fix(server): a remote behind an SSH host alias is read as github.com - #36377
The rework brief listed nothing to change; this round was the pull request watch on #36377. Two commits were added on top of e484189 in response to bot reviews, and the pull request ends with all 36 checks passing on 7568e52, Macroscope's review APPROVED at that commit, and no open bot finding on it.
64738e1 (CodeRabbit, Major, correct): RepositoryIdentityResolver.pickMarkedRemote compared remotes' hosts as written, so a gh repo set-default OWNER/REPO mark on an alias remote (origin git@gh-work:alice/repo.git) could not reach the marked repository's remote spelled with the real host, and the identity fell back to the fork. All remotes are now canonicalised once and the mark comparison uses the resolved hosts; locators keep the written URLs. The existing OWNER/REPO mark test gained an alias case, which fails without the change.
7568e52 (Macroscope, two Medium findings, both correct; CodeRabbit raised the first as Minor). The brief says to leave findings below high, but after the first push Macroscope's approvability verdict changed to 'Needs Human Approval' naming these two as blocking, and both were real defects in code this fix added, so I fixed them: (1) ssh -G was asked about the host alone, so a Match user block for the remote's user was skipped; it is now asked and cached per user@host, and a user starting with '-' is rejected so it cannot be read as an ssh option. (2) The port-443 endpoint table was a plain object, so a HostName such as constructor read an inherited property and corrupted the canonical URL; it is now a Map. sshRemoteHost.test.ts covers both. After this commit Macroscope's verdict is 'Approved at 7568e52'.
The SSH_REMOTE regex changed in 7568e52: /^((?:ssh://)?)((?:[^-@/:][^@/:]@)?)([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-])([:/].*)?$/. It is anchored with two optional groups and no nested quantifiers; the user group can be retried once, so the worst case is linear with one extra pass over the input.
The overall change is as described for e484189: SourceControlHost.canonicalRemoteUrl resolves an SSH remote's host through ssh -G; the provider registry and repository identity classify by it while git and locators keep the written remote; the GitHub integration reads its remotes through it and its repository lookup accepts a pasted SSH alias remote. Still not exercised end to end in a running app with a real alias in ~/.ssh/config.
On origin/main 9efd960: started T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev in a fresh worktree; created three local git repos whose only remote was git@github.com:pingdotgg/t3code.git, git@github-work:pingdotgg/t3code.git and git@gh-work:pingdotgg/t3code.git; added each as a project with t3 project add; paired headless Chrome to the web client and opened /pull-requests (gh signed in to github.com). Server trace: the github-work project resolved GitHub credentials (that case was fixed by #32932), but for the gh-work project GitHubRest.credential / GitHubCredentials.lookup failed with GitHubNotSignedInError: No GitHub credential for gh-work: run gh auth login --hostname gh-work, and the Forgejo tea login probe also ran and failed, so the project got no forge and its PRs are never fetched. Nothing in discovery calls ssh -G, so an alias that maps to github.com only through ~/.ssh/config is never recognized. Added a test in packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubDiscovery.test.ts that mocks ssh -G gh-work to return hostname github.com and expects GitHub at https://github.com; on main it gets null (1 failed, 11 passed). The clone flow and the GitLab variant from the comments were not exercised.
Evidence
Created three projects with canonical, github-work and gh-work SSH remotes. SSH config maps both aliases to github.com. Opened the real web client's PR inbox scoped to gh-work, using identical filters and a fresh database on each commit. Base remained empty for 90 seconds; head loaded 73 PRs. Chromium 156 on Linux, 1280×800, light theme.
Clone flow was not exercised; projects were created locally with SSH remotes.
Automatic thread settlement after a PR merges was not exercised; no remote PR was modified or merged.
GitLab aliases, user-dependent Match blocks, custom forge hosts and alternate SSH endpoints were not exercised.
Actual git fetch and push through the alias were not exercised.
Tests
For 64738e1: vp test run src/project/RepositoryIdentityResolver.test.ts in apps/server -> 15 passed, 2 failed ('resolves the fetch remote of a partial clone', 'reports a fork's own remote as origin next to the upstream identity'); those two fail on this machine without my changes too, because its global git config rewrites git@github.com: to HTTPS. With the resolver change stashed, the extended OWNER/REPO mark test failed; with it, it passed. vp run typecheck in apps/server -> no errors. For 7568e52: vp test run src/server/sshRemoteHost.test.ts in packages/source-control-core -> 1 passed. vp run check:changed -> unused patches, format, lint, knip, graphql and typecheck (41 packages) passed; test (7 files) failed only on the same two machine-specific identity tests. CI on 7568e52: all 36 checks passed, including the 8 required ones.
Not in this change
Aliases whose HostName is a GitHub Enterprise Server host, and GitLab or other self-hosted forges behind an alias (the GitLab report in the issue comments), are still unknown; only github.com is resolved.
The repository identity keeps the alias in its canonical key (gh-work/owner/repo) and provider 'unknown', exactly as the already-supported github-work alias does today, so the same repository reached through different aliases on two machines still does not group into one project.
The clone flow ('new project from GitHub' rejecting an alias host and falling back to HTTPS) is untouched.
Discovery and the provider each build their own ssh alias cache; sharing one would halve the lookups but needs a new service.
A dotted written host whose HostName is a non-public server (for example Host git.corp.example with HostName gitlab.corp.example) is deliberately left as written, so such an alias is still classified by its written name.
GitManager and AgentSessionScanner still normalise remotes as written, so they can disagree with the identity's key for an alias checkout.
The GitLab, Forgejo, Bitbucket and other integrations' own repository lookups do not accept a pasted SSH remote; only GitHub's does, as the item asked.
The CLI's project command builds RepositoryIdentityResolver without the resolver, so t3 project add reads remotes as written; the running server resolves the identity itself.
Two RepositoryIdentityResolver tests depend on the machine having no url.insteadOf rewrite for github.com; they were left as they are.
A dotted written host whose HostName is a non-public server is deliberately left as written, so such an alias is still classified by its written name.
Only GitHub's repository lookup accepts a pasted SSH remote; the other integrations' lookups are unchanged.

…vered as GitHub
Failing reproduction for #17805: a remote such as git@gh-work:owner/repo.git,
whose ~/.ssh/config HostName is github.com, is not recognised as GitHub.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A checkout cloned through an SSH host alias whose name does not contain
"github" (git@gh-work:owner/repo.git, with HostName github.com in
~/.ssh/config) was classified by the alias text alone. GitHub credentials
were looked up under the alias, failed, and the project got no forge: no
pull request sync, no settle on merge, an empty inbox.
The GitHub integration now asks `ssh -G <alias>` where an SSH remote's
host leads when its spelling does not already say github.com, and treats
a HostName of github.com (or ssh.github.com) as github.com for the API
host and its credential. The answer is cached per host for five minutes.
Git keeps using the alias, and the remote's recognised base URL is
unchanged, so alias checkouts are not grouped with other hosts' projects.
Fixes#17805

… it to
The first pass resolved aliases inside the GitHub integration only, and
kept nothing but github.com. A self-hosted GitLab behind an alias stayed
unknown, and a pasted alias remote could not be looked up for cloning.
The source control host now answers `canonicalRemoteUrl`: an SSH remote
with its host replaced by the HostName `ssh -G` reports, cached per host.
The provider registry classifies remotes and callers' contexts by it, and
the repository identity takes its key and provider from it, so every
integration sees the server the alias leads to. Git and the identity's
locator keep the remote as written. A dotted host is replaced only by a
public forge, since it may be the web host with its SSH endpoint elsewhere.
The GitHub integration reads its checkout's remotes through the same
answer, and its repository lookup now accepts an SSH remote: it asks the
API on the resolved host and returns the pasted URL to clone.
Fixes#17805

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — SSH aliases now identify the configured source-control host for repository discovery and GitHub operations, while Git retains the original remote URL. Bounded, cached configuration lookups and fallback behavior limit the exposure of this compatibility fix.

Walkthrough
The source-control stack now resolves supported SSH aliases through ssh -G and uses canonical URLs for provider recognition, repository identity, and GitHub lookups. Original remotes remain available for locators and SSH clone URLs. The server and test hosts expose the canonicalization service, with alias-resolution tests added.
The source-control host now provides canonical remote URL resolution through SSH configuration lookup. The resolver handles supported SSH URL forms and leaves URLs unchanged when lookup or validation does not produce a replacement.
Use canonical URLs for identity and provider selection apps/server/src/project/RepositoryIdentityResolver.ts, apps/server/src/project/RepositoryIdentityResolver.test.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts, apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlProviderRegistry.ts, apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlProviderRegistry.test.ts
Repository identity and provider selection use canonical URLs. Repository locators and provider contexts retain the written remote URL.
Apply canonical URLs to provider lookups packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.test.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubDiscovery.test.ts, packages/source-control-gitlab/src/server/gitLabDiscovery.test.ts
GitHub remote, repository, and checkout lookups use canonical URLs. SSH clone results retain the pasted URL. Discovery tests cover aliases resolving to GitHub and GitLab hosts.

Explanation
The title names the primary change: a remote behind an SSH host alias was read as github.com. The changeset resolves SSH aliases via ssh -G to canonical hosts for provider classification, identity, and GitHub lookup. The title uses the fix(server) conventional format and is specific enough for a reviewer to understand the main change. The title is not overly broad and does not describe off-topic work.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Direct issue #17805 is open and active. Its core requirement is that SSH alias remotes resolve to the real host before provider classification, so PR sync and identity work. The change set implements this. SourceControlHost.canonicalRemoteUrl uses sshRemoteHost.ts, which runs ssh -G. SourceControlProviderRegistry classifies remotes by the canonical URL. RepositoryIdentityResolver derives canonicalKey, provider and origin key from it, while locator.remoteUrl and origin.remoteUrl keep the written URL for Git. Tests cover the gh-work and github.work cases in the registry, identity, and GitHub discovery suites, and a GitLab alias case in discovery. The GitHub clone lookup now accepts a pasted SSH remote and returns the pasted URL, which addresses the clone symptom for typed input. Issue #23909 is closed and adds no active requirements. The 'new project from GitHub' list flow and GitHub Enterprise or self-hosted alias support remain excluded. The PR documents these exclusions, and the issue's clone-flow suggestion is only partly covered. The PR-sync requirement is met. End-to-end behaviour in a running app is not verified.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Every listed change serves the alias-resolution objective or its tests. This includes the shared SourceControlHost contract and its implementations (ServerSourceControlHost, TestSourceControlHost), the new sshRemoteHost resolver and its package export, the registry, identity resolver and server wiring, the GitHub provider and discovery changes, the GitLab discovery test, and the matching tests. The GitHub clone lookup change addresses the pasted-SSH clone symptom in #17805. The PR states that PullRequestService, GitManager, and AgentSessionScanner are unchanged. No unrelated change was identified in the summary.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description contains the substantive sections the template asks for. Problem is covered: the issue #17805 behavior where an SSH alias remote is read as an unknown host, with a reproduction on main. Change is covered: SSH host resolution through ssh -G, canonical identity and classification, and locators keeping the written URLs. Verification is covered: targeted tests, the failing-on-base result, and before/after evidence. The Scope section is weaker. It links issue #17805 and explains the bug, but it does not clearly state that a maintainer requested the work. The description also repeats several items in the Not in this change section, and it includes process narration about bot reviews and a rework brief that does not help a reviewer. Those points do not block the check. The required information is present, so the description is mostly complete.

comparing marked remotes, while retaining the written URLs for locators; extend
the existing marked-remote test to cover different aliases resolving to the same
host.
Review comments at @packages/source-control-core/src/server/sshRemoteHost.ts:
- Line 50: Update the SSH lookup to pass the parsed remote user and host as the
target to `ssh -G`, stripping any `ssh://` scheme, and use that same
user-qualified target in the cache key. Reject usernames beginning with `-` so
they cannot be interpreted as SSH options, leaving affected remote URLs
unchanged. Add a case to the existing `sshRemoteHost` test verifying that a
`Match user` block applies to the remote user.

The marked repository was matched against the remotes' hosts as written,
so a mark on an alias remote could not reach the same repository's remote
spelled with the real host, and the identity fell back to the fork.
Hosts are now compared after ssh config resolves them.

`ssh -G` was asked about the host alone, so a `Match user` block for the
remote's user was skipped and the alias stayed unresolved; the answer is
now read and cached per user and host. The port-443 endpoint table is a
Map, so a HostName such as `constructor` no longer reads an inherited
object property.
