The front end was 100% stock Gitea: green teacup, "Gitea: Git with a cup of
tea", "A painless, self-hosted Git service". G2.3 was specified in the plan with
an acceptance test and never executed, and nothing enforced it.
Now: Windy Git name, wind-mark logo, brand-blue accent, and a landing page that
says what this actually is. Uses Gitea's SUPPORTED surface (custom templates +
public assets) so upstream upgrades keep arriving — no source modified (D-2/I-1).
Two traps this cost, both now documented and tested:
1. GITEA__DEFAULT__APP_NAME does not work. Gitea reads APP_NAME from the TOP
LEVEL of app.ini; the env var created a literal [default] section that Gitea
ignores, so the installer's stock APP_NAME kept winning while the config
looked correct. The env-to-ini pass also APPENDED a second APP_NAME rather
than replacing the first — a new variant of the documented G4A.3 trap.
2. Cloudflare caches /assets/* for 6h and no token in this stack can purge, so
the new logo and CSS were invisible while being correct at origin. Brand
assets now carry a VERSION IN THE FILENAME; bump it on every change.
Committed with an idempotent apply.sh, because applying it straight to Veron's
disk first was itself the config-drift trap this project documents: a rebuild
would have silently reverted to stock Gitea.
85 tests green.
