 - **GitHub MCP server**: The `ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server` Docker image is GitHub-specific and is skipped on Forgejo.
 - **Commit signing**: SSH signing has not been tested on Forgejo. The `use_commit_signing` option (GitHub API signing) won't work since it uses GitHub's commit API.
 - **`downloadJobLogForWorkflowRun`**: Forgejo's Actions API may lack this endpoint. The CI MCP server attempts it via Octokit REST but may return limited data.
-- **Bot filtering**: `allowed_bots` checks won't match `claude[bot]` since Forgejo has no bot accounts. Bot-type actor validation is skipped on Forgejo, but self-trigger prevention is active — the action blocks events where the actor matches the configured `bot_name` to prevent infinite loops.
+- **Bot filtering**: `allowed_bots` checks won't match `claude[bot]` since Forgejo has no bot accounts. Bot-type actor validation is skipped on Forgejo. Self-trigger prevention only blocks comment/review events (`issue_comment`, `issues`, `pull_request_review`, `pull_request_review_comment`) where the actor matches `bot_name` — these are the events that can cause infinite loops. PR events, workflow_dispatch, and schedule events are allowed through, enabling CI workflows (like upstream-sync) that are triggered by the bot user.
 - **`pull_request_review` trigger is dead code**: Forgejo sends `pull_request_comment` for both review comments and review submissions. The `pull_request_review` trigger in the workflow never fires — all review-related events are handled through the `pull_request_comment` codepath.
 - **Review comment tracking comments are always issue comments**: On Forgejo, review comment events lack the top-level `comment` object needed to create PR review comment replies. The tracking comment is always created as a regular issue comment instead.
 - **Workflow `if:` conditions are unreliable for Forgejo events**: Forgejo does not populate `github.event.comment.body`, `github.event.review.body`, or `github.event.action` in the workflow expression context for several event types. All trigger validation happens in application code (`trigger.ts`), not in workflow conditions.
