The punctuation fix is mergeable with a small usability tradeoff: maintainers must copy reported addresses rather than click them. Preserving clickable links would remove that inconvenience.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix: preserve punctuation in broken link report" matches the change. The diff wraps the broken URL and referrer values in Markdown inline-code delimiters in src/sections/404/index.js, so trailing characters such as parentheses are kept intact in the generated issue body. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional commit prefix. It names the main behavior change without listing files.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #8333 requires the Report Broken Link issue to report the exact URL that returned a 404, including trailing characters such as ), . or *. The issue proposes wrapping the URLs in backticks in the issue body in src/sections/404/index.js. The whole-PR diff (merge base 9af129c to head 8b7d552) changes only that file. The brokenUrl line becomes - Broken URL: \${brokenUrl}`and the referrer line becomes- Referrer: `${referrer}``. Inline code keeps trailing punctuation literal, so the generated issue body preserves the full URL. This matches the requested approach. The issue does not request automated tests or other non-coding work. The PR description reports manual local reproduction only. No automated test was added. The issue does not require one, so this does not fail the assessment. Residual uncertainty: a URL that contains a backtick character would still end the inline code span early. The issue does not address this case, and no requirement covers it.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff changes two lines in src/sections/404/index.js. Both lines wrap a value in the generated issue body in inline code, which is the change #8333 requests. No other file or behavior changes. The encodeURIComponent call, the surrounding issue-report flow, and the expected-behavior and screenshot sections are unchanged. No unrelated change was found.

Add a regression test for the report body.

Add a test to test:unit that checks the decoded issue body preserves a trailing ) in Markdown-safe form for both URLs. Bare URLs can cause GitHub to exclude that parenthesis from the link.

Let reporters include the full broken URL safely.

When the broken URL has a query string, sanitizeUrl removes it before the issue body is built. The report can therefore omit information needed to reproduce the failure. Provide a privacy-aware way for reporters to include the full URL, such as an explicit opt-in.

Keep reported URLs clickable.

The code spans prevent GitHub from linking ordinary URLs. Maintainers must copy the addresses to investigate them. Render valid URLs as links while preserving trailing punctuation.

Nice fix, and a clean, minimal one. Wrapping both the broken URL and the referrer in backticks is exactly what #8333 asked for, and it covers the trailing )}, ., and * cases in one stroke, since the values are now shown literally instead of being parsed as links.

Two things I checked and liked:

• The change touches only the two lines in the generated issue body, so nothing else in the 404 flow is affected.
• The referrer already falls back to "Direct / Bookmark" when empty, so the code span never renders blank.

One non-blocking question: did your local reproduction also cover a URL ending in . or *, or just )? Either way, this reads well.

[Ummehani18]

Thank you for the review!

I reproduced the issue locally with a URL ending in ). I haven't separately tested the . and * cases, but wrapping the values in inline code ensures these characters are displayed literally rather than interpreted as Markdown syntax.

I'll keep those additional edge cases in mind for future testing.
