feat: discussion artifacts as wiki pages, in two new layers

A discussion leaves behind a directory of markdown somewhere outside this
repo, and the only durable home for it is the Gitea wiki. Getting it
there by hand means re-deriving the same three things every time: what
each file should be called, where it goes, and whether the page already
exists. Two skills wrap that, along the split the repo already uses.

`skills/page` is domain, offline, stdlib-only, and knows nothing about
Gitea. It imports a directory into a space under `tmp/wiki/`, titles
every file, records the result in `.pages.json`, and writes the index.
`skills/wiki` is the bridge — `wikimap.py` translates, and the transport
is `_gitea.py`, the same one the issue side uses. There is no second
transport, and `tea` has no wiki subcommand to offer one.

The Gitea wiki is flat, and that fact shapes everything

There are no directories. A title of `a/b` is stored as one file named
`a%2Fb.md`, and Gitea escapes it by rules of its own: space becomes `-`,
`/` becomes `%2F`, and a literal `-` forces a trailing `.-` marker so the
two stay distinct. `Chain decisions — DC` under two levels of prefix
comes back as `Simple-Chains%2FParked%2FChain-decisions-%E2%80%94-DC`.

So `sub_url` is the identity, it is read back from whatever the API
returned, and it is never constructed. One built by hand that is almost
right does not fail — it creates a second page and abandons the first.

And a real subdirectory committed into a wiki's git repository is a ghost:
the file exists, the API and the web UI do not see it. `folder/page.md`
in this repo's own wiki is one. Nothing here clones a wiki repo.

A title is a decision, not a derivation

Titles come from the first heading, because there is no mechanical route
from `03-q-01-do-we-know-the-chain-participant-by-name.md` to
`Q-01. Do We Know the Chain Participant by Name`. But they are derived
exactly once. A re-import replaces bodies and keeps titles, so editing a
heading cannot rename a published page — which would not rename it, it
would publish a second one.

`--retitle` opts in. It finds the prior entry by `source` rather than by
path, because the path is derived from the title and a retitle moves it;
looked up by path the page would read as new and the next push would
duplicate it. The old file goes, `sub_url` comes along, and `pushed` is
cleared — a rename can leave the body byte-identical, and push decides by
body hash alone, so a stale hash would skip the rename forever.

Ordering is a `NN-` file-name prefix and never reaches the title. `00-`
means "this is the directory's own page", and that page is named for the
directory, not for its own heading: a child's title has to extend its
parent's exactly, and `ideas/00-intro.md` opens with "Ideas for chain
business requirements".

Path collisions are reported and never resolved. Picking a winner is how
a discussion loses a document.

The index is navigation, not decoration

Nothing draws a tree from flat titles. `page_index.py` writes one as an
ordinary page, nested by title depth rather than by manifest path order —
those disagree, since on disk `Top/System.md` sorts before
`Top/Ideas/Scale.md` while in the hierarchy System is a child and Scale a
grandchild. A parent with no page of its own still gets a node, so its
children are not hidden.

Links use `sub_url` when there is one and Gitea's `[[Title|label]]`
syntax when there is not, so the order is push, rebuild, push.

The same stances as the issue store, for the same reasons

Pull overwrites, push is additive and never deletes, change detection is
one hash and there is no drift model. A page with no `sub_url` has never
been published, and that is a durable state.

Issues gain a `wiki:` field holding page titles — titles, not URLs, so
the reference stays in the domain. It already round-trips as a foreign
key; this documents it.

Verified against a live Gitea 1.26.1: create, update with a message,
unchanged-skip, prefix-filtered pull, byte-identical round trip, and the
per-page revision history carrying the operator's own words. The probe
pages were deleted afterwards.

name: wiki
description: Move wiki pages between a local space and Gitea — fetch a page and everything under it as a local cache, publish a page tree with an update message, list what the wiki holds. Load when the user asks to read/fetch a wiki page, cache a wiki subtree for a discussion, or publish artifacts to the wiki. Organizing artifacts into a page tree (titles, ordering, the index) is /tea:page and needs no network.

# /tea:wiki — the bridge between a local space and a Gitea wiki
One job: translate between `tmp/wiki/<space>/` and Gitea's wiki JSON, and carry
the result over the wire. Everything about **what a page tree is** — titles,
ordering, paths, the index — belongs to `/tea:page` and is imported from there,
never redefined here.
Transport is `tea api` through `skills/sync/scripts/_gitea.py`: the same login
pin, the same pagination, the same payload files. There is no second transport.
## The wiki is flat, and that is the whole design
Gitea's wiki is a list of pages, not a tree. Nesting exists only inside a
title, as `/`, and Gitea escapes that title into a filename by rules that are
its own:
| title | `sub_url` |
|---|---|
| `Abstract Issue` | `Abstract-Issue` |
| `zz-probe/child` | `zz-probe%2Fchild.-` |
| `Simple Chains/Parked/Chain decisions — DC` | `Simple-Chains%2FParked%2FChain-decisions-%E2%80%94-DC` |
**`sub_url` is the identity and is never constructed.** It is read back from
the API and stored in the manifest. Building one by hand that is almost right
does not fail loudly — it creates a second page and abandons the first.
**Never commit a subdirectory into the wiki's git repository.** A real
`folder/page.md` is invisible to the API and to the web UI. It is a ghost file.
Do not clone the wiki repo to work in; use these scripts.
## Scripts
In `<skill-base-dir>/scripts/`.
| Script | What it does |
|---|---|
| `wiki_ls.py [--prefix T]` | what the wiki actually holds — titles, `sub_url`, last commit. One call, no bodies |
| `wiki_pull.py [--prefix T] [--space S]` | fetch a page and everything under it into a local space |
| `wiki_push.py -m MSG [--prefix T] [PATH…]` | publish; create what is new, update what changed, skip what is not |
| `wikimap.py` | md ↔ wiki JSON, pure — not a command |
## Fetching a subtree as a cache
"A page and its children" is a prefix test on the title, run against one
listing call, followed by one GET per page. There is no tree endpoint and no
bulk-body endpoint.
```bash
python3 scripts/wiki_ls.py --prefix "Simple Chains" # what is there
python3 scripts/wiki_pull.py --prefix "Simple Chains" # cache it locally
```
A pull **overwrites** the local body — a fetch, not a merge. `synced` tells you
how old your copy is; re-pull when it matters. Nothing tracks drift.
The space defaults to the repo's own `owner/repo`, so a pull with no flags
caches this repo's whole wiki into `tmp/wiki/<owner>/<repo>/`.
## Publishing
```bash
python3 scripts/wiki_push.py -m "Import the simple-chains discussion" --dry-run
python3 scripts/wiki_push.py -m "Import the simple-chains discussion"
```
`-m` is required and is the wiki commit message — the only record of why a page
changed, and it shows up in `wiki/revisions/<sub_url>`. One operation, one
message.
Change detection is a hash: a page whose file matches `pushed` is skipped.
A page with no `sub_url` is created; one with a `sub_url` is edited in place,
using the title **from the manifest** — sending a different title to the edit
endpoint is a rename and leaves nothing at the old address.
Selection, narrowest first: positional `PATH`-or-`TITLE` arguments (matched
exactly), then `--prefix`, then the whole space.
**Pushing is additive.** A page deleted locally is not deleted in the wiki.
Removing a published page is an explicit act — the web UI, or
`tea api --login "$GITEA_LOGIN" -X DELETE repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/page/<sub_url>`.
## Order of operations for a fresh tree
The index links published pages by `sub_url`, which does not exist until the
first push. So:
```bash
python3 ../page/scripts/page_import.py --from DIR --prefix "Simple Chains"
python3 scripts/wiki_push.py -m "Import the simple-chains discussion"
python3 ../page/scripts/page_index.py --prefix "Simple Chains" # now with real links
python3 scripts/wiki_push.py -m "Index"
```
## Linking an issue to a page
An issue's `wiki:` field holds page **titles**, not URLs — a title is a name for
a document and stays in the domain; the URL is bookkeeping. `wiki_ls.py
--titles` prints them one per line, which is what to paste.
## Endpoints, for when a script is not enough
Reach for `/tea:use` and `tea api` directly only for what has no script — a
delete, or a page's history.
| | |
|---|---|
| list | `GET repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/pages` |
| read | `GET repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/page/{sub_url}` |
| create | `POST repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/new``{title, content_base64, message}` |
| edit | `PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/page/{sub_url}` — same body |
| delete | `DELETE repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/page/{sub_url}` |
| history | `GET repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/revisions/{sub_url}` |
The `tea` CLI has no wiki subcommand. `tea api` is the only route.
