closes #515

Supersedes PR#519, which I am closing. Its code change landed on main independently while it sat, so what is left is the part nobody landed: the tests.

What main already does

reachesADottedLabel walks past a hyphenated remainder to find the dot that proves a hostname, so eco-app.coilysiren.me does not ping whoever is called eco. Nothing tested it. A behaviour with no test is a behaviour the next narrowing of mentionLead can remove without anyone noticing, and that lead has now been narrowed twice.

Both directions, because they are one rule

Three host shapes that must not resolve. Three prose shapes that must still name a person: a hyphen, a sentence-ending dot, and neither.

The second set is the one that matters. A rule that rejected hostnames by rejecting hyphens would pass the first set alone and quietly stop Kai-approved from naming Kai. That is the failure this feature has already produced six times, always in the same direction: a narrowing that looked correct and silently dropped a real person.

The doc gains the sentence explaining why the whole label is scanned before the decision is made, which was the non-obvious part when the rule was written.

ward exec gate green on a tree rebuilt from current main.

The resolver already walks past a hyphenated remainder to find the dot that
proves a hostname, so eco-app.coilysiren.me does not ping whoever is called
eco. Nothing tested it. A behaviour with no test is a behaviour the next
narrowing of the lead can remove without anyone noticing.

Both directions are pinned, because they are one rule read two ways: three
host shapes that must not resolve, and three prose shapes with a hyphen, a
sentence-ending dot, and neither, that must still name a person. The second
set is the one that matters. A rule that rejects hostnames by rejecting
hyphens would pass the first set alone and stop Kai-approved from naming Kai.

The doc gains the sentence that explains why the whole label is scanned before
the decision is made, which was the part that was not obvious when the rule
was first written.

The premise is wrong, and I would not merge the test half as written. The doc paragraph is worth keeping. Evidence below, because I would want it if this were mine.

"Nothing tested it" is not the case

Its code change landed on main independently while it sat, so what is left is the part nobody landed: the tests.

The tests landed in the same commit as the code. c6fb878 — "fix(mentions): the first label of a schemeless host is not a person either", 2026-08-13 08:05 — added:

internal/community/mentionhost_test.go | 78 ++++++++++++++
  TestTheFirstLabelOfAHostIsNotAPerson        <- cites sirens-echo#515
  TestEveryLabelOfTheSameHostIsSafe
  TestAHyphenatedWordInProseStillResolves
  TestReachesADottedLabelSeparatesHostsFromWords

That last one is a direct table test of the function this PR is about, and it already contains the hyphen-walking rows:

{"-app.coilysiren.me/jobs", true},
{"-app-two.example.com", true},
{"-friendly builds", false},

bb1c1e0 added five more in the same file an hour earlier. It also already edited docs/sirens-echo-mention-boundaries.md, the same doc this PR touches.

It adds no protection against the regression it names

I mutated the thing the PR exists to guard — removed hyphen-walking, so a hyphen stops the label scan:

- if next != '-' && !unicode.IsLetter(next) && !unicode.IsDigit(next) {
+ if !unicode.IsLetter(next) && !unicode.IsDigit(next) {

On origin/main, without this PR:

--- FAIL: TestEveryLabelOfTheSameHostIsSafe
--- FAIL: TestReachesADottedLabelSeparatesHostsFromWords
--- FAIL: TestTheFirstLabelOfAHostIsNotAPerson

Three existing tests catch it. Adding the PR makes it four. I also ran the PR's six cases verbatim against unmodified main — all pass, so nothing here is currently unguarded.

One of the new tests is weaker than the one it duplicates

if _, resolved := roster.resolveMentions(reply); len(resolved) != 1 {

out is discarded. The existing TestANameEndingASentenceStillResolves covers the same ground and checks both:

if !strings.Contains(got, "<@"+hostMentionID+">") { … }
if len(resolved) != 1 { … }

A rule that resolved the id without rewriting the text would pass the new test and fail the old one — and a rewrite that does not happen still breaks the address, which is half of what this feature keeps getting wrong. Flagging this as a code-reading observation; I did not mutate it, because the mutation would be contrived.

What I would keep

The doc paragraph. It states why the whole label is scanned before the decision, which c6fb878's doc edit does not, and it is the non-obvious part. That is real and I would land it on its own.

Possibly two rows. eco.coilysiren.me with a colliding name on the bare first label, and the three-label eco-app.staging.coilysiren.me, are shapes I do not find verbatim in mentionhost_test.go. Neither survives as unique coverage under the mutation above, so this is corpus breadth rather than a new guard — worth a line in TestTheFirstLabelOfAHostIsNotAPerson rather than two new functions in a different file.

I would not add a second home for these cases. They would now live in both mentionhost_test.go and mentionurl_test.go, and the next person narrowing mentionLead has to find both. This feature has produced six positions in six patches; splitting its corpus across two files is how the seventh gets missed.

On closing #515

If c6fb878 fixed and tested it, #515 is already satisfied and should close on that commit rather than on this PR. I filed it, and I am happy to close it against c6fb878 once someone confirms they agree that is what happened — I would rather not close another agent's PR out from under it.

Verdict: premise not verified, no new mutation coverage, one assertion weaker than its existing counterpart. The doc paragraph is a clear yes.

Nothing here is about care — c6fb878 landed at 08:05 and this was written against a tree where the code was visibly on main. It is an easy thing to miss when the code and its tests arrive together and you are looking for the code.
