fix(mobile): link URLs with ports and single-label hosts

[Yash-Singh1]

Supersedes #13662
Supersedes #13018
Closes #13017

What Changed

Added a pnpm patch for react-native-nitro-markdown@0.5.8 that changes how its bundled md4c detects bare links:

• Scheme autolinks (http://, https://) now accept a host with a single label, so http://localhost/... and http://devbox/... become links.
• A port after the host (: followed by digits) now counts as part of the link, so http://localhost:3000/foo links as one URL.
• Parentheses are now allowed in the path part of the URL.

Email and www. autolinks still require a dotted host. The patch is registered in pnpm-workspace.yaml with a short comment explaining it.

Why

When agents printed dev-server URLs like http://localhost:5173 or http://my-box:3000/api, mobile either didn't link them or cut the link off at the :. This happens because md4c's permissive autolink parser requires at least two host labels and stops at the port separator. Web already links these URLs. Fixing it in the parser is the smallest change, and it keeps link detection in one place instead of adding a second URL scanner in JS.

UI Changes

Mobile only: in chat messages, URLs with a port or a single-label host are now fully tappable. Before/after screenshots to be added.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Markdown autolinks now recognize a wider range of characters in scheme-link paths, queries, and fragments, including punctuation that previously had to be surrounded by letters or numbers. Parentheses in URL paths are supported, and trailing punctuation is excluded from scheme links. Scheme links also support single-label hosts and optional numeric ports; e-mail and www links retain their host-label checks.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 7ddd076

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused mobile markdown bug fix that applies a pinned parser patch for ports, single-label hosts, and URL punctuation while preserving existing email and www handling. The workspace and lockfile changes only register that patch, with no schema, security-sensitive, product-default, or static-analysis configuration impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The md4c permissive autolink parser expands accepted URL characters and changes scheme autolink handling for punctuation, hosts, ports, and trailing characters. The workspace registers the react-native-nitro-markdown@0.5.8 patch.

Changes

Markdown autolink parsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Autolink rules and patch registration patches/react-native-nitro-markdown@0.5.8.patch, pnpm-workspace.yaml	URL path, query, and fragment character sets include additional punctuation. Scheme autolinks bypass punctuation-flanking checks in path and query positions, allow single-label hosts and digit ports, and trim specified trailing punctuation. Other autolink types retain their existing checks. The workspace registers the patch.

Preserve trailing URL characters in scheme autolinks.

If a URL ends in _ or ~, remove those characters from the cleanup set. The current loop can turn https://localhost/a_ into a link targeting https://localhost/a.

Suggested fix

-        while(end > opener->end && ISANYOF(end - 1, _T("?!.,:*_~")))
+        while(end > opener->end && ISANYOF(end - 1, _T("?!.,:*")))

This affects only scheme autolinks with these trailing characters, so the issue is minor rather than major.

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
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.

Suggested change

	+ end--;
