fix: document SCP vs ssh:// port handling for private repo check

[MHJahanbakhsh]

Description

CodeRabbit correctly flagged that Git SCP-like remotes (user@host:path) do not support a custom port. A leading numeric segment such as git@host:2222/user/repo.git is a path namespace, not a port.

Treating it as a port would convert to https://host/user/repo and make isRepoPrivate / browserSupportedRemoteUrl hit the wrong repository.

Custom SSH ports already work via the ssh:// form (ssh://git@host:2222/user/repo.git), which URL_PATTERN_WITH_SCHEME parses while omitting the port from the HTTPS URL.

Changes

• Clarify URL_PATTERN_WITHOUT_SCHEME javadoc: SCP-like has no port; use ssh:// for custom ports
• Add regression tests that SCP-like numeric first segments stay in the HTTPS path
• Keep existing ssh://…:port/… coverage (port excluded from HTTPS path)

Test plan

• GitUtilsTest#convertSshUrlToBrowserSupportedUrl covers both forms
• CI GitUtilsTest on this PR

Fixes #32862

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Corrected handling of Git SSH-style repository URLs with numeric path segments.
  • Custom SSH ports continue to work with ssh:// URLs, while SCP-style URLs now preserve numeric path components correctly.
  • Improved conversion of SSH repository URLs to browser-compatible links.

Walkthrough

The SCP-style SSH pattern no longer treats a leading numeric path segment as a port. Custom ports use the ssh:// form. Tests verify that numeric SCP-style path segments remain in converted HTTPS URLs.

Changes

SSH URL Parsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
URL pattern and conversion coverage app/server/appsmith-server/src/main/java/com/appsmith/server/helpers/GitUtils.java, app/server/appsmith-server/src/test/java/com/appsmith/server/helpers/GitUtilsTest.java	URL_PATTERN_WITHOUT_SCHEME captures the complete SCP-style path without a port group. Documentation and tests distinguish SCP-style numeric paths from custom ports in ssh:// URLs.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f1fcc

The change clarifies SCP-like versus ssh:// port handling and adds regression coverage without introducing an actionable merge-blocking risk; it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

Poem

SCP paths keep their numbers bright,
SSH ports use their proper site.
Patterns capture the route,
Tests confirm each path throughout.
Git URLs now parse right.

- Around line 39-46: Update URL_PATTERN_WITHOUT_SCHEME and its conversion logic
so SCP-like git@host:2222/repo.git preserves 2222 as the first path segment;
only explicit ssh:// URLs with :port should treat 2222 as a custom port. Add
regression tests covering both forms and verify private checks and
browserSupportedRemoteUrl use the correct repository.
