Distinguish an empty configuration value from an unset key.

With status.showUntrackedFiles="", Git 2.56.1 hides untracked files. Its parser treats the empty string as false. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

However, readConfigValue converts that value to null. This branch then skips preparation, so diff-index omits the untracked files from branch totals. Read this setting without collapsing an empty value into absence. Extend the existing scenario table with an empty-value case.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts at line 3750:
Update the status.showUntrackedFiles handling around readConfigValue so an explicitly empty value remains distinguishable from an unset key and follows Git’s empty-value behavior instead of skipping preparation; preserve the existing behavior for absent values. Extend the existing scenario table with a status.showUntrackedFiles empty-value case that verifies untracked files are included in branch totals.

Treat a failed status.showUntrackedFiles read as unknown, not as unset.

readConfigValue allows nonzero exits, so a failed read returns empty stdout as null. The Effect.orElseSucceed(() => "no") fallback never runs for that failure. untrackedFilesHiddenByConfig(null) returns false, so when status lists no roots, the branch skips the untracked scan. This can undercount untracked files in the branch totals when the setting actually hides them.

An unset key and a failed read both produce null. Distinguish them in readConfigValue: treat exit status 1 as an absent key, and fail other nonzero exits. The existing Effect.orElseSucceed(() => "no") at the call site then keeps the full scan for failed reads, while unset keys still skip it. Check the other readConfigValue callers before changing its failure contract.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts around lines 3750 - 3752:
readConfigValue currently conflates an unset key with failed reads, so the status.showUntrackedFiles fallback cannot trigger for command failures. Update readConfigValue to treat exit status 1 as an absent key and propagate other nonzero exits as failures; first check its other callers and preserve their expected behavior. Keep the existing Effect.orElseSucceed fallback so failed reads trigger the full untracked scan while unset keys retain the current behavior.
