The frame answered {"error":"internal error"} on every request. The cause was
AES-GCM failing with "Unsupported state or unable to authenticate data" — the
token in service_connections was encrypted under a key that no longer exists,
because the platform mints its encryption key on first use and does not back it
up. The same loss took slskd, memos and gitea credentials on this project's own
server earlier today.
It presented as a broken sidecar. connectionState reported `configured: true`
because a ROW exists, so the panel skipped the form and went to the frame,
where every call threw. Nothing offered a way to fix it, and the connection
form was unreachable precisely because it only appears when unconfigured.
Now a named failure. `UnreadableCredentials` is distinguished from every other
error — a database that is down keeps its own message, or a real fault would be
reported as "re-enter your token" — and the panel shows the form saying the key
changed, nothing else is lost, and the URL is still there.
Verified by the platform itself refusing to decrypt: this is the state that
machine has been in all day.
Gitea
Your own Gitea inside Officer — repositories, issues and pull requests, rendered as the real thing rather than a copy of it.
What you get
Gitea's own web interface, in an Officer panel. Not a reimplementation: the actual application, proxied through Officer so it stays signed in, with an open in a new tab button for anything the frame handles badly.
Requirements
A Gitea instance Officer can reach.
Setup
Install the plugin, open /gitea, and set the instance URL and an API token in the connection panel. Then sign in to Gitea inside the frame, once — the frame shows your Gitea account, not the owner's.
The stored token is used only for the small things around the frame. Everything you see in it is your own session.
For agents
This plugin ships an affordance: use plain git for clone, fetch, pull and push; use tea for pull
requests, issues, comments and releases. tea is logged in as you, with your permissions.
Permissions
One permission, gitea, grantable per role like any other app permission. Each account reaches its own
Gitea identity.
