Problem

On mobile, pasting a full pairing link such as http://100.82.53.91:3773/pair#token=… into Add environment → Address keeps the whole link in Address and leaves Code empty. Desktop's Add environment dialog splits the same paste into the server address and the pairing code. If Code already holds an older code, mobile submits that stale code instead of the link's token.

Repro: on a remote machine, create a pairing link. On mobile, open Settings → Environments → Add environment and paste the link into Address.

Change

handleHostChange in ConnectionsNewRouteScreen.tsx runs the existing parsePairingUrl on each Address change. When the value contains a token, both fields are set from the parsed host and code. Otherwise the raw edit is kept and Code is left alone, so typing, editing, or clearing an address never touches a manually entered code. This matches desktop's handleSavedBackendHostChange.

No parser, contract, server, or web changes. Both mobile entry points (ConnectionsNew and SettingsEnvironmentNew) render this form. QR scanning keeps its own path.

Scope and approval

A small fix for an obvious bug: mobile's Add environment form doesn't handle the pasted pairing link the way desktop does.

Related:

  • #22910 targeted the stale Code part at submit time, in buildPairingUrl, and was closed in favor of this PR. Here the pasted link's token replaces Code as soon as it lands in Address, so Address never holds a token at submit and the form shows the code that will be used.
  • #5596 proposed the same paste split and was closed during model-based cleanup, not on its merits.

Verification

  • New test in ConnectionsNewRouteScreen.test.tsx: splits a pasted pairing link and preserves the code during address edits. On main it fails with the reported symptom (Address keeps http://100.82.53.91:3773/pair#token=test-pairing-code). With this change it passes.
  • vp test run src/features/connection/ConnectionsNewRouteScreen.test.tsx src/features/connection/pairing.test.ts: 7 passed.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, typecheck, knip, adjacent tests, and the React Compiler check all pass.
  • Android emulator (Android 16, dev client built from this branch), using real Paste from the native text menu with a fake token:
    • Before (main): Address keeps the whole link, Code empty.
    • After: Address http://100.82.53.91:3773, Code test-pairing-code.
    • A pasted link replaces a manually entered Code. Pasting a second link over the selected address replaces both fields.
    • Clearing Address, or typing http://100.82.53.92:3773/ one character at a time, leaves the address as typed and keeps a manual Code.
    • Fragment-token, query-token, and hosted app.t3.codes/pair?host=…#token=… links all split correctly.
    • Real submit: a fresh link from an isolated dev server, pasted and submitted, connected.

Recordings (real Paste from the Android text menu): before, after

Not checked: iOS (this is shared React Native JS with no platform branch) and QR scanning (unchanged).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 3aff395

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Pasting a pairing link into Address now fills both Address and Code using the existing parser. Connection still requires explicit submission, keeping the change limited to form entry.

Walkthrough

The connection form now parses pairing URLs entered in the Address field. When parsing finds a code, the form updates both the host and code. Tests cover pasted URLs and verify that later Address edits preserve a manually entered code.

Changes: Pairing URL input

Layer / File(s)Summary
Parse pairing URLs and verify field updates
apps/mobile/src/features/connection/ConnectionsNewRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/connection/ConnectionsNewRouteScreen.test.tsx
The Address change handler parses pairing URLs and updates the host and code when a code is present. Tests cover pasted URLs and confirm that later Address edits preserve a manually entered code.

Keep partially typed pairing links in the Address field.

When a user types a pairing URL, the first token character makes pairing.code nonempty. The handler then replaces the Address with the host, so later characters no longer extend the token. The previous handler allowed the complete URL to be submitted when Code was empty. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Distinguish a paste from incremental typing, or defer extraction for incremental edits.

Desktop's Add environment dialog (handleSavedBackendHostChange) splits on every change in the same way. This PR brings mobile in line with that. Typing a full pairing link by hand on a phone isn't a realistic path, since the link is pasted or scanned and a hand-typed code goes in the Code field. The split is also visible before submit, so it can't silently connect with a truncated code. Leaving this as is to keep the two clients consistent.

@Padi142 Understood. Pairing links are intended to be pasted or scanned, while manually entered codes use the Code field. The split is visible before submission. I withdraw the request to distinguish pasting from incremental typing.
