Conversation
Single-project search/def/refs/symbols/files/summary against an EXTERNAL
project (GitHub repo attached server-side) returned
"API error (404): project not found: hash=..." for every `-n
github.com/owner/repo@branch` lookup.
Root cause: client.encodeProjectPath unconditionally wrapped the identity
key as "local:{machineID}:{path}". The server only namespaces LOCAL
projects (projects.Create wraps the key when MachineID != ""); external
projects are stored with path_hash = hashPath(bare host_path). So the CLI
computed sha1("local:{machine}:github.com/...@main") while the server had
sha1("github.com/...@main") — guaranteed mismatch → 404. Workspace search
was unaffected because it resolves projects server-side by ID, not via the
client hash.
Fix: namespace only ABSOLUTE filesystem paths (filepath.IsAbs), which is
exactly when the server sets MachineID; hash non-absolute identifiers
(external IDs) bare. Verified the CLI now emits the same hash the server
stores (ed5aabb72e927702 for github.com/MythicalGames/pf3-backend@main).
Adds encode_test.go pinning external-bare vs local-namespaced against the
server's documented formula.
