Fixes #6340

Problem

[phone me](tel:+440000000000) rendered as <a>phone me</a> with no href. The same happened for sms:.

Two independent allowlists stripped the target:

  • react-markdown's default urlTransform only accepts http, https, irc, ircs, mailto, and xmpp.
  • The rehype-sanitize schema inherited the default href protocol list, which has the same set.

Fix

  • Add tel and sms to the sanitizer's href protocols and export a memoUrlTransform that passes those two schemes through and defers everything else to defaultUrlTransform. Both are driven by one constant so they cannot drift.
  • Pass the transform to ReactMarkdown in the memo renderer.
  • Link previews now only trigger for http(s) targets, so a bare <tel:…> line renders as a plain link instead of attempting a metadata fetch.

Both schemes hand off to the dialer or messaging app and cannot execute script, so they are in the same class as the already-permitted mailto:. javascript:, data:, and vbscript: remain blocked. Scheme matching stays exact-case, mirroring how the sanitizer already treats https: vs HTTPS:.

Tests

  • memo-content-security.test.tsx: tel: and sms: hrefs survive; script-capable schemes are still stripped.
  • memo-content-paragraph.test.tsx: handoff links do not get preview cards.

Full web vitest suite passes (178 files, 1416 tests).

Markdown links using the tel: and sms: schemes lost their href because
neither react-markdown's default urlTransform nor the rehype-sanitize
href protocol list allowed them. Both schemes hand off to another app
and cannot run script, so treat them like the already-permitted mailto:.

Link previews now only trigger for http(s) targets so a bare handoff
link does not attempt a metadata fetch.

Walkthrough

Memo markdown now preserves tel: and sms: links through URL transformation and sanitization. Other URLs continue through the default transformation. Link previews now accept only http: and https: URLs. Tests cover handoff links, unsafe schemes, plain links, and autolink detection.

returning it: update the URL transformation logic around HANDOFF_LINK_PROTOCOLS
to compare scheme.toLowerCase() and return the URL with that lowercase scheme,
preserving the remainder unchanged. Add mixed-case TEL and SMS coverage.

In `@web/tests/memo-content-paragraph.test.tsx`:
- Line 36: Update collectSingleLinkHrefs to configure its test renderer with the
production memoUrlTransform, ensuring tel: and sms: links reach
getSingleLinkHref for rejection; extend the test input with an sms: case while
preserving the existing URL assertions.

Comment thread web/src/components/MemoContent/constants.ts
Comment thread web/tests/memo-content-paragraph.test.tsx Outdated
The paragraph preview test rendered with react-markdown's default
transform, which strips tel: before getSingleLinkHref runs, so the
assertion passed without the http(s) gate. Use memoUrlTransform and
add an sms: case so the test fails if the gate is removed.
