Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive URL replacements feature to mvx, allowing users to redirect URLs for tools and dependencies to internal mirrors, proxies, or alternative sources. This is essential for enterprise environments with restricted internet access or custom artifact repositories.

Features Added

🔄 URL Replacements

  • Simple string replacements: Direct hostname/URL substitutions
  • Regex pattern replacements: Advanced pattern matching with capture groups
  • Deterministic processing order: Simple patterns processed before regex patterns
  • First-match-wins behavior: Consistent with mise tool behavior
  • Comprehensive validation: Input validation and error handling

📚 Documentation

  • Complete user guide: /website/content/url-replacements.md
  • Configuration examples: JSON5 format with detailed explanations
  • Use cases: Enterprise proxies, mirrors, custom repositories
  • Processing order: Clear explanation of pattern precedence

🧪 Testing

  • Comprehensive test suite: 100+ test cases covering all scenarios
  • Edge case handling: Empty inputs, invalid patterns, circular replacements
  • Integration tests: Real-world usage patterns
  • Performance tests: Efficient processing of large URL sets

Configuration Example

{
  "url_replacements": {
    // Simple hostname replacements (processed first)
    "github.com": "github.internal.company.com",
    "maven.apache.org": "nexus.company.com/repository/maven-central",
    
    // Regex patterns (processed second)
    "regex:^https://repo1\.maven\.org/maven2/(.*)$": "https://nexus.internal/repository/maven-public/$1",
    "regex:^http://(.+)$": "https://$1"
  }
}

Implementation Details

Core Components

  • pkg/tools/url_replacements.go: Main implementation with URLReplacer struct
  • pkg/config/config.go: Configuration integration
  • Deterministic ordering: Simple patterns → Regex patterns → Alphabetical within type
  • Validation: Pattern compilation and replacement testing
  • Logging: Verbose output for debugging replacements

Processing Order

  1. Simple string patterns (e.g., "github.com": "internal.com")
  2. Regex patterns (e.g., "regex:^http://(.+)$": "https://$1")
  3. Alphabetical sorting within each type for consistency
  4. First match wins - processing stops after first successful replacement

Debug Improvements

To help diagnose CI test failures, this PR also includes extensive debugging enhancements:

🔍 Comprehensive CI Debugging

  • System diagnostics: CPU, memory, disk space monitoring
  • Network connectivity: DNS resolution and HTTP connectivity tests
  • Environment analysis: CI detection, environment variables, paths
  • File system debugging: Directory structures, permissions, file sizes
  • Process monitoring: Command timing, exit codes, resource usage
  • Error pattern detection: Network, permissions, disk space, timeout errors

🐛 Enhanced Test Output

This commit implements comprehensive URL replacement functionality for enterprise
environments, along with shell integration, environment management improvements,
and enhanced test reliability.

**URL Replacement Features:**
- Global URL replacement configuration in ~/.mvx/config.json5
- Support for simple string replacements (github.com -> nexus.internal)
- Support for regex replacements with capture groups
- CLI commands for managing URL replacements
- Automatic integration with all tool downloads
- First-match-wins processing for predictable behavior
- Comprehensive validation for regex patterns
