GITEA-SETUP.md has listed this under "Still to build" since 2026-09-04: `propose-work`, superseding `push-work` -- push the branch AND open the PR with `Closes #N` AND set the label, in one step. Today `push-work` does the first third; the other two thirds being manual is how they get skipped. PROTOCOL.md 145-149 requires all three: * branch `auto/<agent>/<issue#>-<topic>`, one item per branch * open the PR with `Closes #<issue>` in the body * label the issue `state/needs-human` and say, in one line, what to look at Until now those were three things to remember, and PR #20 had to add a warning to `port-loop.md` about the two that get forgotten. A rule enforced by memory decays; this makes the sequence structural. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO is reimplement push-work's refusals -- it CALLS push-work, so `main`, shared branches and force-push stay refused in exactly one place. Duplicating them would let the copies drift, and the copy that drifts is the one that matters. Three design choices worth stating: * THE ISSUE NUMBER IS DERIVED FROM THE BRANCH NAME, which PROTOCOL already specifies as `auto/<agent>/<issue#>-<topic>`. So a PR cannot cite a different issue than the branch was cut for -- a mismatch no reviewer would catch. `-i` overrides. * `-m` IS MANDATORY. PROTOCOL says an issue in `state/needs-human` must say what to look at and what pass and fail look like, "so a person can judge it in under a minute". Refusing without that line is cheaper than letting the label carry an empty promise and costing a human a round trip. * IT MOVES THE LABEL RATHER THAN ADDING IT -- other `state/*` labels are removed. Leaving `state/in-progress` attached makes the board lie about what is waiting on a person. The token is read from a file and handed to curl through a `--config` document on stdin: never an argument, never exported. Arguments are world-readable in /proc and this token can push. Verified that the mechanism actually delivers the header rather than silently dropping it -- with a bogus token the API answers "invalid username, password or token", while the same URL with no header returns the list anonymously, so the header is demonstrably being read. Also verified: issue derived from the branch (#42 from `auto/decoder/42-widget-census`), refusal without `-m`, refusal when the branch carries no number, `--dry-run` sends nothing, and repo/API derivation from the remote. `--dry-run` deliberately does NOT require a credential -- it exists so an agent can check the command it is about to run, and demanding a token it never sends would make the check unavailable exactly where it is cheapest. Identical in both agents' bin/ on purpose: the agent name comes from the branch, so there is nothing per-agent to diverge. UNVERIFIED, and stated as such: no end-to-end run. That needs a real token and a real issue, which this desktop does not have -- it is the second machine, and the agent credentials live on the agent box. Everything above the network call is exercised; the POSTs are not. Refs #11 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
