fix(server): use the checkout's GitHub login for requests - #19013
GitHub requests selected gh credentials from the server directory, so a project's directory-specific login could see a PR in the terminal while T3 reported it missing. Fixes#14123.
Run credential lookup from the checkout and carry that directory through REST, GraphQL, repository operations, discovery, stack actions, and private PR media. Cache credentials per checkout while preserving Settings and environment-token precedence. Shared reads group by credential and pin that credential before dispatch; a credential change between grouping and execution cannot lend a replacement token to another project's batch.
Maintainer takeover of #19013, credited to @mihaicrisan04. The original commits are preserved, main was merged, and redundant tests were consolidated. The takeover also covers previously unpinned resolver paths, private PR media, a credential-transition regression, and distinguishing an unavailable checkout from a missing CLI. The bounded credential cache now accommodates checkout-specific entries without churning across ordinary multi-project environments.
Two independent review rounds completed; both reviewers returned no substantive findings on this revision. Review fixes covered cache churn, media credentials, and missing-checkout errors.
Verification on headless Linux:
The three consolidated behavior tests fail against main and pass with this change. A fourth regression fails before the grouping/dispatch fix and passes afterward.
Before the last review fixes, 694 scoped tests passed across 25 existing files. After those fixes, all affected GitHub and server asset suites passed: 427 tests across 15 existing files. These cover real credential-cache/request-policy/REST composition with fake process/HTTP boundaries, GraphQL batch separation, cross-project statistics, credential transitions, and signed asset access.
The original five-file scope had 384 cases; consolidation reduced it to 383. One credential-transition case and one missing-checkout case bring that scope to 385. A temporary 50-checkout diagnostic showed 100 CLI lookups before the cache fix and 50 afterward across two passes; it was removed after verification.
GitHub, source-control core, and server typechecks plus scoped lint/format pass. These backend account-routing behaviors are demonstrated at service level; screenshots do not prove credential isolation.
Current-head CI passed: Build and Typecheck, lint, Test, Test Web, all eight server shards, and the native fingerprint check. One duplicate fingerprint run was cancelled while the other passed; skipped preview/native jobs are recorded as skipped. There are no unresolved review threads. The existing CodeRabbit summary still describes the original author head, so its success status is not claimed as a fresh bot audit; the takeover has two independent full-diff review rounds.
Real two-account directory/shim verification remains necessary: this machine only has the supplied active GitHub login, and test fixtures are not live accounts. macOS, Windows, Electron desktop, iOS, and Android were not exercised. The existing authored/reviewing-list viewer remains host-wide, tracked in #16068; this PR changes request credentials and batching. Commands use their actual checkout directory: a managed worktree outside the project folder needs its own directory-specific login configuration. External CLI account switches retain the existing cache TTL until expiry/invalidation. A credential mismatch during grouped statistics can temporarily omit counts until the next refreshed read. Authentication-sensitive behavior still requires human review.
Implemented through T3 Code with Codex gpt-6.1-sol; tests by Codex gpt-6-astra; independent review by Claude claude-opus-5-5 and Codex gpt-6-sol.
T3 asked `gh auth token` from the server's working directory, so every project got one GitHub
account. With a per-folder gh setup (a work directory whose GH_CONFIG_DIR points at another
login), pull requests in those projects were read with the wrong account and showed as not found.
The token is now asked from the checkout each request acts for and cached per checkout. Reads
batched across projects (sync summaries, watch fingerprints, the list search, line counts) are
grouped by that account, so one project's reads never go out on another project's login.
Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR changes credential acquisition and account routing across GitHub reads, writes, batching, repository operations, and stack actions. Because it modifies authentication-sensitive production behavior across shared infrastructure, it requires human review.

Walkthrough
GitHub credential lookup and API requests now use checkout context. Pull-request reads are grouped by routing identity, including credential fingerprint or account ID. Media and stack operations also pass checkout context.
Changes: Checkout-scoped GitHub access
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Select and cache credentials by checkout packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubCredentials.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubRequestPolicy.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubAppAccess.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubRest.test.ts
Credential lookup, invalidation, and request policy now accept checkout context. Credential cache keys include the working directory. Tests cover missing-executable error classification and fallback when a checkout directory is missing.
Pass checkout context through pull-request API operations packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubRest.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubGraphQlClient.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.test.ts
REST and GraphQL requests receive checkout context. Pull-request API operations select credentials for that checkout. Tests cover checkout-specific credentials for concurrent summary reads.
Carry checkout context through provider and stack actions packages/source-control-core/src/server/driver.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubConditionalChecks.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/gitHubMediaFetch.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/githubStackActions.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/githubStackRebase.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/githubStackRebase.test.ts, apps/server/src/assets/sourceControlMediaResponse.ts, docs/user/source-control.md
Provider, media, and stack requests pass the checkout directory to GitHub operations. Cascade-rebase and source-control media inputs accept checkout context. Documentation describes project-specific gh configuration.
Group pull-request reads by routing identity packages/source-control-core/src/server/PullRequestProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubPullRequestApi.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.test.ts
Routing identities can include a credential fingerprint. Cross-repository list and list-stat reads are grouped by host and resolved account. List groups also use cursor timestamps.
The change routes GitHub requests through checkout-specific credentials. Automated checks reportedly pass, but real multi-account verification and a human review of the authentication paths are still pending, so owners should confirm them before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 334c9
The change improves separation between project accounts. A remaining credential-refresh race can route grouped reads through a different account than the one used to form the group. No write-authorization bypass was established, and existing stack safeguards remain in place.
Retained concerns
Low · security · inferred: Cross-project list and line-count batching records credential fingerprints, then dispatches the combined read using only the first checkout. If that checkout's credential expires, is evicted, or is invalidated and its directory-specific login has changed before dispatch, the request can use the replacement credential for other projects still associated with the earlier fingerprint. The new account-separation guarantee is therefore incomplete during credential transitions. This is an inferred read-routing concern, not an established write-authorization bypass.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The affected authority is the GitHub credential selected for projects managed by the server. It reaches repository reads, API mutations, and stack fetch/push operations within that token's permissions. The retained concern is narrower: grouped list and statistics reads on one host. Cross-tenant reachability or additional deployment exposure was not established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The remaining account-binding failure requires a checkout-specific login change and credential refresh after grouping but before dispatch. A group formed under credential A can then be read under the first checkout's replacement credential B. Stable-credential tests demonstrate separation, while the verified-credential test demonstrates pinning in a different path; neither establishes protection for this service-level transition. No remote attacker path or unauthorized disclosure was verified.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Action inputs arrive through an RPC handler that invokes withRoutingCredential. When expectedAccountId is supplied, the server resolves the project, verifies account equality, and pins the verified credential around the operation. Without that field, the operation proceeds without this additional account pin. Fresh project-derived viewer permissions still gate writes. Authentication and network exposure of the RPC deployment remain outside the established evidence.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Identity verification captures the token before acquiring its fingerprint-keyed lock, pins the user lookup, and stores the result under that same fingerprint. Lock ownership is released through acquireUseRelease. This prevents concurrent identity verification from associating another token's account with the captured fingerprint.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Bind grouped reads to the credential captured when forming the group, or revalidate and regroup before dispatch when the fingerprint changes. Exercise checkout-specific invalidation or expiry between grouping and dispatch to verify that one project's replacement credential cannot become another project's read authority.

Explanation
The changes meet the coding requirements in #14123. GitHub credential lookup runs with the checkout cwd, and REST and GraphQL requests carry that context. GraphQL shared reads pin credentials and separate batches by credential fingerprint. PullRequestService groups list and statistics reads by routing identity and falls back to checkout separation when identity lookup is unavailable. Tests cover checkout-specific credentials, credential-separated batches, and credential transitions.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes stay within #14123. Credential propagation through discovery, repository operations, pull-request operations, stack actions, conditional checks, and private media prevents related requests from using the wrong checkout login. Cache and missing-checkout handling support this behavior. The documentation and tests support the implementation. The host-wide authored/reviewing-list viewer tracked by #16068 is not changed.

provider has no fingerprint. Extend getRoutingIdentity’s type to expose the
optional fingerprint, and have GitHub’s implementation return the fingerprint
from captureVerifiedCredential; use that value instead of accountId alone as the
grouping key, preserving combined batches for checkouts sharing a credential.

…d token
Projects on one account can still hold different tokens (fine-grained ones see different
repositories), so cross-project batches are grouped by the credential fingerprint the routing
identity now carries, falling back to the account. The fingerprint stays server-side.
The identity check's /user request now names its checkout, so a 401 clears that checkout's
cached token instead of the server directory's.
Assert the credential fingerprint returned by getRoutingIdentity.
These assertions check only accountId and viewer. The service batching test uses a stub identity, so it does not check that GitHub’s fingerprint reaches the service. A wrong fingerprint can make same-account checkouts with distinct credentials share a batch, which runs from the first checkout’s cwd.

Taking over this one as maintainer for batch pull-request-12. I will keep this PR and its author commits, merge main, trim the tests, and rebuild checkout-scoped credential routing with independent implementation and adversarial review. Real multi-account verification and human review will be recorded explicitly before handoff.

fix(server): GitHub requests use the gh login of the project's folder
fix(server): use the checkout's GitHub login for requests
Oct 19, 2026
Maintainer takeover is pushed at d47779b, preserving the contributor commits and merging main. Two fresh full-diff review rounds are complete; both reviewers found no substantive issues in the final round. The description now contains the before/after test evidence and remaining live-account and platform limits.
The earlier grouped-read credential-transition concern is addressed by withBatchCredential: it verifies the dispatching checkout against the grouping fingerprint and pins the captured credential through the read. On mismatch, list falls back to separate repository reads outside the pin, and stats omit counts for that attempt. A deterministic transition regression fails before the fix and passes afterward. Resolver batches, private media, cache capacity, and missing-checkout classification were also checked.
The existing host-wide authored/reviewing viewer issue remains tracked in #16068, as scoped by the original author; it is not claimed fixed here. Actual two-account directory/shim verification and authentication-sensitive human review remain required. Current-head CI is being followed; nothing will be merged by this batch.
One catch: it only switches accounts when the gh on the server's PATH is the mise shim (~/.local/share/mise/shims/gh). With the usual mise activate PATH the real binary comes first and ignores the folder, so every project still gets the inherited account. Probably worth a line in docs/user/source-control.md.
Port per-checkout gh credentials onto main's app sign-in, settings secrets and
media fetch. The checkout's directory now rides as a `cwd` option next to
`personal` on the request policy's credential, so saved and app tokens stay
host-wide while gh is asked from the checkout. GraphQL batches pin only a
personal credential, keeping the app's fallback to the checkout's own login.

The spawner checks cwd before running gh, so a removed worktree or moved
project failed every credential lookup instead of using the server's gh
login as before. Retry gh in the server directory when the checkout folder
cannot be found.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An app-authenticated batch was shared across checkouts, so when the app
could not see the repositories the whole batch retried with the first
checkout's login and the other checkout's reads came back not found.
Unpinned batches now also key on the checkout, so each falls back to its
own login; pinned personal batches still share across checkouts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
[major] apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.ts:462: Worse than main: accountOf groups cross-checkout stats reads by credentialFingerprint, which is the app's fingerprint for every checkout while the app is signed in. listStats (lines 2739-2745) then sends one listChangeRequestStats batch with the first project's cwd. When the app is refused (NOT_FOUND or withheld), GitHubRequestPolicy retries the whole batch with that first checkout's personal login. Other checkouts' private PRs come back NOT_FOUND, isNotFoundOnly swallows that, and their stats disappear. On main the fallback was the server's single login. This is the same defect the author fixed in batchKey, one level up.
Fails with: App signed in but not installed on either org; /work uses a per-folder gh login B (mise GH_CONFIG_DIR), /personal uses the server's default login A; PR list with diff stats, /work project listed first. Confirmed with a temporary test: listPullRequestStats({cwd:'/work', changeRequests:[acme/web#7, octo/site#8]}) sent Authorization ['Bearer app','Bearer token/work'] and returned only acme/web#7. On main the retry used login A and octo/site#8's stats were shown. Fix: include the project's workspaceRoot in accountOf's key when the routing credential is the app's, as batchKey does.
It stays open for a person to finish or close.
