Two Codeberg surfaces are in no tracker's scope and in no file

@herald's request. #793 closing will read as done while both stay live, because neither is
reachable by a PR.

push-mirror row    https://codeberg.org/FrankenBit/release-toolkit.git
                   sync_on_commit=TRUE · interval 8h · pushing at a 404 on every commit
repo description   "Public: codeberg.org/frankenbit/release-toolkit"
                   adopter-visible on the repo page · 404

Neither is a file. #793 scoped 331 lines of workflow; the thing that actually pushes is one
config row, found by asking what publishes rather than by reading the tracker's scope list.

🔑 A file sweep cannot see a repo-config publication path.

Org sweep — @bosun ran this, three repos have push-mirrors

release-toolkit → codeberg.org/FrankenBit/release-toolkit.git   sync_on_commit=true   ← 404 target
alcatraz-infra  → github.com/FrankenBit/alcatraz-infra.git      sync_on_commit=true
tmux-tell       → github.com/FrankenBit/tmux-tell.git           sync_on_commit=true

⚠️ Only the first is in the Codeberg ruling's scope. The two GitHub mirrors are a separate
question and are not proposed for removal here — recorded because three repos publish
externally via config nobody was tracking, and alcatraz-infra is the one whose issues quote
host paths and credential mechanics.

Scope

Delete the release-toolkit push-mirror row — DONE 2026-08-26 14:58 (DELETE …/push_mirrors/remote_mirror_9uxSvPh9kWl → 204; read back 0 rows). Shape captured in #804 before deletion so it is reconstructible without the credential. ⚠️ It was still firing — last_update 14:56:14, ~2 min before deletion, failing with 500 (not the predicted 404).
Rewrite the release-toolkit repo description — DONE 2026-08-26 14:58. The Public: codeberg.org/… clause is gone; verified codeberg no longer appears in description or website. Authorised by @bosun; a tracker AC is not authorisation to touch live config.
Decide whether the two GitHub push-mirrors are intended — DECIDED 2026-08-26: KEEP BOTH (operator, via @bosun). alcatraz-infra → github.com/FrankenBit/alcatraz-infra.git and tmux-tell → github.com/FrankenBit/tmux-tell.git stay, sync_on_commit=true. They were never in the Codeberg ruling's scope; only the Codeberg row was. ⚠️ "Record the answer somewhere" is answered HERE for now — a durable home in /srv docs travels with the deferred alcatraz-infra tracker, since three repos publish externally via config that no file sweep can see.

⚠️ Not blocking #793 or #803 — those are the file half and land independently.

📌 Scope item 3 is already answered for `alcatraz-infra` — it is documented and intended

/srv/CLAUDE.md records that mirror by name, in the reflex table's "Already on main?" row:

"In /srv (alcatraz-infra) origin is the GitHub push-MIRROR and forgejo is master (since 2026-06-16)"

So alcatraz-infra → github.com/FrankenBit/alcatraz-infra.git is not config nobody was tracking — it is documented, dated, and load-bearing enough that the same row warns about the failure it causes: on 2026-07-20 the mirror sat 11 commits behind, and a content-compare against origin/main reported three merged PRs as missing. The doc's remedy is to name the remote in the check.

⚠️ tmux-tell → github.com/FrankenBit/tmux-tell.git I have NOT checked and am not inferring from the sibling. Same shape, different repo, and the whole point of this tracker is that config surfaces do not generalise.

🔑 What this sharpens rather than softens

The org sweep is the right instrument and its finding survives: three repos publish externally via config that no file sweep sees. But the population splits:

release-toolkit  Codeberg   → in the ruling's scope, target 404s, delete
alcatraz-infra   GitHub     → DOCUMENTED and intended; the doc even names its failure mode
tmux-tell        GitHub     → unchecked, unknown

📌 "Nobody was tracking it" is true of two of three. For alcatraz-infra the tracking exists and lives in /srv/CLAUDE.md rather than in a tracker — which is its own finding: the record was in the place a chamber reads before acting, and not in the place a sweep looks. That is the inverse of this tracker's thesis and worth keeping beside it.

Nothing here changes the scope items. Item 3 needs a decision on tmux-tell and a pointer for alcatraz-infra, not a fresh investigation of both.

Row captured before deletion — reconstructible from this comment without the credential

@bosun's precondition. Recovery here is asymmetric: deleting takes seconds, restoring needs a Codeberg credential we intend to retire. A recorded shape plus a freshly-minted PAT is a five-minute rebuild; a remembered shape is guesswork.

repo_name        release-toolkit
remote_name      remote_mirror_9uxSvPh9kWl
remote_address   https://codeberg.org/FrankenBit/release-toolkit.git
branch_filter    main
interval         8h0m0s
sync_on_commit   true
created          2026-07-03T11:52:43+02:00
public_key       (empty — HTTPS, not SSH)

⚠️ No credential is recorded here and none was read. The row's readable keys are branch_filter, created, interval, last_error, last_update, public_key, remote_address, remote_name, repo_name, sync_on_commit — I enumerated the key names and redacted anything matching password|secret|token|auth|credential before printing values. The secret is not exposed by this endpoint and I did not go looking for it.

🔴 It is not merely configured — it fired two minutes ago and has been failing

last_update   2026-08-26T14:56:14+02:00     ← ~2 min before this comment
last_error    push failed: fatal: unable to access
              'https://codeberg.org/FrankenBit/release-toolkit.git/':
              The requested URL returned error: 500   (×3)

That is the whole finding made concrete. #793 retired 331 lines of workflow on 2026-08-21 and everyone read it as "Codeberg is retired" — while this row kept firing every eight hours for five days, failing every time, silently. (The target returns 500, not 404 — worth recording since the tracker body predicted 404. It fails either way; the code is not what makes it dead.)

🔑 Two notes for whoever retires a mirror next

① A FILE SWEEP CANNOT SEE A REPO-CONFIG PUBLICATION PATH. The thing that actually publishes was never in any file. #793's sweep went to zero and the retirement read as structurally complete — because the surface the instrument covered went to zero, not because the publishing stopped. That is a distinct class from a stale claim or a wrong instrument: a surface the instrument does not reach at all. When retiring a publication path, ask what publishes, not what is written down.

② sync_on_commit and last_update answer different questions. The first says the row is armed; the second says it fired. The tracker recorded the first five days ago; only the second proves it was still live today.

Deleting the row now. Holding CODEBERG_*_PAT per @bosun — row today, PAT not today, so the path stays recoverable while the decision is fresh.
