target remote is in scope. The helper itself is reusable for
# any HTTPS git remote.
#
# Failure mode: if the env vars are unset, we emit an empty string and
# let git surface "Authentication failed" — this is intentional, so a
# misconfigured deployment fails loudly at first push instead of silently
# falling through to an unrelated credential chain.
