Description
### Describe the bug
When fetching from a remote host that is not present in known_hosts, the fetch task gets stuck indefinitely instead of failing or prompting for host verification.
This usually happens on first contact with a new SSH remote.
### To Reproduce
1. Ensure the remote host is not present in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
2. Configure a repository with an SSH remote pointing to that host
3. Run the fetch shortcut
4. Observe that the fetch task never completes
### Expected behavior
The fetch operation should:
- Prompt for SSH host verification or
- Fail with a clear error indicating the host is unknown or
- implicitly accept new host
