Problem

When a linked pull request has no matching project checkout, PR details can borrow another project's host credentials. Resolve, Fix, and Checkout then use that unrelated directory to fetch the PR or create a worktree.

Change

Validate the resolved pull request's base and head repository identities against the checkout's remotes before either local or worktree preparation changes git state. Return the existing checkout error when neither matches. Read fallback continues to work. Raw and rewritten remote URLs preserve local mirrors, insteadOf shorthand, and the existing GitHub SSH alias mapping. Provider refinement retains supported Forgejo SSH identities; HTTP ports and serving URL prefixes distinguish separate repositories. The committed browser fixture is registered as an intended Knip entry, and both seeders use fixture.json for the repository root.

Scope and approval

Fixes #16455 GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/16455 Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. This fixes the wrong-repository mutation reported in #16455.

Related work: #20727, #20728.

Verification

Additional visible difference: successful baseline draft shows Astra, while the refused handoff shows Sol. This is included in the evidence comparison.

  • On main e075957, the wrong-checkout regression fails with expected 'Success' to be 'Failure': red output.
  • At 7ec918e, vp test run src/git/GitManager.test.ts from apps/server passes all 115 tests: full output. Coverage includes both refusal modes before fetch, HTTP ports, different serving roots, mounted HTTPS/SSH forks, URL rewrites and GitHub SSH aliases. The two serving-root refusal cases fail before the correction: red assertions.
  • Two isolated final source reviews (GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5) found no blocking findings at 7ec918e.
  • Targeted lint and format passed at the production guard revision. A scoped server typecheck exposed four test-scenario literal-widening errors; 21d4399 gives both scenarios the existing FakeGhScenario type. The local typecheck process timed out after emitting diagnostics. CI on 21d4399 subsequently passed all 30 checks, including Build and Typecheck, all server/web tests, lint, CodeRabbit and Macroscope. The fixture temporary-root check accepts a resolved /tmp symlink and rejects the temporary directory itself, sibling paths and escapes; verified with a Python symlink diagnostic. Production code is unchanged by this follow-up.

Evidence

The paired captures below remain pinned to their recorded revisions. Later server-only identity corrections are verified by focused regression tests; the captures are not relabelled to the latest head.

Before e075957; after 060ffe0. Real isolated dev apps, Chromium 154 on Linux, DPR 2, 100% visual scale, system UI font, 1440×900 and 390×844 CSS pixels. Client clock fixed at 2026-10-22 04:30 UTC; server and video clocks remain real. Matching initial thread state, sidebar, panel tab, scroll, and theme. No masks.

For each pair: open the linked PR panel → Check out → In a separate worktree → await the terminal outcome. Baseline adds a fork remote and attempts the fetch; the dark narrow baseline completes checkout in the unrelated project. The fixed version refuses the unrelated checkout in every cell.

Before: 00:00 initial linked details; ≈00:02.0 Checkout menu visible; ≈00:02.5 unrelated draft/preparing visible; ≈00:43.1 slow-request warning still visible; ≈00:45.6 green Checked out success visible; success remains through ≈00:54.4.

The terminal error text, wrapping, toast height, copy control, shadows, timing, pointer/focus states, and video compression differ. In the successful dark narrow baseline, worktree/branch controls and the draft model label also differ (Astra before, Sol after); both drafts remain empty. Initial layout/content match closely, with remaining glyph/icon/cursor and compressed-region pixel differences. No zero-difference claim.

Local checkout and dismiss/retry recording: local refusal → click its close control → reload and reopen the linked panel → worktree retry → refusal → click the close control. The clip ends before the final toast visibly clears.

Latest integrated real-client check at 4f61cbc: Chromium 154 Linux, CSS 1280×800, DPR 2, real clock. Recording starts 06:28:11.824 UTC at the linked panel; Check out → In a separate worktree → mismatch refusal visible by 06:28:22.685; terminal frame retained before stopping at 06:28:31.913. Local git config, refs, HEAD, status and worktree list compare equal. No provider turn was started. The subsequent serving-root correction changes server identity matching only.

Integrated Checkout recording · Transcript

Integrated checkout refusal

Runtime transcript: PR details succeed before and after both refused checkout modes. Local config, refs, HEAD, status, and worktree snapshots remain identical. Primary integrated check confirms the real-client refusal and unchanged repository state.

Committed fixture · Raw recordings, initial frames, differences, manifests and runtime snapshots. Full evidence index. Independent proof audit: sufficient for these scoped recordings. Rebuilt settled frame differs at 37.6585% of pixels above zero and 0.2135% above 16/255, including pointer/caret and encoding differences; layout and refusal text match. Fresh app-record creation by the fixture was not checked; existing isolated records were reused.

Unverified: Electron shell, native iOS and Android, relay/tunnel connections, and separate final-client Fix/Resolve, prompt-link, and branch-dialog actions. Those checkout callers reach the same server guard.

Walkthrough

Pull request preparation now checks repository identity for nonnumeric references. The check compares checkout remotes with pull request metadata and provider-resolved identities. Tests cover mismatches, renamed repositories, and multiple remote formats.

Changes: Pull request checkout validation

Layer / File(s)Summary
Repository ownership check
apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts
preparePullRequestThread checks repository ownership for nonnumeric references. The check compares pull request metadata with configured and expanded remotes, provider-refined identities, and a host lookup.
Mismatch and rename cases
apps/server/src/git/GitManager.test.ts
Tests verify rejection of repository and port mismatches without checkout changes. Other tests verify branch resolution for old and new repository references.
Remote identity and fork cases
apps/server/src/git/GitManager.test.ts
Tests cover shorthand and SSH remotes, Forgejo and Cursor Origin identity refinement, fork-only clones, and visible GitHub URLs mapped to local test transports.

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

  • pingdotgg/t3code#15023 — The changes add checkout identity checks for fork pull requests, which relates to the reported fork checkout mismatch.
  • pingdotgg/t3code#29753 — The changes add Forgejo remote identity refinement, which relates to the reported mismatch between SSH and web host identities.

Possibly related PRs

  • pingdotgg/t3code#20727 — Both changes validate repository identity during pull request checkout; this PR adds provider-refined identities and more remote cases.

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg

Merge Risk: External image Moderate · up to efc86

The change refuses PR handoffs in unrelated checkouts, but some unrelated checkouts can still pass the guard (a same-named repository, an SSH remote on another port, or a numeric reference with a repository override). Some legitimate renamed fork-only checkouts are still refused. Fix these gaps before merging, or explicitly accept them.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#16455] requires PR Resolve, Fix, and Checkout handoffs to avoid unrelated checkouts while preserving PR-detail reads. GitManager.preparePullRequestThread now validates the resolved PR base and head repository identities against checkout remotes before local or worktree Git changes. It returns the existing checkout error when no identity matches. The guard covers local and worktree refusal tests, and the reported 115 GitManager tests and CI checks passed. The provider fallback for PR reads remains available.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to [#16455]. The added identity and provider handling supports repository matching, renamed repositories, mirrors, shorthand remotes, SSH aliases, Forgejo paths, ports, and fork cases. The GitManager regression tests verify the guard and no-mutation behavior. Fixture registration and seeder-root changes support the reported browser and integration verification. No unrelated product behavior is demonstrated.

Assert the repository-guard failure.

The fake GitHub provider returns the configured PR unless failWith is set, and this fixture starts with a clean checkout. However, the test still accepts any later failure. Assert the guard's message so the test proves the repository check ran.

Addressed the review findings in 7ec918e: HTTP ports and serving paths remain distinct, supported Forgejo SSH identities use provider refinement, the browser fixture has its Knip entry, and both seeders use fixture.json for their root. Guard assertions now check the repository mismatch error.

All 115 GitManager tests pass, including local/worktree rejection of a root-hosted fork for a mounted-server PR. Targeted lint and format pass. Both isolated final source reviews found no blocking findings. Test output. The PR verification section retains the actual capture revisions and unverified surfaces.

  • fix(server): type mounted PR test scenarios and accept resolved /tmp in fixture seeder21d4399

Fixed the macOS temporary-directory finding in 21d4399: both the fixture root and /tmp are resolved before the strict descendant check. A Python diagnostic accepts a child through a simulated macOS symlink and rejects the root, siblings and escapes.

The scoped server typecheck also exposed four literal-widening errors in two newly added test scenarios. Both now use the existing FakeGhScenario type. Production code and recorded evidence revisions are unchanged; final Build and Typecheck confirmation remains for CI.

🟠 Major · Use fetch URLs for the repository-identity check. · GitManager.ts:2786-2813

apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts:2786-2813 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use fetch URLs for the repository-identity check.

listRemoteUrls includes both fetch and push entries. A matching push URL can therefore satisfy the guard even when the same remote's fetch URL points to another repository. Later PR fetches pass only the remote name, so Git uses that unrelated fetch URL and its credentials. If it serves the requested ref, the checkout can materialize objects from the wrong repository.

Filter push entries before building remotes (or validate the URL used by the fetch operation).

🟠 High git/GitManager.ts:2894

The checkout guard accepts an unrelated repository when its name matches repositoryName, so preparePullRequestThread can proceed to fetch a foreign PR head into that checkout. isPullRequestRepository treats a matching final path component under headRoot as sufficient; require a verified base/head repository or fork relationship instead of this name-only fallback.

3The checkout guard accepts an unrelated repository when its name matches `repositoryName`, so `preparePullRequestThread` can proceed to fetch a foreign PR head into that checkout. `isPullRequestRepository` treats a matching final path component under `headRoot` as sufficient; require a verified base/head repository or fork relationship instead of this name-only fallback.

12- Line 2894: Update the repository-matching logic in GitManager so matching

15host identity, and refuse when that relationship cannot be established. Extend
16the existing mismatch test with the same-name, different-owner case.
17- Around line 2991-2993: Update the numeric change-request lookup in the
18surrounding GitManager flow so an upstream PR is recognized when the only
19configured remote is a renamed fork in the same repository network, without
20accepting PRs from unrelated repositories. Preserve the existing safeguards and
21verify the behavior with a regression test covering the fork-only case.
22- Around line 3051-3052: Update the reference validation in the flow surrounding
23`ensurePullRequestBelongsToCheckout` so numeric references are also verified
24against the actual checkout identity, independently of `GH_REPO`. Do not rely on
25the current guard alone while its fallback uses that override; establish the
26checkout’s repository identity through an independent trusted source before
27allowing worktree preparation to add a remote or fetch a PR branch.

Resolve an SSH remote's web server before accepting a port match.

If a PR is served at http://forge.test:4000/team/repo and [email protected]:team/repo.git resolves to the server on port 3000, the repository keys match and port === null accepts the SSH remote. The guard returns before Forgejo can refine that remote to its port-3000 web URL. Refine SSH identity before accepting it for a port-specific PR.

Allow renamed forks in the same repository network.

If the only remote is me/renamed-fork, the guard rejects an upstream PR from pingdotgg/codething-mvp with head octocat/codething-mvp. The numeric lookup queries me/renamed-fork, where the PR can be absent or have a different URL. Handle this fork-only case without accepting unrelated repositories, and add a regression test.

Do not identify a fork by repository name alone.

If a checkout remote is github.com/other/codething-mvp and the PR base and head are github.com/pingdotgg/codething-mvp and github.com/octocat/codething-mvp, this condition accepts the unrelated checkout. Preparation can then fetch the PR into that checkout or change its branch. Verify the fork relationship with the host, or refuse when neither repository identity can be established. Add the same-name case to the existing mismatch test.

Validate numeric references against the checkout.

If GH_REPO names another repository, a numeric reference can resolve its PR and skip the guard. Worktree preparation can then add a remote and fetch the PR branch in the unrelated checkout.

Make the identity check independent of GH_REPO. Calling the current guard alone is insufficient because its fallback uses the same override.
