breezy: invalid URL: ${url}

Error message

breezy: invalid URL: ${url}

What it means

Breezy validates URLs via `assertBreezyUrl`. The 'invalid URL' variant fires when `new URL(url)` throws — the input is not parseable as an absolute URL. First of three sequential SSRF guards.

// Per-tenant subdomains are the variable part, so SSRF defence uses a regex
// match on `<safe-tenant>.breezy.hr` rather than a static allowlist (same
// approach as the recruitee / bamboohr providers).
//
// Breezy boards expose every published position as a public JSON array at
// `<tenant>.breezy.hr/json` — title, absolute url, location, and a published
// date, all in the list payload at zero token cost (no per-job request, so the
// scanner stays zero-token). Breezy's authenticated REST API (api.breezy.hr) is
// intentionally NOT used; only the public board feed.

Solutions

1. Provide a full `https://<tenant>.breezy.hr` URL.
2. Validate entry URLs at config load to surface the offending row.
3. Strip whitespace from templated URL fields.

Example fix

# before
- name: Acme
  api: acme.breezy.hr

# after
- name: Acme
  api: https://acme.breezy.hr

function isValidAbsoluteUrl(u) {
  try { new URL(u); return true; } catch { return false; }
}
for (const f of ['api', 'careers_url']) {
  if (entry[f] && !isValidAbsoluteUrl(entry[f])) {
    throw new Error(`breezy: entry ${entry.name} has malformed ${f}: ${entry[f]}`);
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: `assertBreezyUrl(url)` (called on the derived `${origin}` or an `api:` field) receives a value `new URL()` cannot parse: schemeless host, protocol-relative URL, empty string, or illegal characters.

Common situations: An `api:` field set without `https://`, a careers_url broken by templating, or config injection mangling the scheme.
