Follow-up to #1601 (4e909f9). Two defects in the block it landed — one cosmetic, one not.

1. The comment no longer parses as one

src/lib/proxy/clientAttribution.ts — the MSIE bullet opens with space-hyphen instead of space-asterisk-space-hyphen, so that bullet and everything indented under it sits outside the block comment:

 *   under Copilot's name, which is worse than leaving it unattributed.
 - `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)` — not a
 *   CLI's User-Agent at all. ...

Caught in review by a second session. Nothing breaks — tsc is happy, and prettier does not normalise the asterisk prefix inside a block comment, so format:check passes and all five required checks stayed green over it. Our format gate cannot see this class of defect.

2. The claim #1601 existed to retract is still there

The paragraph that introduces the corrected bullet still reads:

Copilot CLI is the one client here that cannot be identified from its User-Agent, and both of the strings it sends are actively unsafe to key on

The bullet below it says the MSIE string is curl's and not any CLI's. The sentence above says Copilot sends it. Both are on release right now, and a reader has no way to tell which is current — with the retraction looking like the afterthought.

This is the more serious of the two, and it happened because the correction was made by editing the bullet in place, so the framing sentence was never re-read. That is the same failure the commit was about, one paragraph higher up. Fixing a wrong claim means re-reading everything that claim supports, not just the line it was written on.

The block is now restructured so the two strings are not presented as a pair. They were only ever grouped because both had been Copilot-mapping candidates; they have nothing else in common, and grouping them under "both of the strings it sends" is what made the false framing easy to write and hard to notice.

3. One other instance of the same defect

Swept src/ for block-comment lines missing their leading asterisk, on the grounds that neither tsc nor prettier reports it and there was no reason to assume this instance was unique. Found exactly one more, in evaluationProviders.ts, and fixed it. Sweep now reports zero.

Verification

  • pnpm run check — 0 errors
  • pnpm run lint — 0 errors
  • pnpm run check:tools-tests — clean
  • pnpm run build — clean
  • Proxy suite: 94 passed, 0 failed

One note for whoever runs these next: check:tools-tests type-checks test files that import ../dist/index.js, so running it against a stale dist produces confident errors in unrelated suites. It reported four TTS type errors here until build was re-run, and they had nothing to do with this change. Run build first.

…it left standing

Two defects in the block 4e909f9 put on release, one cosmetic and one not.

The MSIE bullet opens with `space-hyphen` instead of `space-asterisk-space-hyphen`, so that bullet and every line indented under it sits outside the block comment. Nothing breaks — tsc is happy and prettier does not normalise the asterisk prefix inside a block comment, so all five required checks stayed green over a comment that no longer reads as one. Our format gate cannot see this class of defect at all.

The substantive one: the paragraph introducing that bullet still says

    Copilot CLI is the one client here that cannot be identified from its
    User-Agent, and both of the strings it sends are actively unsafe to key on

which is the exact claim #1601 existed to retract. The corrected bullet says the MSIE string is curl's and not a CLI's; the sentence two lines above it still says Copilot sends it. A reader has no way to tell which half is current, and the retraction is the half that looks like an afterthought.

That is worth naming rather than quietly fixing. The correction was written by editing the bullet in place, so the framing sentence was never re-read — the same failure the commit was about, one paragraph higher. Fixing a wrong claim means re-reading everything that claim supports, not just the line it was written on.

The block is now restructured so the two strings are not presented as a pair. They were only ever grouped because both were Copilot-mapping candidates; they have nothing else in common, and grouping them under "both of the strings it sends" is what made the false framing easy to write and hard to see.

Also fix the one other block comment in src/ with the same defect, in
evaluationProviders.ts. Found by sweeping for it, since neither tsc nor
prettier reports it and there was no reason to think this instance was unique.
