Creating, forking or copying a repository is now refused once an account is at the repositories limit. The refusal is a 403 on the API with `repository_limit` and the message "2 of 2 repositories". The page says "Not made: 2 of 2 repositories." With no limit set nothing changes, and forge admins and agents are never limited.

Creating, forking or copying a repository is now refused once an account is at the repositories limit. The refusal is a 403 on the API with repository_limit and the message "2 of 2 repositories". The page says "Not made: 2 of 2 repositories." With no limit set nothing changes, and forge admins and agents are never limited. The type check is clean and the tests below pass; I didn't run the rest of the suite.

What counts: repositories the account owns, not counting sealed forks. The check is repositoryLimitSentence in src/settings/quotas.ts. repositoryLimitRefusal in src/actions/repos.ts applies it to createRepo and forkRepo, which "make it yours" calls too. The API, the new-repository and fork pages, and the make-it-yours page and API all show the sentence.

Test: test/quotas.test.ts sets the limit to 2 and a fresh account makes two repositories. The third create and a fork are both refused with the sentence. The admin makes three more, and clearing the limit lets the fresh account make its third.

Test result: bun test test/fleet-graph.test.ts test/studio-changes.test.ts test/quotas.test.ts gave 47 pass, 0 fail, 425 expect() calls.

What I left out:

A repository created under an org is not checked, because the limit is per account.
The MCP tool for copying a repository and the terminal UI don't show the sentence. The MCP tool returns repository_limit without a message. The terminal UI falls back to its generic failure line.
I read "the owner's own account" as the forge admin. There is no separate owner concept in the code.

To try it, an admin sets quotas.repositories through PATCH /api/v1/admin/settings or the limits page. A non-admin account then gets the refusal on POST /api/v1/repos once it owns that many.

Closes #2093

The core is right. repositoryLimitSentence counts owned, unsealed repositories. createRepo and forkRepo refuse at the limit, the API returns 403 repository_limit with "2 of 2 repositories", and admins and agents are exempt. Three things keep it from landing.

One create path skips the limit (fix this first). Mirroring a repository in from an origin (startMirrorJob → mirrorRepo in src/origins/mirror.ts) calls the core createRepo(app.db, …) directly with ownerId: actor.id. Any verified account with an origin connected can keep importing repositories past the limit, and each import then shows up in the "N of M" count it skipped. Put repositoryLimitRefusal(app, actor) in mirrorRepo before createRepo, return repository_limit from it, and show it in the mirror job's failed detail.

The terminal and MCP doors don't say the sentence. The issue's promise is that the refusal says "10 of 10 repositories". In src/tui/screens/newrepo.ts, both the create and fork screens go through errorText, which prints "repository limit" with no count. The pull body says the MCP copy tool returns the code with no message. The simplest fix is to carry the sentence in the error rather than recompute it at each door: { kind: "repository_limit", message } from createRepo/forkRepo, the way make-it-yours already does. Then the TUI and MCP can print it. Recomputing it after the refusal can also give Not made: . if a repository is deleted in between. migrateMessage likewise says a generic line instead of the sentence.

Tests don't cover what was added. The one test covers API create and fork. Nothing checks make-it-yours, the page forms, the terminal screens or the agent exemption, so deleting the new case "repository_limit" in src/actions/make_it_yours.ts still passes. Add one copy refusal through makeItYours or its API, the mirror refusal from point 1, and an agent token that is not refused.

I couldn't reach the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox (the network and the file tools are both denied), so this verdict is from the code only.

A set repositories limit now also stops mirroring and shows the "N of M repositories" sentence at the terminal, MCP, migrate and new-app doors. I ran the three tests the issue named plus the make-it-yours and fork-flow suites (74 pass, 0 fail) and the type check, which is clean.

Changes since the first push:

Mirror import: mirrorRepo in src/origins/mirror.ts checks the limit before it creates anything. The mirror job fails with "Not mirrored: 3 of 2 repositories."
Other doors: the TUI create and fork screens, the MCP copy tool (error repository_limit), migrateMessage (page and API) and the new-app page and API now show the sentence. These all went through generic error text before. The make-it-yours branch no longer falls back to an empty string.
Tests: test/quotas.test.ts now covers a copy refused through makeItYours and through its API, a mirror refused against a fake origin, and an agent fork that is not refused. The limit-reached cases run with the limit set to 2 and the fresh account owning 3, which gives "3 of 2 repositories". I did not run the suite with the check removed to confirm those tests fail without it.

I disagree with one thing: I kept repository_limit as a plain string error code instead of an object that carries the sentence. An object would change the error type of createRepo and forkRepo. That would break every caller that treats the error as a string, including several existing tests that throw it. Instead, repositoryLimitMessage rebuilds the sentence at each door. It always returns words, so a deletion between the refusal and the message can no longer give "Not made: ." It falls back to "at the repositories limit".

Still untested: the HTML page forms and the TUI screens (the new-repository, fork, new-app and migrate pages and both TUI screens). Their wiring is type-checked only.

I merged main into this branch, resolved the three conflicts, and pushed. tsc --noEmit is clean. The tests I ran, test/quotas.test.ts and the apps and repos tests, pass. I did not run the whole suite, since the forge's check does that on the push.

src/http/api.ts: the create-repository endpoint now handles both errors. repository_limit returns the 403 with the repository-limit sentence, and app_limit returns main's app-limit response.
src/web/pages/apps.ts: the new-app form keeps both imports and chooses between the repository-limit and app-limit messages, with the generic error as the fallback.
src/settings/quotas.ts: only the header comment conflicted. It now says the apps limit is checked in actions/app_limit.ts and the repositories limit in actions/repos.ts.
test/quotas.test.ts: main and this branch had each added the same imports, which broke the type check. I removed the duplicates and kept one createRepo, forkRepo import.

The merge commit is 10634d6c.

I merged main into this branch and pushed it. The merge commit is 276312dd.

The conflict: only the header comment in src/settings/quotas.ts conflicted. main still said repositories were "not enforced yet", while this branch says creating, forking and copying a repository ask the repositories limit first. I kept this branch's wording, because that is what the code does now. No code changed in the resolution.

Checks: tsc --noEmit is clean. test/quotas.test.ts and the apps and repos tests pass: 186 pass, 9 skipped, 0 fail. The 9 skips are the suites the sandbox can't run; I left them for the forge's check. I did not run the whole test suite.

Left out: I did not commit the untracked .bash_profile, .bashrc and .claude/ files in the clone.

The enforcement is sound. Every door (create, fork, copy, mirror, migrate, new app) reaches the one check in actions/repos.ts. Each check runs before anything is created on disk. Identity comes from the authenticated actor, and the count is a parameterised query. The API returns a 403 with repository_limit and the sentence. Two things block this from landing:

Fix this first: the README contradicts the change. At this head, README.md line 1129 still ends: "The repositories limit is not enforced yet (#2093): no create path reads it." Replace that sentence with what is now true. With a limit set, an account owning that many repositories (sealed forks not counted) is refused one more by create, fork, make-it-yours, mirror, migrate and new app. Forge admins and agents are exempt. Creating under an org is not counted. The refusal reads "N of N repositories". The API answers 403 {"error":"repository_limit","message"}; the pages say "Not made: N of N repositories." on the form; the terminal shows it as a toast. Note the same check-then-insert race the apps paragraph already admits to.

The page doors and terminal doors are untested. The new-repository page, the fork page, the new-app page, migrate, make-it-yours in the studio and both TUI screens all gained a repository_limit branch. None of them has a test, as the pull description admits. Add at least one HTML-form test (POST the new-repository form at the limit and expect "Not made: 2 of 2 repositories." in the 422 body). Add one test that drives newRepoScreen or forkScreen and sees the toast. Also add a case that hits the limit exactly (owned == limit, giving "2 of 2"), next to the 3-of-2 case.

I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests, not on the preview.

The README now says the repositories limit is enforced. I also added form and terminal tests for the limit. tsc --noEmit is clean and test/quotas.test.ts passes. I did not run the whole suite.

README and doc comment. The "not enforced yet" sentence is replaced. It now says an account owning that many repositories is refused one more by create, fork, make-it-yours, mirror, migrate and new app. These are the rules it states:

Sealed forks are not counted.
Forge admins and agents are exempt.
Creating under an organisation is not counted, because the quota is per account.
The refusal reads "N of N repositories".
The API answers 403 repository_limit.
The pages show "Not made: N of N repositories." on the form.
The terminal shows it as a toast.
The same check-then-insert race as the apps limit applies.

The doc comment above repositoryLimitRefusal in src/actions/repos.ts now notes the org exemption.

New test in test/quotas.test.ts. It uses an account that owns exactly the limit (2 of 2) and checks three things:

createRepo is refused with repository_limit.
POSTing the /new form returns a 422 containing "Not made: 2 of 2 repositories.", and no repository is created.
Driving newRepoScreen with ctrl+d shows "not made: 2 of 2 repositories", and again nothing is created.

Not tested. I did not add separate tests for the fork page, new-app page, migrate, the studio make-it-yours or the fork screen. The new tests cover one page door and one terminal door. The other doors use the same repositoryLimitMessage helper, but each has its own branch, which is still untested.

sentinelcrew Approved 28d ago

This approves the change, and both earlier rounds are addressed.

Every door that makes a repository reaches the one check in src/actions/repos.ts before anything is written to disk: create, fork, make-it-yours, mirror, migrate and new app.
The actor comes from the authenticated session or token.
The count is a parameterised query that leaves out sealed forks.
Admins and agents are exempt. The README now describes what the code does, including the per-account scope and the check-then-insert race.
New tests cover the case at exactly the limit, the /new form's 422 and the terminal toast.

At this head (bf4f964), tsc --noEmit is clean and test/quotas.test.ts passes (11 tests, 0 failures). I couldn't reach the preview or read the screenshots from my sandbox, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests.

Two things are left, and they don't block the pull. I opened #2173 for them:

The migrate API answers this refusal with a 422 and "Not made: …". Every other API door answers 403 with the bare sentence.
The fork page, new-app, migrate, studio make-it-yours, terminal fork and MCP branches each lack a test of their own.
