naudachu 01fb5a2703 feat: publish releases with this repository's own SDK code
There is no CI: the instance has no act_runner and none is planned, so releases
are cut by hand. That makes `make check` the only thing standing between a
mistake and the tracker, and it is one command: gofmt, vet, the suite with the
cache defeated, `go mod verify`, a vendored build, and `kettle gen skills
--check`. The last one is the invariant worth having — the plugin's SKILL.md
command reference is generated from the binary's registry, so a flag that
changed cannot ship with documentation that recommends the old one.

`cli/cmd/release` publishes to Gitea using the same SDK the binary already
vendors, which is a pleasing thing to be able to say: nothing third-party
handles the artifacts. It is a second binary rather than a `kettle` subcommand
on purpose — `kettle`'s command tree is what generates the plugin's skills, so a
verb there ships to every operator, and publishing a release is build
infrastructure. It is idempotent end to end: an existing release for the tag is
reused, an asset of the same name is replaced rather than doubled, and a retried
run converges instead of duplicating.

`make release` refuses three things, each with its own message: a dirty working
tree, a TAG that is not what `git describe` reports, and a tag the remote does
not have. A release built from uncommitted code is unreproducible and nobody
finds out until they need to reproduce it.

`kettle version` reports the stamp, the toolchain and the VCS revision. The
default is `dev`, and a hand build says so and means it — a binary out of
somebody's working tree is not a release and must not claim to be one.

# AGENTS.md — internal/config
**Two files: what this project is, and who this machine is.** The only package in
the tree that imports yaml.
| file | what is in it |
|---|---|
| `config.go` | `Project` and `Logins` (the two files), `Resolve`/`ResolveOutsideAProject`/`Require`, `Resolved` with `Complete` and `Redacted`, the `KETTLE_*` overrides, and the 0600 write |
## The split is the whole design
```
<project>/.kettle/config.yaml login: noodles a NAME, never a token
repo: owner/name
~/.config/kettle/logins.yaml logins: [{name, url, user, token}] mode 0600
```
**A token in a file inside a working tree ends up in a commit.** Not always, not
immediately, and not by anyone careless — but a project config is exactly the file
somebody eventually decides to share, and a secret that has ever been pushed has to
be rotated. So the project pins a login by **name**, and the name is worth nothing
on its own, which is what makes it safe to keep in a repository.
Which tokens this computer holds is a fact about the computer, the way which issues
a tree holds is a fact about the tree. `SaveLogins` writes 0600 into a 0700
directory; nothing else on the machine has any business reading it. `$KETTLE_CONFIG_HOME`
relocates it — the test suite sets it, so a run can neither read nor overwrite the
developer's own tokens — and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is honoured too.
**Nothing prints a token.** `Redacted` is what a receipt gets; `kettle config` shows
`(set)`.
## Resolution, and why it fails early
`Resolve` merges three sources — the project config, the machine's login file, and
the environment — into `Resolved`, which is everything the transport needs.
**Every failure names the file it read and the command that fixes it.**
"401 Unauthorized" is what happens when this function is allowed to return a
half-filled struct, and a 401 names nothing an operator can act on.
The same discipline splits the two "missing" answers: a missing `config.yaml` is
`ErrNoConfig`, not an empty config, because "this project has not been told which
tracker it belongs to" and "it belongs to no tracker" are different answers and only
one is fixed by running `init`. A missing login file, by contrast, **is** an empty
list — a machine with no logins yet is an ordinary machine.
`Complete` is that assertion on its own, as a method, because the two questions are
different: `kettle config` wants to **show** a half-filled configuration and
everything that dials wants to **refuse** one. `Require` is `Resolve` plus
`Complete`; [`gitea.New`](../gitea/AGENTS.md) and `cmd/release` call `Complete`
themselves, so a client can never be built from a struct that is missing a field.
`ResolveOutsideAProject` is for the one caller that legitimately stands nowhere near
a project: [`cmd/release`](../../cmd/release/AGENTS.md), run from a fresh clone. The
marker is gitignored, so a clone has none and a build tool must not create one — and
with no marker there is nothing to merge, so the **environment is** the
configuration. A marker that is there is read as always, so the same command run
from a maintainer's own checkout picks up the login pinned in it. Every other caller
wants `Resolve`, where "no project" is the answer rather than a state to work
around: a push that quietly ran against whatever was in the environment would be a
push into somebody else's repository.
`ReadProjectFile` exists for exactly one caller: `kettle init`, which is creating
the marker `LoadProject` walks for, and on a dry run may not have created it at all.
## Overrides
| variable | shadows |
|---|---|
| `KETTLE_LOGIN` | `login:` in the project config |
| `KETTLE_REPO` | `repo:` in the project config |
| `KETTLE_URL` | the login's `url` |
| `KETTLE_TOKEN` | the login's `token` |
| `KETTLE_CONFIG_HOME` | the directory holding `logins.yaml` |
Each wins over the file it shadows. They exist for CI, for a one-off run against
another instance, and for anyone who would rather not have a token on disk at all.
## Unknown keys are an error
Not a silent drop. An older binary reading a newer config would otherwise delete the
setting it did not recognize the next time it wrote the file — which is a data-loss
bug that only shows up on the machine running the older build.
## What does not belong here
A request, a store path, an issue. This package reads and writes two files and
answers "who am I and where am I pointed"; [`gitea`](../gitea/AGENTS.md) takes the
answer and dials, and the paths themselves come from
[`project`](../project/AGENTS.md).
## Keeping this file true
- **Scope:** `config.go` — the two files, their fields, the overrides, the file modes.
- **Update it when** a field is added to either file (both tables above are the
contract), an override is added or renamed, the location or mode of the login file
changes, or the unknown-key policy changes.
- **Do not** move a credential into the project file, and if that ever changes, the
argument above is what has to be answered first.
