ListObjects is currently not supported for this artifact typ

Error message

ListObjects is currently not supported for this artifact type, but it will be in a future version

What it means

git ArtifactDriver.ListObjects is not implemented — it unconditionally returns this error. Any code path that tries to enumerate objects for a git artifact (e.g. artifact GC listing or browsing) hits this permanent capability gap.

Solutions

  1. Do not call ListObjects for git artifacts; treat git as non-listable
  2. Use an object-store artifact type when listing is required
Defensive patterns

Strategy: fallback
