routes.js reads resp.page?.hasMore and resp.page?.nextUrl — the old
HTTP client returned page as an object from parsePageInfo. The CLI
pivot accidentally returned page as a number, making hasMore always
undefined in routes.js. Restore the object shape in both gitea and
gitlab clients. Update tests to assert the object shape.
Fix critical bugs in the CLI transport layer that were masked by
idealized unit test mocks. All fixes verified against live binaries.
Server (gitea/client.js):
- C1: Remove --paginate flag (tea rejects it with exit 1)
- C2: Pass auth via -H 'Authorization: token' header instead of
GITEA_SERVER_TOKEN env (tea ignores that env var)
- C3: Parse --include output from stderr (tea writes headers to
stderr, not stdout)
- H2: Parse Link header for hasMore/pagination
Server (gitlab/client.js):
- C4: Remove /api/v4 prefix (glab adds it automatically; double
prefix caused every call to 404)
- H2: Parse Link header for hasMore/pagination
Tests (both client.test.js):
- H1: Rewrite mocks to match real CLI behavior: headers on stderr
for tea, no --paginate, auth via -H header, Link header parsing
- Add C3, C1, C4 specific regression tests
UI (GiteaSettings, GitLabSettings):
- U4: Replace return null loading state with animated skeleton
(prevents blank flash)
- U2: Surface actual error message in connect failure toast
- U5: Add CLI transport hint below connect form
- U6 (GitLab): Add transport hint for unconnected state
UI (GiteaIssuePickerDialog, GitLabIssuePickerDialog):
- U3: Add retry button when error state is displayed
Live smoke tests passed:
- tea api -H 'Authorization: token WRONG' /user → 401
- tea api /repos/Vibing/openchamber/issues?state=open&limit=2 → 200
- glab api user with GITLAB_TOKEN=dummy → 401 (not 404)
Replace raw fetch transport with CLI subprocess calls:
- Gitea: spawn 'tea api --include' with GITEA_SERVER_TOKEN env var
- GitLab: spawn 'glab api --include' with GITLAB_TOKEN env var
Binary paths env-overridable (TEA_BIN / GLAB_BIN).
8s request timeout via AbortSignal on spawned process.
ETag cache and rate-limit cooldown dropped (tradeoff documented).
Pagination via --paginate for list endpoints.
Tests mock child_process.spawn instead of globalThis.fetch.
