fix(connect): local DNS failures no longer imply other devices cannot connect - #27770
A failed DNS lookup on the host still makes the CLI/logs and Settings say other devices cannot connect. Those headings now say this machine could not verify reachability. When public DNS is unknown, the diagnosis names the tunnel hostname, explains the uncertainty, and suggests comparing DNS answers after checking local DNS/VPN settings and allowing caches to refresh.
References #27250. This is the remaining small, obvious-bug correction under the contribution exception after #34866 added public-DNS classification. It preserves upstream's probes, cached/missing/unknown public-DNS branches, known-result remedies, dns_failed, network policy and rechecks. Hostname and uncertainty/comparison guidance apply only to the unknown-public-DNS branch.
Proof against upstream 4fd40e1a16e3800418b8f6a32932b68179098c8d: the regression fails on base (1 failed, 15 passed) and passes on the fix (16/16). The committed-state changed-file checks passed, including 18 adjacent tests, affected typechecks and React compiler. Real classifier/formatter transcripts (before, after) confirm cached/missing diagnoses and remedies and non-DNS output remain unchanged.
Integrated Settings verification used the real app/router/backend against isolated state, with explicit desktop/cloud boundary fixtures populated by the real classifier. It covered all three DNS outcomes (cached, missing, unknown below), plus origin failure and reachable controls. Text wraps without horizontal overflow, and More info retains the troubleshooting link. All verification overlays were restored. Method, observations and limits.
Before (unknown public DNS)
After (unknown public DNS)
No live public-DNS/cache recovery, tunnel provisioning/recovery, Clerk sign-in, Electron IPC or native-mobile proof is claimed. scenarios:prove cannot create the required authenticated managed-tunnel state; the integrated Settings pass used the explicit boundary fixtures described above.

Walkthrough
DNS failure diagnoses now distinguish inability to verify reachability from confirmation that other devices cannot reach an environment. The diagnosis, Settings message, tests, and troubleshooting guide describe DNS cache refresh and cross-network comparisons.
Changes: DNS reachability diagnosis
Layer / File(s)
Summary
DNS diagnosis and user-facing messages apps/server/src/cloud/ConnectReachability.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/SavedEnvironmentRows.tsx, apps/server/src/cloud/ConnectReachability.test.ts, docs/user/t3-connect-troubleshooting.md
The diagnosis includes the connector hostname when available and describes possible missing public records or stale or filtered host-network answers. It recommends allowing DNS caches to refresh and comparing answers across networks. The formatted failure and Settings messages distinguish DNS verification failures from other unreachable causes. Tests check the formatted message, and the troubleshooting guide describes host-specific DNS results.
The DNS failure message now names the tunnel hostname in both the CLI output and the Settings diagnosis, so users can compare DNS answers from another network as the guide describes. The change is limited to wording and documentation, and no merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation
The title names the main change: local DNS failures on the host no longer imply that other devices cannot connect. The raw summary shows the DNS diagnosis wording, the formatter heading, and the Settings description were changed to match. The title follows conventional commit style and is specific.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (a failed DNS lookup on the host makes the CLI, logs, and Settings say other devices cannot connect), the change (headings now say this machine could not verify reachability, and the unknown-public-DNS diagnosis names the tunnel hostname and suggests comparing DNS answers after refreshing caches), the scope (a small obvious-bug correction that references issue #27250 and follows up on #34866), and verification (regression test failing before and passing after, changed-file checks, runtime transcripts, and Settings screenshots, with stated limits). It maps cleanly onto the Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections of the template. The Problem section does not spell out a reproduction environment in full, and the Scope section cites a prior exception rather than a direct issue for the bug, but these are minor. The template's conventional-commit title guidance is not applicable to the body, and the agent-model attribution line is present.

Assert that the DNS diagnosis includes the connector hostname.
The guide relies on this hostname for DNS comparison, but the existing assertions would pass if it disappeared from the reason.
Suggested change

Add an assertion in the DNS-failure test for `formatReachabilityFailure` that
verifies the diagnosis includes the connector hostname `env.example.test`; keep
the existing assertion about excluding “NOT reachable from other devices.”
