- Introduce a “Bypass Protection Allowlist” on branch rules
(users/teams) alongside admins, with BlockAdminMergeOverride
still respected.
- Surface the allowlist in API (create/edit options, structs) and
settings UI; merge box now shows the red button +
message for bypass-capable users.
- Apply bypass logic to merge checks and pre-receive so allowlisted
users can override unmet approvals/status checks/
protected files when force-merging.
- Add migration for new columns, locale strings, and unit tests (bypass
helper; queue test tweak).

Use shared repo permission resolution for Actions task users in issue
label remove and clear paths, and add a regression test for deleting
issue labels with a Gitea Actions token.
This fixes issue label deletion when the request is authenticated with a
Gitea Actions token.
Fixes#37011
The bug was that the delete path re-resolved repository permissions
using the normal user permission helper, which does not handle Actions
task users. As a result, `DELETE
/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{index}/labels/{id}` could return
`500` for Actions tokens even though label listing and label addition
worked.

## Overview
This PR introduces granular permission controls for Gitea Actions tokens
(`GITEA_TOKEN`), aligning Gitea's security model with GitHub Actions
standards while maintaining compatibility with Gitea's unique repository
unit system.
It addresses the need for finer access control by allowing
administrators and repository owners to define default token
permissions, set maximum permission ceilings, and control
cross-repository access within organizations.
## Key Features
### 1. Granular Token Permissions
- **Standard Keyword Support**: Implements support for the
`permissions:` keyword in workflow and job YAML files (e.g., `contents:
read`, `issues: write`).
- **Permission Modes**:
- **Permissive**: Default write access for most units (backwards
compatible).
- **Restricted**: Default read-only access for `contents` and
`packages`, with no access to other units.
- ~~**Custom**: Allows defining specific default levels for each unit
type (Code, Issues, PRs, Packages, etc.).~~**EDIT removed UI was
confusing**
- **Clamping Logic**: Workflow-defined permissions are automatically
"clamped" by repository or organization-level maximum settings.
Workflows cannot escalate their own permissions beyond these limits.
### 2. Organization & Repository Settings
- **Settings UI**: Added new settings pages at both Organization and
Repository levels to manage Actions token defaults and maximums.
- **Inheritance**: Repositories can be configured to "Follow
organization-level configuration," simplifying management across large
organizations.
- **Cross-Repository Access**: Added a policy to control whether Actions
workflows can access other repositories or packages within the same
organization. This can be set to "None," "All," or restricted to a
"Selected" list of repositories.
### 3. Security Hardening
- **Fork Pull Request Protection**: Tokens for workflows triggered by
pull requests from forks are strictly enforced as read-only, regardless
of repository settings.
- ~~**Package Access**: Actions tokens can now only access packages
explicitly linked to a repository, with cross-repo access governed by
the organization's security policy.~~ **EDIT removed
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/36173#issuecomment-3873675346**
- **Git Hook Integration**: Propagates Actions Task IDs to git hooks to
ensure that pushes performed by Actions tokens respect the specific
permissions granted at runtime.
### 4. Technical Implementation
- **Permission Persistence**: Parsed permissions are calculated at job
creation and stored in the `action_run_job` table. This ensures the
token's authority is deterministic throughout the job's lifecycle.
- **Parsing Priority**: Implemented a priority system in the YAML parser
where the broad `contents` scope is applied first, allowing granular
scopes like `code` or `releases` to override it for precise control.
- **Re-runs**: Permissions are re-evaluated during a job re-run to
incorporate any changes made to repository settings in the interim.
### How to Test
1. **Unit Tests**: Run `go test ./services/actions/...` and `go test
./models/repo/...` to verify parsing logic and permission clamping.
2. **Integration Tests**: Comprehensive tests have been added to
`tests/integration/actions_job_token_test.go` covering:
- Permissive vs. Restricted mode behavior.
- YAML `permissions:` keyword evaluation.
- Organization cross-repo access policies.
- Resource access (Git, API, and Packages) under various permission
configs.
3. **Manual Verification**:
- Navigate to **Site/Org/Repo Settings -> Actions -> General**.
- Change "Default Token Permissions" and verify that newly triggered
workflows reflect these changes in their `GITEA_TOKEN` capabilities.
- Attempt a cross-repo API call from an Action and verify the Org policy
is enforced.

Principles: let the caller decide what it needs, but not let the
framework (middleware) guess what it should do.
Then a lot of hacky code can be removed. And some FIXMEs can be fixed.
This PR introduces a new kind of middleware: "PreMiddleware", it will be
executed before all other middlewares on the same routing level, then a
route can declare its options for other middlewares.
By the way, allow the workflow badge to be accessed by Basic or OAuth2
auth.

In Git 2.38, the `merge-tree` command introduced the `--write-tree`
option, which works directly on bare repositories. In Git 2.40, a new parameter `--merge-base` introduced so we require Git 2.40 to use the merge tree feature.
This option produces the merged tree object ID, allowing us to perform
diffs between commits without creating a temporary repository. By
avoiding the overhead of setting up and tearing down temporary repos,
this approach delivers a notable performance improvement.
It also fixes a possible situation that conflict files might be empty
but it's a conflict status according to

Most potential deadlock problems should have been fixed, and new code is
unlikely to cause new problems with the new design.
Also raise the minimum Git version required to 2.6.0 (released in 2015)
Refactor Git command functions to use WithXXX methods instead of
exposing RunOpts.
This change simplifies reuse across gitrepo and improves consistency,
encapsulation, and maintainability of command options.

fixes#30565
When using git with a gitea hosted repository, the HTTP-Transport did
honor the user and repository redirects, which are created when renaming
a user or repo and also when transferring ownership of a repo to a
different organization. This is extremely helpful, as repo URLs remain
stable and do not have to be migrated on each client's worktree and
other places, e.g. CI at once.
The SSH transport - which I favor - did not know of these redirections
and I implemented a lookup during the `serv` command.
Upgrade to

does less checks than before. Additionally, add `make fix` which runs
modernize. This is also verified on CI.

`[repository.pull-request] DELAY_CHECK_FOR_INACTIVE_DAYS` is a new
setting to delay the mergeable check for pull requests that have been
inactive for the specified number of days.
This avoids potentially long delays for big repositories with many pull
requests. and reduces system load overall when there are many
repositories or pull requests.
When viewing the PR, checking will start immediately and the PR merge
box will automatically reload when complete. Accessing the PR through
the API will also start checking immediately.
The default value of `7` provides a balance between system load, and
keeping behavior similar to what it was before both for users and API
access. With `0` all conflict checking will be delayed, while `-1`
always checks immediately to restore the previous behavior.

Resolve#32341
~Depends on #27151~
- [x] It will display a checkbox of deleting the head branch on the pull
request view page when starting an auto-merge task.
- [x] Add permission check before deleting the branch
- [x] Add delete branch comment for those closing pull requests because
of head branch or base branch was deleted.
- [x] Merge `RetargetChildrenOnMerge` and `AddDeletePRBranchComment`
into `service.DeleteBranch`.
Follow #33045. There are two updates on `Set Merged`, which should be in
one transaction.
This also introduced some refactors for changeissuestatus to make it
more clear.
In history (from some legacy frameworks), both `:name` and `name` are
supported as path path name, `:name` is an alias to `name`.
To make code consistent, now we should only use `name` but not `:name`.
Also added panic check in related functions to make sure the name won't
be abused in case some downstreams still use them.
Introduce RequestContext: is a short-lived context that is used to store
request-specific data.
RequestContext could be used to clean form tmp files, close context git
repo, and do some tracing in the future.
Then a lot of legacy code could be removed or improved. For example:
most `ctx.Repo.GitRepo.Close()` could be removed because the git repo
could be closed when the request is done.
Move all mail sender related codes into a sub package of
services/mailer. Just move, no code change.
Then we just have dependencies on go-mail package in the new sub
package. We can use other package to replace it because it's
unmaintainable. ref #18664
