Description

Friendly endpoint names currently hide the destination address in the resource overview. Show the masked destination alongside the friendly name so developers can identify the host and port without hovering or navigating.

Each explicit address stays on one line and uses an ellipsis when space is limited. The existing dashboard tooltip exposes the complete masked display URL on hover and keyboard focus, including when tabbing scrolls the endpoint list. Escape dismissal remains effective after scrolling. Grouped secondary addresses remain visible, and non-clickable addresses are keyboard focusable so their tooltips are accessible too. Long unbroken friendly names wrap within the endpoint list without introducing horizontal scrolling; addresses do not wrap.

Endpoint display and tooltip text omit URL userinfo and fragments and mask query values. Original link destinations, new-tab behavior, and unsupported-scheme handling are preserved. Redaction is for display only: the original, untruncated URL remains in the link's href.

The endpoint presentation change is limited to the modern resource overview; the shared tooltip provider also receives the focus-scrolling correction. This does not change Internal endpoint terminology, hosting behavior, or URL helper contracts. No new dependencies or supported public APIs.

Related issue: None.

User-facing usage

Open a resource's Overview and read its Endpoints card. A friendly name such as Catalog API appears with its masked address. Hover an ellipsized address or focus it with the keyboard to read the full masked display value. The original, untruncated destination is still used when opening a link.

Screenshots / Recordings

This PR includes UI changes. These synthetic-data captures show ordinary, grouped secondary, and long endpoint addresses. Each address is one line in the card; the full masked URL is available through the existing tooltip.

Mobile: 390x844

Tablet: 768x1024

Desktop: 1440x900

Full masked URL on hover: mobile 390x844

Full masked URL on keyboard focus: tablet 768x1024

The captures show the compact-address implementation on base 9f0961d0c7173732f45ce88d571c8b53f8059934, before refreshing this branch onto 00d1e6694a7fd94f0a7ee2fc48aa7ad2faef14c2. The relevant dashboard, browser-test, shared-test, and build inputs are unchanged between those bases. They are implementation-state captures, not a main-branch before/after comparison. They predate the long-friendly-name containment correction in 6bac32fe281939a7a00640cd43eaf7cde309e404 and the focus-scrolling/credential-redaction corrections in ec6dde181aa008a8d37732e56d2e1f5e304dc983, and do not demonstrate those edge cases. Long-friendly-name containment was separately reproduced and visually inspected at all three sizes. The later corrections are covered by the rendering and browser regressions below; the existing captures are not presented as fresh evidence for them.

Validation

Current review corrections in ec6dde181aa008a8d37732e56d2e1f5e304dc983:

• dotnet test --project tests\Aspire.Dashboard.Tests\Aspire.Dashboard.Tests.csproj --no-launch-profile -- --filter-class "*.DashboardUIHelpersTests" --filter-not-trait "quarantined=true" --filter-not-trait "outerloop=true" — Passed, 22/22. Covers userinfo/fragment removal, query-value masking, escaped paths, IPv6 authority, and preservation of non-credential path characters.
• dotnet test --project tests\Aspire.Dashboard.Components.Tests\Aspire.Dashboard.Components.Tests.csproj --no-launch-profile -- --filter-class "*.ResourceOverviewEndpointTests" --filter-class "*.ResourceOverviewPersistenceTests" --filter-class "*.ResourceOverviewTerminalTests" --filter-not-trait "quarantined=true" --filter-not-trait "outerloop=true" — Passed, 14/14. The five new endpoint cases assert exact display/tooltip text, unchanged href/target/rel, and primary/secondary/plain/unsupported-scheme semantics. Before the fix, four redaction cases failed and the query-only control passed.
• dotnet test --project tests\Aspire.Dashboard.Playwright.Tests\Aspire.Dashboard.Playwright.Tests.csproj --no-launch-profile -- --filter-method "*.Endpoints_ShowMaskedAddressesAndFullTooltipsOnHoverAndKeyboardFocus" --filter-method "*.AppBar_TooltipDoesNotBlockAdjacentHeaderActions" --filter-not-trait "quarantined=true" — Passed, 4/4. Explicitly opts into only these browser outerloop scenarios. Real Tab navigation scrolls the endpoint list for links, secondary addresses, and unsupported-scheme spans at 390x844, 768x1024, and 1440x900; the complete masked tooltip remains visible after scroll-event processing. Also checks Escape dismissal, hover behavior, one-line clipping, long-name containment, original link attributes, and the adjacent header-action interaction. The focus-scroll endpoint regression failed at all three sizes before the correction. Screenshot capture leftovers were removed from the permanent test.
• git diff --check — Passed.

Earlier validation: the targeted endpoint browser class passed 3/3 before the base refresh; the extended long-name containment regression failed 3/3 before its CSS fix and passed 3/3 afterward. The persistence/terminal component classes passed 9/9 after the base refresh and are included in the current 14-test run above. Temporary test hosts and browsers were disposed. Touch-only interaction and screen-reader speech were not manually verified.

CI results are head-specific. Checks on 6bac32fe281939a7a00640cd43eaf7cde309e404 reported 143 successful and 17 skipped checks before this update; these local results do not replace CI results for the new head. The older 0c23450e0a8d603f7f5bbefcd9ce192e12733157 run concluded cancelled with separately investigated extension E2E failures.

Two things to fix before merge:

1. The keyboard tooltip is dismissed when tabbing to an address scrolls the Endpoints list.
2. Credentials in the URL's userinfo, and tokens in its fragment, are now shown in the card for friendly-named URLs.

The test comment at line 79 goes with the first fix. The other two test comments are smaller and can be handled in this PR or as a quick follow-up.

I did not build this PR or run the dashboard or its tests. I checked the tooltip behavior by running this PR's app-tooltips.js in headless Chromium, on a stand-in scrolling list with a stubbed fluent-tooltip. The masking finding comes from reading the code.

PLAYWRIGHT_INSTALLED=true was set for browser coverage. Only the explicitly approved endpoint outerloop cases were selected.

Functional coverage

• Friendly names remain visible alongside actual addresses.
• Link destinations and safe new-tab attributes are preserved.
• Query values are masked, user info and fragments excluded from display.
• Non-HTTP addresses and secondary addresses remain keyboard accessible.
• Phone (390x844), tablet (768x1024), and desktop (1440x900) cover long names/URLs, overflow, hover/focus tooltips, scroll-triggered repositioning, and Escape dismissal.
• The initial tablet failure was an assertion that focus must scroll even when the target was already visible. The test now deliberately constrains the list height during this scenario rather than relying on responsive layout to hide the target.

Live preview

• AppHost: E:\GitHub\copilot-worktrees\aspire\ievangelist-visible-endpoint-addresses\playground\TestShop\TestShop.AppHost\TestShop.AppHost.csproj.
• Started once with the repo-built CLI, start --isolated --non-interactive, and trusted-local anonymous dashboard environment settings.
• Dashboard: https://testshop.dev.localhost:59423
• Open catalog example: https://testshop.dev.localhost:59423/resources/catalogservice-qbwbuzgy
• aspire wait aspire-dashboard and aspire wait frontend both passed.
• Browser inspection confirmed Catalog API and Swagger UI have their own visible addresses and correct destinations. An endpoint-card screenshot was captured in the browser canvas.
• AppHost PID: 60428; retained for inspection.
• The other session's existing AppHost was not changed or stopped.

Limitations

• TerminalHost resources failed to start because their native executable is not built; their shell resources remain waiting.
• Two sample parameters are unresolved: storefront certificate and support contact email.
• Existing dependency advisory warnings remain; this validation does not establish their baseline status or remediate them.
• Report posting approved by the user. No review requested, Agent merge enabled, PR merge performed, or remote branch push performed.

Logs

Alongside this report: restore.log, cli-build.log, helper-tests.log, component-tests.log, browser-tests.log, and testshop-start.log.

Result

Endpoint-focused validation passed: 30 cases total. Live TestShop retained for UX inspection; full application validation remains limited by the resources noted above.

📝 Documentation has been drafted in microsoft/aspire.dev#2064 targeting release/17.0.

Documented the resource Overview Endpoints card showing masked addresses next to friendly names in dashboard/explore.mdx. Triggered signals: dashboard_user_facing_page_changed (ResourceOverview.razor), pr_body_has_user_facing_section ("User-facing usage" heading), pr_body_has_cli_flag_mention (likely a false positive from test command text).
