Layer 4 of 9 in the source-control plugin boundary stack: forge knowledge (GitHub, GitCafe, GitLab, Forgejo, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) moves into packages/source-control-<forge>, and shared, contracts, server and clients ask forge-neutral hooks in source-control-core instead.

GitManager, the git driver and VcsProcess still held forge knowledge: every host's change request head was fetched from GitHub's refs/pull//head (the review guide guessed GitHub's then GitLab's), GitManager imported GitHub's GH_REPO/gh-resolved resolution and ran it for every forge, guessed a fork's owner/repo from a GitHub-shaped URL, matched change request routes with its own regex, and kept a per-forge terminology table in shared; the driver wrote and read gh's branch..gh-merge-base for every host; VcsProcess matched gh/glab/az sign-in and not-found strings and throttled gh by command name, and the contracts error picked "Merge request"/"Pull request" by CLI name.

Forges now answer through hooks. Client definitions gain changeRequestHeadRef (GitHub and Forgejo refs/pull//head, GitLab refs/merge-requests//head; Bitbucket Cloud, Azure DevOps and GitCafe publish none). Source control providers gain createsChangeRequestsIn (GitHub: GH_REPO and gh-resolved) and recordBranchBase (GitHub writes gh-merge-base so gh pr create in a T3 worktree picks the base). The git driver fetches a given ref (fetchRefIntoBranch, fetchRefCommit), records the base under T3's own branch..t3-merge-base and reads gh-merge-base only as a fallback for branches cut before. Process input carries a forge classifier, a not-found detail and a concurrency key; GitLab and Azure DevOps supply theirs, and gh keeps its limit of four through the GitHub package. GitManager reads terminology from the registry's definitions and change request repositories through parseChangeRequestUrl, and no longer imports any forge package.

Behaviour changes: a GitLab merge request with no reachable head branch is checked out from refs/merge-requests//head. Other hosts no longer receive gh-merge-base. A fork whose host does not name its head repository is no longer guessed from the base repository's name.

Walkthrough

The change moves change-request refs, repository targeting, terminology, and branch-base handling into source-control clients and providers. It replaces pull-request-specific Git fetch operations with ref-based operations and adds configurable failure classification and keyed concurrency for host CLI processes.

Changes: Source-control provider integration

Layer / File(s)Summary
Provider-selected change-request refs
packages/source-control-core/..., packages/source-control-{forgejo,github,gitlab}/client/definition.ts, apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReviewGuideService.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts, related tests
Client definitions expose provider-specific head refs. GitManager and the review guide use these refs, and GitVcsDriver fetches caller-supplied refs. Tests include GitLab worktree preparation from its merge-request head ref.
Provider repository targeting and branch-base sharing
packages/source-control-core/src/server/SourceControlProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts, packages/shared/src/sourceControl.ts, apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts
Provider hooks determine repository targets and record branch bases. GitManager resolves change-request terminology through clients and shares branch-base data with providers. GitHub implements repository-target and branch-base hooks.
Git branch-base storage and lookup
apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts
GitVcsDriver writes the T3 branch-base key and reads the legacy GitHub key when the T3 value is absent. Tests check the T3 key and use the generic ref-fetch API.
Host-process classification and concurrency
apps/server/src/vcs/VcsProcess.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/VcsProcess.test.ts, packages/contracts/src/vcs.ts, packages/source-control-core/src/server/SourceControlHost.ts, packages/source-control-{azure-devops,gitlab}/src/server/*, packages/source-control-github/src/server/*
Process inputs accept custom failure classifiers, not-found details, and keyed concurrency. Azure DevOps and GitLab add CLI failure classifiers. GitHub CLI calls use a keyed concurrency limit.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This is a broad source-control/VCS refactor that changes existing checkout, push, review-guide, subprocess classification, and concurrency behavior across multiple providers. The shared infrastructure changes and authentication-related error handling warrant human review despite the accompanying tests.

apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts:2858-2860 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Verify the upstream commit before refreshing a reused request worktree.

If a host has no change-request head ref, this fallback accepts any upstream whose name ends with /${pullRequest.headBranch}. For a closed request whose branch has since advanced, refreshCheckedOutBranch can fast-forward a clean worktree to a later commit and report isOnPullRequestHead: true. Use the request’s head SHA to verify the target when available. Do not treat a closed request’s current upstream as its head without that verification.

[Opus 5.5][Claude Code] on behalf of shivam.

Findings on #24304 from my run, in case they help. I didn't test this PR.

Reproduced on main (b24e8ce) on a POCO F4 (Android 14) running the T3 Code Dev client, connected to an isolated dev server. The server had two test projects: one with origin pingdotgg/t3code and one whose origin is a GitHub repo the token can't see. Pull requests showed only <owner>/<repo> could not be read., both with a token saved in Settings and with just the gh login.

Cause: GitHubPullRequestApi.listPullRequests falls back to the repository list when search comes back empty. GitHub answers that with NOT_FOUND, which becomes GitHubApiNotFoundError → PullRequestProviderError { reason: "not-found" }. PullRequestService.readSlice then replaces every failure with the same sentence (Effect.orElseSucceed). GitHub gives the same NOT_FOUND for a repo outside a fine-grained token's selection and for one that doesn't exist.

What I tried in #24350 (now superseded by this PR):

  • Optional accessHint on PullRequestProviderError, set only by GitHub. The other providers' not-found detail strings talk about a missing PR/MR ("Merge request X was not found"), which would read wrong next to a repository.
  • GitHubRequestPolicy.credential also returns the credential source (settings / env / gh).
  • The listing runs pinned to that credential (PinnedGitHubCredential), so the hint names the token GitHub actually refused even if it changes mid-read. Macroscope flagged that race, first for looking the credential up after the failure, then for a before/after fingerprint check that misses an A→B→A switch.
  • The saved-token wording says "overrides the server's environment token (such as GH_TOKEN)", because on an enterprise host it overrides GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN, not GH_TOKEN.

Results on the F4: the message named the right credential in both cases. New tests fail on main and pass with the change. All 8 required checks were green on that branch.

Saved token, before → after:

gh login only, before → after:

Not tested: a real fine-grained token limited to some repositories.

Review follow-up on 03c3e30:

  • prcomment_01m5pk5sedf44s0mrmvbgpc73c FIXED: real, and a regression from main, which wrote gh-merge-base itself before pushing. GitManager.pushCurrentBranch now hands the recorded base to the host after every successful push, not only when no base was recorded before it. Added a test in which the remote rejects the first push and the retry still reports the base. It fails without the fix.
