* fix: detect valid repos when git rev-parse can't confirm isGitRepo() has depended entirely on a successful `git rev-parse` since18ed7b27d, with catch blocks that collapse every failure into "not a git repository". When that subprocess fails for a reason unrelated to repo-ness — a transient spawn / git-shim hiccup in the packaged app, main-process resource pressure, or a config-level error — a real repository is silently downgraded to a plain folder. The folder scanner already tolerates this via a `.git` marker, so the scan reports "git_repo" but the subsequent addRepo throws, producing the spurious "Open as Folder" prompt for a valid repo. Keep `git rev-parse` as the authoritative positive signal, but on any non-positive result fall back to a validated `.git` marker instead of returning false: `.git` dir must contain HEAD, a `.git` file must point at a gitdir, and bare roots need HEAD + objects/ + refs/. A garbage `.git` file and an empty `.git/` are still rejected, preserving the validation18ed7b27dadded. Logs a warning when recovery via the marker happens so the underlying probe failure stays visible.
