Summary

• a link to a commit on /dev/null gets the same card as any website: the site name then a long Name (@handle) on /dev/null: “…” title then the body again in grey with a tiny drawing of the commit and it opens /dev/null in a new tab
• now that card reads like the commit itself: the /dev/null mark and handle/hash like the inline commit links from feat: show dev/null commit links as the author and short hash #349 and then the commit's text and it opens the commit right there
• the composer preview shows the mark and handle/hash too before you commit
• feat: render commit links as quote cards #1153 goes further with a live card from the server (avatar and images and polls with visibility checks) while this one only restyles the card we already store so it costs no query and you can pick whichever fits

Changes

• commitLinkTo() in lib/urls.ts reads the handle and the commit from a /dev/null commit link and linkified-text.tsx uses it instead of keeping its own copy of the pattern
• link-preview.tsx shows the mark with handle/hash and the description at 15px for those links and skips the drawn og.png (a commit's own image still shows) and opens the commit with an inertia Link
• screen readers hear @handle’s commit hash like the inline link and the loading skeleton drops the thumbnail for these links
• composer-preview.tsx shows the mark with handle/hash and says it unfurls into a commit card
• nothing new is fetched or stored since the card already holds the commit's text from its page so cards made before this change get the new look too and it saves the og.png request
• KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md and DESIGN.md describe the new card

Validation

• lint types type coverage JS tests build and the full pest suite pass (4546 tests with 100% coverage)
• tests/Unit/LinkPreview.test.tsx renders the card: a commit link goes to /@handle/commits/id with no target and no image and no generic title while its own image stays and a quote gets no link and other links keep the old card and the loading skeleton drops the thumbnail
• tests/Unit/CommitLinks.test.ts covers links that match and the ones that don't (a profile and og.png and a query string and a look-alike host and other sites and bad handles)
• captured the card and the composer at 1440x900 1366x650 390x844 375x667 and 360x780 in light and dark plus the loading state and a commit with its own image and a long commit and hover and keyboard focus at 1440x900 and 390x844
• while the card loads its skeleton is two lines of text so a one line commit settles about 20px shorter and a three line one about 20px taller (layout shift 0.0004 to 0.002 right after posting) where the old skeleton matched short cards and came up 20px short for long ones

Visual evidence

the card on the page of a commit that links to another one then the composer preview of a reply with that link then the other states

before	after

Device verification

• desktop chrome at 1440x900 and 1366x650 and chrome emulating 390x844 375x667 and 360x780 phones (no hardware) since this is how a card looks and not a touch interaction

Independent review

• read-only Claude agent: CODE PASS and VISUAL PASS on base 8f887ac4 head dae39407 after rounds that caught an over long line for the format check and asked for the loading skeleton and screen reader label and the extra states above

Limitations

• the card shows the text the linked commit had when the link was unfurled like every other link card
• the loading skeleton can't know how long the commit is so it can be off by about one line

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Links to commits on dev-null.sh now display commit cards with the author, shortened commit ID, commit text, and first attached image when available.
  • Commit cards open the commit in the same tab. In the composer preview, commit links are identified separately from other links.
• Documentation
  • Updated guidance describing the contents and behavior of commit preview cards.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared parsing for dev-null commit URLs and uses the parsed handle and commit ID in linkified text and preview cards. Commit previews display commit-specific details, handle images, and link to the commit page. Documentation and tests describe and verify these changes.

Changes: Commit Link Previews

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Commit URL parsing and linkification resources/js/lib/urls.ts, resources/js/components/linkified-text.tsx, tests/Unit/CommitLinks.test.ts	A shared parser validates dev-null commit URLs and returns the handle and lowercased commit ID. Linkified text uses these parsed values. Unit tests cover valid and invalid URLs.
Commit preview rendering resources/js/components/composer-preview.tsx, resources/js/components/link-preview.tsx, tests/Unit/LinkPreview.test.tsx, DESIGN.md, KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md	Composer and link previews show commit-specific marks, handles, hashes, descriptions, and images. Non-static commit preview cards link to the commit page. Tests and documentation cover the card content and behavior.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: xheaven, paulinevos

Merge Risk: Low · up to dae39

The new commit-card assertions do not run in CI. Add them to the unit-test workflow; this is a bounded coverage gap rather than an established card failure.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to dae39

The cards reuse existing metadata and navigate through the existing commit page. Restricted URL recognition, scoped commit binding, and viewer visibility checks contain the change; no material new security exposure was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected scope is presentation and navigation for viewers of recognized commit-link previews. The new client caller does not confer additional commit-reading authority: access still depends on the destination page's current-viewer authorization.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — A supplied preview URL influences the displayed commit identity and navigation parameters, but it does not establish authorization. Scoped route binding preserves the user/commit relationship, ShowCommitRequest applies Commit::isVisibleTo for the viewer, and the page query retains viewer-aware data loading. These controls predate this PR and remain on the new navigation path.
