officer f680e25f82 gitea: the plugin, rendering Gitea's own interface
Eleventh plugin out, and the first that is not a move. The seventeen files that
reimplemented a fraction of Gitea's interface were deleted rather than carried
across — each one a promise to keep pace with a project that moves faster than
this plugin will.

That removed a platform change nobody now has to build. useGiteaLocation read
:owner/:name/:tab/:item from five route patterns and a plugin gets two, so
extracting as-is would have needed the plugin system to declare extra routes.
Nothing inside an iframe needs a route, so the requirement went with the screen.

No regression window: gitea's router had been commented out of hono.ts since
2026-08-13 with api: [], and officer-gitea was running nowhere. The screen
rendered and every request 404'd.

The proxy is what makes the iframe possible, not decoration. Officer and Gitea
are different registrable domains, so a frame pointed straight at the instance
gets a login page whose cookie the browser drops as third-party. Through
Officer's origin it is first-party and survives; X-Frame-Options and CSP are
stripped, safe only because the frame is the origin the browser already
authenticated.

/_web/* forwards the browser's own cookies and injects NOTHING. The sidecar
holds an API token and injecting it there would show every user the owner's
view of every repository. It is used only by /_api/*.

Two doors, because an iframe's sub-resources carry no Authorization header:
the ordinary routes go through the platform's gate, and /_web/* is declared
unauthenticated and authenticates itself with a minted, path-scoped cookie —
32 random bytes against the user who asked, not dev-proxy's constant =1 which
anyone knowing the cookie name can set. Verifying it also sets `user`, because
createSidecarProxy fills X-Officer-User from it and the sidecar refuses a
request without one.

Ships an affordance: git for what git does, tea for pull requests and issues.
Nothing copies it into capabilities/ yet — gitea is that mechanism's first
customer.

1.1 KiB

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.
