Support `continue-on-error` for workflow jobs when aggregating an
Actions workflow run status.
Previously, `continue-on-error` was parsed from workflow YAML but was
not persisted or used when calculating the overall run result. As a
result, a failed job could incorrectly fail the entire workflow even
when the workflow explicitly allowed that job to fail.
This PR stores the parsed `continue-on-error` value on each action run
job and treats failed jobs with `continue-on-error: true` as successful
when computing the workflow run status, matching GitHub Actions
behavior.
## Changes
- Add `ContinueOnError` to `jobparser.Job`.
- Add `continue_on_error` to `ActionRunJob` with a `NOT NULL DEFAULT
FALSE` migration.
- Populate `ActionRunJob.ContinueOnError` when creating workflow run
jobs.
- Update workflow status aggregation so failed `continue-on-error` jobs
do not fail the overall run.
- Leave `resolveCheckNeeds` unchanged so dependent jobs still see the
job result as `failure` and are skipped by default.
## Compatibility
This is backward compatible.
If only the runner or only the server is updated, `continue-on-error`
continues to degrade to the previous behavior and is effectively ignored
until both sides support it.

## Summary
This PR improves reusable workflow support for Gitea Actions. The
parsing of the called workflow now happens on Gitea side, not on the
runner. When the caller becomes ready, Gitea fetches the called workflow
source, parses it, and inserts each child job into the database as a
`ActionRunJob` linked to the caller via `ParentCallJobID`. As a result,
every callee job is dispatched as its own task and its logs surface as
an independent job entry in the UI, rather than being inlined into the
caller's "Set up job" step.
This PR supports two kinds of `uses` :
- same-repo call: `uses: ./.gitea/workflows/foo.yaml`
- cross-repo call: `uses: OWNER/REPO/.gitea/workflows/foo.yaml@REF`
## **⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️**
External reusable workflows (`uses:
https://other-gitea-instance/OWNER/REPO/.gitea/workflows/test.yaml@REF`)
are no longer supported. To keep using them, clone the repositories to
the local instance.
## Main changes
### Execution model
- Each caller job carries `IsReusableCaller=true` and won't be fetched
by runners.
- `ParentCallJobID` can link a called job to its caller.
- Caller status is derived from its direct children.
### Workflow syntax
- `jobparser` now supports parsing `on: workflow_call` trigger with
`inputs:`, `outputs:`, and `secrets:` declarations.
- **Max nesting depth**: capped at `MaxReusableCallLevels = 9`, which
means a top-level caller may have at most 9 nested callers below it.
- **Cycle prevention**: at expansion time, `checkCallerChain` walks the
caller's ancestor chain via `ParentCallJobID` and rejects if the same
`uses:` string appears anywhere upstream (`reusable workflow call cycle
detected`). This catches both direct (`A -> A`) and indirect (`A -> B ->
A`) cycles.
### Cross-repo access
- To share reusable workflows from private repos, use `Collaborative
Owners` introduced by #32562
### Rerun semantics
- `expandRerunJobIDs` partitions the latest attempt's jobs into:
- a **rerun set**: jobs being rerun + downstream siblings within the
same scope.
- an **ancestor set**: reusable callers whose only *some* descendants
are being rerun (the caller itself is not).
- Cloning behavior for callers in `execRerunPlan`:
- **Caller is fully rerun** (caller's `AttemptJobID` in `rerunSet`):
none of its descendants are cloned. The caller is cloned with
`IsCallerExpanded=false`, and re-expansion (which reinserts the children
fresh) happens later when the resolver brings the caller to `Waiting`
again.
- **Caller is in ancestor set** (only some descendants rerun): the
caller is pass-through (`Status` will be updated by its fresh children).
Its non-rerun descendants are also pass-through clones (point
`SourceTaskID` at the original task). Their `ParentCallJobID` is
remapped to the new attempt's caller row.
### UI
- Job list in `RepoActionView.vue` is now tree-shaped: callers indent
their children. Callers default to collapsed.
- New caller detail page using `WorkflowGraph` to show direct children
only; the run summary's `WorkflowGraph` shows top-level callers and
their immediate descendants.
### Known trade-offs
- **Caller expansion runs inside the enclosing write transaction.**
`expandReusableWorkflowCaller` performs a git read of the called
workflow while holding the row locks that update the caller and insert
its children. This is intentional: the caller-row update and child-row
inserts must commit atomically. None of the call sites is hot (each
caller is expanded once per attempt), so the trade-off is acceptable.
- **A malformed `if:` expression on a job leaves it `Blocked`
silently.** `evaluateJobIf` now runs server-side as part of resolver
passes; deterministic expression errors (typos, undefined context
fields) are logged but do not surface in the UI. This is the same
behavior the resolver already had for concurrency-expression errors.
Distinguishing transient DB errors from user-authored expression errors
and writing the latter back as `StatusFailure` is a follow-up.

This PR introduces a new `ActionRunAttempt` model and makes Actions
execution attempt-scoped.
**Main Changes**
- Each workflow run trigger generates a new `ActionRunAttempt`. The
triggered jobs are then associated with this new `ActionRunAttempt`
record.
- Each rerun now creates:
- a new `ActionRunAttempt` record for the workflow run
- a full new set of `ActionRunJob` records for the new
`ActionRunAttempt`
- For jobs that need to be rerun, the new job records are created as
runnable jobs in the new attempt.
- For jobs that do not need to be rerun, new job records are still
created in the new attempt, but they reuse the result of the previous
attempt instead of executing again.
- Introduce `rerunPlan` to manage each rerun and refactored rerun flow
into a two-phase plan-based model:
- `buildRerunPlan`
- `execRerunPlan`
- `RerunFailedWorkflowRun` and `RerunFailed` no longer directly derives
all jobs that need to be rerun; this step is now handled by
`buildRerunPlan`.
- Converted artifacts from run-scoped to attempt-scoped:
- uploads are now associated with `RunAttemptID`
- listing, download, and deletion resolve against the current attempt
- Added attempt-aware web Actions views:
- the default run page shows the latest attempt
(`/actions/runs/{run_id}`)
- previous attempt pages show jobs and artifacts for that attempt
(`/actions/runs/{run_id}/attempts/{attempt_num}`)
- New APIs:
- `/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run}/attempts/{attempt}`
- `/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run}/attempts/{attempt}/jobs`
- New configuration `MAX_RERUN_ATTEMPTS`
- https://gitea.com/gitea/docs/pulls/383
**Compatibility**
- Existing legacy runs use `LatestAttemptID = 0` and legacy jobs use
`RunAttemptID = 0`. Therefore, these fields can be used to identify
legacy runs and jobs and provide backward compatibility.
- If a legacy run is rerun, an `ActionRunAttempt` with `attempt=1` will
be created to represent the original execution. Then a new
`ActionRunAttempt` with `attempt=2` will be created for the real rerun.
- Existing artifact records are not backfilled; legacy artifacts
continue to use `RunAttemptID = 0`.
**Improvements**
- It is now easier to inspect and download logs from previous attempts.
-
[`run_attempt`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/contexts#github-context)
semantics are now aligned with GitHub.
- > A unique number for each attempt of a particular workflow run in a
repository. This number begins at 1 for the workflow run's first
attempt, and increments with each re-run.
- Rerun behavior is now clearer and more explicit.
- Instead of mutating the status of previous jobs in place, each rerun
creates a new attempt with a full new set of job records.
- Artifacts produced by different reruns can now be listed separately.

## Problem
Workflow-level concurrency groups were evaluated — and jobs were parsed
— before the run was persisted, so `run.ID` was `0` and `github.run_id`
in the expression context resolved to an empty string. Expressions like:
```yaml
concurrency:
group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.run_id }}
cancel-in-progress: true
```
collapsed to `<workflow>-` on every push event (`head_ref` is empty on
push), so `cancel-in-progress` cancelled in-progress runs across
**unrelated branches**, not just the current one.
Reproduced on a 1.26 instance:
- push to `master` → `ci` run starts
- push to `feature-branch` → the `master` run gets cancelled
GitHub Actions' documented semantic: on push events `github.run_id` is
unique per run, so the group is unique → no cancellation; on PR events
`github.head_ref` is the source branch → cancellation is per-PR.
## Fix
Insert the run **before** parsing jobs or evaluating workflow-level
concurrency, so `run.ID` is populated in time for every expression that
reads `github.run_id` — not just the concurrency group, but also
`run-name`, job names, and `runs-on`.
`jobparser.Parse` now runs inside the `InsertRun` transaction, after
`db.Insert(ctx, run)`. Workflow-level concurrency evaluation runs next
and only mutates `run` in memory. All concurrency-derived fields
(`raw_concurrency`, `concurrency_group`, `concurrency_cancel`) plus
`status` and `title` are persisted in a single final `UpdateRun` at
end-of-transaction — one `INSERT` + one `UPDATE` per run in both the
concurrency and non-concurrency paths (matches pre-branch parity, one
fewer `UpdateRepoRunsNumbers` `COUNT` than the interim state).
`GenerateGiteaContext` now sets `run_id` from `run.ID` unconditionally;
every caller passes a persisted run.
**Verification**: tested end-to-end on a 1.26 deployment. Before the
patch, two successive `ci` pushes (one to master, one to a feature
branch) cross-cancelled each other. After the patch, the same pushes —
in both orders (master→branch, branch→master) — run to completion
simultaneously across 15+ runs with zero cancellations.
**Regression tests** in `services/actions/context_test.go`:
- `TestEvaluateRunConcurrency_RunIDFallback` — unit check that
`EvaluateRunConcurrencyFillModel` resolves `github.run_id` from
`run.ID`.
- `TestPrepareRunAndInsert_ExpressionsSeeRunID` — full-flow check: calls
`PrepareRunAndInsert` with `${{ github.run_id }}` in both `run-name` and
the concurrency group, then asserts the persisted `Title`,
`ConcurrencyGroup`, and `RawConcurrency` contain / survive the run's ID.
Re-ordering `db.Insert` relative to either parse or concurrency eval
fails this test.
## Relation to #37119
[#37119](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/37119) also moves
concurrency evaluation into `InsertRun` but keeps it **before**
`db.Insert`, then tries to populate `run_id` only when `run.ID > 0` —
which is still `0` at that call site, so the cross-branch leak would
survive that PR as written. This PR fixes the ordering so that `run.ID`
is actually populated at eval time, and broadens it to cover parse-time
expression interpolation too.

## Overview
This PR introduces granular permission controls for Gitea Actions tokens
(`GITEA_TOKEN`), aligning Gitea's security model with GitHub Actions
standards while maintaining compatibility with Gitea's unique repository
unit system.
It addresses the need for finer access control by allowing
administrators and repository owners to define default token
permissions, set maximum permission ceilings, and control
cross-repository access within organizations.
## Key Features
### 1. Granular Token Permissions
- **Standard Keyword Support**: Implements support for the
`permissions:` keyword in workflow and job YAML files (e.g., `contents:
read`, `issues: write`).
- **Permission Modes**:
- **Permissive**: Default write access for most units (backwards
compatible).
- **Restricted**: Default read-only access for `contents` and
`packages`, with no access to other units.
- ~~**Custom**: Allows defining specific default levels for each unit
type (Code, Issues, PRs, Packages, etc.).~~**EDIT removed UI was
confusing**
- **Clamping Logic**: Workflow-defined permissions are automatically
"clamped" by repository or organization-level maximum settings.
Workflows cannot escalate their own permissions beyond these limits.
### 2. Organization & Repository Settings
- **Settings UI**: Added new settings pages at both Organization and
Repository levels to manage Actions token defaults and maximums.
- **Inheritance**: Repositories can be configured to "Follow
organization-level configuration," simplifying management across large
organizations.
- **Cross-Repository Access**: Added a policy to control whether Actions
workflows can access other repositories or packages within the same
organization. This can be set to "None," "All," or restricted to a
"Selected" list of repositories.
### 3. Security Hardening
- **Fork Pull Request Protection**: Tokens for workflows triggered by
pull requests from forks are strictly enforced as read-only, regardless
of repository settings.
- ~~**Package Access**: Actions tokens can now only access packages
explicitly linked to a repository, with cross-repo access governed by
the organization's security policy.~~ **EDIT removed
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/36173#issuecomment-3873675346**
- **Git Hook Integration**: Propagates Actions Task IDs to git hooks to
ensure that pushes performed by Actions tokens respect the specific
permissions granted at runtime.
### 4. Technical Implementation
- **Permission Persistence**: Parsed permissions are calculated at job
creation and stored in the `action_run_job` table. This ensures the
token's authority is deterministic throughout the job's lifecycle.
- **Parsing Priority**: Implemented a priority system in the YAML parser
where the broad `contents` scope is applied first, allowing granular
scopes like `code` or `releases` to override it for precise control.
- **Re-runs**: Permissions are re-evaluated during a job re-run to
incorporate any changes made to repository settings in the interim.
### How to Test
1. **Unit Tests**: Run `go test ./services/actions/...` and `go test
./models/repo/...` to verify parsing logic and permission clamping.
2. **Integration Tests**: Comprehensive tests have been added to
`tests/integration/actions_job_token_test.go` covering:
- Permissive vs. Restricted mode behavior.
- YAML `permissions:` keyword evaluation.
- Organization cross-repo access policies.
- Resource access (Git, API, and Packages) under various permission
configs.
3. **Manual Verification**:
- Navigate to **Site/Org/Repo Settings -> Actions -> General**.
- Change "Default Token Permissions" and verify that newly triggered
workflows reflect these changes in their `GITEA_TOKEN` capabilities.
- Attempt a cross-repo API call from an Action and verify the Org policy
is enforced.
