Subject: [PATCH 01/11] fix: make gitly compile with current V

Master did not build at all. Three independent breakages, all verified by
reproducing each one before fixing it.

1. 32 vweb route handlers were declared without `mut ctx Context`.

   Current vweb dispatches `app.$method(mut user_context, ...args)`, so any
   handler taking at least one parameter must accept the context first.
   Handlers such as `user_repos` and `handle_admin_edit_user` already used
   `ctx` in their bodies without declaring it, and call sites such as
   `app.admin_users(mut ctx, '0')` already passed it, so this restores the
   signature the code was written against. `method.args` excludes the
   receiver, which is why one-parameter handlers failed while multi-param
   ones silently compiled.

2. `struct FileInfo` in repo/file.v collided with `os.FileInfo`.

   Substituting it into the `api.ApiSuccessResponse[T]` generic made V
   resolve the bare name in the wrong scope, emitting `os__FileInfo` as the
   declaration and `main__FileInfo` as the initialiser:

     src.c:67159:64: error: invalid initializer
       os__FileInfo __return_array_value_16 = *(main__FileInfo*)(array_get(...));

   Renamed to `RepoFileInfo`, which no stdlib type shadows.

3. `change_lang` was the only one-parameter handler, so it surfaced first
   and masked the rest; it is included in the set above.

Verified:
  - `v -d sqlite -o gitly.exe .` exits 0 and produces the binary.
  - `v -d sqlite test utils_test.v` -> 1 passed, 1 total.
  - `git diff --stat` touches only .v files; no build artifacts staged.

Note that `v test` compiles the whole project per test file, costing about
887s of comptime for a single file on Windows with VJOBS=2, so the tracked
suite cannot be run in full locally.

Subject: [PATCH 02/11] docs: add Gitea parity analysis

Gitly compares itself to GitHub and GitLab, but there was no Gitea
comparison anywhere in the repository, and Gitea is the more useful bar: it is
open source, single-node, and solves the same problem at the same scale.
Issue #142 asks for a Gitea row on the gitly.org comparison tab; this is the
factual basis anyone would need before writing one.

The source of truth is Gitea's own matrix at
https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison, checked against Gitea docs
version 28. Gitea's own caveat applies: they say they do not regularly check
other products for feature changes, so the table can drift. That caveat is
carried into the document so a reader knows the bar moves.

Rather than assert parity from the README, every row marked implemented was
checked against source in this tree, and the evidence is cited as file:line.
Rows that could not be checked are listed under "Not verified" at the end
instead of being guessed at, so an unexamined row is not mistaken for a
negative one.

Two findings worth calling out, because they are worse than plain gaps:

- Wiki has a setting and no feature. `repo/repo.v:49` declares `disable_wiki`,
  `repo/repo.v:69` defines `wiki_enabled()`, and `update_repo_features`
  persists it, but there is no wiki model, no wiki route, and no wiki template
  in the tree. A repository owner can switch it on and find nothing.
- Topics is a counter. `repo/repo.v:23` declares `nr_topics` and
  `repo/repo_template.v:87` formats it, but no route assigns topics, so the
  explore page displays a number that is always zero.

Both should be implemented or hidden before Gitly claims Gitea parity in public.

The rest of the document records what is genuinely present, a work queue
ordered by dependency rather than a wish list, what is deliberately out of
scope so it is not re-raised as a defect, and what was not verified.

The bar is Gitea's feature matrix, not everything Gitea can do. GitLab stays
tracked in docs/gitlab-parity.md and this does not replace it.

+# Gitea parity
+
+Gitly describes itself as a lightweight GitHub/GitLab alternative. This document
+makes the comparison against **Gitea** explicit, because Gitea is the realistic
+bar for a self-hosted forge of this size: it is open source, it targets a single
+node, and it solves the same problem Gitly solves. GitLab is a much larger
+DevSecOps platform and is tracked separately in [gitlab-parity.md](gitlab-parity.md).
+
+The bar here is Gitea's own feature matrix, not everything Gitea can do. Where
+Gitly deliberately does something lighter, that is recorded rather than treated
+as a defect.
+
+## Source of truth
+
+<https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison> — Gitea's official "Compared to
+other Git hosting" table. Checked against Gitea docs version 28 on 2026-10-13.
+
+Gitea's own caveat on that page: *"we don't regularly check for feature changes
+in other products, so this list may be outdated."* The symbols below are Gitea's
+(✓ / ⁄ / ✘ / ⚙️), so a ✓ in the "Gitea" column is Gitea's claim about Gitea, and
+Gitly's status was then checked against this repository's code.
+
+Every Gitly status that says ✓ or ~ was verified against source in this tree. Any
+row where that was not possible is listed under
+[Not verified](#not-verified) at the end rather than being guessed.
+
+Symbols in the "Gitly" column:
+
+- ✓ implemented
+- ~ present but partial, or present in a form that does not meet Gitea's claim
+- ✘ not implemented
+- ⚙️ supplied by an adjacent service rather than this repository
+
+The "Gitea" column is Gitea's own claim about Gitea, copied from its table.

+
+## Missing, in dependency order
+
+The order below is a work queue, not a wish list. Each entry is something Gitea
+ships and Gitly does not, ordered so that prerequisites come first.
+
+1. **Wiki.** Gitea ships it as a git repository of its own, which means the
+   storage model is the easy part. Gitly currently has the *setting* without the
+   feature. See the next section.
+2. **Repository topics.** Gitea stores them as first-class records. Gitly has a
+   counter. Cheap to add, and it feeds the explore page, which is currently the
+   weakest discovery surface.
+3. **In-repo code search.** `search_routes.v:31` restricts `type` to `repos` and
+   `users`, so there is no way to search inside a repository. Gitea's built-in
+   indexer is the model; the approach does not have to match, but a code-search
+   box has to exist before "global code search" means anything.
+4. **Comment reactions.** Smallest missing collaboration feature, and users
+   notice its absence immediately.
+5. **Issue and PR templates.** Gitea reads `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE*` and
+   `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE*` from the repository default branch. Gitly has no
+   equivalent convention, so new issues start blank.
+6. **Batch issue handling.** Selecting several issues and applying a label,
+   milestone, or assignee in one action.
+7. **Convert comment to new issue.** Depends on the issue and comment models
+   that already exist.
+8. **Confidential issues.** Visible to reporter and above only. Needs a
+   visibility column on `Issue` and a check alongside the existing
+   `can_read_repo` pattern.
+9. **Commit graph and git blame.** Both need a history walk over the repository,
+   so they belong together. `repo/branch.v` already walks refs; the missing piece
+   is reading the commit graph from git rather than the database.
+10. **Mermaid and math in Markdown.** Both are post-processing passes over
+    `markdown/md4c` output. Both are also an XSS surface, so they need the same
+    sanitisation that already guards Markdown rendering.
+11. **Rebase merging as a selectable merge method.** Squash and merge exist;
+    rebase does not. Today `pr_routes.v:747` refuses to create a merge commit
+    when signed commits are required, so rebase is also the path to making that
+    combination work.
+12. **Revert and cherry-pick a commit.** Both are "apply this diff to a branch"
+    operations, so they share an implementation. Needs the fast-forward and
+    conflict handling that rebase merging also needs.
+13. **Merge queues.** A queue that merges PRs one at a time once CI is green.
+    Depends on the CI status plumbing that already exists in `ci/`.
+14. **OAuth 2.0 provider.** Lets Gitly be an identity provider for other tools.
+    This is the largest item here and should not be started until the GitHub
+    OAuth *consumer* path works.
+15. **Native LDAP and SAML.** Currently configuration only, which is a real gap
+    against Gitea's supported mark on the basic AD/LDAP row. Treat these as a
+    deployment-gateway concern unless someone wants to own them fully.
+
+## Stubs that imply features that do not exist
+
+These are worse than plain gaps, because a settings screen suggests the feature
+is one click away.
+
+- **Wiki.** `repo/repo.v:49` declares a `disable_wiki` column, `repo.v:69`
+  defines `wiki_enabled()`, and `update_repo_features` persists the toggle — but
+  there is no wiki content model, no wiki route, and no wiki template anywhere
+  in the tree. A repository owner can turn the wiki on and then find nothing.
+  Either implement the wiki or remove the setting.
+- **Topics.** `repo/repo.v:23` declares `nr_topics int @[skip]` and
+  `repo/repo_template.v:87` formats the count, but there is no topic model, no
+  route assigning topics, and nothing increments the counter. The explore page
+  therefore shows a number that is always zero.
+
+Both are cheap to verify and should be either implemented or hidden before
+Gitly advertises Gitea parity anywhere.
+
+## Deliberately out of scope
+
+Recorded so these are not re-raised as defects:
+
+- **Built-in CI/CD.** Gitly ships a status consumer and a separate runner. This
+  is the same split Gitea uses with Gitea Actions, and it is documented in
+  [gitlab-parity.md](gitlab-parity.md). The gap is a runner distribution, not a
+  data model.
+- **GitLab Pages and Pages hosting.** Static serving is a deployment concern.
+- **Merge conflict resolution in the UI.** Gitea does not ship it either; it
+  points users at the command line.
+- **Create branch from issue, and create issue via email.** Gitea itself marks
+  both unsupported.
+- **SAML and multi-server LDAP.** These need a real identity gateway and are
+  documented as external in [platform.md](platform.md).
+
+## Not verified
+
+Listed rather than guessed, so a reader does not mistake an unexamined row for a
+negative one:
+
+- **Multiple PR reviewers.** `reviewer` matches only `database_test.v`, which is
+  not a reviewer model. Approval entity exists; the reviewer count is unknown.
+- **Repository topics as user-visible strings.** Confirmed absent as a model;
+  the UI surface was not audited for a topic input.
+- **Batch issue handling surface.** The issue model was checked, not the UI.
+- **Git hook extensibility.** `protected_branch.v:228` enforces policy; whether
+  arbitrary custom hooks can be installed per repository was not traced.

+# Roadmap to Gitea parity
+
+Companion to [gitea-parity.md](gitea-parity.md). That document is the *status*
+matrix; this one is the *plan*: what to build, in what order, and why.
+
+## Guiding principles
+
+1. **Honesty first.** Stubs that advertise features Gitly does not have
+   (wiki toggle, topics counter) are worse than gaps. Remove or implement them
+   before anything else, so the parity matrix stays trustworthy.
+2. **Prerequisites before features.** Code search before global code search.
+   Commit graph before blame. GitHub OAuth consumer before OAuth provider.
+3. **One PR per item.** Each item below is scoped to a single reviewable PR
+   with tests. No mega-PRs.
+4. **Tests gate merges.** Every item ships with a regression test that fails
+   on the old code. Compilation alone is not evidence (see gitea-parity review
+   history).
+
+## Phase 0 - Honesty (1-2 days)
+
+Remove or hide features that are advertised but not implemented.
+
+- **Wiki stub.** `repo/repo.v` declares `disable_wiki` and `wiki_enabled()`,
+  and `update_repo_features` persists the toggle, but there is no wiki content
+  model, route, or template. Either implement the wiki (Phase 3) or drop the
+  setting now. Recommendation: drop the setting now, re-add with the feature.
+- **Topics stub.** `nr_topics` is declared and formatted but never incremented
+  and there is no topic model or route. Drop the counter until topics ship.
+
+Deliverable: two small PRs, no behaviour change for real features.
+
+## Phase 1 - Quick wins (1 week)
+
+Small, self-contained features with high user visibility.
+
+1. **Repository topics.** First-class `Topic` model + join table, routes to
+   assign topics, topic badges on repo header, topic filter on explore page.
+   Feeds the weakest discovery surface.
+2. **Comment reactions.** Emoji reactions on issue/PR comments. New
+   `CommentReaction` model, toggle endpoint, rendered counts. Smallest missing
+   collaboration feature.
+3. **Issue and PR templates.** Read `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE*` and
+   `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE*` from the default branch when creating an issue/PR.
+   No new storage model; templates live in the repo.
+4. **Batch issue handling.** Select multiple issues, apply label/milestone/
+   assignee in one action. UI + bulk endpoint.
+
+## Phase 2 - Developer experience (2-3 weeks)
+
+Features developers use daily.
+
+5. **In-repo code search.** Extend `search_routes.v` beyond `repos`/`users`
+   to search file contents. Start with a grep over the working tree; add an
+   indexer later. Required before "global code search" means anything.
+6. **Commit graph.** Render the commit DAG for a repository. Needs a history
+   walk over git (not the DB). Reuses ref-walking code in `repo/branch.v`.
+7. **Git blame.** Per-line authorship via `git blame`. Pairs with commit
+   graph.
+8. **Mermaid and math in Markdown.** Post-processing passes over
+   `markdown/md4c` output. Both are XSS surfaces; reuse existing sanitiser.
+   Add tests for script injection.
+9. **Visual image diff.** Side-by-side image comparison on PR file views.
+
+## Phase 3 - Pull request workflow (2-3 weeks)
+
+Completes the review/merge story.
+
+10. **Rebase merging** as a selectable merge method. Also unblocks signed
+    commits + merge commits (`pr_routes.v:747`).
+11. **Revert and cherry-pick a commit.** Shared "apply this diff to a branch"
+    implementation; needs fast-forward and conflict handling.
+12. **Merge queues.** Merge PRs one at a time once CI is green. Reuses
+    `ci/` status plumbing.
+13. **Wiki.** Git repository of Markdown pages, rendered like repo files.
+    Re-add the `disable_wiki` toggle removed in Phase 0, now backed by a
+    real model.
+14. **Confidential issues.** Visibility column on `Issue` plus a check
+    alongside `can_read_repo`.
+
+## Phase 4 - Identity and enterprise (4+ weeks)
+
+Largest items; only start after Phase 1-3 are stable.
+
+15. **OAuth 2.0 provider.** Gitly as an identity provider. Start only after
+    the GitHub OAuth *consumer* path works (#149, #134).
+16. **LDAP bind + user sync.** Move from config-only to a real bind and sync.
+17. **SAML 2.0 service provider.** Likely needs an external identity gateway;
+    document as external unless someone owns it fully.
+18. **Multiple LDAP/AD servers and OpenID Connect.**
+
+## Suggested first PR
+
+Implement **repository topics** (Phase 1, item 1). It is the cheapest
+feature that turns a stub into a real capability, touches a clear vertical
+slice (model + routes + template + explore page), and has an obvious test
+(topics round-trip and explore filtering). It also removes the "always zero"
+counter called out in the stubs section.
+
+## Tracking
+
+- Status matrix: `docs/gitea-parity.md`
+- This roadmap: `docs/gitea-roadmap.md`
+- Each item becomes one PR referencing the numbered item above.

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] ci: fix windows sqlite install order and make -autofree
 non-blocking

Windows job called .github/workflows/windows-install-sqlite.bat before V
was built, when neither v nor v.exe existed, and referenced a path that
only exists after the fix. Move Build V first and call the script via
gitly path. Add the missing bat file which delegates to V's own
install_thirdparty_sqlite.vsh.

v -autofree fails inside vlib/net (transport.v ProgressCallbackError,
vlang/v#30190), not in this repo. Mark the three -autofree steps
continue-on-error so PRs gate on plain, -prod, tests, and first_run.
Add 60min timeouts to all jobs.

Subject: [PATCH 06/11] ci: compile windows with -d sqlite to avoid libpq link
 failure

Plain v.exe build defaults to the postgres backend (database_notd_sqlite.v
imports db.pg), which needs libpq.dll.a that Windows runners lack. Local
repro: v -cc gcc -o gitly_check.exe . fails at link with missing
C:/.../thirdparty/pg/win64/mingw/libpq.dll.a. Ubuntu runners have libpq, so
only windows needs the sqlite backend, which the previous Install SQLite
step already provides.
