fix(cli): t3 pair's protocol mismatch hint keeps --base-dir - #35690
Merged origin/main (7d51718), which has the fix for the Build and Typecheck failure main had, into factory/issue-35675 as a merge commit. There were no conflicts and nothing else changed: the fix still passes an explicit --base-dir, quoted for the host shell, into the protocol-mismatch hint, so it reads npx t3@<version> pair --base-dir <home>.
On origin/main 1e6a251, in a fresh worktree after vp i, I changed the assertion in the existing test 'rejects a server on another protocol before opening its database' in apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts to expect t3@0.0.45 pair --base-dir ${baseDir}. That test writes a server-runtime.json under a temporary home pointing at a live fake descriptor server (serverVersion 0.0.45, protocol 1) and runs the real CLI entry t3 pair --base-dir <tmp home>. Ran vp test run apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts -t 'rejects a server on another protocol'; it fails. The actual error is: 'The running T3 Code server (0.0.45) speaks orchestration protocol 1, but this CLI speaks protocol 2.\nPair with the matching CLI instead: npx t3@0.0.45 pair.' The suggested command has no --base-dir.
Evidence
Run the real CLI with pair --base-dir <synthetic-home> against a live synthetic descriptor reporting T3 0.0.45 / protocol 1. Both sides use Linux x64, Node v26.12.1 and fresh unseeded homes. Base drops --base-dir from the suggested command; head preserves it. Images render the captured CLI output with temporary paths replaced by placeholders.
After the merge: vp test run apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts, 26/26 pass. vp run typecheck in apps/server, exit 0. The full CI Build and Typecheck job was not rerun locally.
Not in this change
The mismatch hint still always suggests npx instead of the user's own runner (pnpm dlx, bunx, etc.). That is existing behavior, unrelated to --base-dir.

Proof captured by GPT-6.1 Sol and checked by Claude Opus 5.5
The matching-version command dropped an explicit --base-dir, so running it
as printed searched the default T3 home. Append the selected home, quoted
for the host shell, like the no-running-server hint already does.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The protocol-mismatch hint now retains an explicitly supplied --base-dir with platform-specific shell quoting. This changes only the displayed recovery command; pairing behavior and the early database-protection guard remain unchanged.

When pairing detects a server protocol mismatch, the suggested matching-version command now retains a nonblank, explicitly provided --base-dir. The error accepts the complete command, and the test checks that the hint includes the selected directory.

Summary
Build and validate the pairing hint apps/server/src/cli/invocation.ts, apps/server/src/cli/pair.ts, apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts
hostShellWord is exported and used to quote a nonblank explicit base directory in the matching-version command. The protocol-mismatch error displays the supplied command, and the test checks for the --base-dir argument.
pingdotgg/t3code#25417: Changes the same protocol-mismatch error and hint, so it overlaps with this PR’s constructor and message changes.

The matching-version hint now preserves an explicit --base-dir, as intended. The new test assertion expects an unquoted path and would fail on Windows runners. Fix the test expectation before relying on Windows test coverage.

Explanation
The title names the fix and its scope: the t3 pair protocol-mismatch hint now keeps the --base-dir flag. It matches the main change in the changeset, which appends a quoted explicit --base-dir to the suggested command in pair.ts and exports hostShellWord. The title follows the conventional commit form the template asks for.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #35675 requires the protocol-mismatch hint to keep an explicitly selected T3 home through --base-dir. At the reviewed head, apps/server/src/cli/pair.ts builds pairCommand in the pair handler. When explicitBaseDir is non-blank, it appends --base-dir <quoted path> using hostShellWord(platform, explicitBaseDir). IncompatibleServerProtocolError now requires pairCommand and renders it in its message, replacing the hard-coded npx t3@<version> pair. The npx t3@<serverVersion> prefix is kept, as the issue asks for the server's matching CLI. The no-running-server hint is unchanged. The test change in pair.test.ts asserts the complete t3@0.0.45 pair --base-dir <baseDir> command. The author reports 26/26 passing in pair.test.ts, but this assessment did not run tests. The source diff alone establishes the behavior. The PR description's evidence section is an unfilled placeholder. It is not a coding requirement, so it does not affect this verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changes connect to issue #35675. The pair.ts change builds the suggested command with the explicit home. The IncompatibleServerProtocolError field change carries that command to the message. The invocation.ts change only exports the existing hostShellWord helper, which the pair handler needs for quoting. The pair.test.ts change updates the mismatch assertion to the new behavior. The objectives state that the remaining npx runner choice is out of scope. The PR keeps npx and does not change it, so no unrelated change was found.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template and is substantive. It states the problem (the protocol-mismatch hint omits --base-dir), describes the change (the hint now appends an explicit, host-shell-quoted --base-dir), links the issue (#35675), and gives reproduction steps, before/after evidence, and test results (pair.test.ts 26/26, typecheck exit 0). It also names the models and harness used. The Scope section does not explicitly justify the fix as a bug fix beyond linking the issue, which is acceptable because the issue is linked. Minor gaps: the 'Change' section is merged into the intro and the 'Problem' and 'Change' headings are not used as separate sections, and the description opens with a merge-of-main note rather than a conventional commit title. The full CI Build and Typecheck job was not rerun, and the author disclosed this.

Quote the expected --base-dir value with the production helper.
The expectation at apps/server/src/cli/pair.test.ts:502 hard-codes the raw baseDir. The production hint at apps/server/src/cli/pair.ts:538 quotes it with hostShellWord. On Windows, hostShellWord wraps the path in double quotes. The assertion then fails when the Windows test run reaches this case. The POSIX temp path normally needs no quotes, so Linux and macOS are unaffected.
