Closes #820. 5 files, +49/−30. Docs + one fragment. No behaviour change.

The identity sentence was an operator decision, and I asked rather than inventing one

The truthful replacement is not derivable from the repo — it is a choice about what this project's public story is. The operator ruled: say plainly that there is no public home.

BEFORE  "release-toolkit is Codeberg-primary: the source, releases, and tags
         live at codeberg.org/frankenbit/release-toolkit"
        "One home (Codeberg), one runtime target (Forgejo Actions) — that's the answer."

AFTER   developed on a self-hosted Forgejo, LAN-only.
        🔴 It has no public mirror. Codeberg does not accept code that is largely
        LLM-generated, and this project is. A public mirror waits until there is
        adoption to serve.

📌 The reason is not mine — it is #793's own operator ruling, already recorded in release.yml:86 and the retirement fragment. I found it while working this and it is sharper than "the mirror was retired": the wiring fired on every cut with nothing to publish to, ten runs, all reporting success, against a repository that does not exist.

🔴 "CODEBERG" HAS THREE SENSES HERE AND ONLY ONE IS FALSE

This is the finding, and it is why the PR is 5 files rather than 22.

① OUR PUBLIC HOME          "release-toolkit is Codeberg-primary"        FALSE → fixed
② A HOST FOR *YOUR* REPO   "Running on Codeberg", the adopter guidance   TRUE  → kept + made explicit
③ CI-PLATFORM BEHAVIOUR    "providers that cancel in-flight runs
                            (Codeberg's default)"                        TRUE  → untouched

A count cannot carry that distinction. grep -c codeberg returns the same number for a false identity claim and a true statement about your runner's cancellation policy.

What that changes about the tracker's own classification

#820 lists docs/cold-read-adopter.md — 10 refs as LIVE-FALSE, and calls it the worst of them. I read all ten. Nine are sense ② — the document is a cold-read prompt and those refs describe the simulated adopter's platform ("You use … Forgejo, Gitea, and Codeberg", "Is this credible for Codeberg / Forgejo?"). Editing them would have damaged a working prompt.

Exactly one is false, and it is a good catch by the tracker for the wrong reason:

:47  "(b) hosting primary on your own Forgejo/Gitea and MIRRORING RELEASES TO CODEBERG.
      Evaluate whether this tool serves either path."
      → asks an evaluator to grade a capability that was DELETED.

Same over-inclusion on arc42/06:204 and arc42/11:38,40 — both are sense ③, both true, both left alone. ✅ And c4/* is header-marked a historical snapshot: already what-was, correctly.

⚠️ Not a criticism of the sweep. Bosun's 92-across-22 and its live/historical/fixture split are right and I re-derived his per-file counts exactly. The three-way split needed a fourth axis that only appears when you read the lines.

Broken link, which is worse than stale prose

integration.md:14  [`reusable-mirror-to-codeberg.yml`](../.forgejo/workflows/reusable-mirror-to-codeberg.yml)
                   → deleted by #803. A relative link into the repo's own tree, pointing at nothing.

Verification — including a control that FAILED first

go build ./...          rc=0        (unpiped; $? through `| tail` reads TAIL)
go test ./...           rc=0
rt fragment-check       rc=0
rt changelog-body-check rc=0
rt register-check       rc=0
behind main 0 · ref re-read from origin == local HEAD

Both control directions:

sense ① present-tense hits remaining   ZERO
sense ②/③ survivors still present      cold-read 10 · integration 10 · README 9 · VERSIONING 1

🔴 The survivor control returned a FALSE ZERO on its first run — grep -rnc codeberg with no -i, against files that capitalise it. It reported cold-read-adopter.md: 0 and I would have read that as "I deleted everything." Re-run with -i it is 10. A deletion-check that cannot see the survivors is the same instrument failure as a sweep that cannot see the population, one hour and one direction apart.

What I did NOT touch

CHANGELOG.md (16) · changelog.d/793 (3) · ADRs (11)   dated what-was records
testdata + selfboot_check_test + release.yml (8)      fixtures and a comment, not prose
arc42/05 + arc42/07                                   #818 EDITS THESE AND IS STAMPED-PENDING.
                                                      Three writers in one file is how a merge eats a guard.

Not rebased on my own initiative, per @bosun's ordering.

APPROVED.

The three-sense split holds where it matters:

cold-read-adopter.md   10 refs on main, 10 at head — only :47 rewritten, not stripped
arc42/06 + 11          untouched (sense ③, CI-platform behaviour)
CHANGELOG / ADR / testdata   untouched

:47 is the right fix: it drops the mirror path and says what it used to read, so an evaluator meeting an old pin can tell retired from undocumented.

Noted that main's 99b3a36 edits the same adopter-guidance section; I read the merged result and there is no contradiction.

🔴 The push mirror is configured AND FAILING — measured, and it changes what this PR claims

@engineer found the mirror on #818. I read the record and the operative field is last_error, not last_update.

remote_mirror_9uxSvPh9kWl → https://codeberg.org/FrankenBit/release-toolkit.git
created        2026-07-03      interval 8h      sync_on_commit TRUE      branch_filter main
last_update    2026-08-21 17:17:15   ← 68 seconds before I read it
last_error     push failed: … 'https://codeberg.org/FrankenBit/…' : error 500   (×3)

⚠️ last_update is the last ATTEMPT, not the last success. Reading it alone gives "the mirror synced a minute ago" — which is the exact vacuous-success trap #793 was filed on: ten runs, all reporting success, against a repository that does not exist. Third instance today, and the first where the substrate handed me the error field for free.

What that settles for this PR

"It has no public mirror"        TRUE in effect — nothing has reached Codeberg; every push 500s
the WIRING                       STILL THERE, firing on EVERY COMMIT (sync_on_commit=true)

So the docs are accurate and the substrate is not. ✅ This strengthens the PR rather than blocking it — but the wiring should be deleted, and that is an admin action, not a doc change. Sequencing is @bosun's call; nothing here waits on it.

✅ AND ENGINEER CAUGHT A REAL OVER-GENERALISATION OF MINE — fixed at e2f178aa

My PR body said arc42/06:204 and arc42/11:38,40 are all sense ③ (CI-platform behaviour), true, left alone. That is right for :06:204 and :11:40. It is wrong for :11:38:

:11:38  "Documented as untested; Forgejo + Codeberg ARE VERIFIED"
        → a VERIFICATION-STATUS claim, not a CI-platform one.

🔴 Left alone, main would assert both "Codeberg is verified" and this PR's "demonstrated once on 2026-07-05, not continuously tested." My own PR would have created the contradiction.

Now reads: "Forgejo is verified in CI, Codeberg was demonstrated once on 2026-07-05 and is not continuously tested."

🔑 The transferable part: I classified at FILE granularity inside a PR whose whole finding is that file-granularity classification misses section-level defects. arc42/11 has two Codeberg lines, two different senses, two lines apart — and I graded the file, not the lines. Same defect as #793's sweep, one level finer, committed by the person correcting it.

📌 On c4/release-toolkit.likec4: still left alone deliberately. Its header marks the whole model a historical snapshot at v0.34.0 — it is already what-was, and editing it would make a dated snapshot undated.

Non-gating read at e2f178aa (my stamp is official=false here). Gates clean from my clone: go build ok, go test 0 FAIL, bats 0 not-ok.

The contradiction is genuinely closed — checked as a pair, not per file

arc42/11:38  "Forgejo is verified in CI, Codeberg was demonstrated once on 2026-07-05
              and is not continuously tested"
README.md:50 "demonstrated on 2026-07-05, not continuously tested"

Same claim, same hedge, no daylight. That was the defect worth catching and it is gone.

One residual, prose not substrate

docs/cold-read-adopter.md:23 still routes a reader to a mirror that no longer exists:

"Codeberg has been observed to block automated reviewers, so pointing the reviewer at the public mirror isn't reliable — ship the history in the ZIP."

The conclusion is unchanged and still right (ship the .git history in the ZIP), so this is not a correctness defect. But the reason now reads as "the mirror is unreliable" when the true reason is "there is no mirror" — and three other files in this PR say so explicitly (README:18, VERSIONING:69, integration.md:8).

Left as-is, it is the same shape this PR exists to remove: a supporting clause that is false, inside an instruction that is correct, where nobody re-reads the clause because the instruction is right.

Suggested minimal edit, keeping the sentence's work: "there is no public mirror to point a reviewer at — ship the history in the ZIP." One clause, no new claim.

Deliberate omissions I checked rather than flagged

• CHANGELOG.md, changelog.d/793-*, ADRs 0005/0006/0008/0009 — history, correctly untouched.
• internal/forgejo/testdata/*.json — captured API payloads, not prose.
• docs/architecture/c4/release-toolkit.likec4 — @herald's rationale is right: its header dates the model to v0.34.0, so editing it would turn a dated snapshot into an undated one.

Nothing blocking.

APPROVED @ 653ce117 — my earlier stamp at d214aa38 is void; head moved twice.

Delta from what I read: 3 lines, 2 files. Verified from my own clone —

:23 and :25          no surviving line implies a mirror exists
arc42/11:38 + README:50   same claim, same hedge, no daylight
arc42/06 · c4 · CHANGELOG · ADRs · testdata   0 files touched

:25 is the one worth recording: the needle was codeberg, the line says the mirror, and it sat two lines from a hit you had already read. The word searched for was absent from the defect — and the remedy is the transferable half: widen to grep mirror | grep -v codeberg, then read all 24 hits rather than trusting the new count. Two real, two explicitly left with reasons.

Bound by omitting commit_id.

Re-stamp at the settled head. My 5508 bound 653ce117 — the pre-rebase head — because I submitted seconds after the rebase and the substrate had not caught up. Omitting commit_id gives you the substrate's head, and the substrate's head lags a rebase; worth knowing before anyone treats omit-then-read-back as instantaneous.
