This adds a complete REST API implementation for managing repository
project boards, including projects, columns, and adding issues to columns.
API Endpoints:
- GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects - List projects
- POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects - Create project
- GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/{id} - Get project
- PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/{id} - Update project
- DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/{id} - Delete project
- GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/{id}/columns - List columns
- POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/{id}/columns - Create column
- PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/columns/{id} - Update column
- DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/columns/{id} - Delete column
- POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/projects/columns/{id}/issues - Add issue
Features:
- Full Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
- Proper permission checks
- Pagination support for list endpoints
- State filtering (open/closed/all)
- Comprehensive error handling
- Token-based authentication with scope validation
- Archive repository protection

fix(api): remove duplicated permission checks in project handlers
Route middleware reqRepoReader(unit.TypeProjects) wraps the entire
/projects route group, and reqRepoWriter(unit.TypeProjects) is applied
to each mutating route individually in api.go. These middleware run
before any handler fires and already gate access correctly.
The inline CanRead/CanWrite checks at the top of all 10 handlers were
therefore unreachable dead code — removed from ListProjects, GetProject,
CreateProject, EditProject, DeleteProject, ListProjectColumns,
CreateProjectColumn, EditProjectColumn, DeleteProjectColumn, and
AddIssueToProjectColumn.
The now-unused "code.gitea.io/gitea/models/unit" import is also removed.

fix(api): replace AddOrUpdateIssueToColumn with IssueAssignOrRemoveProject
The custom AddOrUpdateIssueToColumn function introduced by this PR was
missing three things that the existing IssueAssignOrRemoveProject provides:
1. db.WithTx transaction wrapper — raw DB updates without a transaction
can leave the database in a partial state on error.
2. CreateComment(CommentTypeProject) — assigning an issue to a project
column via the UI creates a comment on the issue timeline. The API
doing the same action silently was an inconsistency.
3. CanBeAccessedByOwnerRepo ownership check — IssueAssignOrRemoveProject
validates that the issue is accessible within the repo/org context
before mutating state.
AddOrUpdateIssueToColumn is removed entirely. AddIssueToProjectColumn
now delegates to issues_model.IssueAssignOrRemoveProject, which already
has the issue object loaded earlier in the handler.

fix(api): remove unnecessary pagination from ListProjectColumns
Project columns are few in number by design (typically 3-8 per board).
The previous implementation fetched all columns from the DB then sliced
the result in memory — adding complexity and a misleading Link header
without any practical benefit.
ListProjectColumns now returns all columns directly. The page/limit
query parameters and associated swagger docs are removed.

fix(api): regenerate swagger spec after removing ListProjectColumns pagination
Removes the page and limit parameters from the generated swagger spec
for the ListProjectColumns endpoint, matching the handler change that
dropped in-memory pagination.

test(api): remove pagination assertion from TestAPIListProjectColumns
ListProjectColumns no longer supports pagination — it returns all columns
directly. Remove the page/limit test case that expected 2 of 3 columns.

fix(api): implement proper pagination for ListProjectColumns
Per contribution guidelines, list endpoints must support page/limit
query params and set X-Total-Count header.
- Add CountColumns and GetColumnsPaginated to project model (DB-level,
not in-memory slicing)
- ListProjectColumns uses utils.GetListOptions, calls paginated model
functions, and sets X-Total-Count via ctx.SetTotalCountHeader
- Restore page/limit swagger doc params on the endpoint
- Regenerate swagger spec
- Integration test covers: full list with X-Total-Count, page 1 of 2,
page 2 of 2, and 404 for non-existent project

Integration tests
Integration tests can be run with make commands for the appropriate backends, namely:
make test-sqlite
make test-pgsql
make test-mysql
make test-mssql
Make sure to perform a clean build before running tests:
make clean build

Setting timeouts for declaring long-tests and long-flushes
We appreciate that some testing machines may not be very powerful and the default timeouts for declaring a slow test or a slow clean-up flush may not be appropriate.
You can set the following environment variables:
GITEA_TEST_SLOW_RUN="10s" GITEA_TEST_SLOW_FLUSH="1s" make test-sqlite
