Function has_status_hints_override 

pub fn has_status_hints_override(global_prefix: &[OsString]) -> bool

What: Whether the caller configured advice.statusHints in the global options before the subcommand. global_prefix is exactly those tokens. Why: git -c advice.statusHints=true status keeps Git’s hints; the wrapper neither overrides the choice nor adds its own note. Gotcha: Divergence from the incumbent: --config-env sets the same key and counts too.

In TS you’d write (pseudocode):

function parseStatusPreRegion(pre: readonly string[]): { hasStatusHintsOverride: boolean };
