can you also let me know what you think about this: 🤔 not a blocker, but I wonder if we could do a pass and handle these better. e.g. is this specific to github?

Took a look at `shouldFallbackToV1AfterV2ProbeError` at internal/gitproto/refs.go:91. You're right — the three substrings (`"Invalid command:"`, `"GIT_PROTOCOL='version=2'"`, `"git-upload-pack"`) match GitHub's SSH gateway output specifically. Gitolite, GitLab Shell, and OpenSSH + custom forced-command shells all word their rejections differently, so a self-hosted source that strips `GIT_PROTOCOL` won't trip this path and will just fail loudly.

My take: in `auto` mode over SSH, drop the string match entirely and just fall back to v1 on **any** v2 probe error, joining both errors if v1 also fails. Rationale: "auto" already means "try the fast thing, then the slow thing" — the user has explicitly opted out of strict v2. The substring match adds brittleness without preventing anything bad: the worst case today is one wasted v1 attempt against a server that's genuinely broken, which is cheap. Tradeoff is that a real outage now produces two errors instead of one (mitigated by `errors.Join`), and we lose the breadcrumb that says "the server explicitly rejected v2" — but that breadcrumb is already host-specific.

If you want to keep some guardrail, scope the broad fallback to SSH-scheme connections only (HTTPS v2 rejection is much rarer and usually means real misconfig worth surfacing).

---

yeah, let's do the auto fallback with error join

---

can you look at the comments on the PR

---

Two PR comments:

**1\. cursor[bot]** on `internal/gitproto/ssh.go:54-56` (commit `ceeddf92`, "Medium severity")

> "SSH process leak when stdin close fails... if `cmd.Stdin.Close()` fails, the function returns early without calling `cmd.wait()` or closing `cmd.Stdout`."

**Already fixed** in your follow-up commit `9c50a33f ssh: clean up failed info-refs startup`. The current `requestInfoRefsWithCommand` (ssh.go:59) now calls `cleanupSSHCommand(cmd)` which closes stdout and waits — exactly the pattern the bot was asking for. No action needed.

**2\. @nodo** on `internal/gitproto/refs.go` (the `shouldFallbackToV1AfterV2ProbeError` substring match)

> "🤔 not a blocker, but I wonder if we could do a pass and handle these better. e.g. is this specific to github?"

**Addressed in this session**: removed the substring match, broadened to any v2 probe error over SSH, and joined the v2 + v1 errors when fallback also fails. Changes are uncommitted on `soph/ssh-transport` — ready to commit + push whenever you want me to.

---

can you rebase onto latest main and fix the conflict

---

Rebase complete with no conflicts. The 2 docker-test commits (`dec0ec04`, `833353a9`) now sit on top of the rewritten `soph/ssh-transport`. Tests and lint pass.

Branch state:

- `soph/ssh-transport`: 16 commits ahead of `origin/main` (11 commits ahead of `origin/soph/ssh-transport` since SHAs were rewritten)
- `soph/ssh-e2e-docker`: 2 commits ahead of `soph/ssh-transport`

Both branches have diverged from their `origin/*` counterparts and will need force-pushes when you're ready.

how do I run the full docker test again?

Two things worth flagging from that output:

**1\. The result was cached.**`ok ... (cached)` means Go served the previous test result from its test cache — it didn't re-execute. The verbose output you saw is replayed from the prior run, including those cleanup errors. To force a fresh run:

```
GITSYNC_E2E_SSH_DOCKER=1 go test ./internal/syncer -run TestRun_SSHDockerSync -v -count=1
```

or `go clean -testcache` first.

**2\. The test leaks a Docker image.** I checked: container is gone, but image `git-sync-ssh-e2e:5906157617516596622` (35MB) is still around. The bug is in the cleanup at ssh_docker_test.go:68-72 and :80-84 — both pass `t.Context()` to `runCommandBestEffort`, but `t.Context()` is cancelled the moment the test function returns, so the cleanup subprocesses can't run. The container probably cleaned up because Docker daemon also retried/aborted gracefully, but `image rm` failed.

Clean up the orphan and the cache:

```
docker image rm -f git-sync-ssh-e2e:5906157617516596622
go clean -testcache
```

Want me to fix the cleanup-context bug? It's a one-line change per cleanup: use `context.Background()` (or a fresh context with a short timeout) instead of `t.Context()`.

Test passes cleanly, no more cleanup errors, no leaked images or containers. The fix replaces `t.Context()` (cancelled when the test returns) with a fresh `context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)` in both `t.Cleanup` callbacks at ssh_docker_test.go:68 and :80.

can you commit

---

Committed as `8adeadaf` on `soph/ssh-e2e-docker`. Left `.entire/.gitignore` and `.clawpatch/` alone — those look like unrelated local-tooling state.
