fix(git-clone): accept HTTPS repo URLs on any host, not just GitHub
scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs accepted only github.com, so the README's
Forgejo example (and /security scan on any Forgejo, Codeberg or self-hosted
URL) failed validation; scan.md and plugin-audit.md also routed only
https://github.com/ to the clone path.

Chose generic HTTPS over adding one host to an allowlist because there is
no documented security reason for the host check. Read before choosing:
git log --follow (import + E12 only), the file's comments, CHANGELOG v2.4.0
("GitHub repo URL support", feature framing), security-hardening-guide §2
and §7 (the sandbox is the defence against filter/smudge drivers), and
review-2026-06-20, which lists "vsix-fetch (HTTPS host allowlist)" as a
protection but no host check for git-clone. What protects a clone is the
OS sandbox, GIT_SANDBOX_CONFIG and GIT_SANDBOX_ENV, for every host alike.

Measured: with GIT_SANDBOX_ENV, git reads 0 config lines outside a repo;
without it, osxkeychain comes from Xcode's system gitconfig. So no stored
credential is offered to an unknown host.

The shape stays strict: https only, no userinfo, host starts and ends
alphanumeric (no leading -), optional port, exactly owner/repo, no query
or fragment. SSH stays GitHub-only: ssh uses the user's own keys and
~/.ssh/config, which the git environment does not isolate.

Tests (red first): Forgejo and any-host accept 2 failing -> green; guards
for http, userinfo, leading -, extra path, query, ext:: and file:: and
non-GitHub SSH hold. The old "rejects non-GitHub URL" case still passes
(it has no owner/repo) and is renamed to say so. Regex timed linear
(< 1 ms at 200k chars). Live: a sandboxed clone of
https://git.fromaitochitta.com/open/llm-security.git exits 0 at 5208420,
cleaned up.

# /security plugin-audit [path|url]
Audit a Claude Code plugin for security before installation. Accepts local paths or remote git URLs (HTTPS on any host, SSH on GitHub).
## Step 1: Resolve Target
- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--branch <name>` → strip it, set `branch = <name>`
- If `$ARGUMENTS` starts with `https://` or `git@github.com:` →
Run: `node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs clone "<url>" [--branch <branch>]`
If exit code != 0 → show error to user and **STOP**
Set `clone_path` = stdout (trimmed), `target = clone_path`
Set `remote_url = <url>` for display
- Else if `$ARGUMENTS` is non-empty → `target = $ARGUMENTS`, `clone_path = null`
- Else → `target = "."`, `clone_path = null`
- Verify `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` exists at `<target>`. If not and `clone_path != null` → cleanup clone_path first, then tell user this is not a plugin directory and **STOP**. If not and local → tell user and **STOP**.
## IMPORTANT: Cleanup Guarantee (remote audits)
If `clone_path != null`, the following cleanup MUST run regardless of audit outcome.
If ANY step between clone and cleanup fails or errors, STILL run cleanup before stopping:
1. `node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs cleanup "<clone_path>"`
2. `node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs cleanup "<evidence_file>"` (if `evidence_file` is set)
## Step 1.5: Pre-extraction (remote audits only)
If `clone_path != null`:
Get temp path: `node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs tmppath "plugin-extract.json"`
Run: `node <plugin-root>/scanners/content-extractor.mjs "<target>" --output-file "<evidence_file>"`
If exit code != 0 → set `evidence_file = null` (fall back to direct scan)
## Step 2: Inventory
Read plugin.json (name, version, auto_discover). Glob for commands, agents, hooks, skills, knowledge. Build permission matrix from all `allowed-tools` and `tools` declarations. Flag: Bash access, Bash+Write combo, Task (sub-agent spawning), opus for trivial tasks.
## Step 3: Analyze Hooks
If `hooks/hooks.json` exists: parse events, read scripts, classify (block/warn/modify). Flag: state modification, network calls, non-CLAUDE env vars, SessionStart hooks.
## Step 4: Scan Content
Spawn `subagent_type: "llm-security:skill-scanner-agent"`, `model: "sonnet"`:
If `evidence_file` is set:
> EVIDENCE-PACKAGE MODE. Read: \<evidence_file\>
> Read: \<plugin-root\>/knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md
> Analyze all sections. DO NOT use Read/Glob/Grep on the target directory.
> Check all 7 threat categories. Return findings: file, severity, OWASP ref.
Otherwise:
> Scan plugin at \<path\>: commands/*.md, agents/*.md, hooks/scripts/*, skills/*/SKILL.md, knowledge/**/*.md.
> Read: \<plugin-root\>/knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md
> Check all 7 threat categories. Return findings: file, severity, OWASP ref.
## Step 5: Report
Output: Plugin metadata, component inventory, permission matrix, hook analysis, security findings, trust verdict.
Verdict: **Install** (0 critical/high, transparent hooks) | **Review** (high findings or unclear permissions) | **Do Not Install** (critical, exfiltration, persistence, or hidden instructions).
## Step 6: Cleanup (only if remote)
If `clone_path != null`:
Run: `node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs cleanup "<clone_path>"`
If cleanup fails → warn: "Could not remove temp dir <clone_path> — remove manually."
If `evidence_file != null`:
Run: `node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs cleanup "<evidence_file>"`
## Step 7: HTML Report
After producing the markdown plugin-audit report (Step 5) and any cleanup (Step 6):
1. Compute a temp markdown path:
```bash
node -p "require('path').join(require('os').tmpdir(), 'sec-plugin-audit-' + Date.now() + '.md')"
```
2. Use the Write tool to save the **entire markdown report you just produced** (plugin metadata + component inventory + permission matrix + hook analysis + security findings + trust verdict) to that temp path. Verbatim.
3. Run the renderer:
```bash
node <plugin-root>/scripts/render-report.mjs plugin-audit --in "<temp-md-path>"
```
The CLI writes `reports/plugin-audit-<YYYYMMDD-HHmmss>.html` relative to CWD and prints `file:///abs/path.html` on stdout.
4. Append to your response (markdown link, no bare URL):
> **HTML report:** [Open in browser](file:///abs/path.html)
If the CLI exits non-zero, mention the error but do not block — the markdown report above is the primary deliverable.
