Problem

Claude scratch files mentioned as plain paths are not clickable, while abbreviated paths such as /tmp/claude-1000/... become broken file chips. Explicit Markdown links already work. Fixes #30757.

Change

Main's runtime instructions already ask agents to link files by absolute path. Recognize complete POSIX paths in prose in web/desktop and mobile, and keep ellipsis-abbreviated paths out of file-chip detection. Preserve explicit links, code fences, URLs, hidden files, and relative navigation.

Scope and approval

This is a focused fix for the existing file-link workflow in #30757, submitted under the obvious-bug exception in CONTRIBUTING.md. The shared parser and both rendering paths need to agree on the same file target; filesystem permissions and viewer behavior do not change.

Verification

  • Regression tests reproduced missing prose links and broken ellipsis chips before the fix, including punctuation after abbreviated paths, bracket-containing file names, and native table fallback rendering. The focused shared and mobile parser tests pass after the fix.
  • vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL generation, affected-package typechecks, focused tests, and React compiler checks.
  • In an isolated Linux dev server and real web client, replayed a synthetic conversation with the issue's three forms. Before: A stayed plain text, B linked the literal ..., C worked. After: A and C link the exact complete scratch path, B stays code. Clicking A loaded the scratch file's actual contents in the read-only viewer.
  • Added an instruction eval case and validated its dry run. Paid eval execution is unavailable here: Codex has no vibeproxy provider configured and no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set. Native device verification is unavailable because Agent device access is disabled; the native transformation tests and mobile typecheck passed. No native desktop-shell run was performed; desktop uses the web renderer.
Before After
Before: plain path unlinked and ellipsis chip After: complete path chip and ellipsis kept as code

Complete scratch path opened in the viewer

Walkthrough

The change updates provider instructions to request full-path Markdown links and adds absolute-path linking to shared and mobile Markdown rendering. Path validation rejects elided segments, and tests cover path detection and rendering behavior.

Changes: Absolute File Path Linking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider file-link instructions
packages/provider-core/src/server/runtimeInstructions.ts, apps/server/src/provider/CodexDeveloperInstructions.test.ts, apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/*/*_transcript.ndjson, evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/file-links.ndjson
Provider instructions and transcript fixtures request Markdown links with absolute paths. Evaluation cases cover a full-path link and a response without a link when no file exists. Two configured context byte values decrease by 13.
Path detection and validation
packages/shared/src/markdownLinks.ts, packages/shared/src/markdownLinks.test.ts
Markdown-link parsing rejects elided path segments. A helper finds and validates absolute paths in text. Tests cover abbreviated paths, including ellipsis characters and encoded periods.
Markdown path linking
packages/shared/src/markdownPipeline.ts, packages/shared/src/markdownPipeline.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/markdownDocument.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/markdownInlineFileLinks.test.ts
Both remark configurations link valid absolute paths in text nodes. Mobile Markdown transformation links matching paths in prose and validates inline-code paths before linking. Tests cover punctuation, brackets, parentheses, formatting boundaries, code, escaped text, and paths adjacent to URLs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Explanation

[#30757] The shared parser now rejects file links with an elided path segment and finds complete absolute POSIX paths in prose. The web Markdown pipeline and mobile transform apply that detection. The parser accepts dash-led path segments and trims surrounding punctuation; tests cover scratch paths, abbreviated paths, code spans, explicit links, and mobile rendering. Shared runtime instructions now require full absolute-path Markdown links without ellipses. The incremental parser change also preserves relative-path handling. No linked coding requirement remains unmet.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The parser, web and mobile rendering changes, runtime instruction, regression tests, and instruction eval all support [#30757]. The incremental backslash-path parsing preserves relative-link behavior while the parser changes. The context-budget updates track the revised instruction sizes. No demonstrated unrelated change is present.

Do not discard a whole prose text node when it contains an unrelated escape.

An escape elsewhere in the node makes raw differ from node.value, so the guard at line 47 returns before any path in that node is matched. For example, See \* and /tmp/notes.md parses to one text node, and /tmp/notes.md is skipped and stays plain text. The Windows-path escape plugin does not change this input, because it only rewrites escapes that follow an unfinished drive path.

Map each path match in node.value back to its source offsets, and create edits only for those spans. The guard should not reject the entire node. A direct absoluteFilePathMatches(raw) on the source slice is not a safe substitute, because it can include escape backslashes inside a path.

Reject ellipses in every path segment.

The textMustNot pattern only matches ellipses immediately after /tmp/claude-1000/. A response containing the required full link and an abbreviated segment such as /tmp/claude-1000/-home-user--t3.../scratchpad/notes.md can pass this case. Match ellipses anywhere in an emitted path token.

Preserve balanced closing parentheses in absolute paths.

The trailing-punctuation trim removes the final ) from a valid path such as /tmp/report(1). The truncated path passes parseMarkdownFileLink, so web and mobile can link /tmp/report(1 instead of /tmp/report(1).

Exclude unmatched closing brackets from path matches.

For See [ /tmp/notes.md], the matcher includes ] in the path, so the link points to /tmp/notes.md]. It also accepts /tmp/cache/...] as a file path instead of rejecting the abbreviated path. Preserve balanced brackets in filenames, but exclude unmatched closing brackets. Add both cases to the existing tests.

Reject links rendered as inline code.

A response that puts [name](/tmp/claude-1000/.../notes.md) inside backticks can satisfy textMust, but Markdown renders it as code rather than a usable link. The grader applies this pattern directly to the response text. (raw.githubusercontent.com) Check for a rendered Markdown link node instead.

As per coding guidelines: “A case reproduces a real bad experience, or guards a real good one.”

Fixed in 3219130. The case's textMustNot now rejects a scratch-file link wrapped in backticks, so a link rendered as code fails. A real link next to a backticked bare path still passes.

@maria-rcks Thanks for adding the guard. It rejects a single-line link in inline code and accepts a real link next to a backticked bare path.

The patterns still accept a link inside a fenced code block, where it will not render as a link:

```text
[notes](/tmp/claude-1000/-home-user--t3-worktrees-app-t3-abc123/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc/scratchpad/notes.md)
```

Could the eval check for a Markdown link node instead? That would cover both inline and fenced code.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Merged current main into this branch with a merge commit (no rebase). Head is now d7f21f8c14.

  • Main's fix: chat file links open the file agents cite #33943 rewrote the same runtime instruction sentence: it now asks agents to link every cited file by its absolute path. I took main's text as-is and dropped this PR's instruction change. Main's budget workflow fails any PR that grows agent context without a maintainer label, and main's sentence already covers the link request. The fixture transcripts, CodexDeveloperInstructions.test.ts, and agentContextBudget.json now match main. This PR no longer touches agent context.
  • file-links.ndjson: kept main's four file-links-* cases and this PR's two cases.
  • Addressed two review findings on those two cases. Positive checks now use finalTextMust, so text from a step that later exhausts maxSteps cannot pass. The ellipsis textMustNot pattern stops at ), so a complete link followed by prose ... is not rejected. Abbreviated bare paths and link destinations are still rejected. Both cases build with --dry-run. Paid runs were not done because no provider key is set here.
  • The renderer changes (shared absoluteFilePathMatches, web remark plugin, mobile prose links, and ellipsis rejection) are unchanged.

vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck (35 packages), focused tests, and React compiler.

Do not reject links between separate code spans.

If a correct link appears between two inline-code spans, the second textMustNot pattern matches from the first span’s closing backtick to the second span’s opening backtick. The grader then rejects a usable link. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Check Markdown code spans rather than pairing arbitrary backticks.

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified head 3219130d64fefc14cd0622c2b2ac9e7358dbcdeb on a linux boat vm using the actual dev web client, repository playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol through the local provider proxy. no replay provider, mocked conversation, fixtures, or database-inserted messages.

  • reproduced on github/main (ca796d5211) in a separate worktree: complete absolute prose paths were plain text. an explicit markdown link opened the scratch file. abbreviated inline paths already stayed as code on current main, so that part of the original bug no longer reproduced.
  • added the repository project through the app and asked codex to write real scratch files and return prose, abbreviated, explicit, hidden-file, relative, and fenced forms. stopped main before starting the exact pr head. copied only this app-created isolated dev state for matching screenshots.
  • on the pr, clicking the complete prose path opened the file viewer with the contents codex wrote. the hidden-file path and relative README link also opened their actual files. the abbreviated path remained code with no link, and the fenced path stayed unlinked.
  • a fresh codex turn through the pr server created pr-provider.md and returned [pr-provider.md](/tmp/t3-scratch-link-verification/session/scratchpad/pr-provider.md). clicking it loaded the exact contents in the viewer.
  • blacksmith: vp test run packages/shared/src/markdownLinks.test.ts packages/shared/src/markdownPipeline.test.ts apps/mobile/src/lib/markdownInlineFileLinks.test.ts apps/server/src/provider/CodexDeveloperInstructions.test.ts passed all 100 tests across four files. the head also has 28 successful CI contexts. no code changes were needed.

main: complete prose paths remain plain text

pr: the same conversation links complete prose and hidden-file paths

pr: opening prose, hidden-file, and relative links in the real viewer

pr: a fresh real codex turn produces a full markdown link and opens the written file

Not verified

native ios/android rendering, the electron desktop shell, windows/macOS filesystem behavior, remote/relay/tunnel connections, and providers other than codex were not exercised on this linux web run. mobile parser coverage passed, but that is not native-client verification. paid instruction evals were not run. this verifies the user flow, not a guarantee that every model response follows the instruction.

Keep prose ellipses outside the path check.

A link to the complete path followed immediately by ... can fail because the pattern consumes the closing ) and the prose ellipsis. Check for ellipses within paths while still rejecting abbreviated bare paths and Markdown destinations.

Require a completed answer.

textMust checks text from all model steps. If the model emits the expected text before a tool call and then exhausts maxSteps, the case can pass without a completed answer. Use finalTextMust for both positive checks. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
