## Summary
Replace the `git.remotes` subsection in bottle manifests with a top-level
`git-gate` key whose `repos` map uses lowercase snake_case field names and
derives the local repo name from the YAML key. The change removes the
ambiguity that the current `git` block carries: its fields are not generic git
or SSH config — they are specifically the credential and host-trust material
the git-gate sidecar needs to mirror each upstream.
Replace the `git` top-level key in bottle and agent manifests with `git-gate`,
consolidating git-identity configuration (`user`) and git-gate sidecar
configuration (`repos`) under a single section. Within `repos`, field names
move to lowercase snake_case and the local repo name is promoted to the YAML
key. The change removes the ambiguity in the current `git` block: its fields
are not generic git or SSH config — they are specifically the credential,
host-trust, and identity material that is managed in relation to git-gate.
## Problem
The current bottle manifest uses a `git` top-level key that mixes two concerns:
- `git.user``git config --global user.name / user.email` identity, which
the provisioner injects into the agent's shell and is not gate-specific.

- `git.remotes` — upstream URL, identity file, and host key material that the
git-gate sidecar consumes; the agent never sees these values.

Splitting `git.user` into a separate section from `git.remotes` also doesn't
help: both concepts exist because of git-gate, and keeping them under a single
`git-gate` key makes their relationship and purpose explicit.
The field names inside each remote entry also use PascalCase (`Name`,
`Upstream`, `IdentityFile`, `KnownHostKey`), inconsistent with every other
manifest section, which uses snake_case.

## Goals / Success Criteria
- `git-gate` is accepted as a top-level bottle key; `git-gate.repos` is a
named map where each key is the local repo name exposed by the gate.
- `git-gate` is accepted as a top-level bottle and agent key; `git` is removed
from both allowed-key sets.
- `git-gate.repos` is a named map where each key is the local repo name
exposed by the gate (bottle-only; rejected at the agent level).
- Each entry in `git-gate.repos` accepts exactly: `url` (required), `identity`
(required), `host_key` (optional).
- The `git.remotes` subkey is removed from the `git` block; `git` accepts only
`user` (unchanged).
- The manifest parser rejects `git.remotes` with an error that points to the
new key.
- `git-gate.user` replaces `git.user` on both bottles and agents, with the
same `name` / `email` fields and overlay semantics.
- The manifest parser rejects `git.remotes` and `git.user` with errors that
point to the new keys.
- `GitEntry` internal fields are updated to match the new names; all callers
(provisioner, git-gate render, plan, tests) compile and pass.
- Existing unit tests in `tests/unit/test_manifest_git.py` are rewritten to
use the new YAML shape; all other manifest unit tests remain green.
- Existing unit tests in `tests/unit/test_manifest_git.py` and
`tests/unit/test_manifest_git_user.py` are rewritten to use the new YAML
shape; all other manifest unit tests remain green.
- The demo manifest (`bot-bottle.demo.json`) and any examples using the old
shape are updated.
## Non-goals
- No change to `git.user` semantics or field names.
- No change to `git.user` / `git-gate.user` semantics or field names (`name`,
`email`).
- No change to git-gate runtime behavior (mirroring, gitleaks, access-hook
refresh).
- No change to the `insteadOf` rewrite the provisioner emits.
- No migration shim: the old `git.remotes` shape is rejected immediately with
a clear error message.
- No change to how agent-level `git.user` overlays the bottle-level value.
- No migration shim: the old `git.*` shape is rejected immediately with clear
error messages pointing to the new keys.
- No change to how agent-level user config overlays the bottle-level value.

### Parser changes
- `manifest_schema.py`: add `"git-gate"` to `BOTTLE_KEYS`; leave `"git"` in
`BOTTLE_KEYS` (it still carries `user`).
- `manifest.py`: add `_parse_git_gate_config(bottle_name, raw)` that validates
the new shape and returns `tuple[GitEntry, ...]`. Update `Bottle.from_dict`
to call it for the `"git-gate"` key.
- `manifest_schema.py`: replace `"git"` with `"git-gate"` in `BOTTLE_KEYS`
and `AGENT_KEYS_OPTIONAL`.
- `manifest.py`: replace `_parse_git_config` with `_parse_git_gate_config`
that validates both `user` and `repos` subkeys. Update `Bottle.from_dict`
and `Agent.from_dict` to call it for the `"git-gate"` key.
- `Agent.from_dict` continues to reject `repos` at the agent level with a
clear error.
- Remove `from_remote_dict` and update `GitEntry._from_object` to accept the
new field names. Internal dataclass field names (`UpstreamUser`, etc.) are
unchanged — they are internal plumbing, not user-facing.
- `_parse_git_config` narrows to reject `remotes` with a helpful error:
- Any existing `"git"` key raises a targeted error:
```
bottle 'dev' git.remotes is no longer supported; declare git-gate upstreams
under 'git-gate.repos' instead (see PRD 0047).
bottle 'dev' uses 'git' which has been replaced by 'git-gate' (PRD 0047).
Move git.user git-gate.user and git.remotes → git-gate.repos.
```
### Error on rejected key
The parser emits the error above whenever `git.remotes` is present, regardless
of whether `git-gate` is also present.

## Open Questions
- **`git.user` on agents after `git` narrows.** Today both bottle and agent
`git` blocks are validated by the same `_parse_git_config` path. After this
change, bottle `git` allows only `user`; agent `git` already only allows
`user`. No code change needed — but confirm the agent-side rejection message
for `git.remotes` still makes sense once `remotes` is also invalid for
bottles (the current message says "remotes is bottle-only"; after this PRD
it's invalid everywhere).
None.
