Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughGit failures now derive sanitized hints from selected stderr patterns. The hints flow through VCS exit errors and Git driver paths. Tests cover permission-denied, dubious-ownership, and SSH authentication failures without exposing raw stderr. ChangesGit failure hints
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Change: Feature Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Some remote access failures point users toward changing local directory permissions. The PR is mergeable with this bounded guidance issue acknowledged, though a neutral hint would avoid it. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The server’s new hints are fixed text rather than raw command output. The remaining design risk is that the shared error contract relies on callers to keep that text safe; no current leak was established. Retained concerns

- Around line 841-849: Add direct GitVcsDriverCore coverage using recognized
stderr failure patterns, exercising both runGitCommand’s resolved stderr.text
path and executeGit’s resolved result.stderr path. Assert that each non-zero
exit produces the exact sanitized GitCommandError.detail from
resolveCommandFailureHint, while preserving the existing secret-redaction
coverage.
In `@apps/server/src/vcs/VcsProcess.ts`:
- Line 112: Update the SSH authentication error pattern in VcsProcess to match
comma-separated combinations of publickey, password, and keyboard-interactive
methods, while preserving matching for a single method and ensuring it is
evaluated before the generic permission-denied matcher.

Use a neutral hint for generic permission failures.
remote: Permission denied is classified as command-failed. The broad resolver pattern then returns local-directory ownership advice, which is incorrect for remote access failures.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This focused fix changes user-visible error handling across shared VCS execution paths while preserving command behavior. An unresolved review comment identifies that remote permission failures can receive misleading local-directory advice, so the new diagnostic mapping needs human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

What Changed
VCS command failures now explain themselves. When a git/provider-CLI process exits non-zero, we pattern-match stderr against a small set of known failure modes and emit a fixed, sanitized hint in the error message instead of the generic "Process exited with a non-zero status."
Examples:
packages/contracts:VcsProcessExitFailuregains an optionalfailureDetailconsumed by thecommand-failedbranch ofVcsProcessExitError.fromProcessExit. Wire schema unchanged.apps/server: newresolveCommandFailureHintinVcsProcess(hints: SSHPermission denied (publickey), git dubious ownership,Permission denied, not a git repository), wired into the non-zero-exit path and bothGitCommandErrorsites inGitVcsDriverCore. Op-specificfallbackErrorDetailkeeps priority.VcsProcess.test.ts(including multi-method SSH stderr likePermission denied (publickey,password)) and aGitVcsDriverCore.test.tscase covering theGitCommandErrorpath — each asserting the hint appears and raw stderr never does.Why
VCS process stderr is deliberately not retained in error messages (CLIs like
ghcan print tokens), which leaves users with "exited with 128" and no way to self-diagnose. Real case:git initfailing on a root-owned project directory surfaced nothing actionable. This keeps the no-raw-stderr security posture but recovers the reason for the most common failure modes with fixed, secret-free text. Hints only apply where no operation-specificfallbackErrorDetailexists, and unknown failures keep the previous generic message.UI Changes
N/A — error strings only; they render in the existing error surfaces on web/desktop/mobile via the current error serialization.
Checklist
Verification: full
src/vcssuite 93/94 (the one failure,preserves newline characters in worktree paths when listing refs, fails identically on pristinemain— pre-existing/environmental);tsc --noEmitclean for the server package. Includes tests for the multi-method SSH stderr variant and theGitCommandErrorhint path.Done with GLM (fireworks-ai/glm-flash-latest) via the OpenCode harness in T3 Code.
