Term 1's foundation. lib/forge.sh gains forge_select, which sources exactly
one of lib/forge-github.sh or lib/forge-forgejo.sh; both define the same
verbs, so no branching reaches the 61 call sites. The github backend is the
current gh invocation extracted 1:1 — term 5 is kept by making that path
boring.
The page size moves OUT of the call sites and into the backend, because it
is not portable and fails silently. Measured 2026-08-02:
?per_page=100 GitHub 100 items Forgejo 30 items (ignored)
?limit=100 GitHub 30 items Forgejo 50 items (capped)
Both answer HTTP 200 with valid JSON. Every call site here is GitHub-shaped,
so a verbatim port would have swept 30 of rig's 137 issues and printed
"reconciled." — criterion 2 failing green, the same failure class as the
blind sweep. Both page_url helpers strip a stray page-size parameter in
either dialect, so a call site cannot reintroduce it by accident.
Forgejo caps a page at 50 whatever is asked, so pagination is mandatory, not
an optimisation. The gather is then PROVEN complete against x-total-count
rather than assumed complete because a loop ended.
@kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl's hardening (#4699): a missing x-total-count is
itself a loud refusal. Header exposure is a server setting, and an assert
that cannot run must not silently pass — that is the failure class
re-entering through the guard built to stop it.
Call sites are not ported yet; that is the next commit.

Term 3 of #188. Forgejo has no GraphQL API, so these two gathers could not
be translated — there is no endpoint to translate them to. A real
forgejo-runner job says so from the other side: GITHUB_GRAPHQL_URL arrives
set to the empty string (probe task 278).
MERGED_REF_PR_RECORDS was already a body parse; GraphQL was buying
pagination, nothing semantic. OPEN_PR_ISSUES used GitHub's own parse of the
closing keywords, so it becomes lib/closes_references.sh — a sibling of
refs_references, sharing its LOCAL/CROSS classifier so rig#112 can still
never be read as local #112 (#61).
Both gathers now read /pulls, which /api/v3 and /api/v1 return in the same
shape (measured on both). merged_at replaces GraphQL's states: MERGED.
Bodies travel base64: jq's @tsv escapes a newline to a literal backslash-n,
which a line parser reads as one line and loses every declaration after the
first.
The accepted delta, written down rather than rediscovered: GitHub also
records closing links attached through the PR development sidebar, which
live in no body. This family declares links in the body, so the delta is
zero here.

The preflight half of #188, landed first so it stands alone: the forge is
decided once, before any sweep, and a client that cannot speak it exits
non-zero with a named reason.
Measured against forgejo.heavyduty.builders at 84bb1a4 — two of the three
actions reported SUCCESS having read nothing:
labels-scope exit 0 "no .github/labeler.yml" (the file is HTTP 200)
labels-reconcile exit 0 "reconciled." (zero PRs enumerated)
issueflow-reconcile exit 1 "unexpected end of JSON input"
labels-reconcile's blind-sweep warning (#96) could not fire: it counts
unreadable PRs against a list `gh pr list` never produced, and a process
substitution's failure does not trip set -e, so total stayed 0. Installing
gh makes it worse, silencing the one loud failure.
Detection is measured, not inferred from docs: a real forgejo-runner v6.3.1
job (probe task 278) shows Forgejo populating the whole GITHUB_* namespace,
so GITHUB_ACTIONS proves nothing. GITHUB_API_URL's shape, GITEA_ACTIONS and
GITHUB_SERVER_URL do. The same probe shows the runner image carries neither
gh nor stoke, which is what makes the forgejo backend REST.
Tests declare CEREMONY_FORGE at the forge boundary rather than stubbing gh
and staying silent about the forge — the boundary move term 5 asks for.
