fix(clients): default GitLab clones to HTTPS

[Mnigos]

Fixes #13350.

Problem

A GitLab repository chosen through Add Project → Clone → GitLab is cloned over SSH. On a host where glab auth login was done over HTTPS (its default) and no SSH key is registered with GitLab, the lookup succeeds but the clone fails with Host key verification failed, and there is no option in the UI to pick the protocol. #7760 fixed the same problem for GitHub and #11436 added Forgejo; getDefaultCloneUrl still returned sshUrl for GitLab.

Fix

getDefaultCloneUrl in packages/client-runtime now returns the HTTPS URL for GitLab as well. glab auth login installs credential.https://gitlab.com.helper = !glab auth git-credential, so the HTTPS clone authenticates through the CLI the user has already signed in with, the same reasoning as for GitHub. The url the GitLab lookup returns is the project's web_url (https://gitlab.com/group/project, no .git), which git clones fine, and the helper is scoped to the host, so it applies there too. Bitbucket and Azure DevOps keep their SSH default. Web and mobile both go through this helper, so both clients pick up the change; pasted URLs are untouched.

Tests

projects.test.ts: GitLab is covered by the HTTPS case with the web_url shape the lookup produces, and the SSH-default case now uses Bitbucket. 17 tests pass; client-runtime typecheck and targeted lint are clean. Not verified against a live GitLab clone.

Implemented with Claude Code (Claude Fable 5.1).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • GitLab repositories now use HTTPS clone URLs by default, matching the behavior for GitHub and Forgejo.
  • Other providers, including Bitbucket, continue to use their existing clone transport behavior.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes the default transport used for provider-selected GitLab clones, affecting both web and mobile clone flows. The implementation and tests are narrowly scoped, but changing a product default warrants review of the intended authentication and transport behavior.

GitLab clones now use HTTPS, but the selected URL comes from the repository’s browser link rather than its dedicated clone URL. Align those URLs before merging, or confirm that the browser link works for supported GitLab hosts.

Explanation

For [#13350], getDefaultCloneUrl now returns the HTTPS url for GitLab. This fixes the reported glab HTTPS case. The function does not read or respect glab's configured git_protocol, which the issue requires at minimum. A GitLab SSH configuration would still select HTTPS. The tests cover only the HTTPS result.
