Grant Whitmer 82044933ed G2/G4 complete: Gitea live, LFS landing in R2, four traps pinned
VERIFIED END TO END from outside the network:
  - create repo via API -> clone -> commit -> push -> read back over HTTPS
  - 3 MB LFS object pushed through the tunnel, landed in R2 at lfs/34/2d/...
  - NO local lfs/ directory on the host: I-3 confirmed by measurement
  - /health/full: db, gitea and r2 all green

Adds strand G4A recording four traps that each cost a crash loop, with tests:
  1. [lfs] STORAGE_TYPE creates a separate storage section that does not
     inherit [storage] — crash loop, error names the symptom not the cause
  2. storage backend != LFS enabled; LFS_START_SERVER is separate, and its
     absence reads as a permissions error
  3. Gitea env-to-ini SETS but never UNSETS — removing a compose var leaves the
     line in the persisted app.ini, so repo config and prod config silently
     disagree. Exactly the drift this cell exists to end.
  4. R2 rejects the default S3 checksum algorithm

And G4A.5, which is architecture rather than a bug: an 8 MB non-LFS push died
with HTTP 524 at Cloudflare's ~100s limit. This makes the LFS threshold
load-bearing and REQUIRES G10 to serve model weights via presigned R2 URLs
rather than proxying blobs through the tunnel — client straight to R2, which is
what Hugging Face does and which takes Grant's home upstream out of the path.

G2.4: Gitea's MIT text and a NOTICE now travel with the repo.

Third-party notices — Windy Git

Windy Git runs stock Gitea as an unforked component (D-2 / I-1). Gitea is distributed under the MIT license, reproduced in gitea-MIT.txt.

MIT's only obligation is that the copyright notice and license text travel with copies of the software that are distributed. Running Windy Git as a hosted service is not distribution, so strictly this file is not required today — it is here anyway, because it will be required the moment a self-host bundle ships, and because shipping it costs nothing.

MIT does not require us to advertise the lineage, does not restrict commercial use, and does not require publishing our modifications. That last point is why Gitea (MIT) was chosen over Forgejo (GPLv3 from v9): GPLv3 does not trigger on running a service — that is AGPL, and it is widely gotten wrong — but it does trigger on distributing a binary, which the self-host line would do.

Gitea's trademarks are not used. The product is branded Windy Git throughout.
