Defame1297 be9b8d277f fix(gitea): restore the withLines exception and route rename_branch through the orchestrator
gitea-files' always-loaded Gotchas said "content is base64 both ways" without
qualification. The `main` text carried an exception for `withLines: true` and both
halves were dropped. Verified live: `get_file_contents` with `withLines: true`
returns plain JSON text while the same response still reports `"encoding":"base64"`.
An agent that follows the recommendation two sentences later and applies the
unconditional decode gets garbage, with the response's own field confirming the
wrong answer. Exception restored, and the lying field named.

gitea-orchestrate was never updated for `rename_branch`: absent from the operation
enum, so an agent caller got "unknown operation", and absent from the
destructive-confirm list, though branches.md requires a rename with open PRs or a
protection rule to be confirmed exactly as `delete_branch` is. Added to both — the
confirm gate rather than the enum alone, because accepting the operation without it
routes around a rule the skill states while appearing to support it. The
compatibility frontmatter, which the agent reads, still omitted the tool too.

Two more always-loaded Gotchas contradicted their own reference files, and the
Gotcha was wrong both times: issues and PRs are distinguishable on a list item by
the `html_url` path segment (confirmed live — #129 at /pulls/, #128 at /issues/),
and `get_repository_tree` takes `tree_sha`, not `ref`.

`review_comments` was asserted as unconditionally present on the PR get response.
It is absent on a PR with no review comments, so the claim is downgraded to
present-when-non-zero rather than stated as response shape.

The label-exclusivity relocation moved the rule out of label-inference.md and into
labels.md without updating sources.md, leaving the one rule in this branch that
writes differently to live repos citing a file that no longer carries it. The rule
itself is correct as it stands and `main` was wrong — every Kind/* label on this
instance is exclusive:false, every Priority/* and Status/* is true — so only the
provenance record is corrected.

Routing: gitea-workflow lost the human-caller discriminator and widened from status
checks to any request, which sent "close #42" to a branch that resolves the number
and presents detail without ever closing it. gitea-branches and gitea-issues regain
trigger phrasings the retrofit dropped.

gitea-labels-milestones

Read and write Gitea labels and milestones, and resolve label/milestone identity for the skills that apply them to issues and PRs.

What it does

This skill handles label and milestone CRUD (label_read/label_write, milestone_read/milestone_write) — listing repo or org labels, creating/editing/deleting a label, resolving a label name to the numeric ID required to apply it to an issue or PR, and listing/creating/updating/closing/deleting a milestone. It also owns label inference: mapping conversation context (bug report, feature request, urgency language) to this repo's Kind/*/Priority/*/Status/* taxonomy.

Composition

This is a cross-cutting shared skill. gitea-issues and gitea-prs both compose it whenever they need to apply a label or assign a milestone, rather than duplicating label/milestone logic: they call in for name/title → ID resolution, then their own issue_write/pull_request_write calls apply the resolved IDs. The split is deliberate — identity resolution lives here once, and the write that attaches an ID to a specific issue or PR lives with the skill that owns that object.

That relationship is documented here rather than in the skill description, which is preloaded into every session and carries routing information only: an agent reaches this skill because the user asked about labels or milestones, not because two other skills call it.

Usage

/gitea-labels-milestones

Describe the label or milestone task: list labels, resolve a name to an ID, create/edit/delete a label, or list/create/update/close/delete a milestone. For applying already-resolved labels or a milestone to a specific issue or PR, use gitea-issues or gitea-prs instead.
