fix(arg-parsing): allow project display names with spaces in org/project argument

[sentry]

This PR addresses CLI-1RA, where sentry issue list (and other commands using parseOrgProjectArg) would throw a ValidationError when a project display name containing spaces was provided in the org/project argument format (e.g., sentry/My Project).

The root cause was an inconsistency in src/lib/arg-parsing.ts. While bare project slugs (My Project) and leading-slash project slugs (/My Project) correctly fell back to a fuzzy display-name search when spaces were detected, the explicit org/project path in parseSlashOrgProject directly called validateResourceId, which strictly rejects spaces.

This fix aligns the behavior across all input forms:

1. src/lib/arg-parsing.ts: In parseSlashOrgProject, if the project segment of an org/project argument contains spaces (i.e., looksLikeDisplayName is true), it now returns a project-search type, preserving the provided organization slug.
2. src/lib/arg-parsing.ts: The ParsedOrgProject type's project-search variant was updated to include an optional org field to carry this context.
3. src/lib/resolve-target.ts: In resolveOrgProjectTarget, the display-name based project search (isDisplayName path) now filters the list of organizations to search within if an org is provided in the project-search object, ensuring the search remains scoped to the user's explicit organization.

Fixes CLI-1RA

the approach is right — falling back to project-search when the project segment has spaces — but the implementation is incomplete:

3 tests fail. parseOrgProjectArg("sentry/My Project") no longer throws ValidationError, but three tests still assert it does:

• test/lib/arg-parsing.test.ts:220 — "project with spaces in explicit mode throws ValidationError"
• test/lib/arg-parsing.test.ts:231 — "org with underscores and project with spaces throws ValidationError"
• test/lib/arg-parsing.test.ts:1133 — "underscores with spaces in explicit mode throws ValidationError"

These need to be updated to assert the new project-search return shape (with org field).

resolveTargetsFromParsedArg still broken for display names. This function (used by issue list, all alert commands) unconditionally calls findProjectsBySlug(parsed.projectSlug) in the project-search case (line 1882). When parsed.originalSlug is set, it should skip the slug lookup and go straight to triageProjectNotFound — the same pattern already used in resolveOrgProjectTarget (line 1643) and handleProjectSearch (line 786). It also needs to filter orgs by parsed.org when present.

The Cursor Bugbot comments flagged the same gap — the parse-layer fix alone doesn't help if the resolution layer still passes a display name to findProjectsBySlug.

@jared-outpost fix all these issues

[jared-outpost]

pushed fbeb61a with both fixes:

1. tests — updated the 3 tests that still expected ValidationError for org/project args with spaces in the project segment. they now assert the new project-search return shape with the org field.

2. resolveTargetsFromParsedArg — applied the same display-name handling pattern used in resolveOrgProjectTarget and handleProjectSearch: when originalSlug is set, skip findProjectsBySlug and go through triageProjectNotFound for fuzzy matching. also scopes the org search when parsed.org is present.

all arg-parsing (180), property (34), resolve-target (151), and org-list (45) tests pass.

@jared-outpost did you resolved all the issues?

[jared-outpost]

the two issues from my review are fixed (test assertions + resolveTargetsFromParsedArg display-name handling). CI was failing on a biome formatting nit in resolve-target.ts — just pushed 5854391 to fix that. waiting on CI to go green now.

[MathurAditya724]

@jared-outpost there are still pending review comments, resolve them

[jared-outpost]

Pushed 54981ae — both handleProjectSearch implementations (in org-list.ts and project/list.ts) now forward parsed.org and filter the org list for display-name searches. This closes the gap where sentry team list org/My Project (and similar commands using dispatchOrgScopedList) would search across all orgs instead of the one the user specified.

The three items from my earlier review are all resolved:

• Tests updated (done in prior commit)
• resolveTargetsFromParsedArg fixed (done in prior commit)
• handleProjectSearch org scoping (this commit)

[jared-outpost]

fix-ci: attempt 1 — lint error useMaxParams on handleProjectSearch in project/list.ts (5 params, max 4). refactoring to use an options object.

[jared-outpost]

fix-ci: attempt 2 — biome formatting on the options object in handleProjectNotFound. running lint:fix.

@jared-outpost, you missed a few review comments

[jared-outpost]

fixed in 5d90116 — the org scope was being dropped in fuzzy recovery paths because:

1. handleProjectNotFound in project/list.ts didn't receive or forward scopedOrg to the recovery handleProjectSearch call
2. the org filter was gated on isDisplayName && scopedOrg, so slug-based recovery lookups (where originalSlug is cleared) lost the org constraint
3. resolveEffectiveOrg wasn't called for project-search mode, so DSN-style org identifiers (e.g. o1081365) wouldn't resolve

also improved the error message when a specified org is inaccessible — it now says which org was searched instead of the generic "any accessible organization".

[MathurAditya724]

I reviewed this against the stated intent: allow display-name projects in org/project form while preserving explicit-org scoping consistently. This is not ready to merge because the implementation still loses org scoping in important resolution paths.

Blocking findings:

• src/commands/project/list.ts:625-630 scopes only foundOrgs, but projects remains unscoped. After fuzzy recovery, handleProjectNotFound recurses with scopedOrg, but the recovered slug lookup calls findProjectsBySlug() across all orgs and returns from the unscoped projects array at src/commands/project/list.ts:647-660. sentry project list org-a/My Project can therefore return org-b/<recovered-slug> if that recovered slug exists outside org-a.
• src/lib/org-list.ts:801-804 has the same issue in the shared list handler. orgs is filtered to the explicit org, but matches is not; the later fetch path at src/lib/org-list.ts:865-879 operates on unscoped matches.
• src/lib/resolve-target.ts:1840-1857 still does not resolve DSN-style org IDs for explicit or org-all branches. DSN-style org resolution was added only in the project-search branch at src/lib/resolve-target.ts:1898-1901, so commands that directly use resolveTargetsFromParsedArg(parseOrgProjectArg(...)) remain inconsistent for inputs like o123/my-project or o123/.

Test coverage is also too parser-heavy for this change. I would expect tests for cross-org duplicate recovered slugs, shared org-list recovery with scoped org, and DSN-style org identifiers through explicit and org-all resolver branches.

[jared-outpost]

addressed all three blocking findings in 607647e — the root issue was that org-scoping only filtered the orgs list, not the matched projects/matches, so a recovered or directly-matched slug from another org could still leak through.

• project/list.ts handleProjectSearch: recovered-slug lookup now filters projects by scopedOrg
• org-list.ts handleProjectSearch: shared list handler filters matches by scopedOrg before the fetch fan-out
• resolve-target.ts: both resolveOrgProjectTarget and resolveTargetsFromParsedArg project-search branches filter matches by scopedOrg; also added resolveEffectiveOrg to the explicit and org-all branches of resolveTargetsFromParsedArg so o123/... resolves consistently

added tests for cross-org duplicate recovery, shared org-list scoped recovery, and DSN-style org IDs through the explicit/org-all resolver branches. each was verified to fail before the fix.

[MathurAditya724]

Re-reviewed the latest head (607647e) against my previous findings.

The explicit-org scoping issue is fixed: project/list.ts, org-list.ts, and both relevant resolve-target.ts project-search paths now filter the matched project list, not just the org list. The DSN-style org gap is also fixed for resolveTargetsFromParsedArg explicit and org-all branches. The new tests cover scoped same-slug leaks and DSN-style org identifiers through the resolver paths I was concerned about.

CI is green. No remaining blocking findings from me.
