Defame1297 8680adf4c0 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.

# Commit operations
Read-only commit history, scoped to a repo (optionally to one branch or one path). Call signatures
below were verified live against the deployed `gitea-mcp` server via `ToolSearch`, not copied from
research docs, for the same drift-avoidance reason noted in `references/branches.md`. **Last verified
against gitea-mcp v1.7.0**, as reported by `get_gitea_mcp_server_version`.
This domain has no prior skill precedent — it's new coverage added alongside branches because commit
history is naturally scoped to a branch (a "what happened on this branch" question), not because it
shares any tool family with branch create/delete.
## `list_commits`
**Parameters:**
- `owner` (string, required)
- `repo` (string, required)
- `sha` (string, optional) — starting SHA or branch name; if omitted, gitea-mcp uses the repo's
default branch
- `path` (string, optional) — restrict results to commits that touched this file/path
- `page` (number, optional, default: `1`, minimum: `1`)
- `per_page` (number, optional, default: `30`, minimum: `1`)
**Call:**
```text
list_commits owner: <owner> repo: <repo> sha: <branch-or-sha> path: <optional-path>
```
Dispatch defaults:
- "commits on `<branch>`" → pass `<branch>` as `sha`.
- "commits touching `<path>`" (no branch mentioned) → pass `path` alone, `sha` omitted (defaults to
the repo's default branch).
- Both given → pass both; the result is history for that path, walked from that branch/SHA.
- Neither given → omit both; this returns default-branch history, which is a reasonable default for
an open-ended "what's the recent history here" question.
**Response:** one object per commit: `sha`, `html_url`, `created`, `message` (when available),
`author` (`{name, email, date}`, when available).
Paginate per the pagination Gotcha in SKILL.md if you need more than one page of history.
## `get_commit`
**Parameters:**
- `owner` (string, required)
- `repo` (string, required)
- `sha` (string, required)
**Call:**
```text
get_commit owner: <owner> repo: <repo> sha: <commit-sha>
```
**Response:** same shape as a `list_commits` entry, but always fully populated (`message` and
`author` are guaranteed present, not conditional). Use this when the user asks about one specific
commit by SHA rather than browsing history — `list_commits` entries may omit `message`/`author` in
edge cases, `get_commit` will not.
## Token scope
Both tools are believed to require `write:repository`, even though they're read-only — inferred by
analogy with the scope-gating principle confirmed for branch operations in `branches.md`'s Token
scope section (Gitea gates reads behind write scope for repo-scoped operations), not a claim any
doc in this skill makes for commits by name: nothing here enumerates commits under
`write:repository` explicitly. An earlier version of this doc claimed `write:issue` alone worked, based on
empirical testing under a token that held both `write:issue` and `write:repository`
simultaneously — that test didn't isolate the variable either. Treat this as unverified until
tested under a token scoped to `write:issue` only (no `write:repository`).
