Closes #13
Roadmap parent: #10

Summary

Adds a read-only MCP tool gitea_get_profile that reports the active runtime execution profile, so an LLM can inspect what the current process is configured to do before deciding whether an action should be attempted later.

Returned safe metadata:

profile_name
allowed_operations, forbidden_operations
audit_label
token_source_name — a name only (e.g. GITEA_TOKEN), never a value
base_url, remote, resolved server
authenticated_username (optional, read-only lookup)
identity_status — verified / unknown / unavailable / not_resolved

Behavior:

Read-only — no mutation; never approves/merges/comments/creates.
Fails soft on identity — if the username can't be resolved, it's null and identity_status marks it, but the profile config is still returned (inspectable). Unknown remote is marked unknown with a remote_error, not raised.
No secrets — never returns token value, Authorization header, password, raw env, or credential paths.

Supporting change: gitea_auth.get_profile() extended to read three new non-secret env fields — GITEA_FORBIDDEN_OPERATIONS, GITEA_AUDIT_LABEL, GITEA_TOKEN_SOURCE (name only). gitea_whoami output is unchanged.

Files changed (5, +195/-8)

File	Change
`mcp_server.py`	new `gitea_get_profile` tool (+70)
`gitea_auth.py`	`get_profile()` gains `forbidden_operations`, `audit_label`, `token_source_name`
`.env.example`	document the 3 new optional metadata vars
`README.md`	tool-table row + env-table rows
`tests/test_mcp_server.py`	`TestProfileDiscovery` (7 tests) + adjusted one #19 assertion (see note)

Validation

git diff --check → clean.
python3 -m py_compile mcp_server.py tests/test_mcp_server.py gitea_auth.py → OK.
pytest tests/test_mcp_server.py → 41 passed.
Secret scan on additions → no real tokens (placeholders / test synthetic super-secret-token, asserted absent from output).
Manual: no auth headers in output, no raw env dump, no credential paths, no unrelated files.

Explicit statements

No real secrets added — .env.example/tests use placeholders; real .env* stays gitignored.
No multi-token switching inside one runtime.
No PR eligibility / review / merge workflow added — those are #14/#15/#16.
No Jenkins/Ops/GlitchTip/Release/deploy behavior added.

Note on the adjusted #19 test

get_profile() now legitimately returns a token_source_name field (a non-secret name). The old #19 test asserted the substring "token" never appears in the dict repr — too broad now that a non-secret field name contains it. Updated to assert the token value never appears and that token_source_name is None when unset. Intent (token value never leaks) is preserved and strengthened.

Scoped to #13 only. Does not touch #14–#18. Do not merge — awaiting independent review.

feat: add read-only gitea_get_profile discovery tool (#13 ) 38c96d5815

Add a read-only MCP tool that reports the active runtime execution
profile so an LLM can inspect what the current process is configured to
do before deciding whether to attempt an action later.

- gitea_get_profile: returns profile_name, allowed/forbidden operation
  categories, audit_label, token_source_name (a NAME, never a value),
  base_url, remote, resolved server, and — optionally — the verified
  authenticated username. Identity resolution fails soft and marks
  identity_status (verified/unknown/unavailable/not_resolved); the
  profile config is always returned. Never mutates Gitea.
- gitea_auth.get_profile(): extended with forbidden_operations,
  audit_label, token_source_name from env (non-secret metadata).
- .env.example / README: document the new optional metadata vars and
  the discovery tool.
- tests: metadata parsing, verified/unavailable/unknown identity paths,
  skip-identity, and secret-redaction.

Read-only. No token exposure. No multi-token switching. No PR
eligibility, review, or merge workflow. No Jenkins/Ops/GlitchTip/
Release/deploy behavior.

Independent review for issue #13 is held due reviewer eligibility.

Validation performed:

PR #23 is open and targets master.
Authenticated Gitea account is jcwalker3, which matches the PR author, so I cannot approve this PR from this account.
Head reviewed: 38c96d5.
Changed files verified exactly: .env.example, README.md, gitea_auth.py, mcp_server.py, tests/test_mcp_server.py.
git fetch --all --prune completed.
git diff --check prgs/master...38c96d5 passed.
git diff --name-only prgs/master...38c96d5 returned only the expected files.
python3 -m py_compile mcp_server.py tests/test_mcp_server.py gitea_auth.py passed.
pytest tests/test_mcp_server.py passed: 41 passed.
git check-ignore .env.personal || true confirmed .env.personal is ignored.
git check-ignore .env.example || true returned no output, as expected for the tracked example file.

Manual review notes:

gitea_get_profile is read-only and only attempts a GET to /api/v1/user for optional identity resolution; it does not create/update/delete/comment/approve/merge/label/push/deploy/rollback/restart/migrate anything.
Returned profile metadata is limited to descriptive fields: profile name, allowed/forbidden operation categories, audit label, token source name, base/server URL, remote, authenticated username when verified, and identity status.
No token value, authorization header, password, raw environment dump, credential file path, or secret material is returned.
Identity lookup exceptions are swallowed into identity_status: "unavailable"; README/tool docs describe profile metadata as descriptive/inspectable and do not present unavailable identity as eligible for mutation.
token_source_name is operator-declared metadata only; no automatic secret path discovery or token value exposure found.
The adjusted #19 test preserves the original token-value non-leakage check while allowing the non-secret field name token_source_name.
.env.example uses placeholders/example-invalid values only.
No unrelated #14-#18 implementation, PR eligibility checks, review/approve/merge workflow, operation enforcement, multi-token switching, Jenkins/Ops/GlitchTip/Release/deploy/rollback/migration/restart/production behavior found.

Blocker: reviewer is ineligible from the current authenticated Gitea account (jcwalker3). A different reviewer account is required to approve.
