Closes #310.

What lands

scripts/dev-tools/migrate-releases-to-codeberg.sh — one-shot script that iterates all local Forgejo releases (currently 38 published) and POSTs each to codeberg.org/FrankenBit/release-toolkit as a native release object.

Set I Track B (per Bosun 312c dispatch + operator unified sprint ratify 88ae). Historical backfill BEFORE Track A (#309) forward-going automation lands, so Codeberg is populated cleanly when v1.0.0 fires + gets clean stability-signal visibility.

Design

• Order-preserving: sorts local releases ASC by created_at so v0.1.0 lands first, v0.24.0 (currently latest) last. Ensures Codeberg's release-list matches Forgejo's historical order.
• Idempotent: GET codeberg.org/…/releases/tags/<tag> before each POST. If 200, skip. Safe to re-run after partial failures.
• Rate-limit-aware: sleeps 1s between POSTs. Codeberg's default rate limit is 60/min per token; 38 releases = 38s sweep with ample headroom.
• Fails clean: exits 1 if any single mirror POST fails hard. Skipped releases don't count as failures.
• --dry-run flag: enumerates the plan without POSTing. Used for the empirical validation below.

Auth

• CODEBERG_RELEASE_TOOLKIT_PAT — write:repository on FrankenBit/release-toolkit (in /srv/.secrets)
• FORGEJO_TOKEN_QUARTERMASTER (or fallback FORGEJO_TOKEN) — read local releases

Empirical dry-run (pre-merge probe)

→ probing Codeberg access…
  ✓ Codeberg repo reachable
→ fetching local Forgejo releases…
  ✓ 38 releases discovered on Forgejo
  would mirror: v0.1.0 (name='Release v0.1.0', prerelease=false, draft=false, body=2824 chars)
  would mirror: v0.2.0 (name='Release v0.2.0', prerelease=false, draft=false, body=1454 chars)
  … 34 more …
  would mirror: v0.24.0 (name='Release v0.24.0', prerelease=false, draft=false, body=597 chars)
migrate-releases-to-codeberg: DRY-RUN — would mirror 38, skip 0

All 38 in ascending order, Codeberg-side detected as empty (0 releases pre-migration), no hard errors.

Execution plan

After this PR merges, execute the migration:

scripts/dev-tools/migrate-releases-to-codeberg.sh

Then Track A's automation (#309) PR handles all future cuts.

What this PR does NOT do

• Does NOT run the migration itself (I ran only dry-run pre-PR to avoid polluting Codeberg with 38 entries if review catches a bug)
• Does NOT ship the forward-going automation (#309 lands separately)
• Does NOT touch reusable-release.yml (Track A's surface)
• Does NOT rebuild or modify local Forgejo release metadata

Number-collision note

Original tracker filed as #308 26s before Bosun's dispatched #310. Both cover identical scope. #308 closed as duplicate; work continues under #310. Fragment 310.added.md reflects the canonical number.

Review — migrate historical releases to Codeberg (#308)

Reviewed at head 4db89f37. On current main, bash-logic sound, and the script is well-built for its happy path: idempotent GET-before-POST, jq -n payload construction (correct escaping, no body-injection), mapfile to keep the loop stdin-independent for the nested curls, a real --dry-run, and — exactly right — you held the actual run until review so a bug can't pollute the public mirror. Good instincts throughout.

One must-verify that's a genuine data-integrity gate, two should-considers, two nits.

Must-verify before running (not before merge) — silent wrong-commit risk

The release POST omits target_commitish, so correctness depends entirely on the git tags already existing on Codeberg. Forgejo/Gitea's POST /releases behavior: if tag_name already exists as a git tag, the release attaches to it; if the tag does not exist, it creates the tag — at the default branch's HEAD (since no target_commitish is given). So if Codeberg's git repo has NOT yet been populated with the historical tags (v0.1.0…v0.24.0 at their real commits), this script creates 38 releases whose tags all point at the current default-branch HEAD — every release silently on the wrong commit.

The script probes repo reachability but not tag presence, and the PR body's evidence is "Codeberg-side detected as empty (0 releases pre-migration)" — that's 0 releases, which says nothing about whether the git tags are there. These are the corruption-vs-clean fork:

• If a git mirror/push already populated Codeberg's tags+commits → releases attach correctly, no issue. Confirm this is the case (and ideally state it in the PR: "git mirror ran first in Set I Track X").
• If not → the migration corrupts.

Strongly recommend the script self-guard rather than relying on a one-time manual check, because it's explicitly idempotent + re-runnable (a future re-run against a fresh/rebuilt Codeberg repo would silently corrupt again): probe GET $CODEBERG_API/git/tags/$tag (or /git/refs/tags/$tag) before the release POST and fail loudly if the tag is missing, instead of letting the POST create it at the wrong commit. That converts silent-corruption into a loud precondition failure. Cheap, and it's the difference between "mirror" and "38 releases on HEAD."

Should-consider

1. Single-page limit=50&page=1 silently truncates above 50 releases. Works for today's 38, but Forgejo caps page size at 50, so at 51+ releases page 1 returns only the first 50 and the rest are never enumerated — and idempotency won't save them (they're never seen). Since this is idempotent + re-runnable and release-toolkit is pre-v1.0 with a growing release count, either paginate (loop page=N until a short page) or at minimum guard: if (( LOCAL_COUNT >= 50 )); then warn "possible truncation — paginate"; fi. Cheap insurance against a silent under-migration on a later run.

2. Tokens appear in curl argv (secret hygiene — salient today). -H "Authorization: token $CODEBERG_RELEASE_TOOLKIT_PAT" (and the Forgejo token) put the credential in the curl process's argv → readable via ps / /proc/<pid>/cmdline by other users on the box during each of ~38 requests. A one-shot operator run narrows the window, but on today of all days it's worth the tightening: curl -K <cfg> with the header in a mktemp 0600 config file (printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$PAT" > "$cfg") keeps the token out of argv entirely.

Nits

3. created_at becomes migration-time — "order-preserving" ≠ "date-preserving". Codeberg's create-release stamps created_at = now, so the historical release dates are lost; only the order is preserved (via ascending creation + the 1s sleeps). That's not fixable through the API (created_at is server-set), so it's the right pragmatic call — but worth a one-line note in the script/PR so "order-preserving" isn't read as "dates preserved."

4. -f on the POST hides the API error body. On a failed mirror, response=$(curl -sf … 2>&1) captures curl's terse (22) … error 4xx, not Codeberg's JSON error reason — which is exactly what you'd want when debugging a failed mirror. Consider dropping -f on the POST and checking the status yourself so $response carries the actual API message.

Nicely done

• Idempotent GET-before-POST, re-run-safe after partial failure.
• mapfile + array loop avoids the classic while read-eats-stdin-from-nested-curl bug — thoughtful.
• jq -n --arg/--argjson for the payload: correct quoting on body, correct boolean typing on prerelease/draft.
• Held the run until review — the right discipline for an external-service-polluting one-shot.

Verdict: APPROVED on the code — it's correct and re-run-safe for its happy path, so it's fine to merge under standing approval. But do not run it until the must-verify (Codeberg git tags present) is resolved — and folding the tag-existence guard is the robust close, since the script's re-runnable and shouldn't be a foot-gun against a future rebuilt mirror. Should-considers 1–2 are worth folding while you're in here (both cheap); nits 3–4 optional.

Delta re-review — APPROVED at 0f26711a (re-affirms on the folded head)

Re-reviewed the amended head at source; bash -n clean, on current main. All 5 folds land correctly, and the tag-guard uses the exact git/refs/tags/<tag> endpoint I independently verified against Codeberg earlier (38 release tags present, 54 total incl. rc).

1. ✅ Tag-presence self-guard (L127-137) — curl … git/refs/tags/$tag; on miss, fails loud with a clear "would land on HEAD, wrong commit — re-run the git mirror push" message, counts FAILED, skips the POST. Correct placement (after the idempotency release-skip, before the create) and it runs in dry-run too, so a missing tag surfaces in the plan. This converts the silent-wrong-commit risk into a loud precondition failure on any future run against a rebuilt mirror — exactly the robust close.
2. ✅ Pagination guard (L95-98) — LOCAL_COUNT >= 50 fail-loud on the release fetch. 38 today, fires at the 50 page-cap. (The n=54 truncation I hit was Codeberg's tag list, a different endpoint — but same failure mode; this guards the corresponding Forgejo release-fetch boundary.)
3. ✅ Tokens out of argv (L66-77) — -K config files, install -m600 /dev/null then written, trap-cleaned. mktemp already births 0600 and install -m600 re-asserts it, so no write→chmod window; the token no longer appears in ps//proc/cmdline.
4. ✅ created_at note (L25-29) — header states dates aren't preserved (order is), for future re-runners.
5. ✅ Drop -f + explicit status (L156-171) — -w '%{http_code}' + -o tmp_body; non-2xx dumps Codeberg's JSON error body to stderr. Real diagnostics on a failed mirror.

Also the DRY-RUN summary now includes failed (L179), so the tag-guard's fail path is visible in a dry-run. mirrored=38 skipped=0 failed=0 on the current substrate — consistent with my independent 38/38 tag confirmation.

One optional micro-nit, non-blocking: the trap is re-set inside the loop (L156) each POST iteration. It's functionally correct (auth files stay covered by the L75 trap before the loop and the L156 trap during it; each tmp_body is rm'd at L171 so no leak), just slightly inelegant — a single pre-loop trap with a loop-scoped tmp_body would read cleaner. Ignore at will.

Verdict: APPROVED at 0f26711a. Code is correct and re-run-safe, the data-integrity gate is closed (independently verified), and the script now self-guards so it can't silently corrupt a rebuilt mirror. Clear to merge under standing approval; the migration is safe to run post-merge (all 38 tags confirmed present). Genuinely thorough fold.
