## Summary
This PR adds **scoped workflows** to Gitea Actions. Workflows defined
centrally in a "source" repository that automatically run on every
repository in scope: an organization's repositories, or (for instance
admins) every repository on the instance. Each scoped run executes in
the consuming repository's own context (its runners, secrets, and
branch) while its content is read from the source repository, so an org
or instance can mandate shared CI across many repositories without
copying workflow files into each one.
An owner or instance admin registers source repositories on a settings
page and can mark individual workflows as **required**. A required
scoped workflow cannot be opted out by a consuming repository and gates
its pull-request merges; an optional one can be disabled per repository.
Scoped workflows live under a dedicated `SCOPED_WORKFLOW_DIRS` (default
`.gitea/scoped_workflows`), kept separate from regular `WORKFLOW_DIRS`.
## Main changes
### Configuration
New `SCOPED_WORKFLOW_DIRS` setting, validated to not overlap with
`WORKFLOW_DIRS`. Default: `.gitea/scoped_workflows`
### Data model & migration
- New `action_scoped_workflow_source` table mapping a registering owner
(`owner_id`, where `0` = instance-level) to a source repository, with a
per-workflow `WorkflowConfigs` map.
- `ActionRun` gains `WorkflowRepoID` / `WorkflowCommitSHA` (the pinned
content source) and an `IsScopedRun` flag.
### Detection & run creation
On consumer events, scoped workflows from the effective sources (the
owner's own sources plus instance-level ones) are matched and turned
into runs that execute in the consumer's context, with content pinned to
the source repo's default-branch commit.
`on: workflow_run` and `on: schedule` are currently not supported.
### Opt-out
A consuming repository can disable an optional scoped workflow (tracked
separately from regular `DisabledWorkflows`); required scoped workflows
can never be disabled, opted out, or bypassed.
### Commit status
A scoped run's status context format is `"<source repo full name>:
<workflow display name> / <job> (<event>)"`
(for example: `my-org/scoped-workflows: db-tests / test-sqlite
(pull_request)`),
keeping it distinct from a same-named repo-level workflow and from other
sources.
### Required status checks
Admins mark workflows required and supply status-check patterns.
`EffectiveRequiredContexts` appends those patterns to the branch
protection's required contexts and they are matched
must-present-and-pass. If the status checks from scoped workflows fail,
the PR cannot be merged.
NOTE: scoped workflows' required status checks patterns can protect any
target branch that has a protection rule, even though the rule's "Status
Check" is disabled. A target branch with no protection rule cannot be
protected.

### Reusable workflows (`uses:`)
A scoped workflow's local `uses: ./...` resolves against the source
repository. `uses:` directory validation honors the
instance-configurable `WORKFLOW_DIRS` and `SCOPED_WORKFLOW_DIRS`
(previously hardcoded to `.gitea`/`.github/workflows`).
### Manual dispatch
`workflow_dispatch` is supported for scoped workflows (web and API),
resolving inputs/content from the source repo.
### Performance
A process-local LRU cache keyed by source repo ID for the per-source
workflow parse, so instance-level and owner-level sources don't open the
source repo and parse workflow files on every event.
### UI
Org / user / admin pages to register and remove sources, search
repositories, and mark workflows required with their status-check
patterns. The repository Actions sidebar groups scoped workflows by
source with owner/instance labels and required/disabled badges.

Parse `Co-authored-by:` trailers from commit messages and surface
contributors as an avatar stack across the commit page, commits list, PR
commits tab, latest-commit row, blame, graph, and dashboard feed.
- Up to 10 visible 20px avatars, GitHub-style overlap (6px first stride,
4px between subsequent), `+N` chip for the rest.
- Label: 1 → name; 2 → `<a> and <b>`; 3+ → `<N> people` opens a Tippy
popup with all participants.
- Names and avatars link to the repo's commits-by-author search; fall
back to profile or `mailto:`.
- Trailer parsing uses `net/mail.ParseAddress`, scans only the trailing
paragraph, filters out the commit's own author/committer.
- Drops the non-standard `Co-committed-by:` emission on squash merge and
web edits.
Devtest: `/devtest/coauthor-avatars`.

- Introduce a “Bypass Protection Allowlist” on branch rules
(users/teams) alongside admins, with BlockAdminMergeOverride
still respected.
- Surface the allowlist in API (create/edit options, structs) and
settings UI; merge box now shows the red button +
message for bypass-capable users.
- Apply bypass logic to merge checks and pre-receive so allowlisted
users can override unmet approvals/status checks/
protected files when force-merging.
- Add migration for new columns, locale strings, and unit tests (bypass
helper; queue test tweak).

Fast-forward-only creates no Gitea commit, so skip the "can Gitea sign"
precheck for it. Pre-check head-commit verification for styles that
preserve user commits on the target (merge, fast-forward-only) so a PR
with unsigned commits surfaces a localized error instead of a 500 at the
pre-receive hook. The dropdown still shows every configured style; the
avatar and signing warning toggle per selection via
data-pull-merge-style.
Fixes#12272
**Note**: Admin force-merge does not bypass the new head-commits check.
This matches the existing `isSignedIfRequired` behavior.

Fix#36905
The changes focus on force-push PR timeline handling and commit range
calculation:
- Reworked pull-request push comment creation to use a new
`gitrepo.GetCommitIDsBetweenReverse` helper, with special handling for
force pushes (merge-base based range, tolerate missing/invalid old
commits, and keep force-push timeline entries).
- Added `Comment.GetPushActionContent` to parse push comment payloads
and used it to delete only non-force-push push comments during force
pushes.
- Removed the old `Repository.CommitsBetweenNotBase` helper from
`modules/git/repo_commit.go` in favor of the new commit ID range helper.
- Added tests for `GetCommitIDsBetweenReverse` (normal range, `notRef`
filtering, fallback branch usage) and expanded pull comment tests to
cover force-push edge cases.

Use shared repo permission resolution for Actions task users in issue
label remove and clear paths, and add a regression test for deleting
issue labels with a Gitea Actions token.
This fixes issue label deletion when the request is authenticated with a
Gitea Actions token.
Fixes#37011
The bug was that the delete path re-resolved repository permissions
using the normal user permission helper, which does not handle Actions
task users. As a result, `DELETE
/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{index}/labels/{id}` could return
`500` for Actions tokens even though label listing and label addition
worked.

1. remove `TEST_CONFLICTING_PATCHES_WITH_GIT_APPLY`
* it defaults to false and is unlikely to be useful for most users (see
#22130)
* with new git versions (>= 2.40), "merge-tree" is used,
"checkConflictsByTmpRepo" isn't called, the option does nothing.
2. fix fragile `db.Cell2Int64` (new: `CellToInt`)
3. allow more routes in maintenance mode (e.g.: captcha)
4. fix MockLocale html escaping to make it have the same behavior as
production locale
## 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.

In manual merge detected changes, the pushing user should be the
de-facto author of the merge, not the committer. For ff-only merges, the
author (PR owner) often have nothing to do with the merger. Similarly,
even if a merge commit exists, it does not indicate that the merge
commit author is the merger. This is especially true if the merge commit
is a ff-only merge on a given branch.
If pusher is for some reason unavailable, we fall back to the old method
of using committer or owning organization as the author.

In Git 2.38, the `merge-tree` command introduced the `--write-tree`
option, which works directly on bare repositories. In Git 2.40, a new parameter `--merge-base` introduced so we require Git 2.40 to use the merge tree feature.
This option produces the merged tree object ID, allowing us to perform
diffs between commits without creating a temporary repository. By
avoiding the overhead of setting up and tearing down temporary repos,
this approach delivers a notable performance improvement.
It also fixes a possible situation that conflict files might be empty
but it's a conflict status according to

Most potential deadlock problems should have been fixed, and new code is
unlikely to cause new problems with the new design.
Also raise the minimum Git version required to 2.6.0 (released in 2015)
Maybe fix#32018
- Use `gitrepo.GetMergeBase` method instead of other two
implementations.
- Add `FetchRemoteCommit` so that we don't need to add many `remote` to
the git repository to avoid possible git lock conflicts. A lock will
start when invoke the function, it will be invoked when cross-repository
comparing. The head repository will fetch the base repository's base
commit id. In most situations, it should lock the fork repositories so
that it should not become a bottleneck.
- Improve `GetCompareInfo` to remove unnecessarily adding remote.
- Remove unnecessary parameters of `SignMerge`.
1 Move `IsRepositoryModelOrDirExist` and `CheckCreateRepository` to
service layer
2 Use `gitrepo.Pushxxx` instead of `git.Push` when possible
3 use `gitrepo.Clonexxx` instead of `gitrepo.Clone` when possible
Partially fix#34710
The bug described in #34710 can be divided into two parts: `push.paths`
and `pull_request.paths`. This PR fixes the issue related to
`pull_request.paths`. The root cause is that the check for whether the
workflow can be triggered happens **before** updating the PR’s merge
base. This causes the file-change detection to use the old merge base.
Therefore, we need to update the merge base first and then check whether
the workflow can be triggered.
