Fixes #647

Problem

The container validator strips a single trailing DNS root dot from the host before judging (app.py, #466), and its percent-decoded return path rebuilt the returned URL from that stripped host — so the dot was lost only for the percent-encoded spelling:

Input Container (before) Worker
http://example.com./ http://example.com./ http://example.com./
http://example.com%2e/ http://example.com/ http://example.com./
http://example.com%2e/path http://example.com/path http://example.com./path

The validated URL is the crawl record and the fetched URL, so the same target was recorded under two different URLs depending on spelling, defeating cross-crawler dedup/comparison.

Solution

Track whether the (decoded, UTS-46-mapped) host ended in a root dot before the judging strip (has_root_dot), and re-attach it to the host passed to _url_with_host on the percent-decoded DNS return path. Judging still uses the stripped host, so verdicts are unchanged. IP literals keep the canonical-address return path — WHATWG serializes an IP host without a root dot, and both validators already agreed there (verified: 8.8.8.8./, 8.8.8.8%2e/, 8%2e8%2e8%2e8%2e/ all return http://8.8.8.8/ on both sides). A percent-encoded U+3002 (%E3%80%82), which maps to the root dot, is fixed by the same mechanism.

Verification

  • Reproduced on main a6639b82 driving both real validators (Python validate_crawl_url, Worker validateCrawlUrl under Bun): the issue's table reproduced exactly.
  • Post-fix differential vs the real Worker validator: the 18-case battery (literal/percent spellings, subdomain, port, userinfo, ?# markers, IP forms, refusals) byte-identical, plus a 150-spelling generated differential (6 hosts × 5 dot spellings × 5 tails) with zero diffs.
  • New tests: Python battery test_returns_the_root_dot_for_percent_encoded_spellings and a TS pin of the Worker's forms. Python 58/58, TS 39/39 pass. Ablation exact: with app.py reverted, only the new Python test fails.
  • Acceptance unchanged: localhost%2e and example.com%2e%2e/ (empty label) stay refused on both sides.
  • Ruff format clean. Single-repo: no validate_crawl_url/validateCrawlUrl copy exists in opencode, openchamber or dezren39/nix.

…returned URL for percent-encoded spellings (#647)

Judging strips a single trailing root dot from the host, and the
percent-decoded return path rebuilt the URL from that stripped host,
so http://example.com%2e/ came back as http://example.com/ while the
literal spelling http://example.com./ and the Worker validator both
returned http://example.com./ — the same target recorded under two
URLs. Track whether the mapped host ended in a root dot before the
strip and re-attach it on the percent-decoded DNS return path. IP
literals keep the canonical-address return (WHATWG serializes them
without a root dot, as both validators already did). Verdicts are
unchanged: localhost%2e and example.com%2e%2e stay refused.

Tests: new Python battery (literal controls, %2e/%2E, subdomain,
port, userinfo, ?# markers, percent-encoded U+3002, IP controls,
refusals) and a TS pin of the Worker's forms for the same spellings.
