feat(app): gclo opens one window per data folder, and a second start brings the open one to the front (#217)

Two windows on one data folder each kept their own copy of the settings and
accounts, and the one that saved last undid what the other had saved. The
owner's decision (#216): one window per data folder.

- WindowClaim (gclo.ViewModels): a window holds window.lock in its data
  folder while it is open, shared with nobody. Windows gives it up when the
  process ends, however it ends. A folder that cannot be written to holds no
  claim and stops no window from opening.
- A second start finds the claim, asks the open window to come to the front
  through an event named after the folder, and ends before any window or
  file of its own exists. The open window comes out of the taskbar and
  before the other windows.
- The claim is given up first thing when the window closes, so a start right
  after closing opens a window of its own.
- Another data folder is another claim: the dev channel beside the stable
  one, and GCLO_DATA_DIR. The command line makes no claim.
- README, threat model (review log), CLAUDE.md.

Included, from the review of this pull request:
- fix(app): the claim on the data folder never stops a start, and is given up when no window came of it

Closes #216

-Line coverage must stay at 100% on `gclo.Engine`, `gclo.ViewModels`, and `gclo` (the
-CLI). Tests stay offline (fakes in `gclo.Engine.Tests/Fakes.cs`; the UI suite uses the
-`GCLO_UITEST_FIXTURE` seam).
+One class or one test (xunit 2, VSTest filter):
+
+```powershell
+dotnet test gclo.Engine.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~OrgSyncEngineTests"
+dotnet test gclo.Cli.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SyncCommandTests.<MethodName>"
+```
+
+- The engine, view models, CLI, and their tests need only the .NET 10 SDK (`global.json`);
+  the app needs the Windows App SDK / WinUI workload. Run the CLI from source with
+  `dotnet run --project gclo.Cli -- <command>`.
+- The app is always built unpackaged and self-contained: `gclo.csproj` fixes
+  `WindowsPackageType=None` and `WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=true`, so the
+  `-p:WindowsPackageType=None` seen in older docs and CI is a no-op. Do not add APIs
+  that need package identity.
+- CI also runs PSScriptAnalyzer over `packaging/chocolatey/tools`.
+- Git hooks: `pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type commit-msg` (secrets,
+  workflow lint, format gate, Conventional Commit header, DCO sign-off, no commit to `main`).
+
+### Local build traps
+
+- **CRLF working tree breaks the build.** Text is LF (`.gitattributes`, `.editorconfig`).
+  A checkout whose `.cs` files are CRLF (`git ls-files --eol` shows `w/crlf`) fails with
+  `IDE0055: Fix formatting` on multi-line expressions. A fresh `git worktree` checks out
+  LF. Edits from scripts must not re-introduce CRLF; a new file written by a Windows
+  tool is CRLF until it is checked out again from the index.
+- **Lock files and the SDK.** `Directory.Build.targets` pins the implicit
+  `Microsoft.NET.ILLink.Tasks` package (the single-file analyzer), which would
+  otherwise follow the installed SDK patch and break the locked restore on every SDK
+  update. Keep the pin at the version bundled with the SDK named in `global.json`,
+  never newer. A restore that still rewrites `packages.lock.json` means a real
+  dependency change: commit it deliberately or revert it.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `gclo.Engine.Tests` covers **both** `gclo.Engine` and `gclo.ViewModels`;
+  `gclo.Cli.Tests` covers the CLI, whose assembly is named `gclo` (it ships as
+  `gclo.exe`), so it appears as package `gclo` in coverage reports.
+- Line coverage must stay at **100%** on those three assemblies (`coverage.runsettings`
+  scopes it; the CI gate reads the cobertura reports). The only exclusions are
+  source-generated code and types marked `[ExcludeFromCodeCoverage(Justification = ...)]`:
+  the thin adapters over things that cannot run offline (`LibGit2GitClient`,
+  `OctokitGateway`, `ProcessRunner`) and the CLI composition roots. Do not widen that
+  set to pass the gate; put logic behind a seam and test it.
+- Tests stay offline: fakes in `gclo.Engine.Tests/Fakes.cs`, real on-disk git fixtures
+  via `GitTestHelpers` (Windows-invalid tree entries are forged through the object
+  database), console capture in `gclo.Cli.Tests/CliTestSupport.cs`. No network, no real
+  tokens.
+- `gclo.UiTests` drives the built `gclo.exe` out of process with FlaUI/UIA and needs an
+  interactive desktop. It has no project reference to the app: build the app first, or
+  set `GCLO_UITEST_EXE`. Each session launches with a temp `GCLO_DATA_DIR` and
+  `GCLO_UITEST_FIXTURE=1`; all tests run sequentially in shared-session collections
+  (`[Collection(nameof(UiSessionTests))]`, which xunit does not inherit from the base
+  class). Elements are found by `AutomationId`. The suite needs the desktop to itself:
+  runs made while someone uses the machine time out in unrelated tests. Under the
+  fixture the app opens no email program and leaves the clipboard alone, because
+  both belong to the machine the suite runs on.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+gclo (WinUI 3 shell) ─┐
+                      ├─> gclo.ViewModels ─> gclo.Engine ─> Octokit, LibGit2Sharp
+gclo.Cli (gclo.exe) ──┘
+```
+
+Flat layout, no `src/` or `tests/` (ADR 0005). `gclo.Engine` + `gclo.ViewModels`
+together are the "Core": all logic lives there, under the coverage gate.
+
+- **`gclo.Engine`** is a published NuGet library, so its public surface and namespace
+  are a compatibility contract, every public member is documented (CS1591 is on), and
+  `ConfigureAwait(false)` is required (MA0004 is an error here only). `OrgSyncEngine`
+  takes an `IRepositoryLister` and an `IGitClient`, resolves every target folder
+  through `RepositoryPathResolver` (a repo name must be exactly one safe path segment),
+  then runs the set through `Parallel.ForEachAsync`. **Per-repo failure isolation is
+  exception-based**: the loop body catches everything except cancellation, so each repo
+  ends in exactly one terminal `SyncStatus` (Done, Failed, Canceled) reported through
+  `IProgress<RepoProgress>`. Pulls are fast-forward only.
+- **GitHub access** is layered: `GitHubRepositoryLister` / `GitHubOrganizationLister`
+  (paging and translation of Octokit exceptions into `GitHubAccessException`, which is
+  the tested logic) over the internal `IGitHubGateway` seam, implemented by the
+  uncovered `OctokitGateway`.
+- **Windows-invalid paths**: `LibGit2GitClient` validates the incoming tree with
+  `WindowsPathValidator` *before* checkout. On a hit it throws
+  `InvalidRepositoryPathsException`, keeps the fetched `.git`, and leaves a
+  pending-checkout marker inside it so a partial tree is never taken for up to date.
+  `IGitClient.ApplyRecoveryAsync` then materializes the tree with a `PathRecovery`
+  (renames and skips), which is persisted and re-applied on later pulls. `WslCloner`
+  (over `IProcessRunner`) is the alternative recovery.
+- **`gclo.ViewModels`** is UI-framework-free (CommunityToolkit.Mvvm, partial-property
+  form). `WorkspaceViewModel` is one workspace (Quick Sync or a saved account): load,
+  filter and select, sync, retry, path recovery. Quick Sync's place (GitHub, or a
+  Gitea server) is chosen on its card: no place is preselected, a token is sent
+  only when the user presses Find or Load and only to the listers of the place
+  on the card, and choosing another place forgets the token, the organization
+  and the table (ADR 0010). `StartWorkspace` picks the workspace the app opens on. Engine progress reaches it through
+  `BatchedRepoProgress` (a few deliveries a second, the latest report per repository;
+  one dispatcher callback per report froze the window on large runs). The table the
+  view binds is `FilteredRepos`, kept in order row by row (`PlaceInTable`,
+  `CompareForTable`): the user's column, or the default order that follows a sync
+  (in flight, failed, finished latest first, waiting; idle: failed, then by name).
+  `TableOrderTests` states that rule independently; change both together.
+  `SyncAllCoordinator` runs account workspaces one at a time and drives
+  `SyncAllStatus`, which the shell shows above the workspace.
+  `ResponsivenessMonitor` writes to the activity log when the window did not respond.
+  `ShareInvitation` builds the Help > Share email. Persistence also lives here: `GcloPaths.DataRoot` is the
+  single seam for per-user data (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\KofTwentyTwo\gclo`, overridden by
+  `GCLO_DATA_DIR`, and deliberately not the Velopack install root, which Setup.exe
+  deletes); `AppSettings` → `settings.json`; `AccountsStore` → `accounts.json`
+  for GitHub accounts and `accounts-forges.json` for the others (an older gclo
+  rewrites the first with the fields it knows, so an account on another forge is
+  never put there; ADR 0010), metadata only, with tokens in an `ITokenVault`
+  (`CredentialManagerVault`, or `InMemoryVault`). The file and the vault have no shared transaction, so every
+  operation touching both has a fixed order and a compensating step: keep that when
+  changing `AccountsStore`.
+- **`gclo.Cli`**: `Program` dispatches to `SyncCommand`, `ReposCommand`, `OrgsCommand`,
+  `AccountsCommand`. Each has a thin public entry that wires the real collaborators
+  (excluded from coverage) and an `internal` core that takes them as parameters, which
+  is what the tests call. Exit codes are in `ExitCodes` and documented in `docs/CLI.md`.
+  JSON output goes through source-generated contexts (`CliJsonContext`), so a new
+  serialized type must be registered there.
+- **`gclo`** (the app) holds XAML, dialogs, pickers, and update plumbing only.
+  `MainWindow.xaml.cs` is the composition root: it builds the vault, the store, and
+  every `WorkspaceViewModel`, wrapping the real listers and git client in
+  `UiTestFixture`, which answers from a fixed offline organization only when
+  `GCLO_UITEST_FIXTURE=1` **and** the token is the fixture's magic token. `Program.cs`
+  replaces the XAML-generated `Main` so `VelopackApp.Build().Run()` executes first, and
+  ends at once when another window holds the data folder (`WindowClaim` in
+  `gclo.ViewModels`: one window per data folder, the open one is asked to come to
+  the front), and
+  switches `GcloPaths.Edition` to `dev` for the `gclo-dev` app id (the dev channel
+  installs beside stable with its own data root). `ImplicitUsings` is off in this
+  project only. Handlers and `x:Bind` targets look unused to analyzers; the relaxations
+  in `.editorconfig` for `gclo/**.cs` exist so `dotnet format` does not delete them.
+- **Releases** are tag-driven (`v*`) through the standards' shared Velopack workflow:
+  see `docs/RELEASING.md`. `bucket/gclo.json` (this repo is its own Scoop bucket) and
+  `packaging/chocolatey` are regenerated by the release's `packages` job.

Failed clones are cleaned up, and a clone whose checkout never finished (a crash, a kill, a cleanup that could not delete the folder) is flagged inside its `.git`, so a partial working tree is never mistaken for an up-to-date repo on the next run — gclo completes the checkout instead. Repositories with Windows-impossible paths are the deliberate exception: gclo checks every path in the incoming tree against Windows file-system rules *before* checkout — invalid characters, reserved device names like `CON`, trailing spaces or dots, names that differ only by case — and when it finds any, the repo is marked Failed with a per-path list of reasons, but the fully fetched `.git` is **kept** (nothing was ever checked out). Recovery happens in place, with no re-download: click the row's **Resolve…** link to rename each offending path (safe names are pre-suggested) or skip it, and gclo materializes the working tree right there; the CLI does the same automatically with [`--sanitize-paths`](docs/CLI.md#windows-invalid-paths-and---sanitize-paths). When WSL is installed with git in its default distribution, the same dialog offers **Clone in WSL instead**: the repository is cloned unchanged into `~/gclo/<org>/<repo>` inside WSL (reachable from Explorer as `\wsl.localhost\<distro>\home\...`), the token travels only through the environment, and the Windows copy is left as it is. Long paths beyond the classic 260-character limit are handled automatically (`core.longpaths`).
+**When something goes wrong:** failures are isolated per repository — one broken repo never stops the rest, and a failed row shows its error message inline. Failed clones are cleaned up, and a clone whose checkout never finished (a crash, a kill, a cleanup that could not delete the folder) is flagged inside its `.git`, so a partial working tree is never mistaken for an up-to-date repo on the next run — gclo completes the checkout instead. What it completes is its own. On Windows, a file that is already where the repository has one is replaced only when it is what the unfinished checkout wrote there (its content, or the beginning of it, line endings aside); for anything else the row fails and names the file: move it and sync again. The same check guards a repository that was empty when it was cloned and gets its first files later. Such a clone follows the origin's default branch when nothing has been put into its folder (otherwise it keeps the branch its HEAD names, and stays empty until origin has that branch); a clone that has branches of its own is left as it is when its HEAD names a branch without commits (a branch you started there yourself). If you have worked in an unfinished clone with git in the meantime, gclo finishes it only when every file there is still the repository's own and nothing you added with `git add` would be removed; otherwise the row fails and names the file. While a canceled clone or update is still ending, syncing that repository again fails with a message to try again when it has finished. Repositories with Windows-impossible paths are the deliberate exception: gclo checks every path in the incoming tree against Windows file-system rules *before* checkout — invalid characters, reserved device names like `CON`, trailing spaces or dots, names that differ only by case — and when it finds any, the repo is marked Failed with a per-path list of reasons, but the fully fetched `.git` is **kept** (nothing was ever checked out).

This applies to a repository gclo could not check out when it cloned it. A repository that was already checked out normally is never rewritten: when an update brings it such a path, it fails and nothing in it is changed, and **Resolve…** (or `--sanitize-paths`) then says how to get a fresh clone with the renames instead of touching it. When WSL is installed with git in its default distribution, the same dialog offers **Clone in WSL instead**: the repository is cloned unchanged into `~/gclo/<org>/<repo>` inside WSL (reachable from Explorer as `\wsl.localhost\<distro>\home\...`), the token travels only through the environment, and the Windows copy is left as it is.

 ### Saved accounts
 
-Quick Sync is ad-hoc — nothing is saved. For organizations you sync regularly, **Add account** stores a reusable profile: a name, the organization, target folder, and parallelism, with the token kept in the Windows Credential Manager (never in a file). Each account gets its own entry in the navigation pane and its own workspace; **Sync all** runs every saved account in turn, and the pane shows each account's live status.
+Quick Sync is ad-hoc — no token is saved. Once a connection has loaded its repositories, a bar above the table offers **Save as account…**. For organizations you sync regularly, **Add account** stores a reusable profile: a name, where the repositories are, the organization, target folder, and parallelism, with the token kept in the Windows Credential Manager (never in a file). The first step asks where the repositories are: **GitHub** or **Gitea**, and for Gitea the address of the server (HTTPS only; a Forgejo server works the same way). The token of the next step is checked with that place and sent nowhere else, and an account stays on the place it was added for: to move one, delete it and add it again. Each account gets its own entry in the navigation pane and its own workspace; **Sync all** runs every saved account in turn. A status bar above the workspace is there for the whole pass, whichever workspace is on screen: it says which account is syncing, which of how many, and how far along it is, takes you to that account, and holds the result when the pass is over. The pane shows each account's live status as well. **Cancel sync all** stops the pass after the account that is syncing, and the result says how many accounts were not started. An account that could not be synced (it has no token, or its repositories could not be loaded) is marked in the pane and counted as needing attention, so a pass in which it was left out does not read as a success. An account's token is changed with **Edit account…** on the account's page (**Edit…** in the pane's menu); the token box on an account's page takes no input. Sync all syncs the repositories each account's page lists: **Refresh** on that page picks up repositories created since it was loaded.

 ## How it works
 
-The engine lists every repository through the GitHub REST API (Octokit, paginated 100 per page), then runs the set through `Parallel.ForEachAsync` bounded by the parallelism setting. Git operations use LibGit2Sharp: missing repos are cloned with object-transfer progress; existing repos get a fetch from `origin` followed by a **fast-forward-only** merge — if a local branch has diverged from its upstream, the repo is reported Failed rather than auto-merged, so gclo never manufactures merge commits. Archived repositories are included and sync normally. Every repo ends in exactly one terminal state — Done, Failed (with the error), or Canceled — and per-repo exceptions are contained so the rest of the run continues. The PAT is the only credential; on the git side it is sent as HTTPS basic credentials with username `x-access-token`.

An existing folder is only updated when its `origin` is the repository gclo listed: a same-named folder that is a clone of something else (a fork, another owner's repository, another host) is reported Failed and left untouched. A repository that was renamed or moved to another owner looks the same to gclo; the failure message gives the `git remote set-url` command that points the folder at its new URL. Archived repositories are included and sync normally. Every repo ends in exactly one terminal state — Done, Failed (with the error), or Canceled — and per-repo exceptions are contained so the rest of the run continues. The PAT is the only credential; on the git side it is sent as HTTPS basic credentials with username `x-access-token`, and only to the host the repository was listed on.

+  release (Scoop would see it, and stable installs would be offered nothing newer
+  because their feed file is not in it). A stable release copied with the flag is
+  invisible to stable installs.
+- **Before the package manifests are written.** `Update-PackageManifests.ps1`
+  downloads the CLI zip from git.kof22.com and refuses to write a manifest when it
+  does not answer or is not, by its SHA-256, the file that was built; so the
+  `packages` job fails until the copy is done and right. Run it again afterwards.
+- **winget by hand.** The workflow's winget step would submit the download on
+  GitHub, so it stays switched off ("First winget submission"); a version is
+  submitted to winget by hand, with the URL on git.kof22.com.
+- **No more than nine prereleases newer than the latest stable release.** The
+  updater reads the ten newest releases and picks by channel; a longer run of betas
+  hides the stable release from stable installs. Delete old prereleases.
+- **From the network the users are on.** Check the release page and one download

+# 0009. Updates and release downloads come from the project's Gitea server
+
+- Status: accepted
+- Date: 2026-11-10
+- Amends: [0001](0001-velopack-for-install-and-update.md) (the update feed), [0003](0003-repository-as-scoop-bucket.md) (where the bucket and its downloads are)
+
+## Context
+
+The project's home moved from GitHub to `git.kof22.com` (#165): source, issues, and
+the releases with their assets. GitHub keeps a read-only copy. ADR 0001 chose
+Velopack with GitHub Releases as the update feed, and the Scoop and Chocolatey
+manifests download from GitHub Releases. Left as they were, the app would look for
+updates in a place where new releases no longer appear, and the package managers
+would install an old version for ever.
+
+## Decision
+
+- The in-app updater reads the releases of `https://git.kof22.com/KofTwentyTwo/gclo`
+  through Velopack's `GiteaSource`, anonymously. The repository is public; no token
+  is built into the app.
+- The Scoop manifest (homepage, download URL, version check, auto-update) and the
+  Chocolatey package (download URL, release notes link) name the same server. The
+  script that regenerates them for a release writes those URLs.
+- A release is complete only when its assets, including `releases.<channel>.json`
+  and `SHA256SUMS`, are attached to the release on `git.kof22.com`. Where the
+  release is built is a separate matter (see Consequences).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Versions up to 1.1.0 look for updates on GitHub. They find a later version only
+  if it is also published there; otherwise they are updated once by hand. From
+  1.2.0 on the app looks on `git.kof22.com` (the change was made for a 1.1.1
+  that was not released on its own; it ships in 1.2.0).
+- The availability and the integrity of updates now rest on a self-hosted server
+  instead of GitHub's release hosting. The updater verifies a package against the
+  hash in the feed, and the feed comes from the same server; it checks no signature
+  and no attestation (it never did). Whoever can publish a release on that server,
+  or holds its TLS certificate or DNS, can therefore deliver an update that installs
+  without a warning. Authenticode signing (ADR 0008) protects a download a person
+  runs, not an update the app applies. The threat model's T1 says the same and is
+  marked accepted, not mitigated.
+- The server must be reachable from wherever the app runs. An app outside the
+  network that can reach `git.kof22.com` reports that it could not check for
+  updates, and Scoop cannot add the bucket.
+- Velopack reads the ten newest releases of any kind and then picks by channel.
+  More than nine prereleases published after the latest stable release would hide
+  that release from stable installs. Keep fewer, or delete old prereleases.
+- Build-provenance attestations are a GitHub feature. While releases are still
+  built by the GitHub workflow and copied over, they exist and are verified against
+  GitHub as the README describes; a release built on Gitea needs another answer.
+- The release workflow itself (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) publishes to GitHub
+  today. Until a pipeline on Gitea exists, publishing a release includes copying its
+  assets to the Gitea release. That step is part of the release procedure, not of
+  this decision.
+- Anonymous requests to the server are subject to its own rate limits; the updater
+  asks once at startup and when the user asks.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep the update feed on GitHub.** Rejected: the owner's decision is that
+  everything a user touches comes from the project's own server, and a feed on a
+  read-only copy would silently stop offering updates the day the copy stops being
+  fed.
+- **A plain web folder (`SimpleWebSource`).** Rejected: Gitea's release pages are
+  already there, and a second place to publish to is a second place to forget.

+# 0010. Forges beside GitHub: Gitea servers at an address the user names
+
+- Status: accepted
+- Date: 2026-11-11
+- Issues: #201 (the feature), #202 (the engine, this decision's first use)
+
+## Context
+
+gclo lists and clones the repositories of a GitHub organization or account. The
+project itself now lives on a Gitea server, and so do the repositories of people
+who want to mirror theirs. Gitea (and Forgejo, which speaks the same API) differs
+from GitHub in one way that matters for security: there is no one well-known host.
+The server is at an address a user types. That address decides where the account's
+token is sent.
+
+The engine already had the right seams: `IRepositoryLister`, `IOrganizationLister`
+and `IGitClient` say nothing about GitHub, and since #139 the git client gives the
+token only to the host of the clone address it was handed. What was GitHub-specific
+were the two lister implementations and the failure type they throw.
+
+## Decision
+
+- **A forge is a pair of listers.** `GiteaRepositoryLister` and
+  `GiteaOrganizationLister` implement the existing interfaces and are constructed
+  with the server's address. `ForgeKind` names the kinds (`GitHub`, `Gitea`). The
+  sync engine, the path recovery and the git client are not changed.
+- **One failure type.** `ForgeAccessException` with `ForgeAccessKind` is what a
+  failed request to any forge is translated into. `GitHubAccessException` now
+  derives from it and keeps its own `Kind`, so code written against it still
+  compiles and still catches.
+- **No new dependency.** The Gitea API is called with `HttpClient` and read with
+  source-generated `System.Text.Json`. Both are tested offline through a fake
+  message handler, so none of it is excluded from the coverage gate.
+- **The address of a server** (`GiteaServerUrl`) is HTTPS, has no user name or
+  password in it, and nothing after its path. A host typed without a scheme is
+  taken as HTTPS; text that has a scheme-like beginning and is not an address
+  (`https:/host` with one slash) is refused instead of being taken for a host.
+  `http://` is refused, and there is no setting that allows it. An address that
+  is refused is not repeated in the message: it may have been refused for the
+  password or token in it.
+- **Certificates are validated by the platform, and that cannot be switched off.**
+  A server with a certificate from a private authority works once Windows trusts
+  that authority.
+- **The token goes to the account's server and nowhere else.**
+  - Every API request is made to the configured address, with the token in the
+    `Authorization` header. Redirects are not followed; a redirect is reported as
+    "this is not the server's own address".
+  - The address of a next page is never taken from the server (`Link` headers are
+    read only for "is there a next page", and only their paging relations).
+  - Nothing a server sets is kept: the one client all accounts share uses no
+    cookies.
+  - Clone addresses are built from the configured address, the owner and the
+    repository name. The `clone_url` in the server's answers is not read. So the
+    host that gets the token for a clone is the host the account names, whatever
+    the server's own idea of its address is.
+- **What a server sends is bounded**: the size of an answer, the number of pages of
+  a list and of items on a page (so a list has at most 100,000 items), and the
+  time of a request, the reading of its answer included. A server's own words
+  reach a message only as the reason of a refusal, on one line and cut to a length.
+- **Paging follows what the server says**, not the size of a page: a Gitea server
+  caps the page size, and leaves out of a page what the token may not see, so a
+  short or empty page does not end a list. Where a server sends no `Link` header,
+  an empty page does.
+- **An account that is not an organization** is listed as on GitHub: the token's
+  own account gets its own repositories, another account the ones the token can see
+  there. From the list of the token's own repositories only those the account owns
+  are taken; that list also holds repositories of others the token may work on.
+  A token that may not read organizations is refused at an organization's list
+  whatever the name is; the account path is tried then as well, so such a token
+  still lists its own account.
+
+### Accounts and the command line (#204)
+
+- **An account names its forge and, for Gitea, its server.** Both are left out
+  when they are the default, so a GitHub account is written as it always was.
+- **Accounts on another forge are kept in a file of their own**
+  (`accounts-forges.json`, beside `accounts.json`, under the same lock). A version
+  from before forges reads every account in `accounts.json` as a GitHub account
+  and writes the file back with the fields it knows. It would drop the forge and
+  the server of a Gitea account, and from then on that account would read as a
+  GitHub account in every version: its token would be asked for again and sent to
+  GitHub. Two versions on one data folder are ordinary (the app updates itself,
+  the command line is a separate download), so such accounts are kept where the
+  older version neither reads nor writes. A GitHub account is the one that names
+  no forge, and only that one; a record in the second file that names none is not
+  read as a GitHub account (gclo writes no such record; one that is found is
+  given an empty forge name, which no version knows, and is written back so). The cost is two files where there was one. A change
+  itself writes only the file of the account it changes; a file that has to be put
+  back, or an account that is in the wrong file, is written before the change, so
+  that when it cannot be written the change fails with nothing changed and the
+  vault untouched. A name is unique across both files, but an older version does
+  not see the second and can add a GitHub account with the name of a Gitea
+  account: the command line then refuses the name instead of choosing one of the
+  two, until one is renamed in the app.
+- **What this version does not know is kept.** The kind of forge is stored as
+  text; a name this version does not know (a later version's forge) makes that
+  one account unusable here, not the file unreadable, and is written back as it
+  was. Fields this version does not know are written back as they were read,
+  whoever built the record that is saved. So this version does not do to a later
+  one what an older one would do to it. The limits a later version has to keep
+  to: a field this version knows keeps its JSON type (text where text is, as for
+  `Forge`; another type makes the file unreadable here), and a new field is not
+  named like one of this version's computed properties.
+- **A token stays with the place it was saved for.** The forge and the server of
+  an account are set when it is added and cannot be changed by an edit, in the
+  app or on the command line: to move an account, it is removed and added again,
+  and its token is entered for the new place. `gclo sync --account` takes no
+  `--forge` or `--server`.
+- **A token is found only by the account and the place it was saved for.** The
+  vault entry of a GitHub account is its id, as ever. For another forge it is made
+  from the id, the forge and the server address exactly as the file states them
+  (a hash). `AccountsStore.Save` refuses a change of place; this makes the same
+  hold for a file changed by hand: at another address the account has no token.
+  The price: a token whose account was edited that way stays in Credential Manager
+  under a name gclo no longer derives, until the address is put back.
+- **Tokens do not cross places by default.** A default token saved in Settings
+  belongs to one place (GitHub, or one Gitea server) and is never handed to an
+  account on another, whatever its record says: see "A default token per place"
+  below. On the command line each forge has its own default variable
+  (`GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GITEA_TOKEN`).
+- **One place pairs an account with its listers** (`AccountListers`, over
+  `ForgeEndpoint`), used by the app and the command line. An account whose stored
+  forge or server cannot be used (a file edited by hand) gets listers that ask no
+  server anything and fail with the reason.
+
+### The desktop app's wizard (#206)
+
+- **The place is asked first, on step 1, for a new account only.** GitHub is the
+  default; a Gitea server needs its address, which is checked by the same rule as
+  on the command line (`ForgeEndpoint.TryCreate`). Step 2 names the address as it
+  was normalized, in full, where the token is asked for: that is the address the
+  token goes to. An edit shows where the
+  account is and that it stays there. A Quick Sync connection saved as an account
+  is an account on the place the connection was on (#209).
+- **The wizard has the lister of one place at a time.** The shell gives it a
+  lister per place; step 1 takes the lister of the place that was chosen, and step
+  2 has no other to send the token to. A wizard that was given one lister (an
+  edit, a saved Quick Sync connection) offers no choice.
+- **What was entered for one place is not carried to another.** When step 1 is
+  left with another place than before, the typed token, the organization and the
+  list of organizations are emptied, and the default token on offer is the one
+  saved for the new place, if there is one (#212).
+- **Texts follow the place.** The page a token is made on is the one of the
+  chosen place (`ForgeTexts`); step 2 names the place the token is checked with.
+
+### Quick Sync and the start screen (#209)
+
+GitHub and Gitea are equal options wherever the app asks for a place, with the
+same two labels. Quick Sync, the card the app first opens on, is where that
+matters most.
+
+- **The place is chosen on the card, and nothing is chosen for the user.** On a
+  first run neither GitHub nor Gitea is selected, and the token box takes a token
+  only once one is. A token cannot be pasted for a place nobody chose.
+- **Nothing is sent until the user asks.** A token that is typed, pasted, or
+  filled in from a saved default goes nowhere by itself. It leaves the machine
+  when the user presses Find (the organization list) or Load repositories, and
+  it goes to the listers of the place that is on the card at that moment. An
+  account's page still lists and loads when it is opened: its token was saved for
+  its place.
+- **A server address is taken when its box is left**, not while it is typed, so no
+  token is sent to half an address; the card then shows it as it was normalized.
+  While the box holds another text than the address that was taken, and while
+  the card names no usable address, nothing can be looked up, loaded or synced,
+  whatever starts it (a button, a keyboard shortcut).
+- **What belongs to one place is forgotten when another is chosen:** the token,
+  the organization, and the table. The repositories of the table have clone
+  addresses on the other host; they are not left there to be synced with a token
+  of the new place.
+- **The card opens the way the last connection that worked left it:** place,
+  server address, organization, target folder, kept in `settings.json`. Never a
+  token. An older gclo that rewrites `settings.json` drops these fields; the card
+  then opens as on a first run, which costs a choice and nothing else.
+- **The app opens where it was left:** the workspace that was open last; with
+  nothing recorded, the first account; with no account, Quick Sync.
+
+### A default token per place (#212)
+
+Settings held one default token, GitHub's, and the rule was "the default token is
+a GitHub token". With GitHub and Gitea as equal options it holds one for GitHub
+and one for a Gitea server, and the rule is: **a default token belongs to one
+place and is never used for another.**
+
+- **The rule is in the name of the vault entry**, not in a check somebody has to
+  remember: GitHub's entry is the one it always was; a Gitea server's is made
+  from the server's address (`DefaultTokens.EntryFor`). Asking for the default
+  token of a place finds the one saved for exactly that place, or none.
+- **Who asks:** Quick Sync, for the place on its card; an account that uses the
+  default token, for its own place (`AccountTokenResolver`); the wizard, for the
+  place of the account; `--use-default-token` on the command line, likewise. A
+  place that has none offers no such choice.
+- **The Gitea default is an address and a token, saved together.** Settings never
+  carries the saved token to another address: a changed address asks for the
+  token of the new server and removes the old one's; a refused address disables
+  Save. One default Gitea server: more servers are what accounts are for.
+- The address is in `settings.json` (`DefaultGiteaServer`); the token is in the
+  vault. The two can come apart (an older gclo rewrites `settings.json` without
+  the address; the file cannot be written or read): the token is then still
+  found by whatever asks for the default of that server, while Settings shows
+  none. An address entered in Settings that already has a default token in the
+  vault is therefore taken up as the default it is, so the token can be seen,
+  replaced and removed again. With another server saved as the default, taking
+  one up removes that server's token, as typing a token for another server
+  does: there is one default Gitea server.
+- What the app remembers by itself (the workspace that was open, Quick Sync's
+  connection) is written over `settings.json` as it is on disk at that moment,
+  those values only. A second gclo window that closes does not put its older
+  copy of the settings back, which would drop an address saved in the meantime.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **A Gitea client package.** One more dependency to track and to trust with the
+  token, for six endpoints.
+- **Using `clone_url` from the answers.** It would follow a server whose configured
+  root address differs from the one the user reaches it by (a reverse proxy), but
+  it lets the server name the host that receives the token for git. Building the
+  address also makes such a server work.
+- **Following redirects on the same host.** Simpler to refuse them all than to
+  decide which are the same host.
+- **Letting an edit change an account's server**, with the token entered again.
+  The rule "the token is asked for again" would have to hold in the wizard, the
+  command line and the store; "it cannot be changed" holds in the store alone.
+- **Allowing `http://` for a server on a local network, or a switch to accept any
+  certificate.** Both put the token on the wire, or in the hands of whoever answers,
+  in exactly the setups where nobody is watching. The supported route for a private
+  authority is to trust it in Windows.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A server reachable only through a sign-in page or a single-sign-on proxy does not
+  work: the answer is a page, not the API, and gclo says that the address does not
+  answer like a Gitea server.
+- A token needs to be allowed to read repositories, organizations and the user
+  (`read:repository`, `read:organization`, `read:user`). Without the second, the
+  organization list holds the personal account only and an organization is typed
+  by hand, as on GitHub.
+- The git client uses the same credential form as for GitHub (a fixed user name,
+  the token as the password). Gitea accepts a token as the password with any user
+  name; this is still to be confirmed against a live server, before the release
+  that brings Gitea support (#201).
+- The engine's public surface grows (`ForgeKind`, `ForgeAccessException`,
+  `ForgeAccessKind`, `GiteaServerUrl`, the two listers), and the base type of
+  `GitHubAccessException` changes: a minor version for the package. Code that
+  catches either type, or reads `Kind`, is not affected; code that looks `Kind`
+  up by name through reflection now finds two properties.
+- A server answers a renamed organization or account with a redirect, which gclo
+  does not follow: the message says to use the new name.
+- Accounts, the command line and the desktop app came in their own changes
+  (#204, #206; the sections above).

+# UX plan: the default token and account tokens
+
+> **Status: approved** by the owner on 2026-10-10; step 1 is #104. Delivers #101
+> (Settings shows a saved default token as a masked value) and #102 (Add account
+> uses the default token by reference). Tracker of record: the project's issue tracker; this
+> document is the design.
+
+## The problem, as the owner sees it
+
+1. In **Settings**, a saved default token leaves the token box empty. An empty box
+   reads as "nothing saved", even with the caption underneath.
+2. **Add account** always demands a token on step 2, even when a default token is
+   saved. Every account then holds its own copy, so rotating the default token in
+   Settings does nothing for existing accounts: each keeps the old copy until it
+   fails.
+
+## Design decisions
+
+- **An account references the default token; it never copies it.** A new field
+  `TokenSource` on the account record: `Default` (use whatever the default token
+  is right now) or `Own` (this account's own vault entry, today's behaviour).
+  Rotating the default token in Settings rotates every `Default` account at once.
+  `Own` accounts are untouched by the default, as today.
+- **One resolver, used everywhere.** `AccountTokenResolver.Resolve(account)` in
+  `gclo.ViewModels` returns the token to use for an account (`Default` → vault
+  entry `DefaultTokenVaultId`; `Own` → vault entry `account.Id`) plus *why* it is
+  missing when it is. The desktop workspace, Sync All, the wizard's validation
+  and the CLI's `sync --account` all go through it. No consumer reads the vault
+  for an account directly any more.
+- **The token itself is never shown.** The Settings box shows a fixed mask when a
+  token is saved; the wizard never loads a token into a box; the reveal button
+  of a `PasswordBox` can only ever reveal what the user typed in this session.
+- **Backward compatible on disk.** `TokenSource` defaults to `Own` when absent, so
+  every existing `accounts.json` and every existing vault entry keeps working.
+  1.0.x builds reading a newer file ignore the field (System.Text.Json default).
+- **Deleting the default token is a guarded action** when `Default` accounts
+  exist: Settings says which accounts stop working and asks for confirmation.
+

+Save semantics: mask unchanged → keep; non-empty and not the mask → store; empty
+→ remove (only if one was saved). Removing while `Default` accounts exist is
+confirmed **inline** rather than with a second dialog (a `ContentDialog` cannot
+open another one, and the dialog guard allows one at a time): the caption turns
+critical, names the accounts ("2 accounts use it and will stop syncing until a new
+one is saved: A, B."), and Save is the confirmation; typing a token or Cancel
+backs out.
+
+Accessibility: the box keeps its automation id `SettingsDefaultTokenBox`; the
+mask is announced as the field's value by the password pattern (dots), the
+caption is a live region, and the Remove link's text names the consequence.
+
+## Add account / Edit account wizard (#102)
+
+Step 2 ("Access token") becomes a choice, shown only when a default token is
+saved; without one the step looks exactly as today.
+
+```text
+Step 2 of 4: Access token
+
+( ) Use the default token from Settings      ← selected by default for a new account
+    Used by Quick Sync and N other account(s). Replacing it in Settings updates
+    this account too.
+( ) Use a different token for this account
+    [ Personal access token ..................... ]  (enabled only when selected)
+    How to create a token
+
+Next validates the chosen token and lists the organizations it can see.
+```
+
+- **New account:** "Use the default token" is preselected. Next validates the
+  *default* token through the resolver and lists its organizations. On save the
+  account is written with `TokenSource = Default` and **no vault entry** of its
+  own. Choosing "a different token" requires typing one; save writes
+  `TokenSource = Own` and the entry, as today.
+- **Edit account:** the radio reflects the current source. Switching `Own →
+  Default` deletes the account's own vault entry on save (confirmed in the
+  caption: "This account's own token will be removed from Credential Manager").
+  Switching `Default → Own` requires a token. Staying on `Own` with the box
+  empty keeps the stored token, as today.
+- **Default token missing** (removed after the account was created): step 2
+  shows "The default token is no longer saved. Save one in Settings, or use a
+  different token for this account." and Next stays put.
+- **Seeded wizard** ("save this Quick Sync connection as an account"): if the
+  typed Quick Sync token equals the saved default token, the wizard preselects
+  "Use the default token"; otherwise "a different token" with the typed value.
+  (Comparison happens in memory in the view model; nothing is logged.)
+
+## Where the account's token shows up elsewhere
+
+- **Navigation pane / account header:** `Default` accounts get a small
+  "Default token" tag (text, not just an icon) in the account's header, so the
+  dependency on Settings is visible where the account is used.
+- **Account workspace:** the token box is prefilled from the resolver as today.
+  For a `Default` account its header reads "Using the default token"; editing the
+  box affects this session only, exactly as for Quick Sync.
+- **Sync All:** a `Default` account whose default token is missing is skipped
+  with the result "No default token saved (Settings)" instead of a generic auth
+  error.
+- **Error messages:** every "no token" message names the source
+  ("the default token in Settings" or "this account's own token") and the fix.
+
+## CLI parity (`gclo accounts`, `gclo sync --account`)
+
+- `accounts add … --use-default-token` creates a `Default` account; the existing
+  `--token-env | --token-file | --token-stdin` create `Own` accounts. Exactly one
+  of the four is required (today: one of the three).
+- `accounts edit --name X --use-default-token` switches to `Default` and removes
+  the own entry; a `--token-*` option switches to `Own`.
+- `accounts list` gains a `token` column: `default` or `own`; the JSON output
+  gains `"tokenSource"`.
+- `sync --account X` resolves through the resolver; its "no token" error names
+  the source and the fix (`gclo accounts edit --name X --token-stdin`, or saving
+  a default token in the desktop app's Settings; the CLI gets no way to *set*
+  the default token in this change).
+- The default token stays a desktop-app concept to set, but the CLI reads it,
+  so a headless mirror can use `Default` accounts created on the same machine.
+
+## Data model and storage
+
+- `Account.TokenSource` (`enum TokenSource { Own, Default }`), serialized as a
+  string, default `Own`, `[JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingDefault]` so existing
+  files stay byte-identical until an account actually uses the default.
+- `AccountsStore.Save(account, token)` keeps its contract; a `Default` account is
+  always saved with `token: null`, and switching to `Default` removes the own
+  entry inside the same vault-first/compensate sequence the store already has.
+- `AccountsStore.CountUsingDefaultToken()` feeds the Settings captions.
+- Vault scoping (#60) is unchanged: `DefaultTokenVaultId` already lives in the
+  same scope as the accounts.
+
+## Security review (threat model T5, T6)
+
+- No new place holds a token: the mask is a constant; the resolver returns the
+  token to the same callers that already received it; nothing is logged.
+- A `Default` account widens the blast radius of the default token to every
+  such account by design; the Settings warning on removal and the "Default
+  token" tag make that dependency visible. Rotation becomes a single action,
+  which is the point.
+- The CLI still has no `--token <value>`; `--use-default-token` carries no
+  secret on the command line.
+
+## Tests
+
+- ViewModels (100% line coverage stays enforced): resolver (both sources,
+  missing cases), wizard step 2 for new/edit/seeded in both sources and the
+  missing-default error, store save/switch/compensation with `TokenSource`,
+  settings captions and remove-with-dependents counts (through a small
+  `SettingsTokenState` view model so the dialog has no logic of its own),
+  Sync All skip reason.
+- CLI (100%): `--use-default-token` on add/edit, mutual exclusion with
+  `--token-*`, list column and JSON field, sync resolution error text.
+- FlaUI: Settings shows the mask when a token is saved and an empty box when
+  not; Add account shows the radio only when a default token exists, and the
+  token box is disabled while "Use the default token" is selected.
+- Serialization round-trip: an `accounts.json` without the field loads as `Own`
+  and re-saves without the field.
+
+## Delivery
+
+One issue per layer, one PR each, in this order, every PR green on all gates:
+
+1. **#102a – model + resolver + store + CLI** (no UI change yet; `Default`
+   accounts can only be created by the CLI so far). Threat model updated.
+2. **#102b – wizard + pane tag + Sync All reason** (desktop).
+3. **#101 – Settings dialog** (mask, captions, guarded removal), last because its
+   "used by N accounts" count depends on step 1.
+
+Ships in the next minor (1.1.0): it adds a field to the account record and a
+CLI option, which is a feature, not a fix; 1.0.2 stays the pipeline/data-root
+fix release.

Certificates are validated by the platform and that cannot be switched off. Every request goes to the configured address with the token in a header; redirects are not followed; the address of a next page is never taken from an answer; the client keeps no cookies. An address that is refused is not repeated in a message (it may hold a password or a token), and neither is a token. Clone addresses are built from the configured address, the owner and the name, and the server's `clone_url` is not read, so the git client's rule (the token only to the host of the clone address, T14) binds the token to the account's server. Answers are bounded in size, lists in pages and items, requests in time (reading the answer included). A server's own text reaches a message only as the reason of a refusal, on one line and cut to a length (T15). Accounts (#204): the forge and server of an account cannot be changed after it is added, so a saved token is not sent to an address somebody edited; `gclo sync --account` takes no other place from the command line; a default token belongs to one place (GitHub, or one Gitea server: its vault entry is named after the place) and is never handed to an account, a wizard or a Quick Sync on another (#212), and each forge has its own default token variable; accounts that are not on GitHub are kept in a file of their own, which a gclo from before forges neither reads nor rewrites, so that version cannot turn one into a GitHub account by writing back what it knows; the token of such an account is found only by that account at the address it was saved for (T13); an account whose stored forge or server cannot be used, or whose forge this version does not know, asks no server anything. The app's wizard (#206): the address is checked by the same rule, and the step that asks for the token names it in full as it was normalized; the wizard holds the lister of the chosen place only; a token typed for one place is emptied when another place is chosen, and the default token on offer is the one saved for the place that is chosen, never another's. Quick Sync (#209): no place is chosen for the user, and its token box takes a token only once one is chosen; a token that is typed, pasted or filled in is sent nowhere until the user presses Find or Load repositories, and then to the listers of the place on the card; a server address is taken when its box is left, not while it is typed; choosing another place empties the token, the organization and the table (whose clone addresses are on the other host); what is remembered of a connection is its place, organization and folder, never a token. | Mitigated. The server the user names sees the token: that is the purpose. A machine that trusts an intercepting certificate authority is outside this (as for GitHub) |
+| T13 | CLI / data directory | Tampering | A malicious `accounts.json`, `accounts-forges.json` or `settings.json` redirects targets, or names another place for an account | Low | Medium | Files live under the user profile; sanitized on load; target paths resolved and contained. The token of an account on a Gitea server is stored under a name made from the account's id, forge and server address as the file states them, so an account whose address was changed in the file finds no token for the new address, and a record that names another account's id finds none of that account's. What remains for someone who can write these files: a record made to look like a GitHub account can name the entry of a Gitea token, an account's or a server's default one (the name can be computed from the file), and that token is then offered to github.com, not to a host of their choosing. The app resolves a token for the place a workspace was opened for, so a file that is changed while the app runs does not bring the token of one place to the listers of another. `settings.json` also names the place Quick Sync opens on: one that is changed there opens the card on another server with the organization filled in, and no token (Quick Sync keeps none, and a default token is found only for the place it was saved for); the title of the card names the server before anything is sent | Accepted (same-user boundary: whoever can write these files can read the tokens) |

 | 2026-10-10 | v1.0.2 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T11: the packaging PR is opened with a short-lived release GitHub App token (contents + pull requests on this repository, no bypass) instead of a long-lived PAT; the commit is GitHub-signed (#85) |
 | 2026-10-10 | v1.0.2 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | Local data directory moved to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\KofTwentyTwo\gclo`: the Velopack install root is deleted by Setup.exe, which destroyed accounts.json and settings.json (#91) |
 | 2026-10-10 | v1.0.2 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T2/T11: releases are Authenticode-signed with Azure Artifact Signing over GitHub OIDC (no signing secret; federated credential bound to this repository's `release` environment; signer role scoped to the certificate profile) and the published assets are verified with `signtool verify /pa /all` (#57, ADR 0008) |
+| 2026-10-10 | v1.1.0 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T5: accounts can reference the default token (`TokenSource = Default`) instead of holding a copy; one `AccountTokenResolver` serves the app and the CLI, so rotating the default token in Settings rotates every such account (#102, docs/plans/default-token-ux.md) |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T14 added, T4/T8/T9 updated: an existing folder is fetched only when its origin names the listed repository, through the listed URL, and the folder's own `url.*.insteadOf` and (for a non-HTTPS fetch) `core.sshCommand` are refused; the git credential callback and the WSL credential helper answer only for the listed host over HTTPS; WSL organization and repository names validated as single names (#139) |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T3/T4 updated: path recovery writes and deletes only through `WorkingTree` (inside the working directory, never in `.git`, never through a link); `.git` and its Windows aliases are invalid path segments; the stored recovery file's paths are validated on load; cleanup of a failed clone does not follow links (#141) |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T15 added: text from repositories and servers is shown with control, separator and format characters made visible, in the activity log and in everything the CLI prints as text, including characters a legacy console code page would turn into control bytes; the desktop app's surfaces are named as not covered (#143) |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | The project's home moved to `git.kof22.com`: the Help menu, the About dialog, the CLI's error text and the documentation link there, and the Scoop bucket is added from there (the manifest that pins the download URL and its hash now comes from that server over HTTPS; T2 is unchanged in kind). Help > Share hands a fixed text (what gclo is, where to download it, the sender's gclo version) to the system's mail handler as a `mailto:` link with no recipient, or shows it and copies it to the clipboard; nothing about the user, their accounts, or their repositories is in it, and the address it is built from must be a plain http(s) host and path (#163, #165). The update feed and the release downloads named in package manifests are still GitHub Releases at this revision. |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | Working tree (#174; the T3 and T4 rows are unchanged, this adds to what they rely on). On Windows, a forced checkout into a folder whose tree is not finished (the first checkout of a clone that was empty, and the completion of a checkout that was cut off) is preceded by refusals that change nothing: a link on the way or at a destination (except, at a destination where the repository itself has a symbolic link, a link that leads where the repository's does), a file where a folder is needed (also on the way to a submodule), a folder that is not empty where a file is needed, a file at a destination that is not what the unfinished checkout wrote there, and anything but an empty folder where the repository has a submodule. "What the unfinished checkout wrote" is the content, or the beginning of it, of the commit the branch is on or of a commit recorded in `gclo.checkoutwrittenbefore`, as stored or as the checkout filters make it, carriage returns aside. An unfinished checkout is a marked folder that has no index, or that does not hold every file of its commit; a marked folder that has an index and every file is updated like any clone, without force. A completion is refused when the index names a file the commit does not have (somebody added it with git, and the forced checkout would remove it). An unfinished checkout is completed at the commit its branch is on, before the branch moves, except where the branch must move first (a tree Windows cannot write, or a history origin rewrote); the commit it leaves is then recorded, and a path recovery of that folder accepts a file that is, whole, what a recorded commit has. A repository that has local branches is not treated as an empty clone; one without follows origin's default branch only when its folder holds nothing but `.git`. The folder is marked unfinished before its branch is created. One git operation per folder at a time within a process (not across processes, and not across spellings of a path that only the file system can resolve). The WSL clone is made in `~/gclo/.gclo-tmp` and renamed into place when complete (`mv -T`, after a check that nothing is there). Not covered: a file created in the folder between the check and the checkout that follows it; a file of the user's at a destination that is empty, or holds the repository's content or the beginning of it, which is replaced; a link of the user's that leads exactly where the repository's symbolic link at that path does, which is replaced by the repository's; a marked folder whose index somebody's git wrote and whose last file was cut off, which is taken for finished (git shows that file as changed); files of a commit the branch left that the new commit does not have, which stay in the folder untracked; an unfinished clone in which a folder of an earlier commit became a file, or that was cut off by a power loss leaving files of zeros, which is refused until the folder is cleared; platforms other than Windows, where the checkout is forced as before. |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | Update feed and release downloads moved from GitHub Releases to the project's releases on `git.kof22.com` (ADR 0009, #170): the in-app updater reads the feed with Velopack's Gitea source, anonymously over HTTPS, and the Scoop and Chocolatey manifests download from there. The updater verifies packages against the hashes in the feed, as before; it has never checked a signature or an attestation. The trust that was placed in GitHub's release hosting (account security, immutable releases) is now placed in a self-hosted server: whoever can publish a release there, or holds its TLS certificate or DNS, can deliver an update that installs without a warning. T1 is rewritten to say so and its status changed from mitigated to accepted. The manifests still pin a SHA-256 (T2). |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | Corrections from the release reviews (#183): the header names the version reviewed; section 1 says that an installed build contacts `git.kof22.com` for updates; the accepted risks no longer say the binaries are unsigned (they are signed, ADR 0008) and name T1 and the Scoop part of T2 instead; T2 and T11 say what ADR 0009 changed (the Scoop manifest and the file it names come from one server; the copy of release assets to that server is manual and outside the attested pipeline). |
+| 2026-11-10 | v1.1.1 | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T4: a proxy named in a folder's own git configuration, and its own `http.followRedirects`, are refused like a URL rewrite, so the folder does not choose the server a fetch is made through or sent on to (the token was not exposed by the proxy: TLS is end to end). T3: a repository whose name is git's own folder name, in any spelling Windows opens as that folder, fails its row in the sync on every platform, not only on Windows, and is refused by the WSL clone (#184). |
+| 2026-11-11 | v1.2.0 (in work) | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T16 added with the Gitea listers of the engine (ADR 0010, #202): a server at an address the user names is a new component and a new place a token is sent to. The rules that keep the token on that server are stated there. Accounts, the CLI and the app do not use a Gitea server yet. |
+| 2026-11-11 | v1.2.0 (in work) | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T16 extended for accounts and the command line (#204): where an account lives is fixed when it is added; tokens do not cross forges by default (the default token, the environment variables); accounts on another forge are in `accounts-forges.json`, which an older gclo does not rewrite; their token is bound to the account and its server address. T13 restated for it. |
+| 2026-11-11 | v1.2.0 (in work) | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T16 extended for the desktop app's Add account wizard (#206): the place is chosen before the token is typed, the token is checked with that place only, and nothing typed for one place is carried to another. |
+| 2026-11-11 | v1.2.0 (in work) | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T16 extended for Quick Sync (#209): GitHub and Gitea are equal on the card the app opens on; nothing is preselected and nothing is sent without the user asking; `settings.json` now also holds the place Quick Sync last connected to (a server address, no token). |
+| 2026-11-11 | v1.2.0 (in work) | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | T16 restated for a default token per place (#212): Settings holds one for GitHub and one for a Gitea server, each under a vault entry named after its place; `settings.json` holds the address of that server. The rule "the default token is a GitHub token" is replaced by "a default token is never used for another place than its own". |
+| 2026-11-11 | v1.2.0 (in work) | James Maes (@KofTwentyTwo) | One window per data folder (#216): the app holds `window.lock` in its data folder while its window is open, and a second start asks the open window to come to the front through a named event and ends. No new trust boundary: the file and the event are the user's own. A process running as the same user can hold the file (gclo then opens no window) or raise the event (the window comes to the front); such a process can already read and change everything gclo keeps (T6, T13). Nothing secret is in either. |
