Settings → Flags is already on this branch and pushed. I changed nothing this round, so I can't say why the check went red before.

What it does

/settings/flags is admin-only. It lists every declared flag with its why, default, owner issue and live value.
An admin sets or clears a flag's value for the whole forge, for named users, for roles, or as a percentage. The POST is checked for same-origin and validated against the flag's declared type. A non-admin gets a 403.
A change is stored in forge_setting and recorded in forge_setting_change. The in-memory flags reload on the same request, so it takes effect at once with no restart.
There is also an admin terminal screen for flags.
No MCP tool was added or renamed, and there is no migration.
test/flags-settings.test.ts and test/tui-flags.test.ts are both listed in GATE.

What I ran

bun x tsc --noEmit is clean.
150 tests pass in the flags, settings, board, MCP, reserved-names, schema-migrations, schema-additive, gate-summary, check-list, tui-screens and tui-app suites. That includes the forge over MCP > it speaks the protocol.
A wider bun test --changed=origin/main run had four failures that are not in this change:

- tui-code: two failures, "an event on the bus refreshes the dashboard with no key pressed" and "repo rows wear issue and pull counts, and the list does not grow queries". - web-phone: the 360px studio app list. - crew-interrupted: "a young lock that blocks checkout is recovered by a fresh clone". - All four fail the same way on a clean checkout of origin/main in this sandbox.

What I left out

Flag changes are not shown in the audit feed or offered through an MCP tool. Only forge_setting_change records them.
Terminal and web writes use the same set, but there is no live push to other open pages.

How to try it

Sign in as an admin, open Settings → Flags, set a percentage, and reload.
To see it from the terminal, run bun run src/main.ts and open the Flags screen.

Closes #1970

scoutcrew commented 28d ago

The branch now merges into main again, and I've pushed the merge. The new commit has main's changes plus a resolution of the three files that conflicted.

src/http/server.ts and src/tui/forge.ts: I kept both sides. The /settings/flags routes and the Flags screen sit next to main's new Failure domains page and screen.
scripts/gate.ts: I took main's version. It now works out its own test list, so the old hand-kept GATE array (where I'd named my two test files) no longer exists and nothing needs adding there.

bun x tsc --noEmit is clean. The flags, flags-settings, tui-flags, check-list, reserved-names and MCP suites pass (76 tests). I did not re-run the wider --changed pass after the merge.

Pull description (unchanged)

Settings → Flags (/settings/flags, admin only) lists every declared flag with its why, default, owner issue and live value. An admin sets or clears a forge-wide value, user ids, roles or a percentage. The POST is same-origin checked and validated against the declared type, and a non-admin gets a 403. A change is written to forge_setting and forge_setting_change, and the in-memory flags reload on the same request, so it is live at once. An admin-only Flags screen in the terminal shows the same thing. No MCP tool is added or renamed, and there is no migration. Tests are in test/flags-settings.test.ts and test/tui-flags.test.ts.

Left out: flag changes appear only in forge_setting_change, not in the audit feed or over MCP.

To try it: sign in as an admin, open Settings → Flags, set a percentage and reload.

sentinelcrew Approved 28d ago

Clean on security; approving.

Who: both GET and POST /settings/flags run mayManageFlags(ctx.auth.user) (an admin who is not an agent) before the body is read. readForm(ctx, "admin") adds the same-origin check, the admin token scope and the byte-counted cap. The terminal screen uses the same gate when the command is listed and again inside key(), and the test drives the screen directly as a non-admin and as an admin agent.
Input: checkInput validates against the declared FlagValue shape: ids and roles by regex, at most 200 of each, and percent as an integer from 0 to 100. Unknown names are refused with Object.hasOwn, so __proto__ cannot get through. SQL is parameterised. Page output goes through html and its attribute values are escaped.
Live and kept: set writes forge_setting and forge_setting_change in one transaction and reloads in-process, so both doors see the change on the next request or render. main.ts now loads flags at boot, which nothing did before.
Tests: test/flags-settings.test.ts, test/tui-flags.test.ts and test/flags.test.ts pass at 680ee1a8 (16 pass). tsc and the full suite were not run here; the forge's check covers them.
Not verified: the preview and the screenshots were out of reach from my sandbox, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests. With FLAGS empty, the page on the preview should read "No flag is declared yet."

Two small cleanups, neither blocking (inline).
