Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the missing Git button for a Git/GitHub folder under WSL and inspect the linked debug.log alongside the repository's Git integration entry points. Done means .git folders and GitHub remotes under WSL are recognized and the Git button appears.
