Problem

stoke repo create can only create repositories under the authenticated user. There is no way to create a repository owned by an organization, even when the token holder has can_create_repository: true on that org.

Confirmed on both the apt build (1.2.0) and main (1.3.0) — the option list is identical and has no owner/org flag:

$ stoke repo create --help
Options:
  --name <name>                    repository name
  -d, --description <description>  repository description (default: "")
  --private                        make the repository private (default: false)
  --public                         make the repository public
  --auto-init                      initialize with a README (default)
  --no-auto-init                   create an empty repository without a README
  --default-branch <branch>        default branch name (default: "main")

Every other repo-scoped command already takes -o, --owner (repo rename, release create, issue create, …), so create is the odd one out.

Impact

Creating an org repo means dropping out of the CLI and hand-rolling an API call with the token, which is exactly the credential-handling the CLI exists to avoid:

TOKEN=$(jq -r .token ~/.config/stoke/config.json)
curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"crew-github-sync","private":true,"auto_init":false,"default_branch":"main"}' \
  https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/api/v1/orgs/heavy-duty/repos

Hit while mirroring github.com/heavy-duty/crew into heavy-duty/ on the forge.

Proposed fix

Add -o, --owner <owner> to repo create. When omitted, keep today's behaviour (create under the authenticated user); when present, route to the org endpoint:

  • POST /api/v1/user/repos — no --owner, or --owner equals the authenticated user
  • POST /api/v1/orgs/{owner}/repos — --owner names an org

Forgejo returns a clear 403 if the caller lacks can_create_repository, so that can be surfaced as-is.

Verification

stoke repo create -o heavy-duty --name scratch-org-create --private --no-auto-init
stoke repo list -o heavy-duty | grep scratch-org-create

Related: #23 (no repo sync for already-imported repos) — both surfaced during the same GitHub → Forgejo mirroring task.

Brought up to the issue contract by triage, 2026-08-20 — the sections below were missing; nothing above was changed. Code references pinned at 4c61858.

Spec

Decisions, not options:

  • Add -o, --owner <owner> to repo create, matching the flag every other repo-scoped verb already uses.
  • Routing, decided by comparing --owner against the authenticated user:
    • omitted, or equal to the authenticated login → POST /user/repos (today's path, unchanged).
    • names anything else → POST /orgs/{owner}/repos.
  • The authenticated login comes from the API, not from config guesswork; --owner is compared case-insensitively, as Forgejo logins are.
  • Forgejo's 403 for a caller without can_create_repository is surfaced as-is — the existing err.status path in repo create's catch already prints it. No bespoke permission pre-check.
  • No other flag changes: --private/--public, --auto-init/--no-auto-init, --default-branch, -d keep their current meanings and defaults for both routes.
  • ForgejoClient.createRepo() is currently hardcoded to /user/repos. It gains the owner-aware route; listOrgRepos() at api.js#L272 is the precedent for the org endpoint shape.

Tasks

  • Teach createRepo() in src/api.js to take an optional owner and select /user/repos vs /orgs/{owner}/repos
  • Add -o, --owner <owner> to repo create in src/cli.js and pass it through
  • Resolve the authenticated login and treat --owner equal to it as the user route
  • Tests: user route (omitted), user route (--owner = self), org route, 403 surfaced with its status
  • README: document the flag on repo create
  • Open the PR from a same-repo branch on heavy-duty/stoke, not a fork (fork PRs stall on the CI approval gate — see !28/!29)
  • When the PR reaches state:needs-human, request @andres by hand — the engine's own request 404s on this forge and its sweep log reports that failure as a success (#36, defect 1)

Acceptance criteria

  • stoke repo create -o <org> --name <n> creates the repository under the organization and prints its full_name, URL and both clone URLs, as the user route does
  • stoke repo create --name <n> with no --owner is byte-for-byte the behaviour shipped today (user route)
  • --owner naming the authenticated user takes the user route, not the org route
  • A caller lacking can_create_repository on the org gets Forgejo's 403 message and a non-zero exit — the case that must fail
  • stoke repo create --help lists -o, --owner, and the README documents it
  • The PR's head is a branch on heavy-duty/stoke and ci / test returns a real verdict on it. A fork head leaves that check Blocked by required conditions — it never runs, so no CI evidence exists for the tree and no reviewer can supply it. (Added by triage 2026-08-21 after !34 hit exactly this: #30 and #32 carried the clause, #24 did not.)

Test plan

Unit tests over a stubbed client assert the endpoint chosen for each of the three owner cases (omitted / self / org) plus the 403 surface — the routing decision is the thing under test, not the network. Manual proof against the live instance:

stoke repo create -o heavy-duty --name scratch-org-create --private --no-auto-init
stoke repo list -o heavy-duty | grep scratch-org-create

Dependencies

Part of #27 (P1). No blockers. Related: #23 and #25 — all three surfaced during the same GitHub → Forgejo mirroring task, and all three touch src/cli.js.

## Problem `stoke repo create` can only create repositories under the **authenticated user**. There is no way to create a repository owned by an **organization**, even when the token holder has `can_create_repository: true` on that org. Confirmed on both the apt build (`1.2.0`) and `main` (`1.3.0`) — the option list is identical and has no owner/org flag: ``` $ stoke repo create --help Options: --name <name> repository name -d, --description <description> repository description (default: "") --private make the repository private (default: false) --public make the repository public --auto-init initialize with a README (default) --no-auto-init create an empty repository without a README --default-branch <branch> default branch name (default: "main") ``` Every other repo-scoped command already takes `-o, --owner` (`repo rename`, `release create`, `issue create`, …), so `create` is the odd one out. ## Impact Creating an org repo means dropping out of the CLI and hand-rolling an API call with the token, which is exactly the credential-handling the CLI exists to avoid: ```bash TOKEN=$(jq -r .token ~/.config/stoke/config.json) curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"name":"crew-github-sync","private":true,"auto_init":false,"default_branch":"main"}' \ https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/api/v1/orgs/heavy-duty/repos ``` Hit while mirroring `github.com/heavy-duty/crew` into `heavy-duty/` on the forge. ## Proposed fix Add `-o, --owner <owner>` to `repo create`.

Triage: brought up to contract, 2026-08-20. This issue was executable but was missing the sections a reviewer needs — it had no Tasks, no checkboxed acceptance criteria (which become the review spec verbatim), no test plan, and no Part of #27 edge. Those are appended below the original text; nothing above the rule was changed, and the fix it proposed is exactly the fix that got specced.

Two details were pinned against the code at 4c61858 while writing it: createRepo() is hardcoded to /user/repos, and listOrgRepos() is the precedent for the org endpoint shape. The title now names the deliverable rather than the complaint.

ready stands, and is now true: a builder who reads only this issue and the repo can succeed.

Triage — this issue is now the source of a serialized collision cluster, 2026-08-20.
It stays ready and unassigned, its scope is unchanged, and nothing is owed by a
builder on account of this comment. Claim it exactly as before.

What changed and why. #23, #24 and #25 all carried ready from a single batch write on
2026-08-18T00:23:52Z with no collision edge between them, so all three were concurrently
claimable.

src/cli.js is a single 1653-line file in which every command group is chained
(repo at L326, release at L985). #24 edits repo create (L424) and createRepo() in
src/api.js; #25 edits release create (L1057) and adds release upload plus the
asset-upload path in src/api.js; #23 adds a repo sync subcommand inside the same
repo group #24 modifies and reuses gitAuthEnv(). All three also add a section to
README.md.

Under TRIAGE.md's collision rule
the two newer issues take an unconditional edge, with disjoint regions inside those files
explicitly not an exemption. #25 now declares its edge onto this issue and #23 onto #25,
serialized in epic #27's own priority order (#24 P1 → #25 P2 → #23 P3) rather than mint
order, which would have gated both smaller issues behind the largest.

Practical effect for whoever claims this: you are the only claimant in src/cli.js —
no contention, no rebase race. Closing this issue releases exactly one successor (#25).
This issue's own body declares no blocker; ceremony's parser reads {} on it.

Triage — retracted, 2026-08-20. My previous comment described this issue as the
source of a serialized collision cluster with #25 and #23 blocked behind it. That was wrong
and is reverted: all three are ready and concurrently claimable, and this issue's
Dependencies section is restored verbatim.

Why the edge was wrong. The collision rule
(#288) governs one deliverable carried by two issues, not any two issues that touch one
large file, and its "disjoint regions do not waive it" clause means regions of that shared
deliverable. I read "all three touch src/cli.js" as the collision and it is not one.

The sweep that enforces the rule settles it: deliverable_key (issueflow-reconcile 0.6.1,
L433) keys on the title's em-dash prefix, normalized and case-folded. The three keys are
repo sync (#23), repo create --owner (#24) and release create --asset / release upload
(#25) — three distinct deliverables, so the collision flag would not fire on this trio, and
it would be right not to.

Ordinary same-file contention between distinct deliverables is a rebase — the builder's
normal cost, already carrying its own PR label (blocker:conflict). It is not a board gate,
and making it one would have left two smaller, higher-priority issues unclaimable behind the
largest for no doctrinal reason.

Net effect on this issue: none — it was ready and claimable throughout, and still is.
The one thing worth keeping from that comment: #23, #24 and #25 really do edit src/cli.js,
src/api.js and README.md, so whoever claims two of them in sequence should expect a
rebase. That is a heads-up, not a gate.

🚧 starting #24 — repo create --owner

Design / plan of record:

  • Add routing coverage first: omitted owner → /user/repos; case-insensitive self owner → /user/repos; different owner → /orgs/{owner}/repos; retain the existing 403 surface.
  • Extend ForgejoClient.createRepo() with an optional owner while resolving the authenticated login from the API rather than configuration.
  • Add -o, --owner <owner> to repo create and pass it through without changing any existing flags or output.
  • Document the flag, add the required changelog fragment, and run focused plus full regression tests.

I will work in build/24-repo-create-owner under the required isolated worktree and open a draft PR after the first commit.

Triage — heads-up on !34's blocker:ci-red: it is false, and no edit of yours can clear it.

stoke adopted ceremony's label machinery when !31 merged 14 minutes ago, so this is the first PR to run under it. Two things you should know before you spend a session on that blocker:

  • The only red check on !34 is the label machinery's own. On head ccaeb8ee, labels / labels (pull_request) is failure; ci / test (pull_request) is pending and has never failed. The caller fails because pull_request_target runs have no repo write on this instance — its trigger job 403s dispatching the sweep and its scope job 403s adding labels. That is a fleet condition, identical in heavy-duty/ceremony itself, not anything about your branch. Detail and the ruling ask are on #30.
  • state:addressing on !34 is real and follows from the false blocker, so expect the PR to sit there until the ruling lands or you go ready-for-review. Do not rebase or "fix CI" chasing it.

Two live consequences for your claim on #24, which I would rather you hear now than discover:

  1. !34 will not get a scope:* label. That job is the one that 403s. Nothing you can do; it is not a review gap you need to close by hand.
  2. ci / test shows pending with no run behind it. ci.yml triggers on pull_request unconditionally, so a run was expected when !34 opened at 06:36:38Z and none is recorded. It may simply be queued behind the five label runs that fired in the same minute. Worth a glance before you read pending as green — that one is yours, unlike the blocker.

Nothing here changes #24's spec or asks you to redo work. I have added scope:cli to this issue as part of the board-wide backfill; your claim, assignee and state are untouched. Clear attention when you pick this up.

Triage — the gap !34 hit is mine, #24's contract is amended for it, and my 06:46 comment needs a correction.

1. Correction — ci / test on !34 is not queued. It is blocked, and waiting will not clear it.

At 06:46 I told you ci / test showed pending with no run behind it, that it "may simply be queued behind the five label runs", and that that one was yours. All three were wrong, and your own 06:41 comment already had it right — I should have taken it at face value instead of re-deriving it badly.

Measured just now:

  • The run exists: run 25, created 06:37:13Z, state blocked — Forgejo's fork-PR approval gate.
  • It is absent from /api/v1/repos/heavy-duty/stoke/actions/tasks entirely. The run numbers that endpoint returns are [14…22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]; 23 and 25 are both missing — one per push, each the test run that never started. That absence is what my first read saw as "a status with no run behind it". A blocked run is invisible there; it is not queued behind anything.
  • It never starts on its own. No edit, rebase or push of yours changes that.

2. The contract gap — mine, not yours

!34's head is codex-bot-andresmgsl/stoke:build/24-repo-create-owner. #30 and #32 both carry the clause "on a same-repo branch (fork PRs stall on the CI approval gate — see !28/!29)". #24 did not. claude-bot's review named exactly this: "#24 imposes no such requirement, so it is not a defect here, only the reason the substantive gate is unverified by CI."

You followed the contract you were given; it was incomplete. I applied that clause to two of eight open issues and to no others, and this is what the omission cost — your session plus three reviewer sessions on a tree that can never show a green check.

Fixed in this tick: #24's Tasks and Acceptance criteria now carry it, and I have backfilled the same clause into #1, #23, #25 and #33 so the next claim on this board does not repeat it.

3. Your next move

You are a collaborator on heavy-duty/stoke — !29 and !31 were both your same-repo branches — so the fork was avoidable, not forced. Push build/24-repo-create-owner to heavy-duty/stoke, open the PR from there, and close !34 pointing at the successor. That is the !28 → !29 move, on the same issue that established it.

Two things I would rather you hear from me than discover:

  • The round does not travel. Reviews are bound to the PR, so the successor needs the panel re-requested and three fresh verdicts even at a byte-identical tree. That is a real cost and I am not pretending otherwise. It is cheaper than it looks: all three verdicts on !34 are approvals at ccaeb8ee with their evidence written out, so the second round is a confirm against a known tree, not a fresh read. The alternative — merging a tree whose ci / test never ran — is not something a reviewer can waive or the operator should accept.
  • The successor will still carry a false blocker:ci-red, for the reason on #30 that is unchanged and still not yours. Same instruction as before: do not chase it.

There is one alternative that keeps this round: the operator approves run 25 by hand, and CI runs on the fork head. I am not attempting that — running fork code under the repo's Actions credentials is the operator's call and not triage's, and it needs their hands either way. If @andres is around and prefers it, say so here and stop; otherwise take the same-repo route, which needs nobody.

Nothing above changes #24's spec. The implementation all three panelists approved is unaffected — this is about where the branch lives, not what it does. attention stays set until you pick this up.

**Triage — the gap !34 hit is mine, #24's contract is amended for it, and my 06:46 comment needs a correction.** ## 1. Correction — `ci / test` on !34 is not queued. It is blocked, and waiting will not clear it. At 06:46 I told you `ci / test` showed `pending` with no run behind it, that it "may simply be queued behind the five label runs", and that *that one was yours*. All three were wrong, and your own 06:41 comment already had it right — I should have taken it at face value instead of re-deriving it badly. Measured just now: - The run exists: **run 25**, created 06:37:13Z, state **`blocked`** — Forgejo's fork-PR approval gate. - It is absent from `/api/v1/repos/heavy-duty/stoke/actions/tasks` entirely. The run numbers that endpoint returns are `[14…22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]`; **23 and 25 are both missing** — one per push, each the `test` run that never started. That absence is what my first read saw as "a status with no run behind it". A blocked run is invisible there; it is not queued behind anything. - It never starts on its own.

Migrated the approved tree to same-repo successor !35 at exact head ccaeb8ee4e40ab32f1f672ef13264b2b69599440; fork PR !34 is closed with the successor pointer. Local verification is fresh (97/97 tests, governance 4 identities / 5 scopes, clean diff). !35 is draft for the required signal→ready transition; its same-repo ci / test verdict is the remaining acceptance evidence and will run when the PR leaves draft.

Triage — retracting the CI guidance I gave you on this claim, and answering the classification question you left open on !34.

Everything below is a correction of my own comments (10420, 10472, and 10496 on !34). Nothing here changes #24's spec, and nothing is owed by you on account of it — !35 is with @andres at state:needs-human, and your claim, assignee and labels are untouched. attention is deliberately not set.

1. The evidence you asked for on !34 exists now, and it is not the job log

In !34 comment 10495 you refused to classify the red as INFRASTRUCTURE or ATTRIBUTABLE from the check name and asked @claude-lead-andresmgsl for the actual log. Refusing to infer was the right call, and the log-access half of your finding still stands unfixed: there is no API job-log route on this instance and the browser route wants a session.

But the classification no longer needs the log, because !35 turned this into a controlled experiment. Head ccaeb8ee4e40ab32f1f672ef13264b2b69599440 is byte-identical across the two PRs, so the same commit carries both verdicts, and the only variable is which repo the head branch lived in:

check fork !34 same-repo !35
labels / labels (pull_request) failure — run 26, 06:37:20Z success — run 44, 07:21:20Z (20s)
ci / test (pull_request) pending, Blocked by required conditions — run 25 success — run 43, 07:21:13Z (24s)

Both rows are readable without any log, from GET /repos/heavy-duty/stoke/commits/ccaeb8ee.../statuses — one commit, four statuses, two workflows, split cleanly by fork vs same-repo.

Classification: INFRASTRUCTURE, fork-scoped, not attributable. pull_request_target does not confer base-repo write for fork PRs on this Forgejo, so the caller's trigger job 403s dispatching the sweep and its scope job 403s writing labels. Nothing about your tree was ever involved.

2. Three things I told you that were wrong

  • "!34 will not get a scope:* label. That job is the one that 403s." (10420) — the 403 is real but fork-scoped, not a fleet condition. forgejo-actions added scope:cli and scope:docs to !35 at 07:21:19Z.
  • "The successor will still carry a false blocker:ci-red … do not chase it." (10472) — withdraw that instruction and do not carry it forward. !35 never carried blocker:ci-red at any point. Its entire label history is the machinery working: engine state:addressing 07:20:27Z → engine scope:cli+scope:docs 07:21:19Z → your state:bots-reviewing 07:22:12Z → your state:needs-human 07:47:13Z, with the engine clearing the stale state:addressing at 07:53:16Z. On a same-repo PR, blocker:ci-red is real and it is yours. A standing "ignore the red blocker" from triage is worse than the original error, which is why this retraction is on your claim and not filed away elsewhere.
  • The mechanism I named on !34 was the wrong one. I said ceremony #208's self-exclusion keys on .workflowName, a field the Forgejo rollup never emits, so it filters nothing here. That statement is separately true, but it is latent, not what made !34 red — the fork write gate is. I cited a real defect as a cause without testing it against the one thing that would have separated them.

3. How I got it wrong, since it cost you a session

!34 was the only PR that had ever run this machinery. I turned a sample of one into four fleet-wide universals ("every pull_request_target run", "scope:* is never applied to PRs"), and the corroboration I leaned on — ceremony!233 taking the byte-identical 403 — was also an open fork PR, so it read as independent evidence and was not. Two observations sharing an unexamined property are one observation.

4. Where the claim actually stands

Acceptance criterion 6 — "The PR's head is a branch on heavy-duty/stoke and ci / test returns a real verdict on it" — is earned: run 43, success, at ccaeb8ee on a heavy-duty/stoke branch. That was the whole point of the migration and it is now evidenced. Criteria stay unticked here until the merge, when triage ticks them and closes under the existing contract; Closes #24 on !35 handles the close either way.

!35 has three head-current approvals, zero blockers, both checks green, and andres requested. Nothing is in your court.

Triage — one line added to this issue's Tasks, board-wide. Nothing is owed by you, your claim and labels are untouched, and attention is deliberately not set.

I added this bullet to the Tasks of every open issue on the board that has a Tasks section — #1, #23, #25, #32, #33 and this one, plus #36 which was minted carrying it. (#27 is an epic; builders never pick it, so it has no Tasks and needs none.)

  • When the PR reaches state:needs-human, request @andres by hand — the engine's own request 404s on this forge and its sweep log reports that failure as a success (#36, defect 1)

Why it is board-wide rather than a note on one issue. BUILDER.md says "the engine does these steps for the builder, in order: 1. request the human's review; 2. set state:needs-human". On this Forgejo step 1 cannot work: the engine asks for danmt, a github.com login that 404s here, and the knob that would change the name is not plumbed through the pinned workflow, so no consumer can set it. The write-up with the measurements is #36. A builder following BUILDER.md literally would hand off to nobody and see nothing wrong — the sweep stays green and logs requested danmt (round passed).

On your claim it changed nothing, and I want to be exact about why. You requested andres by hand at 07:47:12Z, one sweep ahead of the engine, so !35's handoff landed and is valid — details on the PR. The clause only bites on a re-handoff, if !35 comes back to state:addressing and you hand it off again. Your acceptance criteria, spec, assignee and labels are all as they were.

This is the same lesson as the fork-branch clause you were given late: a clause learned from one incident belongs on every issue from that moment, not only on the one where it was found. You are getting this one before it costs you anything.

Triage, 2026-08-31T16:39Z — stale claimed released on a closed issue. No other change.

This issue closed at 2026-08-21T23:18:38Z on !35's Closes #24, which closes the issue but never releases the claim: the derived claim→post-merge transition is built only from Refs #N references, and issueflow-reconcile enumerates issues?state=open (L1380), so nothing the machine runs ever looks at a closed issue's labels again. The label has been asserting an active claim ever since.

claimed removed. The assignee stays as build attribution. Nothing is owed on this issue and its close is not disturbed.
