docs(prd): create PRDs #5, #6, #7 for Forgejo hardening [skip ci]

- PRD #5: Dedicated Forgejo user for Claude bot (dedicated identity, scoped token)
- PRD #6: E2E test all 5 untested Forgejo trigger scenarios
- PRD #7: Senior developer review of all Forgejo platform support code
- Defined 5, 7, and 6 milestones respectively
- All three can be parallelized (#7 is read-only, runs alongside #5)

# PRD #5: Dedicated Forgejo User for Claude Bot
**Issue**: [#5](https://git.wxs.ro/actions/claude-code-action/issues/5)
**Priority**: High
**Created**: 2026-02-25
---
## Problem
Claude currently runs under the human operator's personal Forgejo token (`FORGEJO_TOKEN` / `github_token`). This causes:
1. **Attribution confusion**: Commits and comments appear as the human user, not as a bot
2. **Over-privileged access**: The bot inherits all permissions of the human account
3. **Audit trail**: No clear separation between human actions and bot actions in repo history
4. **Security**: If the action is compromised, the human's full token is exposed
On GitHub, this is solved by the GitHub App OIDC token exchange (bot gets its own `claude[bot]` identity). On Forgejo, there's no such mechanism — we need a manual equivalent.
## Solution
Create a dedicated `claude-bot` user on the Forgejo instance (git.wxs.ro), generate a scoped API token for it, and configure the action workflow to use that token. This gives Claude its own identity for commits, comments, and API operations.
## Milestones
### Phase 1: Forgejo Admin Setup
- [ ] **M1: Create dedicated `claude-bot` user on git.wxs.ro**
- Create user via Forgejo admin panel or API (`POST /admin/users`)
- Set appropriate display name (e.g., "Claude Bot")
- Set avatar to distinguish from human users
- User should NOT have admin privileges
- **Validation**: User exists and can log in
- [ ] **M2: Configure bot user permissions and token**
- Add `claude-bot` to the `actions` org (and any other orgs where the action runs)
- Grant `write` permission on repos where Claude needs to operate
- Generate a scoped API token for the bot user with minimal required permissions:
- `repo` (read/write issues, PRs, comments, branches, commits)
- `packages` (if needed for container operations)
- NO admin scope, NO user scope beyond what's needed
- **Validation**: Token can create comments and push branches on a test repo
### Phase 2: Action Configuration
- [ ] **M3: Update workflow to use bot token**
- Store the bot token as a Forgejo Actions secret (e.g., `CLAUDE_BOT_TOKEN`)
- Update `claude.yml` workflow to pass `github_token: ${{ secrets.CLAUDE_BOT_TOKEN }}` instead of the human token
- Update `bot_id` and `bot_name` inputs to match the new Forgejo user's ID and username
- Document the token rotation procedure
- **Validation**: Action runs with bot token, comments appear as `claude-bot`
- [ ] **M4: Verify git commit attribution**
- Ensure `git config user.name` and `user.email` use the bot user's identity
- Verify that `src/github/operations/git-config.ts` correctly picks up the bot user info from the token
- Test that pushed commits show the bot user as author in Forgejo UI
- **Validation**: A tag-mode response that creates a branch shows `claude-bot` as commit author
### Phase 3: Documentation & Hardening
- [ ] **M5: Update documentation and test across repos**
- Update `docs/forgejo.md` with bot user setup instructions
- Document token rotation procedure (tokens expire, need renewal plan)
- Test the bot user setup on at least one additional repo beyond `claude-code-action`
- Update `CLAUDE.md` if any workflow changes affect development
- **Validation**: Another developer can follow the docs to set up the bot user on a new Forgejo instance
## Dependencies
- Forgejo admin access to git.wxs.ro (to create the user)
- Understanding of Forgejo's permission model (org membership, repo access)
## Risks
| Risk | Mitigation |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Token expiration | Document rotation procedure, set long-lived token or calendar reminder |
| Bot user locked out | Keep admin access to reset password/token |
| Permission too narrow | Start with `write` on repos, expand only if needed |
| Bot user confused with human in reviews | Set clear display name and avatar |
## Success Criteria
- All Claude comments and commits on Forgejo repos appear as `claude-bot`, not the human user
- The bot token has minimal scoped permissions (no admin access)
- Documentation allows reproducing the setup on a fresh Forgejo instance
