The retrofit left only a descriptive sentence on the loaded path — "Gitea
never infers a prerelease from a -beta/-rc tag name" — and moved the
imperative into references/conventions.md behind a trigger listing semver
naming, release-notes sourcing and release-to-tag relationships. Draft and
prerelease are not in that list, and "cut a v2.0.0-beta.1" is exactly the
request where the caller does not raise the topic, so the rule was
unreachable from the flow that needs it.
Severity comes from the repair path: the MCP surface has create, get,
get_latest, list and delete only — there is no update or edit tool. A
release published without is_pre_release can only be corrected by
delete_release plus a fresh create, and get_latest_release points
consumers at the beta meanwhile. Neither SKILL.md nor call-signatures.md
said so anywhere.
The flags are now set explicitly on every create, the missing update tool
and its delete-and-recreate consequence are stated in the body, and the
semver pass-through rule stranded behind the same trigger is promoted
alongside it. call-signatures.md now cites the deployed tool description
as direct evidence that get_latest_release excludes drafts, while keeping
the prerelease half hedged — that remains unconfirmed.
Verified live against gitea-mcp v1.7.0, read-only calls.
