🤖 GPT-5.6 Luna on behalf of Oliver

ELI5

Some macOS screenshots look darker in T3 Code's pull request viewer than on GitHub. This normalizes the affected PNG color metadata before display.

Problem

The first screenshot in #9619 contains full-range BT.709 cICP values [1, 1, 0, 1] alongside sRGB gAMA and cHRM values. A decoder that understands cICP gives it precedence over those fallback chunks, changing the displayed colors. See the PNG color metadata specification.

Fix

  • PR markdown opts into loading canonical GitHub attachment images through the environment's existing signed asset URLs.
  • The loader accepts supported image types, follows one validated GitHub attachment-bucket redirect, caps responses at 25 MiB, and bounds request and body-read time.
  • A single scan finds the exact conflicting metadata combination, then removes its cICP chunk in place. The compressed pixels and remaining chunks stay unchanged. Other profiles, duplicate cICP chunks, and incomplete chunk data pass through.
  • If signing or normalized loading fails, the image falls back to its original GitHub URL.

Why this touches the server and contracts

An img can display a cross-origin attachment, but browser JavaScript needs CORS permission to read its bytes. The affected GitHub attachment's initial redirect does not provide that permission, so normalization needs to run on the environment. CSS cannot select which embedded color profile the image decoder uses.

The existing asset system already handles signed URLs, expiry, and resolving an environment's HTTP address for local, remote, and tunnel clients. One new resource variant connects the contract, signing/resolution code, HTTP response, and markdown image loader. This preserves that existing access path and avoids introducing another endpoint or disk cache. Request limits remain necessary because rendering PR markdown now asks the environment to download image bytes.

The change is enabled only in PR markdown on web and desktop. Ordinary chat/file markdown keeps its existing image behavior. Of the 678 added lines, 336 are focused tests; the new loader is 203 lines and performs no image decoding or re-encoding.

Verification

  • 128 tests passed across the asset contracts, attachment loader, asset signing/resolution, markdown renderer, workspace images, and PR markdown logic.
  • Contracts, server, and web typechecks passed.
  • Targeted lint passed with existing React warnings in unchanged code.
  • The loader tests use mocked HTTP and a virtual clock. They cover byte preservation, other profiles, malformed input, redirects, error causes, and stalled requests/bodies.

Initial implementation by GPT-5.6 Sol through Codex in T3 Code. Simplification, conflict resolution, and this description by GPT-6 through Codex.

Note

Proxy GitHub user attachment images through signed asset URLs with PNG color normalization

  • Adds a GitHubUserAttachmentUrl contract validator and asset resource type so canonical github.com/user-attachments/assets URLs can be signed and resolved server-side
  • Adds a remote attachment loader in GitHubUserAttachment.ts that fetches the image with manual redirect validation, 10s request timeout, 25 MiB body limit, and strips conflicting BT.709 cICP chunks from PNGs to fix color rendering
  • Wires the asset signer/resolver in AssetAccess.ts and the GET handler in http.ts to proxy resolved attachment bytes with private one-hour caching and 502 on failure
  • Updates ChatMarkdown.tsx to render GitHub attachment images via the signed proxy, falling back to the original URL on proxy error; enables this in PullRequestMarkdown.tsx
  • Risk: ResolvedAsset is now a discriminated union; all callers of resolveAsset must handle the github_user_attachment variant. The PNG normalizer in stripConflictingBt709Cicp mutates response bytes only for an exact BT.709 + sRGB gAMA/cHRM combination, leaving other PNGs unchanged

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change adds a new end-to-end GitHub image proxy and normalization path spanning shared contracts, signed assets, WebSocket handling, HTTP fetching, and pull-request rendering. The server-side remote fetch and redirect/security controls, together with the new user-facing behavior, warrant human review.
