Defame1297 1a971ee003 fix(gitea): restore routing and sourcing content the retrofit dropped
gitea-issues asserted flatly that a merge never closes an issue, contradicting
gitea-prs' references/merging.md, which documents that closing keywords in
commits landing on the default branch do close one. The qualifier that made the
claim true had been deleted; both sides now agree.

gitea-releases had lost an epistemic hedge and its verification step, leaving
conventions.md asserting unconfirmed tag auto-creation as fact. Nothing in the
research corpus sources it, so the hedge and the verify-afterward instruction are
back rather than upgraded.

Descriptions were cut 50-240 chars under the 400 budget and shed routing with
them: gitea-workflow's boundary named no target, gitea-prs lost the issue/PR
number-space directive the suite is built around at 163/400, gitea-releases lost
its boundary and every trigger. Restored, inside budget. Also restores
delete_branch's hard-refusal strength and gitea-files' Read/Write/Edit pointer.

Use when reading or writing files or directories in a Gitea repository via the MCP server,
rather than the local filesystem (for a local path use Read/Write/Edit) — even when the user
does not say "Gitea". Not commit history -> `gitea-branches`. Not pull requests -> `gitea-prs`.
compatibility: Requires the Gitea MCP server configured with a token scoped to at least
write:repository. Tested with a token holding write:issue + write:repository; write:issue
is not actually required for any of this domain's five tools.

## Gotchas
- **A 404 may mean an under-scoped token, not a missing path.** Every tool here gates on `write:repository`, and Gitea masks insufficient scope as 404. Check scopes first.
- **Reads take `ref`, writes take `branch_name`.** One concept, two parameter names — chaining a read into a write drops the branch if you carry the wrong key.
- **`content` is base64 both ways.** Encode before a write, decode after a read.
## Inputs
`owner`, `repo` and the target branch are caller-supplied. This skill never infers them from a git remote: ask the human when they are not stated, and expect an orchestrating caller to have resolved them already.
## Dispatch
Read the reference for the row you land on before making the call.
| Condition | Flow | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Read one file, list one directory level, or walk the repository tree | Read | `references/reading.md` — the three read tools, their pagination behaviour, and why neither a directory listing nor a tree entry supplies the SHA a write needs |
| Create, update, or delete a file | Write | `references/writing.md` — the SHA-first sequence every update and delete depends on, the worked multi-call sequence, and how to triage a write that fails |
A request that reads and then writes runs both flows in that order: fetch the file first, then write with the SHA that call returned.
## Handoff
Scope ends at the commit. Gitea's own web UI edits files directly against a branch, so committing straight to a branch is the normal path rather than an escape hatch — hand off to `gitea-prs` when the change needs review before merging or the target branch is protected, not by default.
