What Changed

Images and videos dropped into a pull request on a private repository now render in the PR panel. Before, they showed an "Image unavailable" chip, and a dropped video showed "Video unavailable".

  • packages/contracts: a new github-attachment asset resource for https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/<id> links, plus an isGitHubAttachmentUrl helper that the PR body splitter now reuses instead of its own copy of the pattern.
  • apps/server: a small GitHubAttachmentResolver reads the token through gh auth token, asks GitHub for the upload with it, and returns the Location GitHub answers with. The existing signed asset route answers such a resource with a 302 to that URL, with Cache-Control derived from the signature's remaining lifetime (X-Amz-Date plus X-Amz-Expires, minus a margin) so remounting the panel does not refetch every image. No bytes go through the server. A found token is reused for five minutes; a missing one is not cached, so a gh auth login while T3 Code runs takes effect on the next image.
  • apps/web: ChatMarkdown sends a GitHub attachment image through ChatMarkdownAssetImage when an environment is known, and PullRequestMarkdown does the same for a bare attachment link that is a video. If the environment cannot mint the URL (a server from before this change), both load the authored link, which is exactly what the client did before. Everything else is unchanged.

Why

GitHub serves user-attachments uploads from a private repository only to a signed-in reader. The PR body carries a bare <img src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/…">, so the browser got the same 404 an anonymous request gets. Public repositories redirect without credentials, which is why they always worked.

Redirecting instead of proxying keeps the fix cheap and remote-ready: a relay or tunnel client fetches the image straight from GitHub's storage, and the server only forwards a redirect. Reading the token through gh keeps credentials where every other GitHub call already gets them; without a token the request goes out anonymously, so a public repository behaves exactly as before and an unauthenticated gh does not change anything.

Surfaces: web and desktop render PR bodies and are covered. Mobile has no PR body view, so it is untouched; a chat message on mobile that embeds such a link still loads it directly, as today. Routing mobile chat through the same resource is a separate, small follow-up. Chat messages on web and desktop go through the same ChatMarkdown path and benefit as well.

Verified against a real private repository with the OAuth token gh auth login issues: the resolver returns GitHub's signed S3 URL, the route answers 302 with Cache-Control: private, max-age=240, and the PR panel renders both images. Focused tests cover the resolver (token header, token reuse, anonymous fallback that picks up a later login, allowlist before the token goes on the wire, manual redirect handling against the real fetch client, non-redirect answers), the signed claims round trip, the redirect cache header, the route's 302 and 404, and the web fallbacks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • GitHub-hosted pull request and issue attachments are now supported as assets.
    • Attachments resolve through authenticated, time-limited redirects without proxying file contents.
    • Markdown images and videos can display GitHub attachments, with fallback to the original GitHub URL when resolution fails.
    • Redirect responses now include cache controls based on signed URL expiry.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance explaining GitHub attachment resolution and redirect behavior.

GitHub serves user-attachments uploads from a private repository only to a
signed-in reader, so the bare <img> the PR body carries answered 404 and the
panel showed an "Image unavailable" chip. Videos dropped as bare links failed
the same way.

The web client now asks the environment for a signed asset URL for such links.
The server reads the gh token through the CLI, asks GitHub for the upload
with it, and answers with a redirect to GitHub's own short-lived download, so
no bytes are relayed and remote clients fetch straight from GitHub's storage.
Without a token the request is anonymous, which keeps public repositories
working exactly as before.

🔴 Critical assets/AssetAccess.ts:594

github-attachment signs any client-supplied URL, so a caller of assets.createUrl with read scope can obtain a bearer redirect for an attachment in another private repository accessible to the host's gh credential. Bind the URL to the requesting workspace, thread, or repository before issuing the token, and reject URLs outside that authorization boundary.

Not changing this one. A client with orchestration:read can already read any host file the server account can read, including ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, through projectsReadFile (same scope as assetsCreateUrl, see apps/server/src/auth/RpcAuthorization.ts and docs/internals/environment-auth.md: the environment, not the project, is the boundary). So this path grants nothing a paired client does not already hold, and the attachment id is an unguessable UUID the caller must already have. Binding the URL to a repository is not possible either: the same links appear in PR bodies, comments, and chat output.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new credential-backed GitHub attachment delivery path across the server, WebSocket API, contracts, and web renderer. Human review is needed because the asset URL authorization boundary and potential cross-repository private-content exposure must be resolved before merging.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds GitHub attachment contracts, authenticated server resolution, signed redirects, cache headers, runtime wiring, and environment-backed image and video rendering.

Changes

GitHub attachment assets

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attachment contract and recognition
packages/contracts/src/assets.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestMarkdown.logic.ts
Adds the github-attachment resource variant, URL validation, shared URL detection, and video attachment classification.
Authenticated attachment resolution
apps/server/src/assets/GitHubAttachmentResolver.ts, apps/server/src/assets/AssetAccess.ts, apps/server/src/assets/*test.ts
Adds cached GitHub CLI token lookup, authenticated manual-redirect requests, GitHub attachment asset claims, redirect resolution, and coverage for successful and rejected resolutions.
Redirect delivery and runtime wiring
apps/server/src/http.ts, apps/server/src/http.test.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts, apps/server/src/server.test.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts
Returns attachment redirects with expiry-based cache headers and provides the resolver in runtime and test dependency layers.
Environment-backed media rendering
apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestMarkdown.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.workspace-images.test.tsx, docs/internals/environment-auth.md
Resolves GitHub image and video attachments through environment asset URLs, preserves authored fallback data, tests the rendering paths, and documents the redirect flow.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the private-repository media fix because it changes contracts, server redirects, and PR-panel rendering to enable images and videos in pull request views.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4e854

Private-repository media now renders through short-lived GitHub download redirects, but browser caching may preserve access to a previously resolved attachment after identity changes. This should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

…their authored attributes

A hosted client talking to an environment that predates the github-attachment
resource got a decode failure from assets.createUrl, which turned even
public-repository images into an "Image unavailable" chip. The asset image
and the PR video now fall back to the authored link when the environment
cannot mint a URL, which is exactly what the client loaded before.

GitHub uploads also lost their sanitized id, className, and other authored
attributes on the way through the asset path, so fragment links stopped
resolving. Those props are forwarded now.

1439-1445: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve authored properties in the failed-image fallback.

When a GitHub attachment cannot load through either the signed URL or the authored URL, this non-standalone path renders ChatMarkdownImageFallback without the sanitized id or authored className. Fragment links to an authored user-content-* ID then have no target, and authored layout classes are lost. Pass the sanitized id and class name to the fallback wrapper.

Suggested fix
 function ChatMarkdownImageFallback(props: {
   readonly alt: string;
+  readonly id?: string;
+  readonly className?: string | undefined;
   ...
 }) {
   ...
     <span
+      id={props.id}

…d forget a missing gh token

Review follow-ups. The cache header for a signed download now derives the
remaining lifetime from X-Amz-Date plus X-Amz-Expires instead of treating the
expiry as if it started now, and reads the clock through Effect. A missing gh
token is no longer cached, so a login that happens while T3 Code runs takes
effect on the next image, while a found token is still reused for five
minutes. The resolver re-checks the upload URL shape before it puts the token
on the wire, with a test that runs the real fetch client against a stubbed
fetch so removing manual redirect handling fails. GitHub images keep their
Copy URL action, and while the authored link is showing after an older
environment refused to mint, Save and Copy read that link instead of
re-minting. A route-level test covers the 302 and the 404 for an upload GitHub
refuses.

…environment cannot mint it

While the player shows the authored GitHub link because an older environment
refused the github-attachment resource, Retry called the same refused RPC and
its rejection left the player in the failed state. Retry now reloads the
authored link in that case, as the direct player did before.
