fix: explain clone credential failures and show the clone environment - #31693
When a clone in Add project fails because Git has no usable credentials, T3 Code shows Git's raw stderr, such as remote: Repository not found. fatal: repository 'https://github.com/<owner>/<private-repo>/' not found or fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled. Nothing says the failure is about credentials on the environment that ran the clone, or that git clone never uses the token saved in Settings → Source control: that token only serves provider API calls such as the repository lookup. So the reporter's "save a token in Settings and retry" could not help. The clone confirm step also never names the environment the clone will run on.
Reproduced on main (a09aef3) in the web client with one environment: Add project → Git URL → https://github.com/416p0rkch0ps/Vantage → the banner reads "Failed to clone Vantage — remote: Repository not found. …". With a local remote that answers 401, it reads "fatal: could not read Username … terminal prompts disabled".
Change
SourceControlRepositoryService leads clone failures with a short explanation when Git reports a credential failure (authentication_failed) or fatal: repository '…' not found: "Git could not authenticate." / "The repository was not found, or Git's credentials cannot access it.", then "Clones use this environment's Git credentials, not a token saved in Settings." Git's own lines follow, because hosts explain rejected credentials there. The explanation comes first because clients clamp the error (one line inline on web, four lines in the web toast, three lines on mobile). Other failures keep Git's output unchanged. When an SSH attempt falls back to HTTPS and both fail, the note appears once, at the front.
The web command palette's clone confirm step shows "Clones on " on its own line under the repository URL when more than one environment is saved.
The GitHub section of the source control guide says cloning uses the server's Git credentials, not a token saved in Settings, and how to set them up.
No contract change. Mobile and the MCP clone tool show the new text through the same server error.
vp test run apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlRepositoryService.test.ts: 33 passed. The new and changed cases fail on main: credential failure, credential failure with the host's own explanation kept, repository not found (guidance precedes Git's lines and the lines are kept), SSH and HTTPS both rejecting credentials, and SSH host-key failure followed by an HTTPS credential failure (note leads once).
vp run check:changed after merging main: format, lint, knip, typecheck (4 packages), tests (5 files), React compiler all pass.

These tests reproduce #31664: when a clone fails because Git
has no usable credentials or the remote reports the repository as not found,
the error detail is only Git's raw stderr. It should say this is a credential
problem on the environment running the clone and that Git uses that
environment's own credentials, not the token saved in Settings.
…ironment
When a clone failed because Git had no usable credentials, or the remote
reported the repository as not found, the error was Git's raw stderr. Users
saved a GitHub token in Settings and retried, but clones never use that token.
The clone error now says Git could not authenticate (or that the remote reports
the repository as not found, as it does for private repositories the
credentials cannot see), and that clones use the Git credentials of the
environment running them, not the token saved in Settings. The SSH-to-HTTPS
fallback states that note once. The web clone confirm step names the target
environment when more than one is saved.
Fixes#31664
Review follow-up. A rejected credential is explained by the host in Git's own
output, so the clone error keeps those lines and appends where clone
credentials come from instead of replacing them. The clone confirm step shows
the environment on its own line so a long URL cannot truncate it, and the
GitHub section of the source control guide says clones use the server's Git
credentials rather than the saved token.
Review follow-up. Mobile shows three lines of a clone error and web toasts
four, so the explanation and the note that clones use the environment's Git
credentials now come before Git's own lines instead of after them. The source
control guide says clones do not use a token saved in Settings, which stays
true when `gh auth setup-git` makes Git use the GitHub CLI's login.
…note
Review follow-up. When SSH fails on an untrusted host key and the HTTPS retry
has no credentials, only the HTTPS half carried the note, so it sat after the
SSH text where clients clamp it away. The combined message now states the
note once, first.

The command palette displays the clone environment when multiple environments are available. Clone failure details now include credential guidance and Git error output. The source-control guide explains which Git credentials cloning uses.
Clone failure details provide credential guidance for authentication and matching repository-not-found errors. Combined SSH and HTTPS failures include the guidance once and retain Git output. Tests cover these cases, and the guide explains that cloning uses the server’s Git credentials.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #31664 requires the destination to be explicit and preserved. The PR adds credential-failure guidance and shows the clone environment in the confirmation step when multiple environments exist. It does not change or test destination selection or preservation. The credential guidance also distinguishes authentication failures from a repository that is actually missing or inaccessible.
Resolution
Implement and test explicit destination selection and preservation in the clone flow, as required by #31664.

On the inconclusive Linked Issues check: this PR does not change where a clone runs or which destination it uses. The confirm step's new "Clones on " line reads addProjectCloneFlow.environmentId, the same value submitAddProjectCloneFlow already sends with the clone request, so the line names the environment that receives the clone. Which environment Add project opens on, and the per-environment default destination, are unchanged on purpose. This PR makes the target visible and explains which credentials the clone uses; it does not change those defaults.

Keep the full environment label visible.
On a narrow screen, truncate can hide the distinguishing suffix of a long environment label. Users cannot then confirm which environment will receive the clone. Allow the label to wrap or provide a way to reveal it in full.

Real web app, Chromium, dark theme, 1280×800 CSS pixels; target environment Clone sandbox on both sides. Separate worktrees and fresh databases; synthetic data only.
Steps: Add project → local environment → Git URL → enter the synthetic private HTTPS URL → inspect destination confirmation → submit clone → open failure details. Real Git received HTTP 401 from the local fixture. This proves the authentication-failure presentation; it does not prove successful access from a credentialed second environment.
Matching error crops followed pixel-identical full screenshots at least 500 ms apart. Recording redactions cover unrelated metadata and the destination input.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
The exact external-private-repository scenario with credentials available on only one of two distinctly named environments was not reproduced; the local HTTPS fixture always returns HTTP 401.
Saving a provider token in Settings was not exercised; the capture proves the explanation text, not that credential-source distinction experimentally.
Repository-not-found handling and combined SSH-to-HTTPS failure guidance were not exercised; reproduction used HTTPS authentication failure.
Desktop and mobile were not exercised; evidence covers the real web client and server.
