feat(web): suggest ssh hosts in a dropdown under the host field

[flamboh]

Note

🤖 Fable 5.1 on behalf of Oliver

Problem

The SSH tab lists discovered hosts in a fixed panel below the form. Finding one means scrolling that panel, and it takes up the dialog even when you already know the alias. Picking a host there also skipped the form, so you never saw which user or port would be used.

Fix

Suggestions now drop down from the "SSH host or alias" field as you type, ranked with the prefix-then-substring filter from #9171. The first nine rows carry ⌘1 to ⌘9 shortcuts, the same keybindings the command palette uses for "New thread in project", and the rest scroll.

Picking a row by click, shortcut, or arrow keys and Enter resolves the alias with ssh -G through a new resolveSshHost desktop bridge method, fills Username and Port with the resolved values, and connects through the same path as the Add environment button. The dropdown is built on the base-ui autocomplete primitive so it overflows the dialog instead of being clipped by its scroll area.

Host discovery re-runs each time the SSH tab is shown, which replaces the old Refresh button and lets a failed first discovery recover.

Includes the commit from #9171 and supersedes it.

• vp test run apps/web/src/state/desktopSshHosts.test.ts, 9 tests passed
• vp lint <changed files> --report-unused-disable-directives
• vp fmt --check <changed files>
• vp run --filter @t3tools/web typecheck

• vp run --filter @t3tools/desktop typecheck
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD
• Manual pass in the desktop app: filtering, ⌘N selection, Down then Enter selection, Escape scoping, resolved user and port filled before connect

Note

Add SSH host autocomplete dropdown to desktop SSH connection form

• Replaces standalone suggested-host rows with an autocomplete embedded in the SSH host field in ConnectionsSettings.tsx. Selecting a suggestion resolves the alias via the new resolveSshHost desktop IPC to populate username and port.
• Adds filterDiscoveredSshHosts in desktopSshHosts.ts to rank case-insensitive prefix matches ahead of substring matches, preserving input order within each tier.
• Adds the RESOLVE_SSH_HOST_CHANNEL IPC channel and resolveSshHost method in sshEnvironment.ts, backed by DesktopSshEnvironment.resolveHost which trims the alias before resolving.
• Risk: resolution failures silently retain existing username/port values and still attempt connection with the discovered target; reviewers should verify the fallback path in ConnectionsSettings when resolveSshHost rejects.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a cross-layer SSH UX feature that replaces the existing suggestions panel with an autocomplete and adds a desktop IPC path running ssh -G before connecting. It changes the existing SSH connection flow and adds keyboard and discovery-refresh behavior, so its runtime impact is broader than a self-contained UI tweak.
