The independent review reproduced a real hole: the production first-bind path
never pinned repository/org, so the drift checks it feeds were skipped.
Root cause
----------
gitea_whoami, gitea_get_runtime_context, gitea_resolve_task_capability and
gitea_activate_profile all seeded the session context without repository or
org. First-bind-wins then made the mutation gate's later seed a no-op, and
assess_session_context only compares repository/org when the bound fields are
non-null. Result, reproduced in production order with the real REMOTES:
after whoami: repository=None org=None
same-host repo=Other-Tools -> NOT BLOCKED
same-host org=Other-Org -> NOT BLOCKED
cross-host -> blocked (this part always worked)
Binding REMOTES defaults would not fix it: REMOTES['prgs'].repo is 'Timesheet'
(a default *target*, not an authorization scope, see #530), so pinning it fails
closed on every legitimate Gitea-Tools mutation. There was no trusted source
for repository scope, so this adds one.
Design
------
- New optional profile field `allowed_repositories`: canonical owner/repository
slugs. An authorization boundary, never the binding itself. Config-only —
no env var can widen or forge it.
- The session repository is derived from the verified, workspace-aligned git
remote, never from caller-supplied org/repo, and validated against that
allowlist. The session binds immutably to exactly one canonical slug; org is
derived from it. A profile authorizing several repositories still binds to
the single verified one.
- Every first-bind entry point now pins the same complete context. Activation
rejects an unauthorized/unverifiable workspace. Mutations fail closed when
repository/org is unverified, and a tool-level org/repo override that
disagrees with the binding is rejected before the write.
- A mutation request can no longer establish, complete, or replace the binding
(it previously seeded from `org or REMOTES[...]`, i.e. caller-controlled).
- Enforcement is opt-in per profile: a profile without the field keeps prior
behaviour, so existing static-profile namespaces stay functional.
First-bind-wins, immutability, the RLock, profile isolation, host/identity
validation and the private pytest-only reset are unchanged.
gitea_auth.get_profile() built an explicit whitelist dict and silently dropped
`allowed_repositories`; the new integration tests caught that the scope was
never enforced through the real path.
Tests
-----
New tests/test_issue_714_production_first_bind.py drives the real entry points
in production order rather than constructing _SessionContext directly. Covers
complete first bind via each entry point, same-host repo/org drift, Timesheet
and other-repo/other-org rejection, unverified and unauthorized workspaces,
caller values unable to establish the binding, concurrent init selecting one
repository, and the PR #715 author path staying functional. Mutation-verified:
disabling trusted derivation, override validation, the scope check, or the
get_profile passthrough each fails these tests (9/8/4/5 failures).
No security assertion was weakened, removed, skipped, or rewritten.

- Add aliases 'issue.comment' and 'issue_comment' to GITEA_OPERATION_ALIASES so short names normalize to gitea.issue.comment
- Grant 'issue.comment' (and short) in v2 example profiles for example-author and example-reviewer
- Grant in gitea-mcp.example.json mdcps-reviewer
- Update docs example profiles
- Add test coverage for new aliases and normalization
This enables gitea_create_issue_comment and list for profiles that include it, while preserving fail-closed for others and separation of duties (issue.comment does not imply pr.review etc).
Closes#137
Support the canonical contexts-shape version 2 config (contexts / profiles /
projects / rules) alongside the existing environments shape and v1:
- Require a boolean 'enabled' on every context, profile, service, and
project. Disabled entries are surfaced in audits but fail closed at
selection/resolution — never a silent fallback to another profile,
service, or credential source.
- Resolve the active identity from GITEA_MCP_PROFILE via the existing
select_profile path; profile base_url falls back to the context's enabled
gitea block.
- Add resolve_service() and project_for_path() for context service and
project-to-context resolution (internal use; fail closed on disabled).
- get_auth_header now propagates ConfigError when GITEA_MCP_CONFIG is set
instead of silently degrading to Basic auth.
- Hide endpoint URLs and keychain ids from normal LLM-facing output:
gitea_whoami / gitea_get_profile report logical names and auth status
only; new gitea_audit_config tool reports enabled/disabled state and safe
one-line service summaries. The GITEA_MCP_REVEAL_ENDPOINTS opt-in (and
'python3 gitea_config.py audit --reveal-endpoints' locally) restores
endpoints and auth source names for admin diagnostics; token values are
never printed on any path.
- Ship gitea-mcp.v2-contexts.example.json (synthetic values) and validate
it in tests.
Implements #120
