Problem

A fork checkout with origin marked by gh repo set-default, an upstream remote, and a local-path remote sends PR creation to upstream. A branch pushed only to the fork then fails with GitHub's Validation Failed; head invalid response.

Change

Ignore hostless remotes when selecting GitHub's base repository so the marked fork remains selected. Reuse the existing parsers together to preserve userless SCP remotes, SSH aliases, and the existing handling of other hosts. Add regression coverage for the reported failure and parser compatibility.

Scope and approval

Fixes #24383
GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/24383

Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. This is a focused correction to existing repository selection; no client or contract changes.

Verification

• Red regression: expected the marked fork me/web, received upstream acme/web (1 failed, 3 passed).
• Final repository-resolution test file: 4 passed. GitHub provider server tests: 270 passed. Package typecheck: exit 0. Targeted lint and git diff --check: passed.
• Two independent reviewers approved the revised diff after the SCP compatibility regression was corrected.

Runtime case	Observed request	Result
Before, local remote present	POST upstream /repos/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls	422, head invalid
Before control, remove only local remote	POST fork /repos/juliusmarminge/t3code/pulls	201
After, local remote still present	POST fork /repos/juliusmarminge/t3code/pulls	201

Sanitized runtime transcript, structured trace, reproduction command and fixture.

The real Linux dev server was driven through the web client's source-control command. Runtime proof uses implementation commit e9322b8756; the subsequent main integration changes only Macroscope ignore configuration, and the focused tests pass again at the PR head. There are no changed render paths (capture matrix 0/0). Desktop/mobile shells and remote connection modes were not separately exercised. Temporary reproduction PR branches were deleted after testing.

Models: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1-Sol, through T3 Code (Claude Agent and Codex harnesses).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at af7ee99

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Local remotes no longer interfere with gh-compatible GitHub repository selection. Existing selection priorities, explicit overrides, and host checks remain intact.

Walkthrough

The resolver now skips a remote only when both repository and host parsing fail. Tests cover mixed remote URL forms and ambiguous inputs.

Changes: GitHub base selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remote parsing and base selection packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubRepositoryResolution.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubRepositoryResolution.test.ts	selectGitHubBaseRepository checks repository and host parsing before skipping a remote. Tests cover mixed remotes, including local and file URLs, and ambiguous GitLab and incomplete GitHub URLs.

Explanation

Issue #24383 requires GitHub PR repository selection to ignore local-path and other non-GitHub remotes while honoring remote.origin.gh-resolved. The change skips remotes that both repository and host parsers cannot interpret, while preserving userless SCP handling. The regression test combines a marked GitHub fork, an upstream remote, a local path, and a file:// remote, and verifies selection of me/web. Additional cases cover GitLab and malformed remotes.

Ignore non-GitHub remotes during base selection.

A GitLab remote passes this guard. Line 45 then returns null, so resolveGitHubRepository ignores the gh-resolved mark and can select upstream instead of the marked fork. Skip non-GitHub remotes as well, and update the test that expects this case to be ambiguous.
