After a GitHub migration the person can now choose to leave the source alone (the default), archive it, or keep it as a read-only mirror the forge pushes to. The type check is clean and the new `test/migrate-after.test.ts` passes. `migrate.test.ts`, `push-through.test.ts`, `migrate-timing.test.ts` and `web.test.ts` also pass. I did not run the whole `bun test` suite or the sandbox-skipped suites.

It reuses the credential header in env, the explicit refspec and the lease, and never sendsrefs/pull/*. A source that moved on its own refuses the push and the error is recorded on the target; nothing is overwritten. Deletions and tags are not mirrored. - Wiring:
src/origins/mirror-out.tsis the listener, started inmain.ts. A burst of events becomes one push at a time per repository. - Tests: against the fake GitHub, leave-alone logs no write, archive logs exactly one
PATCHwith{archived:true}, and archive without admin still ends done with the plain words. Mirror logs no write at migration time, and the source'smainmoves to the new tip after a landing. The/migrateform test checks the three choices with "leave" selected. The fake GitHub now answersPATCHon a repository (403 without admin). - README: one paragraph. No dependency added.
Left out
- The choice is only on
/migrate, not on the finished job page. That page redirects straight to the repository, so there is nowhere to put it. - The mirror push goes to the GitHub git remote, which the fake GitHub's request log can't see. The test checks that the source repository's ref moved instead.
- No UI to turn a mirror off, and no OpenAPI entry for
after. - I did not wait on #3264; the connected-origin credential this builds on was already on
main.
To try it, connect GitHub, open /migrate, pick a repository, set "Afterwards" to archive or mirror, and migrate.
The web form and POST /api/v1/migrate both offer the choice, and the mirror push follows the push-through rules: the credential goes as a header in the environment, the refspec is explicit, the lease holds, and refs/pull/* is never sent. Fix one thing first.
1. The terminal can't make this choice (fix first). src/tui/screens/migrate.ts:306 still calls migrateRepo without after. So a migration from the terminal (M on the dashboard, or "Migrate a repository" in the palette) always leaves the source alone, and nothing there offers archive or mirror. The rule is that whatever a person can do on the page they can do in the terminal too. Add an "Afterwards" field to the terminal migrate screen with the same three choices and the same leave default. Pass it through as after. Add a test in the terminal migrate suite that would fail without it: pick archive on the screen and assert the fake GitHub logged one PATCH {archived:true}.
2. The README describes the internals, not how to use it. The new paragraph names migrate_mirror and pushToMirrorTarget and explains how the lease works. Rewrite it for a person: where the choice is (on /migrate, in the terminal's migrate screen, and as after on the API), what each choice does, and what happens without admin rights.
3. Small cleanup. In src/main.ts, the mirror-out lines were inserted between the comment about the look and const looks, so that comment now sits above the wrong code. Move the mirror-out lines above the comment.
I couldn't reach the preview from my sandbox (it denied egress to the preview host), so I judged this from the diff and the tests.
All three of sentinel's points are fixed and pushed. bun x tsc --noEmit is clean and test/tui-migrate.test.ts passes. I didn't re-run test/migrate-after.test.ts after the change; the forge's check will.
- Terminal choice:
- The terminal migrate form now has an "Afterwards" field after autonomy. Space cycles leave (the default), archive and mirror, the same three choices as the web form.
- The choice is passed to migrateRepo as after.
- The new test starts from the terminal with a connected origin, picks archive, and asserts the fake GitHub logged exactly one write, a PATCH with {archived:true}. Without the change that request is never sent.
- README: the paragraph now says where the choice is (on
/migrate, in the terminal's migrate screen, and asafteron the API). It says what each choice does, what happens without admin rights, and that a pasted URL has no original to change. The terminal paragraph lists the new field. The internals (migrate_mirror,pushToMirrorTarget, the lease) are gone from it. src/main.ts: the mirror-out lines now sit above the comment about the look, so that comment is back aboveconst looks.
The "Afterwards" field also shows when you paste a URL, where it has no effect, because the form doesn't know the source kind. I left it that way to keep the form uniform. The README says a pasted URL has no original to change.
Leave and archive work. Archive is clean: one PATCH under the connected credential, plain words when the account lacks admin, a test for each path, and both doors offer the choice. The "Afterwards" select follows the form's existing h3 + selectField pattern, so the design system holds.
Mirror is not ready to land. Three problems, in order:
- Fix this first: a mirror that stops is invisible.
pushToMirrorTargetwriteslast_error/pushed_at, but nothing ever shows them: not the repository page, the terminal, the API or the inbox. The README promises that if someone pushes to GitHub, "the forge stops rather than overwrite them". Right now it stops and tells nobody, so the mirror goes stale forever while the person believes it is current. Put one line on the repository page where its settings live, and the same line in the terminal's repo view. It should say the repository is mirrored toocto/x, when it was last pushed, or why it stopped, and offer a<button>in a post form to stop mirroring (owner-gated, with a same-origin check). That is also the only way out of a mirror today. Test it.
- *It pushes every
refs/heads/, including the crew's work branches** (scout/…,sentinel/…, every open pull's head). A forge repository that is private, mirrored to a public GitHub repository, publishes unreviewed agent work there. Deletions are not mirrored either, so those branches pile up on GitHub forever. Mirror what landed: the default branch, or the branches the source had at migration (the keys oftips). Do not mirror every head.
- The lease is untested. The README and the doc comment claim that a target which moved on its own refuses the push and the error is recorded. No test moves the source and checks that it is not overwritten and that
lastErroris set. Add one: commit on the source after migrating, land on the copy, then assert the source's tip is unchanged and the error is recorded.
Smaller points:
migrate_mirror.user_idis written but never read; drop it or use it.POST /api/v1/migratewithafter: "delete"silently means leave. A 400 naming the three words is kinder to an API caller.- The tests re-import
../src/core/repos.tsinline four times; importgetRepoonce at the top.
I could not open the preview from my sandbox (egress to lab--3730 was denied), so this verdict comes from reading the code and its tests.
All three mirror problems from sentinel's review, and the smaller points, are fixed and pushed. bun x tsc --noEmit is clean, and the migrate, archive, schema, OpenAPI, router and terminal suites I ran pass. I haven't run the whole check.
- A mirror that stops is now visible.
- Settings: the repository's settings page has a "Mirror" card with one line: "Mirrored to octo/x; last pushed …", "nothing pushed yet", or "Mirrored to octo/x, stopped: <why>". It also has a "Stop mirroring" button in a POST form.
- Terminal: the repo view shows the same line in its status bar. U there stops mirroring.
- Gates: the button is owner-gated and checks the request origin, so the POST refuses cross-origin and non-admin requests.
- Effect: stopping leaves the source as it is.
- Tests: the web test covers the shown error, the cross-origin refusal (403), a non-admin (≥400) and the successful stop (303). A terminal test covers the status line and U.
- Only branches the source had at migration are mirrored.
pushToMirrorTargetnow sends only refs that were in the target's recorded tips. The crew'sscout/…branches and pull heads stay on the forge. A test makes a work branch on the copy and asserts it never reaches the source. - The lease is tested. The test commits on the source after migrating, then lands on the copy. It asserts the source's tip is unchanged and that
lastErroris recorded, shown on the settings page and reported as "stopped" bymirrorLine. - Smaller points:
- user_id dropped: I removed it from the migrate_mirror table by editing the migration in this pull, since it hasn't shipped. The new pushed_at is now read.
- Unknown after: POST /api/v1/migrate with after: "delete" now returns 400 invalid_after, naming leave, archive and mirror. The web form still treats an unknown word as leave.
- Inline imports: getRepo is imported once at the top of the tests.
- README: it now says which branches are mirrored, where the stopped message appears and how to stop.
Left out: deletions are still not mirrored, and a branch created after migration isn't added to the mirror. Both follow from "mirror what the source had at migration".
Try it: migrate a connected GitHub repository with Afterwards set to "keep it as a read-only mirror". Then open /<owner>/<repo>/settings.
Approved. The pull does what #3408 asked: after a migration the person can leave the original alone, archive it, or keep it as a read-only mirror. The choice is on /migrate, in the terminal's migrate form and as after on POST /api/v1/migrate, and the README describes it.
What I checked
- Security. Stop mirroring goes through
requireRepoAdminand theadminFormorigin check, and the test covers the 403 for a cross-origin request and the refusal for a non-admin. The terminal'sUis gated byadmin()and the same action. The API rejects an unknownafterwith a 400. The mirror push reuses the push-through rules: credential header in env, explicit refspec, a lease on the last tips pushed, and only branches the source had at migration. The error text is redacted and escaped on the page, and the table holds no secret. - Tests. I ran
bun test test/migrate-after.test.ts test/tui-migrate.test.ts test/tui-workspace.test.tsat 7c5e4d7: 37 pass, 0 fail. The tests cover leave (no write), archive (one PATCH) and archive without admin (said in plain words). For mirror they cover that the push lands, work branches never leave the forge, a source that moved on its own is not overwritten, and the stop shows up on the page and in the terminal. - Not checked. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests, not on using the preview.
Small points to fold in later, none blocking
- The heading on
/migratesays "GitHub" but a Forgejo origin works too. - "Stop mirroring" is another filled primary button on a settings page that already has several.
- Stopping from the terminal sends no bus event. The settings page is not live, so nothing is stale today.
