Line 132 in 3f78102
An Include inside Host work is parsed without the active host context, so HostName work.example.com in the included file is not recorded for work; discovery therefore keeps work as the hostname and does not suppress the duplicate known_hosts target. Propagate the caller's active currentHosts into the recursive collection and use it to initialize the included file's context, while still allowing its own Host directives to replace that context.

For Host * followed by Host dev, discovery records dev.example even though ssh dev uses bastion.example; this can suppress the known_hosts suggestion for the actual host. currentHosts filters out the wildcard at line 163, so HostName bastion.example is ignored and the later HostName dev.example wins. Preserve wildcard stanzas and apply their first matching HostName to later aliases.

A Host work followed by Match all and HostName work.example.com leaves configuredHostnames without the work mapping, so discovery exposes work and work.example.com separately instead of applying the alias configuration. Match all should preserve currentHosts; reset it only for conditional Match directives.

enclosing quotes from the value returned by splitDirectiveArgs before storing
it, so quoted hostnames are recorded and matched as unquoted hostnames.
- Line 111: Initialize recursive SSH config scans with the active Host context
at the Include site so included HostName directives are processed for that host.
Update the scan function and its Include handling to pass this context, while
keeping the parent scan’s currentHosts unchanged after the include returns.
- Line 163: Update collectSshConfigAliasesFromFile so discovered literal aliases
also receive HostName defaults from matching wildcard Host blocks, applying
SSH’s first-value order and Host pattern rules. Keep the connection alias
unchanged; use the resolved hostname only for discovery metadata and known_hosts
deduplication.

In `@packages/ssh/src/config.ts`:
- Line 173: Update the Match handling that assigns context.patterns so supported
conditions such as originalhost work are preserved as predicates for discovery
instead of setting an empty guard; ensure Include work.conf retains the
condition and discovers its Host work entry.
- Line 181: Update the HostName handling in the configuration resolution flow to
expand `%h` to the selected host alias and `%%` to a literal percent sign before
resolving the target, rather than setting any hostname containing `%` to null.
Update the fallback expectation in the related config test to reflect the
expanded hostname.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winCover alias-only substring matching.
The test only queries
DEVBOX.LOCAL. The fixture alias,devbox, is also contained in the hostname, and the other fixtures use identical alias and hostname values. A regression that removes alias matching while retaining hostname matching could therefore pass these tests. Use an alias value that is not contained in the hostname and add an alias-only assertion.Suggested fix

SSH environment discovery currently lists a configured alias and its
known_hoststarget as separate suggestions. Picking the raw target can also bypass the alias's SSH user and routing settings.Prefer explicit
HostNametargets from SSH config when building suggestions. Keep the configured alias, hide only a matching rawknown_hoststarget, and let users find the alias by typing either its name or target address. Connections still resolve and connect through the alias.Verification: focused SSH discovery, desktop bridge, and web search tests (20 passing); SSH and web package typechecks; targeted formatter and lint. Independent Claude Opus review and automated review found SSH config precedence cases; the branch now covers Includes, wildcard Host blocks, Match all, and tokenized first values. Desktop visual capture was attempted in an isolated worktree; Electron's dev renderer entered
ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, so no reliable before/after screenshot is attached.Fixes #13270.
Model and harness: GPT-6 Codex, with Claude Opus 5.5 read-only review.
