This is a really exciting idea! Based on your patches, it seems to be a
great opportunity to add extensibility and flexibility to the credential
helper model without huge disruptions to the codebase. Well done!

This!! Yes!!

wwwauth=Bearer realm="login.example", scope="git.readwrite", Basic realm="login.example"
I think sending the fields individually (as you describe in this doc and
implement in your patches) is the right call. In my opinion, it's more
legible, consistent with the remote response, and aligns with your goal of
minimizing authentication-related actions in Git.
