Problem

Switching git@[2001:db8::1]:org/repo.git to HTTPS produces https://[2001/db8::1]:org/repo.git, which is not a valid URL. The SCP matcher splits at the first colon inside the IPv6 address, while the URI matchers reject bracketed hosts. The shared helper feeds the server's existing HTTPS retry after SSH rejection and the client's protocol selector.

Change

Treat a bracketed host as one token in the SCP-style, SSH URI and HTTP(S) URI patterns. Keep the existing port guard, credentials handling and path spelling. Exclude square brackets from the plain SCP host alternative so an absolute-path bracketed remote cannot backtrack into a partial host. Extend the existing conversion/refusal tests.

Scope and approval

This is a very small, focused obvious-bug fix: valid Git remotes are misparsed by an established protocol conversion operation. Only the shared parser and adjacent test change, with no setting, product default, dependency or diagnostic suppression.

The IPv6 problem was also noted in #27845. A maintainer explicitly separated it from that password fix; that comment is scope context, not approval of this implementation. The targeted duplicate audit inspected changed-file lists for 418 candidate open PRs and relevant source in 12 related PRs, including #27845, #24886 and #24904. None contains this IPv6 repair. This is a targeted check, not an exhaustive guarantee.

Verification

From packages/shared:

sh
1../../node_modules/.bin/vp test run src/cloneUrl.test.ts --config ../../vite.config.ts --maxWorkers=1

Before the fix, the two extended cases fail and 20 pass. Afterward, all 22 pass in 656 ms. The additions cover IPv6 SCP addresses with/without userinfo, SSH URI to HTTPS, HTTPS to SSH, explicit-port refusal and preservation of same-protocol port-bearing URLs. Existing Azure and credential cases remain covered. The absolute-path SCP refusal assertions also cover hostname and IPv6 forms with/without userinfo. That existing case fails on the first published commit with a malformed HTTPS URL; after the follow-up all 22 cases pass.

A standalone loop through the real helper reproduces four IPv6 failures before the fix and zero afterward, with an ordinary hostname as its control. Native Git also parses the IPv6 input using a local capture script as its SSH transport:

text
1input: git@[2001:db8::1]:org/repo.git
2Git passes host: git@2001:db8::1
3Git passes command: git-upload-pack 'org/repo.git'

The capture transport deliberately exits before any connection. No remote clone/authentication, native macOS/Windows or real client session was tested. This changes no UI rendering.

Changed-file format/lint and narrowed TypeScript checks pass. Fallow 3.33.1's six-file snapshot includes both production consumers; its audit passes with native helper coverage, with one inherited unused-test entrypoint finding. Its review judgment has a current accepted anchor. This is not a full-workspace analysis or proof of correctness.

vp run check:changed was attempted on one CPU with a 60-second budget. Its format and lint steps pass; knip cannot load the unrelated local pdfjs-dist/package.json dependency, and the remaining checks are incomplete. The focused tests and narrowed typecheck above pass separately. The commit uses a per-command pre-commit bypass because that hook invokes repo-wide knip; focused format/lint were run separately.

Independent GPT Daybreak Blue review through Codex, high reasoning effort: APPROVE on the initial IPv6 patch. The subsequent absolute-path SCP guard is verified with the focused red/green test, native helper loop and scoped Fallow review.

Implemented with GPT-6.1 Sol, high reasoning effort, through the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 2287ce4

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable β€” The change preserves bracketed IPv6 hosts when switching clone protocols. Existing custom-port restrictions and explicit-SSH fallback protection remain unchanged, keeping the impact limited to URL compatibility.

Walkthrough

The clone URL patterns now match bracketed IPv6 hosts. Tests cover conversions between scp-style SSH, ssh://, and HTTPS forms, plus custom-port and empty-path cases.

Changes: IPv6 clone URL handling

Layer / File(s)Summary
IPv6 URL matching and conversion tests
packages/shared/src/cloneUrl.ts, packages/shared/src/cloneUrl.test.ts
The scp-style SSH, ssh://, and HTTPS patterns accept bracketed IPv6 hosts. Tests cover protocol conversions, verify that custom-port URLs are rejected for cross-protocol conversion and preserved for same-protocol requests, and check rejection of scp-style URLs with empty paths.

Reject bracketed absolute-path SCP hosts in the plain-host alternative.

git@[2001:db8::1]:/srv/repo.git is a valid Git SCP form. The new bracketed alternative fails on the leading /, so the plain-host alternative matches the partial host [2001. The result is an HTTPS URL with the wrong host, https://[2001/db8::1]:/srv/repo.git. That URL is offered as the HTTPS option in the clone dialog and used by the HTTPS retry, and it cannot reach the intended host. Absolute-path SCP inputs are already refused for non-bracketed hosts, so this input should also be refused.

  • fix(shared): refuse absolute IPv6 SCP protocol rewrites2287ce4

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at 2287ce49ea47dddaabb54f00154d41ba830e2d8d on linux, using the real dev web app, repository Playwright, and /usr/bin/google-chrome. no source changes or pushes were needed.

  • on github/main (9e85538535), add project β†’ git url β†’ clone with git@[::1]:org/repo.git reproduced the bug: ssh host-key rejection triggered https fallback, which failed with URL rejected: Bad IPv6 address because the rewritten url contained https://[/:1]:org/repo.git/.
  • on the exact pr head, the same input cloned successfully through the app. the source was a real git repository created through the app and committed by a real codex gpt-6.1-sol turn, served over ipv6 loopback https with a locally trusted certificate. this used real git, ssh rejection, tls, and git object transfer, with no mocked transport or provider.
  • a second real codex gpt-6.1-sol turn in the clone read the expected file and reported its https ipv6 origin and matching commit.
  • neighboring flows passed through the same web clone flow: ordinary hostname ssh-to-https fallback, ipv6 ssh:// fallback, and direct ipv6 https with explicit port 443. an ipv6 ssh url with explicit port 22 retained the original ssh failure without an https retry.

Not verified

native electron, ios, android, macos, and windows clients were not exercised on this linux vm. the add-to-another-machine protocol selector was not exercised because this run used one environment and one dev server at a time. external ipv6 hosting, relay/tunnel connections, successful ssh authentication, and other agent providers were not exercised. ipv6 transfer was verified over loopback, rather than an external ipv6 route.
