ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds an opt-in remote editor capability and changes shared server configuration and contract boundaries, while preserving existing behavior when the setting is absent. The implementation is focused and tested, but the cross-owner shared-code changes warrant human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to When a configured SSH host is set, open-in-editor links can still advertise discovered server addresses instead of only the operator-provided SSH alias. This prevents the setting from reliably enforcing the intended client SSH configuration and should be corrected before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Remote open-in-editor links only ever used a host the server guessed for itself: the tailnet MagicDNS name or <hostname>.local. Clients on another network cannot resolve the mDNS name, and a bare hostname cannot carry a non-default SSH port or user, so the only workaround was an ssh config alias on every client that shadows the guessed name. T3CODE_REMOTE_OPEN_HOST names the host to advertise. When set, the server advertises it alone as a target of the new kind 'configured' and skips the sshd and Tailscale probes. Pointing it at an ssh config alias lets the viewer's own ~/.ssh/config supply user, port, key and ProxyCommand. Proposed in pingdotgg#10326; same root cause as pingdotgg#10906.

Another use case for this: my desktop connects to T3 through a manually managed SSH tunnel over the local private network. Tailscale remains enabled on the server for phone access, so T3 still advertises its I worked around this by mapping that hostname to the VM’s private IP in my desktop SSH config. An explicit editor SSH-host setting would let me select the intended route independently of the T3 connection and retained Tailscale access. |

Import the local service module as a namespace and acquire it through its public tag (ServerConfig.ServerConfig). The new yield* ServerConfig uses a named service import, which loses the module boundary convention. This needs changes at both the import and acquisition sites.

What Changed
Adds a
T3CODE_REMOTE_OPEN_HOSTserver setting. When set, the server advertises it as the first remote open-in-editor target, with a newRemoteOpenTargetkindconfigured, ahead of the probed Tailscale and mDNS names. The desktop app forwards it into WSL backends alongside the provider keys. A short paragraph in the remote access guide explains when to set it.Why
From a browser or desktop client on another machine, "Open in editor" builds a
vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+<host>/...link using a host the server guessed for itself: the Tailscale MagicDNS name, or else<hostname>.local. Without Tailscale, clients on another network cannot resolve the mDNS name (#10906). Even when a name resolves, thevscode-remoteURI cannot carry a non-default SSH port or user. The only workaround was an ssh config alias on every client that shadows the guessed name.This is the operator-declared host proposed in #10326. Pointing it at an ssh config alias lets the viewer's own
~/.ssh/configsupply user, port, key and ProxyCommand, so nouser@hostwire form is needed.The probed names stay in the list after the configured one. Clients that know the
configuredkind take the first entry; older clients drop the unknown kind throughForwardCompatibleArrayand keep exactly the target they had before, so no client change is required.Verified with
