fix(gitea): make gitea-releases executable and correct misleading domain claims

gitea-releases was the weakest skill in the plugin: no allowed-tools, no
owner/repo resolution, and a checkbox list where a dispatch table belongs, so
an agent reaching it had to guess both its permissions and its inputs. The
id-vs-tag_name trap — deleting by tag name where the API wants the numeric id —
is restored as an explicit Gotcha because it destroys the wrong release
silently.

Elsewhere the `exclusive` flag was documented on the wrong side of the
read/write split, and label data from one instance was presented as though it
were universal, which invites an agent to assume a taxonomy that does not
exist on the target repo. rename_branch was missing from the branch surface.
Reference prose and fences are cleaned up in passing.

This skill handles release and tag operations for a Gitea repository. It creates releases from a tag/target commitish with title, notes, and draft/prerelease flags; lists and paginates releases and tags; retrieves the latest release; and deletes releases and tags as separate, independent destructive operations. It resolves the numeric release id required for deletion instead of assuming a tag name will work.
## Before you start
Requires a Gitea MCP server configured with a token holding `write:repository`. Requires a git remote
named `origin` pointing at the Gitea instance, unless an orchestrating caller already resolved
`owner`/`repo` for you.

## Gotchas
- **Deleting a release never deletes its tag.** A release is a metadata wrapper around a tag, so removing both takes two independent destructive calls. The reverse — whether deleting a tag deletes its release — is *unconfirmed*; verify with `list_releases`/`get_release` after `delete_tag` rather than assume it survives.
- **Set `is_draft`/`is_pre_release` explicitly on every `create_release` — Gitea never infers a prerelease from a `-beta`/`-rc` tag name.** A tag named `v2.0.0-beta.1` publishes as a full release, and becomes the repo's latest, unless `is_pre_release: true` is passed in the same call. The response object names them `draft`/`prerelease`; passing `draft` as an input key is silently ignored, not rejected.
- **`list_releases`/`list_tags` default `per_page` to 20**, where most other gitea-mcp list tools default to 30 — a caller assuming 30 under-counts the pages a full sweep needs.
- **`delete_release` takes the numeric `id`, never a `tag_name`; `delete_tag` takes the tag name, never an id.** Holding only a tag name, resolve the release id through `list_releases` or `get_release` first — a tag name passed to `delete_release` fails, and that failure is not evidence the release is already gone.
- **Deleting a release never deletes its tag**, and the reverse direction is *unconfirmed* — verify with `list_releases`/`get_release` after `delete_tag`. Removing both takes two independent destructive calls.
- **Set `is_draft`/`is_pre_release` explicitly on every `create_release`** — Gitea infers neither from a `-beta`/`-rc` tag name, so `v2.0.0-beta.1` publishes as a full release and becomes the repo's latest. `draft`/`prerelease` are output field names only; passing `draft` as an input key is silently ignored.
- **`list_releases`/`list_tags` default `per_page` to 20**, where most other gitea-mcp list tools default to 30 — a caller assuming 30 under-counts pages.
## Dispatch table
## Step 1 — Resolve owner and repo
`owner` and `repo` are required on every tool below. Extract them from the git remote, unless an orchestrating caller passed them in already:
```bash
git remote get-url origin
```
If origin is not set or the URL is not a Gitea URL, stop and report: "No Gitea remote found — set origin to your Gitea instance URL."

## Workflow
## Step 3 — Procedure for the scenario in hand
- [ ] **Creating a release:** Call `create_release` with `tag_name`, `target`, `title`, and `is_draft`/`is_pre_release` set explicitly — never left to default. **There is no update or edit tool on this surface**: `create_release`, `get_release`, `get_latest_release`, `list_releases` and `delete_release` are the whole set. A release published with the wrong flag therefore has no non-destructive repair — the only fix is `delete_release` plus a fresh `create_release`. Gitea is assumed to create the tag from `target` when `tag_name` does not yet exist — plausible from the API shape, not confirmed in the research docs — so a separate `create_tag` is only needed to tag a commit without wrapping it in a release. Verify with `get_tag` afterward if the caller depends on it.
- [ ] **Deleting a release:** `delete_release` takes the numeric `id` and never a `tag_name`; `delete_tag` is the mirror opposite and never takes an id. With only a tag name in hand, resolve the id through `list_releases` (paginating if needed) or `get_release` first.
- [ ] **Deleting a tag along with its release:** Delete the release first, then call `delete_tag` — confirm both are intended before proceeding, since each is irreversible on its own.
- [ ] **Listing every page:** Loop `page: 1, 2, 3...` until a response returns fewer than `per_page` entries. Nothing here auto-paginates.
These four are mutually exclusive — pick the one row the request lands on.
| Scenario | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Create a release | Call `create_release` with `tag_name`, `target`, `title`, and `is_draft`/`is_pre_release` set explicitly — never left to default. This surface carries no update or edit tool, so a wrong flag is repairable only by delete-and-recreate (`references/conventions.md`). A separate `create_tag` is only needed to tag a commit without wrapping it in a release. |
| Delete a release | Resolve the numeric `id` per the first Gotcha, confirm intent, then call `delete_release`. The tag survives. |
| Delete a tag along with its release | Delete the release first, then call `delete_tag` — confirm both are intended before proceeding, since each is irreversible on its own. |
| List every page | Loop `page: 1, 2, 3...` until a response returns fewer than `per_page` entries. Nothing here auto-paginates. |
If exact input params or response field shapes are needed, read `references/call-signatures.md`. If the caller raises semver tag naming, draft/prerelease semantics, release-notes sourcing, or how a release relates to its tag, read `references/conventions.md`.
