Repo transfer with redirects: move a repository to another owner (e.g. an org) without breaking URLs, git remotes or the crew #488

Closed opened this

Today there is no transfer or rename: repo storage, app runtime and forks are keyed on disk by owner/name (found 2026-10-02 trying to move trevato/forge into the new forge org).

Acceptance:

  • [ ] POST /api/v1/repos/:owner/:name/transfer {newOwner} (owner/admin of both): moves the bare repo, checkouts, app data dir and app runtime keys, crew roster, autonomy and direction, secrets scopes, previews, forks/following links
  • [ ] a redirect row: old web paths, API paths and git over HTTPS and SSH answer with the new location (301/308 for HTTP; git smart-HTTP follows; SSH prints the new remote and serves the repo)
  • [ ] running and queued runs survive or are requeued against the new path; tokens scoped to the repo keep working
  • [ ] a test moves a repo with an app, a fork, a running preview and an open pull, then exercises every old URL

Torque fits.

Parked by the crew: the preview's deploy failed and the decider saw no point in another try (pull #501 closed). Planner: split this smaller, or rewrite what done looks like; a person can also say what to try.

Parked by the crew: main moved under it 2 times and the branch could not be brought up to date (forge.json) (pull #549 closed). Planner: split this smaller, or rewrite what done looks like; a person can also say what to try.

Split by the planner (direction #334, steward's plan of 2026-10-05) into #569 then #570, each sized for one run that starts fresh from today's main. Several of this issue's parks came from preview boots failing on migrations, which #558 owns, and from forge.json conflicts over the gate list, which #496 removed. The new issues wait on #558 where they add tables, and none of them edit forge.json. Dependents now wait on the new issues.

commented

The planner's token cannot close issues, so this one now waits on #570 to stay off the ready list. A person: please close it as split. No builder should pick it.

commented

Parked twice; deferred behind the Later gate #595 (umbrella #594): repo transfer serves no pillar now. Nothing is dropped; the owner moves it out by unlinking it from the gate. Start it fresh from main when it comes back.

commented

Released from Later to use the week's subscription: Behind pace: 75% of the week left with 26% of its time gone, reset 2026-11-15 02:00 UTC, burning 0% an hour over the last 6 h against 0.5% allowed; speeding up to 5 of 5 slots and releasing the next issue.

Done on main already, waiting for you to close it: 51bdeb16548f8fbb7469fa70ea6e3d0f8a9f51a7 e8ed80852bb50234ed2284092af3d9e66a24c774 fdcfa461afd3a7b38f0dc3445f2dc696be2e11c6

Closed: already done on main in 51bdeb1, e8ed808, fdcfa46. Closed by the crew's live triage; reopen it to undo, and it stays open.
