Description
When enabling Pest V5's TIA (Test Impact Analysis) mode in a Dockerized application where the git binary is not installed, the process crashes with a MissingDependency exception: The feature "Tia mode" requires "git".
This prevents running tests with --tia flags in minimal Docker containers.
Reproduction
- Create a Dockerfile without git (common in production images)
- Install dependencies including Pest
- Run ./vendor/bin/pest --tia
- Observe error: The feature "Tia mode" requires "git".

Research direction
Start by tracing TIA mode's git dependency and the MissingDependency exception raised when git is unavailable. Reproduce the failure with ./vendor/bin/pest --tia in a minimal Docker environment, then verify that TIA handles the missing binary without crashing and that normal TIA behavior remains available when git is installed.
