This SSH-to-HTTPS rewrite changes the auth behavior compared to circleci's built-in checkout. For private repos where CIRCLE_REPOSITORY_URL is SSH, this can turn an authenticated checkout into an anonymous HTTPS fetch. Since circleci's built-in checkout is a special step with integration-specific credential handling, a custom git fetch may not be a drop-in replacement for private repos, especially GitHub App HTTPS pipelines.

Slight improvement: could avoid the sleep here if all 3 attempts failed

Summary
Recent develop failures happened before tests ran because CircleCI checkout failed with empty checkout metadata or SSH transport errors.
Add a shared
checkout-codecommand that checks outCIRCLE_SHA1over HTTPS with retries and HEAD verification. Updatecheckout-with-miseto reuse it before installing mise.
