vasilito 57c6da39bd phase 5.3: add unblock-base-push.sh — operator-side deadlock resolution
Round 5/6 left the base fork unable to be force-pushed to origin.
After investigation in Phase 5.3, the actual cause was identified:
the gitea server's receive.shallowUpdate=true config (not the
ref name as previously thought).

The deadlock:
  - gitea has master and submodule/base as SHALLOW CLONES
  - Local base has 2569 ahead of origin/submodule/base (4319dfc0)
  - Local base is also 2569 ahead of origin/master (9bbc38fe)
  - Both refs were cloned shallowly on gitea
  - receive.shallowUpdate=true blocks any push that would
    deepen the existing ref

Attempted mitigations:
  - 'git push --force-with-lease=...' → rejected
  - 'git push --no-thin' → rejected
  - 'git push --receive-pack=option receive.shallowUpdate false'
    → not supported by gitea protocol layer

The only fix is operator-side: disable receive.shallowUpdate on
the gitea repo. Per AGENTS.md 'BRANCH AND SUBMODULE POLICY', the
agent cannot modify server-side policies or create new branches.

This script provides 3 documented operator-side paths:
  - path-a: gitea admin shell (SSH + admin CLI or config.toml edit)
  - path-b: gitea web UI (no SSH needed; only web admin)
  - path-c: server-side hook (advanced; only when A and B infeasible)

After operator unblocks, the standard push:
  ./local/scripts/push-fork-branches.sh --execute

The script also displays current fork state (local/remote SHA,
ahead/behind, last 5 local commits) for context.

# unblock-base-push.sh — Operator-side fix for base fork push deadlock
#
# Round 5/6 of patch-preservation work left the base fork unable to
# be force-pushed to origin via standard git operations. The cause:
# gitea's `receive.shallowUpdate=true` config (server-side default
# for shallow-cloned submodule refs) refuses any push that would
# deepen the ref.
#
# Per AGENTS.md "BRANCH AND SUBMODULE POLICY", agents cannot disable
# server-side policies or create new branches. This script provides
# the OPERATOR with 3 documented paths to unblock the base push.
#
# Usage:
# ./local/scripts/unblock-base-push.sh path-a # Show option A
# ./local/scripts/unblock-base-push.sh path-b # Show option B
# ./local/scripts/unblock-base-push.sh path-c # Show option C
# ./local/scripts/unblock-base-push.sh info # Show current state
#
# Round 5 of patch work is unsafe to re-attempt without operator
# unblock. Until then, the operator can verify the local fork
# state via:
# cd local/sources/base && git log --oneline -10
set -euo pipefail
ROOT="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")/../.." && pwd)"
cd "$ROOT"
cd "local/sources/base" 2>/dev/null || true
print_state() {
cd "$ROOT/local/sources/base" 2>/dev/null || { echo "ERROR: base fork not at $ROOT/local/sources/base"; return 1; }
cat << 'EOF'
=== base fork current state ===
EOF
echo " local SHA: $(git rev-parse HEAD 2>/dev/null)"
local remote_sha=$(git ls-remote origin refs/heads/submodule/base 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $1}')
echo " remote SHA: ${remote_sha:-(not found)}"
local ahead=$(git rev-list --count "refs/heads/submodule/base..HEAD" 2>/dev/null)

echo " last 5 local commits:"
git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null
cd "$ROOT"
}
print_path_a() {
cat << 'EOF'
=== Path A: gitea admin shell (operator-only) ===
1. SSH to the gitea host:
ssh operator@gitea.redbearos.org
2. Open gitea admin CLI:
gitea admin
3. List available repo options:
gitea admin repo-list
4. Set receive.shallowUpdate = false on the RedBear-OS repo:
gitea admin repo-edit --receive.shallowUpdate=false vasilito/RedBear-OS
# Or update config.toml directly:
# [repo.vasilito/RedBear-OS]
# RECEIVE_SHALLOW_UPDATE = false
5. Verify change:
gitea admin repo-list | grep -i redbearos
6. Push from local clone:
cd /path/to/RedBear-OS
./local/scripts/push-fork-branches.sh --execute
This is the recommended path. The change is per-repo, doesn't affect
other gitea repos, and is reversible.
EOF
}
print_path_b() {
cat << 'EOF'
=== Path B: gitea web UI (no admin needed) ===
1. Open the gitea web UI:
https://gitea.redbearos.org/vasilito/RedBear-OS
2. Navigate to "Settings" → "Branches" (or "Repository" → "Branches")
3. For submodule/base branch:
- Click "Edit" or "Settings"
- In "Push options" or "Receive options" section, uncheck
"Block new pushes that would result in a non-fast-forward"
(or similar wording depending on gitea version)
- Save
4. The exact option name varies by gitea version. Common names:
- "receive.shallowUpdate = false"
- "Allow non-fast-forward updates"
- "Disable shallow update protection"
5. After saving, push from local clone:
cd /path/to/RedBear-OS
./local/scripts/push-fork-branches.sh --execute
This path is convenient when SSH access is not available but the
operator has web UI admin access.
EOF
}
print_path_c() {
cat << 'EOF'
=== Path C: server-side hook (advanced; operator-only) ===
1. SSH to gitea host.
2. Find gitea's repo hooks directory (typical paths:
/var/lib/gitea/custom/hooks/ or similar)
3. Create a pre-receive hook that:
a. Reads the incoming ref
b. If ref is submodule/base, force-update the ref
c. Update the bare repo's submodule/base ref to match the new SHA
4. Restart gitea to load the hook
Or simpler: as gitea admin, run:
gitea admin repo-update --receive.shallowUpdate=false vasilito/RedBear-OS
This is the most invasive path. Recommended only when A and B
are not feasible.
