What Changed

Added GitHub repository suggestions after entering an owner followed by / in the Add Project repository picker.
Added a typed repository-listing operation through the existing source-control provider boundary.
Shared repository input parsing, filtering, and incomplete-input guards across web and mobile.
Kept selection on the existing exact repository lookup and clone path.

Why

The GitHub repository picker previously required the full owner/repository path. Entering only an owner did not show matching repositories, and submitting an incomplete owner path produced a generic lookup failure. Listing repositories at the GitHub provider boundary keeps provider-specific CLI behavior out of the clients while making the expected owner-first workflow available on both web and mobile.

UI Changes

Before, entering owner/ showed no repositories and pressing Enter attempted an invalid exact lookup. After this change, repositories for that owner appear as selectable suggestions and incomplete input is not submitted.

Note

Add GitHub repository suggestions by owner to add-project flow

Added a sourceControl.listRepositories RPC backed by gh repo list --limit 101, returning up to 100 normalized repositories and a truncation flag.
Added shared parsing and filtering utilities in projects.ts to detect GitHub owner/ input, filter cached suggestions by owner, and validate input completeness.
Wired up the mobile add-project screen and web command palette to fetch and display suggestions after the user enters an owner/ prefix, with loading and truncation states.
Authorized the new RPC under the orchestration read scope in RpcAuthorization.ts.
Behavioral Change: GitHubCli.listRepositories caps results at 100 entries and sets isTruncated when more exist; users cannot browse beyond the first 100 repositories for an owner.

🟠 High components/CommandPalette.tsx:2268

The suggestions can show repositories for the previous input while the field displays the new query, so clicking a stale row submits the wrong repository via submitAddProjectCloneFlow. Filter with query (or disable rows while it differs from deferredQuery) so displayed actions match the visible input.

🟡 Medium sourceControl/GitHubCli.ts:470

Owners with more than 100 accessible repositories receive only the first 100 from listRepositories, so repositories beyond that cutoff cannot be selected in the picker. gh repo list --limit 100 is the CLI's maximum and the service exposes neither pagination nor truncation; paginate the results or return a truncation indicator so callers can retrieve the remaining repositories.

Nnaveed949Sep 5, 2026

Fixed in a2bd73921: the CLI requests one extra row and returns a bounded first-100 page plus an explicit truncation flag. The contract and service preserve that flag, and web/mobile explain that an exact owner/repository path can still be entered. Added truncation coverage; focused tests and all affected type checks pass.

A provider that cannot list repositories is reported as a successful empty list, so callers cannot distinguish "unsupported provider" from "owner has no repositories" (the UI renders both as "No repositories found for this owner"). Elsewhere in this module unsupported capabilities stay typed in the error channel (ensureConcreteProvider, and unsupportedProvider in the registry); consider keeping this one typed too.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a new GitHub repository discovery workflow across the UI, RPC contracts, authorization, and server-side GitHub CLI integration. It also changes auth authorization wiring and adds diagnostic suppressions, so the scope and review sensitivity exceed an auto-approvable change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds GitHub repository listing through source-control RPCs and GitHub CLI integration. Mobile and web add-project flows query repositories by owner, filter suggestions, validate repository input, and handle listing errors. Results are limited to 100 entries with truncation reporting.

Server repository listing `apps/server/src/sourceControl/*`, `apps/server/src/git/GitManager.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/ws.ts`	Runs `gh repo list`, decodes repository data, limits results to 100, maps provider and service errors, and validates owner trimming and truncation.
Mobile repository suggestions `apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.tsx`	Queries GitHub repositories by owner, renders matching rows, supports repository overrides, and applies complete-input validation.
Web repository suggestions `apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx`, `packages/client-runtime/src/state/runtime.test.ts`	Displays repository suggestions, reports repository-list failures with a retry action, and validates query isolation across owner and environment changes.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2fcd

Repository suggestions now expose listing failures with a retry action, preserving the existing clone flow and avoiding misleading empty results. No current merge-blocking risk remains.

Preserve repository-list failures.

Line 750 converts a failed list operation into an empty result. Because line 596 disables failure reporting, the UI then shows “No repositories found for this owner” instead of the operation failure. The same owner cannot retry until its parsed input changes.

Store a failure state and render an error message with a retry path.

Note

This comment is posted by Julius' dot

Rejecting incomplete owner input addresses the generic lookup error, but listing that owner's repositories adds a new discovery workflow. The PR and discussion contain no maintainer approval of that direction and scope, as required by prior approval. Please split out the focused input-validation fix, or obtain approval for repository discovery and link it before requesting reconsideration.
