## 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.

By default, the code extracts 200 package versions. If too many packages
are generated every day or if rule cleaning is enabled later, which
means there are more than 200 versions corresponding to the library
package, it may not be cleaned up completely, resulting in residue

Similar to #34544, this PR changes the `opts` argument in
`SearchRepositoryByName()` to be passed by value instead of by pointer,
as its mutations do not escape the function scope and are not used
elsewhere. This simplifies reasoning about the function and avoids
unnecessary pointer usage.
This insight emerged during an initial attempt to refactor
`RenderUserSearch()`, which currently intermixes multiple concerns.

Implements runner apis based on
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/self-hosted-runners?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-self-hosted-runners-for-an-organization
- Add Post endpoints for registration-token, google/go-github revealed
this as problem
- We should deprecate Get Endpoints, leaving them for compatibility
- Get endpoint of admin has api path /admin/runners/registration-token
that feels wrong, /admin/actions/runners/registration-token seems more
consistent with user/org/repo api
- Get Runner Api
- List Runner Api
- Delete Runner Api
- Tests admin / user / org / repo level endpoints
Related to #33750 (implements point 1 and 2)
Via needs discovered in #32461, this runner api is needed to allow
cleanup of runners that are deallocated without user interaction.

Fix#2616
This PR adds a new sort option for exclusive labels.
For exclusive labels, a new property is exposed called "order", while in
the UI options are populated automatically in the `Sort` column (see
screenshot below) for each exclusive label scope.

In history (from some legacy frameworks), both `:name` and `name` are
supported as path path name, `:name` is an alias to `name`.
To make code consistent, now we should only use `name` but not `:name`.
Also added panic check in related functions to make sure the name won't
be abused in case some downstreams still use them.
Replace #26661, fix#25979
Not perfect, but usable and much better than before. Since it is quite
complex, I am not quite sure whether there would be any regression, if
any, I will fix in first time.
I have tested the related pages many times: issue list, milestone issue
list, project view, user issue list, org issue list.
1. add backend support for filtering "poster" and "assignee"
* due to the limits, there is no frontend support at the moment
2. rewrite TS code without jquery, now there are 14 jQuery files left:
This PR only does "renaming":
* `Route` should be `Router` (and chi router is also called "router")
* `Params` should be `PathParam` (to distingush it from URL query param, and to match `FormString`)
* Use lower case for private functions to avoid exposing or abusing
# The problem
The previous implementation will start multiple POST requests from the
frontend when moving a column and another bug is moving the default
column will never be remembered in fact.
# What's changed
- [x] This PR will allow the default column to move to a non-first
position
- [x] And it also uses one request instead of multiple requests when
moving the columns
- [x] Use a star instead of a pin as the icon for setting the default
column action
- [x] Inserted new column will be append to the end
- [x] Fix#30701 the newly added issue will be append to the end of the
default column
- [x] Fix when deleting a column, all issues in it will be displayed
from UI but database records exist.
- [x] Add a limitation for columns in a project to 20. So the sorting
will not be overflow because it's int8.

Since `modules/context` has to depend on `models` and many other
packages, it should be moved from `modules/context` to
`services/context` according to design principles. There is no logic
code change on this PR, only move packages.
- Move `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/context` to
`code.gitea.io/gitea/services/context`
- Move `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/contexttest` to
`code.gitea.io/gitea/services/contexttest` because of depending on
context
- Move `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/upload` to
`code.gitea.io/gitea/services/context/upload` because of depending on
context
Follow #29165.
* Introduce JSONTemplate to help to render JSON templates
* Introduce JSEscapeSafe for templates. Now only use `{{ ... |
JSEscape}}` instead of `{{ ... | JSEscape | Safe}}`
* Simplify "UserLocationMapURL" useage
## Purpose
This is a refactor toward building an abstraction over managing git
repositories.
Afterwards, it does not matter anymore if they are stored on the local
disk or somewhere remote.
## What this PR changes
We used `git.OpenRepository` everywhere previously.
Now, we should split them into two distinct functions:
Firstly, there are temporary repositories which do not change:
```go
git.OpenRepository(ctx, diskPath)
```
Gitea managed repositories having a record in the database in the
`repository` table are moved into the new package `gitrepo`:
```go
gitrepo.OpenRepository(ctx, repo_model.Repo)
```
Why is `repo_model.Repository` the second parameter instead of file
path?
Because then we can easily adapt our repository storage strategy.
The repositories can be stored locally, however, they could just as well
be stored on a remote server.
## Further changes in other PRs
- A Git Command wrapper on package `gitrepo` could be created. i.e.
`NewCommand(ctx, repo_model.Repository, commands...)`. `git.RunOpts{Dir:
repo.RepoPath()}`, the directory should be empty before invoking this
method and it can be filled in the function only. #28940
- Remove the `RepoPath()`/`WikiPath()` functions to reduce the
possibility of mistakes.

Fixes#26548
This PR refactors the rendering of markup links. The old code uses
`strings.Replace` to change some urls while the new code uses more
context to decide which link should be generated.
The added tests should ensure the same output for the old and new
behaviour (besides the bug).
We may need to refactor the rendering a bit more to make it clear how
the different helper methods render the input string. There are lots of
options (resolve links / images / mentions / git hashes / emojis / ...)
but you don't really know what helper uses which options. For example,
we currently support images in the user description which should not be
allowed I think:
<details>
<summary>Profile</summary>

should be satisfied:
- repo: **.profile**
