fix(github): keep gh's default repository when local remotes exist - #34130
selectGitHubBaseRepository used to return null as soon as any fetch remote was not on the GitHub host. A local-path or file:// remote (for example one left by container-use) therefore hid the remote that gh repo set-default marked as base. resolveGitHubRepository then fell back to the upstream ranking and picked the wrong repository (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/24383). The fix skips remotes with no host, the way gh does. That means a URL that neither parseGitRemoteRepository nor parseGitRemoteHost can read. Checking both keeps userless SCP remotes such as gitlab.com:me/web.git, which gh still treats as hosted, so a remote on another host still makes the result null. I merged origin/main with a merge commit and kept the author's commits. The skip now runs before main's SSH-alias mapping (apiHostForSshAlias, b5a5ab4). Tests: I took main's git@work ambiguous row and dropped the PR's git@github-work row, because main now honors github-* aliases. I also dropped the PR's separate resolveGitHubRepository test, which repeated at the wrapper layer the case the selectGitHubBaseRepository row already covers. With main's version of the source file, that row fails. The push to fix/issue-24383 was refused because the remote branch had moved to af7ee99 after a90e45f. I could not inspect that commit (the fetch failed), so a reviewer should check whether af7ee99 has anything this branch lacks. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not executed during screening. 1. Clone a GitHub fork as origin and add its parent as upstream. 2. Run gh repo set-default /. 3. Create and push a base branch named fork to origin only, then create a feature branch with a commit and push that branch to origin only. 4. Set branch..gh-merge-base to fork. 5. Add an existing local bare repository as a remote using git remote add local-mirror /absolute/path/to/mirror.git. 6. Open this checkout as a T3 Code project and use the thread's source-control Create PR action. Main targets upstream and fails because the branches exist only in the fork; this change retains the marked fork and creates the PR there. Removing only local-mirror provides the main control.

Tests
vp test run src/server/gitHubRepositoryResolution.test.ts (packages/source-control-github): 17/17 pass. The same file with main's source file swapped in: 1 failure, the local-path row, as expected. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (11 packages) and tests (2 files) all pass.
Not in this change
resolveGitHubRepository's fallback ranking keeps hostless remotes whose normalized first segment equals the host. The selection fix did not need to change it, so I left it alone.
Remote branch fix/issue-24383 is at af7ee99, which this branch does not include. I could not inspect it.

… as base (#24383)
gh ignores remotes without a host, but selectGitHubBaseRepository gave up on
any remote it could not place, so the fallback picked upstream over the
remote gh repo set-default marked and PRs opened against the wrong repo.

…s remotes (#24383)
parseGitRemoteHost has no host for `github.com:me/web.git`, so the local-path
skip also dropped it: the fork gh marked as base lost to upstream, and a
`gitlab.com:` mirror no longer made the choice gh's. Skip a remote only when
neither parser finds a host.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Local filesystem remotes no longer interfere with selection of the existing gh default repository. Host validation and repository-priority rules remain unchanged.

Base repository selection now skips fetch remotes that neither repository nor host parsing recognizes. Tests cover marked GitHub origin selection with local-path and upstream remotes, plus ambiguous GitLab SCP-style and malformed GitHub remotes.
Selection skips a fetch remote when both repository parsing and host parsing return null. Tests cover marked origin selection with local-path and upstream remotes, and unresolved selection with GitLab SCP-style or malformed GitHub remotes.

The change fixes base-repository selection for local-path remotes. Rare remote formats, such as Windows UNC file URLs or single-component SCP remotes, may still select the wrong base repository. This is bounded and can be followed up.

The description covers the problem, change, scope, linked issue, reproduction, verification results, and known limitations. The real-app before-and-after evidence is still pending, but the focused test and changed-check results provide sufficient verification.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The change satisfies #24383. selectGitHubBaseRepository skips a fetch remote only when both parseGitRemoteRepository and parseGitRemoteHost return null. The marked GitHub remote can therefore remain selected when local-path and file:// remotes are present. The tests cover both local remote forms and a userless SCP-style GitHub remote. The tests also retain null selection for GitLab and malformed GitHub remotes.

Skip file URLs with a UNC authority.
On Windows, file://server/share/repo.git can name a file-share repository. Its authority prevents the skip, so selection returns null. With a marked origin and an upstream, the fallback can select upstream instead of the marked repository.

Keep single-component SCP remotes in the ambiguity check.
Git accepts build.example.com:repo.git as an SSH remote, but both parsers return null for it. The new condition skips it, so selection can use a marked GitHub origin instead of the previous fallback to upstream. This can change the PR base repository.
Distinguish local paths from this SCP form, and add it to the existing ambiguous-remotes test.
