That is rather optimistic - users only run "git maintenance start" once so any unit files that have been written in the past will exist well beyond 2026.

Actually that fails -Werror because I don't check read return.
Alternative below (on top of this one), with one question:
Are VLA using size_t const OK ? It's folded to a constant array by gcc
but I don't know if that causes portability problem with other platforms
? I can always repeat the sizeof expr if it's a problematic construct.

I think it would be easier to use strbuf_read_file() instead - it is only a small file so there is not really any advantage in just reading the first line. Something like

static int systemd_delete_user_unit(const char* unit)
{
	int ret = 0;
	struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
	char *filename = xdg_config_home_for("systemd/user", unit);

	if (strbuf_read_file(&buf, filename, 0) < 0) {
		if (errno != ENOENT)
			ret = error_errno(_("could not read '%s'", filename));
		goto out;
	}
	if (starts_with(buf.buf,
			"# This file was created and is maintained by git.\n") &&
	    unlink(filename))
		ret = error_errno(_("could not remove '%s', filename));

out:
	free(filename);
	strbuf_release(&buf);
	return ret;
}

Best Wishes
