   14% of staff cut and exit from 22 countries; framed as restructuring to fund a rebuild of the platform for AI/agentic workloads rather than AI directly replacing the roles.

   CEO Bill Staples: 'Agents work at machine scale, and they're pushing competitors to the brink. This quarter we began a generational rebuild of git to support the scale and features required for 100x growth.'
