Changelog

All notable changes to shithub are documented here. This project follows Keep a Changelog conventions and Semantic Versioning.

Pre-1.0 versioning: minor versions may break the API. The stability contract begins at v1.0.0; until then, expect changes between minor releases.

Unreleased

Added

• REST API contract (S50 §0). GET /api/v1/meta returns the server's version stamp and a list of feature capability strings for client-side feature detection. Every /api/v1/* response now carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, and (when PAT-authenticated) X-OAuth-Scopes. The 403 scope-reject response also carries X-Accepted-OAuth-Scopes. Operators tune the API rate-limit budgets via ratelimit.api.authed_per_hour / ratelimit.api.anon_per_hour (defaults: 5000 / 60).
• Pagination helper internal/web/handlers/api/apipage — emits canonical RFC 8288 Link headers (first/prev/next/last) with absolute URLs rooted at the configured public base URL.
• REST: user emails (S50 §1). GET /api/v1/user/emails lists the authenticated user's emails. Optional ?verified=true|false filter. Scope: user:read.
• REST: user SSH keys (S50 §1). GET/POST /api/v1/user/keys and GET/DELETE /api/v1/user/keys/{id} expose CRUD for git authentication keys. Signing keys are tracked separately by a new kind column on user_ssh_keys and remain on the HTML surface for now. Scopes: user:read for GETs, user:write for mutations.
• Capabilities: user-emails, ssh-keys added to /api/v1/meta response.
• REST: repos core (S50 §2). GET /api/v1/user/repos, GET /api/v1/users/{username}/repos, GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos, GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}, POST /api/v1/user/repos, POST /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos, PATCH /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo} (description, has_issues, has_pulls, archived, visibility), and DELETE /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo} (soft-delete). Visibility-aware listing: a user's /users/{u}/repos shows private rows only to that user; an org's /orgs/{o}/repos shows private rows only to members. Single-repo GETs 404 for callers who can't see the row (no existence leak).
• Capability: repos added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: issues + comments + lock (S50 §3). GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues (with ?state= filter and Link:-header pagination), GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{number}, POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues, PATCH /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{number} (title/body author-gated, state/state_reason policy-gated), GET / POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{number}/comments, PATCH / DELETE /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/comments/{cid}, PUT / DELETE /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{number}/lock.
• REST: repo labels (S50 §3). GET / POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/labels and GET / PATCH / DELETE /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/labels/{name}.
• Capabilities: issues, labels added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: milestones + assignees (S50 §3 follow-up). Full CRUD for /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/milestones (with ?state= filter on list and live open_issues/closed_issues counters on every response), plus GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/assignees (repo owner + collaborators eligible for issue assignment). Scope: repo:read on GETs, repo:write on mutations. Mutations gate on ActionIssueLabel.
• Issue PATCH extensions. PATCH /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{n} now accepts labels, assignees, and milestone fields with GitHub-style full-replace semantics. Each gates on its own policy action (ActionIssueLabel / ActionIssueAssign) so a caller missing one capability gets a clean 403 rather than a partial update. Unknown label names or assignee usernames → 422; cross-repo milestone ids → 422.
• Capabilities: milestones, assignees added to /api/v1/meta.
• Reach: internal/web/handlers/api.resolveAPIRepo now resolves both user-owner and org-owner repos — check-runs and every later batch implicitly gain org-repo support.

Added (internal)

• REST: pull requests core (S50 §4). GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls with ?state= and ?draft= filters, GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}, POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls, PATCH /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number} (title/body author-gated, state via ActionPullClose, draft→ready author-only), GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}/commits, GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}/files, PUT /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}/merge (honoring the repo's default merge method and the optional sha head guard). Reviews + comments + reviewers + update-branch + auto-merge land in a follow-up.
• Capability: pulls added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: PR reviews + inline comments + requested reviewers (S50 §4b). GET / POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}/reviews (events APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES / COMMENT, with pending-draft attachment on submit), GET / POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}/comments (inline review comments with file_path / side / position anchoring, pending drafts, in_reply_to_id threading), and GET / POST / DELETE /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers (by user_id or username).
• Capability: pr-reviews added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: search (S50 §5). GET /api/v1/search/repositories, GET /api/v1/search/issues?type=issue|pr, and GET /api/v1/search/code over the existing FTS corpus. Canonical gh-shaped envelope { total_count, incomplete_results, items } with Link: pagination. Anonymous callers allowed (visibility filter inside the search package narrows to public). ?q= honors the existing operator vocabulary (repo:, is:, state:, author:, phrase). The search/commits and search/users endpoints, plus the sort=/order= knobs, are deferred to follow-ups.
• Capability: search added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: orgs (S50 §7). GET /api/v1/user/orgs (self), GET /api/v1/users/{username}/orgs (public; shithub has no hidden membership distinction in v1), GET /api/v1/orgs/{org} (single fetch; 404 for soft-deleted), GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/members. Scope: user:read.
• Capability: orgs added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: repo webhooks (S50 §8). Full CRUD over a repo's webhook subscriptions: GET/POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/hooks, GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/hooks/{id}. Deliveries read-side: GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/hooks/{id}/deliveries (paginated; Link: headers) and GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/hooks/{id}/deliveries/{did} (full transcript). POST .../deliveries/{did}/redeliver re-enqueues. Scope: repo:write; role floor: settings:general. Webhook secrets are write-only — set on create, rotated via PATCH's secret field, never echoed back. Create-time SSRF gate rejects loopback / private / disallowed-port targets so misconfigurations surface synchronously instead of as silent delivery failures.
• Capability: webhooks added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: branches + tags (S50 §9). Read-only ref enumeration: GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/branches (paginated; each entry carries protected reflecting the longest-prefix match against the configured branch-protection rules, plus is_default), GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/branches/{name} (slashes in branch names accepted verbatim or URL-encoded), and GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/tags (paginated). Scope: repo:read. Empty / uninitialised repos return [] rather than 404.
• Capabilities: branches, tags added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: repo collaborators (S50 §10). GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/collaborators (list), GET .../collaborators/{username} (204 membership probe), GET .../collaborators/{username}/permission (permission level — "none" when not a collaborator), PUT .../collaborators/{username} (add / upgrade, body {"role": "..."} accepting both shithub names and gh-style aliases pull/push), DELETE .../collaborators/{username} (remove). Scope: repo:read on GETs, repo:write on mutations; mutations layer ActionRepoAdmin on top. Refuses (422) to enrol the repo owner.
• Capability: collaborators added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: commits (S50 §11). Read-only git history surface: GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/commits (paginated; honours ?sha=, ?path=, ?author=, ?since=, ?until=) and GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha} (full commit detail with committer/parents/tree + per-file status and additions/deletions, plus a rollup stats object). Backed by internal/repos/git.Log / git.GetCommit — the response stays in lock-step with the bare repository. Scope: repo:read. Empty repos return []; the single-commit GET accepts any unambiguous SHA prefix.
• Capability: commits added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: repo contents (S50 §12). GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/contents/{path}[?ref=] returns either a directory listing (dirs first, then files alphabetically) or a single file with base64-encoded content, encoding, size, and a binary flag (UTF-8 validity check). Files over 1 MiB come back as truncated: true with empty content — clients fall through to the raw download path. Scope: repo:read. Empty /contents path returns the repo root.
• Capability: contents added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: forks (S50 §13). GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/forks (paginated; per-row visibility filter so private forks of public repos only surface to authorized viewers) and POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/forks (fork into the authenticated user's namespace; optional name/visibility body). Reuses the existing internal/repos/fork orchestrator and enqueues the on-disk clone via the repo:fork_clone worker, so the response returns immediately with init_status: "init_pending". Org-target forks land in a follow-up.
• Capability: forks added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: notifications (S50 §14). User-scoped inbox surface: GET /api/v1/notifications (defaults to unread only; ?all=true includes read; paginated with Link: headers), GET /api/v1/notifications/threads/{id} (single fetch with existence-leak-safe cross-user 404), PATCH /api/v1/notifications/threads/{id} (mark read/unread — empty body / unread:false → read; unread:true flips back), and PUT /api/v1/notifications (mark all read). Scopes: user:read on GETs, user:write on mutations. All routes are implicitly scoped to the authenticated user.
• Capability: notifications added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: watching / subscriptions (S50 §15). Per-repo watch-level management mirroring GitHub's /repos/{o}/{r}/subscription shape: GET .../subscribers (paginated watcher list excluding ignore and suspended users), GET .../subscription (viewer's level + explicit flag distinguishing the implicit participating default from an explicit choice), PUT .../subscription (set all / participating / ignore), and DELETE .../subscription (revert to implicit). Reuses internal/social.SetWatch / UnsetWatch and socialdb.ListWatchersForRepo. Scope: repo:read on GETs, user:write on mutations.
• Capability: watching added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: events / activity (S50 §16). Read-only activity feed over domain_events: GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/events (paginated; returns every event for the repo, gated by ActionRepoRead) and GET /api/v1/users/{username}/events (paginated; only public=true rows — matches gh, which never surfaces private-repo activity on a user feed). Scope: repo:read / user:read. Reuses the existing socialdb.ListEventsForRepo and socialdb.ListPublicEventsForActor queries.
• Capability: events added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: followers / following (S50 §17). GET /api/v1/users/{username}/followers and GET /api/v1/users/{username}/following (both paginated; Link: headers), plus the authenticated-user-scoped GET /api/v1/user/following/{target} (204/404 membership probe matching gh), PUT /api/v1/user/following/{target} (follow), and DELETE (unfollow). Self-follow returns 422. Reuses internal/social.FollowUser / UnfollowUser so the follow rate-limit and followed_user domain event stay in one place. Org-follow variants remain on the HTML surface.
• Capability: followers added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: actions workflow runs (S50 §18). Read-only access to the Actions run history: GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runs (paginated; filterable by workflow_file, head_ref, actor, event, status, conclusion), GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runs/{run_id} (single run; existence-leak-safe cross-repo 404), and GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runs/{run_id}/jobs (job-index-ordered jobs list with needs_jobs graph). Reuses the existing actionsdb.ListWorkflowRunsForRepo / GetWorkflowRunByID / ListJobsForRun queries. Scope: repo:read. Lifecycle controls (cancel / rerun / approve) remain on the actions-lifecycle routes; this surface is read-only.
• Capability: actions-runs added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: stargazers + starred lists (S50 §19). GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/stargazers paginates the users who starred a repo (scope: repo:read); private-repo lists are gated by ActionRepoRead. GET /api/v1/users/{username}/starred paginates the repos a user has starred (scope: user:read); cross-user views post-filter private repos the caller can't see. Both endpoints emit standard Link: pagination headers and recency-sort by starred_at DESC. The S26 caller-self star routes (/api/v1/user/starred and /api/v1/user/starred/{o}/{r}) are unchanged.
• Capability: stargazers added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: issue events / timeline (S50 §20). GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/events returns the issue's recorded timeline (every closed / reopened / labeled / unlabeled / milestoned / demilestoned / locked / unlocked / referenced / merged / push event), with actor_username LEFT-joined and the raw event meta payload preserved verbatim. Paginated with the standard Link: headers, sorted oldest-first. Scope: repo:read.
• Capability: issue-events added to /api/v1/meta.
• Device-code login (S50 §1, RFC 8628). POST /login/device/code issues a fresh authorization grant for a non-browser client (CLI / TV / IoT). POST /login/oauth/access_token polls for the user's approval and, on success, mints a PAT bound to the requested scopes. The browser-facing verification page is served at GET /login/device (CSRF-protected). The matching CLI endpoints are CSRF-exempt. client_id is enforced against an allowlist (default: shithub-cli); requested scopes go through the standard pat.ValidScope filter so unknown scopes fail cleanly with invalid_scope. The minted PAT is disclosed exactly once — subsequent exchanges of the same device_code return invalid_grant even after successful approval. RFC 8628 §3.5 error semantics (authorization_pending, slow_down, access_denied, expired_token) are honored.
• Capability: device-code added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: actions workflows + workflow_dispatch (S50 §13 part 1). GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/workflows lists the workflows discovered in .shithub/workflows/ at the repo's default-branch HEAD (or ?ref=); GET .../workflows/{id_or_file} fetches a single workflow by basename, full path, or a deterministic 64-bit hash of the path. POST .../workflows/{file}/dispatches triggers workflow_dispatch with optional ref and a typed inputs map (choice / boolean / string with required/default enforcement, same semantics as the HTML "Run workflow" button). Workflow_dispatch input validation now lives in a shared internal/actions/dispatch package consumed by both the REST and HTML surfaces. Enable/disable knobs are deferred to a follow-up (needs a new workflow_disabled table); every listed workflow is reported as state: "active" for now.
• Capability: actions-workflows added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: actions lifecycle + artifacts + job logs (S50 §13 part 2). New migration 0064_workflow_disabled adds a per-workflow disable knob; trigger.Enqueue now consults it and short-circuits matching events for disabled workflows. The list endpoint surfaces this as "state": "disabled". REST additions: PUT /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/workflows/{file}/enable and .../disable, DELETE /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runs/{run_id} (cascades through jobs/steps/log-chunks/artifacts; object-store cleanup is async best-effort), GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runs/{run_id}/artifacts + GET .../actions/artifacts/{aid} + GET .../actions/artifacts/{aid}/zip (streams from object store) + DELETE .../actions/artifacts/{aid}, GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/jobs/{job_id}/logs (assembled transcript with ##[group]/##[endgroup] step markers).
• Capabilities: actions-artifacts, actions-job-logs added to /api/v1/meta.
• REST: actions secrets + variables (S50 §13 part 3). New internal/auth/sealbox package owns the server's X25519 keypair and exposes NaCl SealedBox decode. Clients fetch the public key via GET /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/secrets/public-key (and the org analog), encrypt the secret value with crypto_box_seal, and PUT the base64 ciphertext + key_id. Server validates key_id, decrypts in memory, then re-encrypts with the shared storage AEAD for at-rest persistence — plaintext never reaches postgres. Secrets CRUD: GET .../secrets, GET .../secrets/{name}, PUT .../secrets/{name}, DELETE .../secrets/{name}. Variables CRUD (plaintext, ${{ vars.NAME }} namespace): GET/POST .../variables, GET/PATCH/DELETE .../variables/{name}. Both surfaces have repo- and org-scoped variants. Operator setup: SHITHUB_ACTIONS__SECRETS__BOX_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 carries the X25519 private key (32 bytes base64); unset means auto-generated-per-process with a loud warning at startup, which is dev-only behavior.
• Capabilities: actions-secrets, actions-variables added to /api/v1/meta.

Added (internal)

• issues.Edit orchestrator wraps UpdateIssueTitleBody with markdown re-render + cross-reference re-indexing. Used by the new PATCH-issue endpoint; available for the HTML edit flow when it lands.

Changed

• JSON error envelope on /api/v1/*. 401 and 403 responses now emit {"error": "..."} with Content-Type: application/json (previously text/plain). Existing 4xx/5xx responses from the handler bodies are unchanged.

0.1.0 — TBD (operator fills in cutover date)

The first public release of shithub. Pre-1.0: there is no backward-compatibility promise yet. Migrations are forward-only; schema may change between minor versions.
