Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Bugs

PLEASE implement submodule support. It's impossible to do anything with your shallow clones. "The build can't fully verify in this worktree due to uninitialized submodules (SSH key issue), but the specific errors you reported are all resolved."

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the failure with a shallow clone containing uninitialized submodules on Windows 10, then trace the repository checkout and verification flow. Done means the app can work with repositories that use submodules without the reported shallow-clone or initialization blockage.
