Description

Randomly, configure_apply fails because it doesn't find the expected commit hash.
If the user pulls the repository manually, everything works as expected.

It seems to happen more frequently when the repository is on a very old commit hash, so it may be related to some missing file in the repository that the tool now checks before trying to pull it.

Research direction

Start at the configure_apply entry point and reproduce the failure using a repository at an old commit hash. Compare its behavior with a manual pull and verify that configure_apply consistently finds the expected commit and pulls the latest version without requiring user intervention.
