fj stores logins as host:port without a scheme. With no project remote in scope (Settings → Source control), discovery checks the login with fj --host https://<host> whoami. Against an HTTP-only server that fails with a TLS error, and parseAuth reported every failed whoami as 'unauthenticated'. The discovery parseAuth in ForgejoSourceControlProvider.makeDiscovery now reports unknown ("Could not reach to verify the fj login.", with the host) when fj's stderr contains error sending request for url. That is reqwest's message for transport failures (TLS, connect, DNS), never for an HTTP 401, so a rejected token still reports unauthenticated. I deliberately did not add a fallback to http://: the existing code only uses HTTP when an explicit matching http:// remote asks for it, and retrying in plaintext after a TLS failure would let an attacker who can break TLS downgrade the token to cleartext. The issue's expected behaviour allows 'not verifiable'. No new regex or parser: one fixed-substring includes over at most 8 KB of captured stderr, linear in the worst case. The only visible change is the status of this one previously wrong verdict, plus its detail text.

Fixes #33410

Reproduction on main

Commit ddc4f57 (origin/main). Started codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:11 in Docker served over plain HTTP on 127.0.0.1:3410, created a user and an access token. Installed the official fj v0.7.0 Linux binary with an isolated XDG_DATA_HOME and ran fj -H http://localhost:3410 auth add-token <token>; keys.json stored the host as localhost:3410 with no scheme. fj -H http://localhost:3410 whoami printed currently signed into tester@localhost:3410; fj -H https://localhost:3410 whoami failed with error sending request for url (https://localhost:3410/api/v1/user?) ... received corrupt message of type InvalidContentType, matching the report. Started T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev with that XDG_DATA_HOME and fj on PATH, paired the preview browser and opened /settings/source-control (no project in scope). The Source control providers list showed 'Forgejo / Gitea fj v0.7.0 Not authenticated' with the text 'Forgejo / Gitea is not authenticated on this server. Sign in or configure credentials using the fj tool on the server host to enable change request features.' Added a discovery test to ForgejoSourceControlProvider.test.ts using the real ForgejoCli layer, a scheme-less keys.json, no origin remote, and an fj stub that fails over https and succeeds over http; on main it fails with expected 'unauthenticated' to not equal 'unauthenticated'.

Evidence

Authenticated official fj v0.7.0 against a real HTTP-only Forgejo 11 server at localhost:3410. HTTP whoami succeeded; HTTPS failed with InvalidContentType. Ran each commit with a fresh database and the same isolated login, then opened Settings → Source control without a project remote selected. Both captures use Chromium on Linux, a 1280×800 CSS viewport, and light theme.

Final proof uses the manual comparison; initial scenario runs did not inherit the isolated credential directory.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

• Other transport failures, including DNS failures and connection refusal, were not exercised.
• Desktop and mobile clients were not captured; this proof covers the reported web Settings flow.

Tests

vp test run src/server/ForgejoSourceControlProvider.test.ts in packages/source-control-forgejo: the repro test fails without the fix (expected 'unauthenticated' to not equal 'unauthenticated'); with the fix 44/44 pass. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (11 packages) and tests (2 files, 46 tests) all pass.

Not in this change

• Actually verifying (showing 'authenticated') an HTTP-only fj login with no project remote would need a way to know the login's scheme (fj does not store it, and an automatic http:// fallback would downgrade token transport). This needs a product decision, such as a per-host scheme setting.
• The 'unknown' detail names the https:// URL that was tried, even though the server is HTTP-only. I left the wording minimal.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at e4941d0

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Forgejo transport failures now display an unknown authentication status instead of incorrectly requesting authentication again. The change leaves credentials and remote authorization unchanged and only relaxes the existing readiness gate for explicit user actions.

Walkthrough

When Forgejo login verification fails with a request transport error, the provider now reports authentication as unknown rather than unauthenticated. A discovery regression test covers saved credentials for an HTTP-only host.

Changes: Forgejo HTTP-only authentication status

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Transport error authentication status packages/source-control-forgejo/src/server/ForgejoSourceControlProvider.ts, packages/source-control-forgejo/src/server/ForgejoSourceControlProvider.test.ts	The provider reports unknown authentication status when verification fails with error sending request for url. Other failed verifications remain unauthenticated. The discovery test checks selection of fj and confirms the status is not unauthenticated for an HTTP-only host.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to e4941

Forgejo logins that cannot be verified because the server is unreachable are now shown as unknown instead of unauthenticated. Failed authentication is unchanged. HTTP-only hosts still will not show as authenticated without a separate scheme decision, but nothing here blocks merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change: a valid HTTP-only fj login is no longer reported as unauthenticated. The Forgejo provider change matches it. It follows the conventional commit form and is specific. The author's note that this does not yet show the login as authenticated is a scope point, not a title mismatch.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes relate to the linked issue. The change in ForgejoSourceControlProvider.ts alters only the discovery parseAuth outcome for a transport-error stderr. It adds a status and detail for the unreachable case. The test in ForgejoSourceControlProvider.test.ts covers the same HTTP-only discovery path. The PR description states that the change adds no new parser or regex and no HTTP fallback. No unrelated file or behavior change appears in the PR summary. The PR summary does not include the full diff, so this verdict relies on the summary and the PR description.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #33410 expects the Forgejo/Gitea provider to show as authenticated when the fj login is valid and the host is HTTP-only, with no project remote in scope. The PR does not meet this. The PR changes the discovery parseAuth in ForgejoSourceControlProvider.makeDiscovery so that a transport failure (stderr containing error sending request for url) reports unknown instead of unauthenticated. The PR description states that the login is still not verified and that the HTTP-only case is not shown as authenticated. The PR does not add any of the fixes listed in the issue: HTTP fallback, reuse of a known project remote scheme, or per-host scheme configuration. The added test asserts only that the status is not unauthenticated, not that it is authenticated. The change is a valid partial mitigation of a misreported verdict, but it does not implement the expected behavior.

Resolution

Make the discovery check report authenticated for a valid fj login on an HTTP-only host when no project remote is in scope. Choose a scheme source that does not downgrade token transport. Options include a per-host scheme setting, or reusing the scheme from a known project remote on the same host. Add a test that asserts authenticated for the HTTP-only case, using the existing fj stub that fails over https and succeeds over http. If the team decides that this product change is out of scope, the issue must be re-scoped or closed by the maintainers. Until then, this requirement remains unmet.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The PR description is thorough and closely follows the template. It states the problem (scheme-less fj logins against HTTP-only servers reported as unauthenticated), the change (failed whoami with 'error sending request for url' now reports unknown with the host), and the scope rationale (no HTTP fallback, to avoid token downgrade). It links the issue (#33410) and gives a reproduction on main, before/after evidence, and a test summary. Verification lists focused tests and the check:changed run, and it names what was not checked. The 'Scope and approval' section links the issue, but the description does not include a maintainer approval comment or explain why the fix qualifies without one, so that part is incomplete. The template's agent-model line is also absent, though the description says AI-assisted without naming the model and harness.

Resolution

Add the maintainer approval for this direction and scope to the 'Scope and approval' section. Link the approval comment, or explain why the fix qualifies as a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug without a prior issue or discussion. Also, if an agent did the work, end the description with the model and harness that did it, as the template requests. The rest of the description meets the template requirements.
