Research direction

Start by tracing how the [default] section of user/__manager/config.ini handles allow_git_url_install, using the provided Linux and Python environment details. Compare the behavior with the linked security-policy reference and reproduce the reported error. Done means a true setting is recognized and the requested Git URL installation proceeds without that configuration error.
