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.

The version, permission, and provenance plane over Windy Cloud — and a code and model host that rolls out the red carpet for Eternitas-credentialed agents.
Status
GENESIS. Stake in the ground, 2026-08-11. No code yet. The plan is the artifact.
👉 DNA_STRAND_MASTER_PLAN.md is the source of truth. Read it before writing a line.
What this is
GitHub is hostile to agents in exactly the way Gmail is hostile to bots. An agent on GitHub wears a human's clothes: it borrows a human's token, inherits a human's permissions, has no independent standing, no spend limit, no revocation story, and no verifiable track record.
Windy Git makes the agent a citizen — it pushes as itself, under its own Eternitas passport, with its own scoped credential, its own limits, and a signature anyone downstream can verify.
One substrate, three repo types:
| Type | Contents | Ships |
|---|---|---|
code |
source, sites, projects | v1 |
model |
weights, LoRA adapters, model cards | v2 |
dataset |
corpora, eval sets | v2 |
Second mission, and it arrives first: both August 2026 audits converged on one root cause — nothing anywhere checks whether a decision reached production — because GitHub Actions is billing-locked and private repos can't run Actions at all, even self-hosted. Windy Git brings CI back on our own hardware. That payoff lands on day one with zero customers.
The nine locked decisions
Full reasoning in §0.7 of the plan. Do not re-litigate without an ADR.
| Decision | |
|---|---|
| D-1 | Separate repo, separate brand, shared billing — never a seventh Stripe ladder |
| D-2 | Membrane, not merge. Do not hard-fork Gitea; build beside it against its API |
| D-3 | Gitea (MIT), not Forgejo (GPLv3 ≥ v9) — the self-host installer is why |
| D-4 | Veron 1 first. Cloudflare Tunnel. Never Kit 0. |
| D-5 | Three storage tiers: git objects local · heavy bytes on R2 · GitHub mirror |
| D-6 | repo_type is a first-class column from migration 001 |
| D-7 | HF_ENDPOINT compatibility is the cheapest real moat available |
| D-8 | The permissions plane ships before the git protocol |
| D-9 | Vocabulary law — see below |
D-9 · Vocabulary law
"Git" is never a countable noun. There is no such thing as "a Git."
Git is the program. A moment in time is a commit; a named one is a tag or release; the container is a repo.
| Say | Never say |
|---|---|
| Windy Git | Windy GitHub, WindyGit |
| a version / a save point (general audience) | a Git |
| a commit (developers) | a Git |
| a repo / a project | a Git |
This binds all copy, UI strings, docs, marketing and stage material. make check enforces it (codon G12.6).
Architecture in one breath
Stock Gitea (unforked, MIT) supplies the commodity half — git, LFS, PRs, CI. Our FastAPI service beside it supplies the product: the permissions plane over Windy Cloud, the Eternitas agent layer, the MCP surface, provenance, and the Hugging-Face-compatible model endpoint. Git objects live on Veron 1's NVMe; everything heavy lives on Cloudflare R2 at zero egress; every repo mirrors to GitHub, always.
app.windygit.com → the forge (Gitea UI + git over HTTPS)
api.windygit.com → our plane (/api/v1/repos, MCP, provenance)
models.windygit.com → HF-compatible endpoint (v2)
windygit.com → marketing (windy-git-site) — Grant-gated
Cell boundaries
Sibling cells: windy-cloud (kernel — hardened substrate, DO NOT grow it), windy-cloud-sites, windy-cloud-domains, windy-cloud-vps.
The membrane is enumerated in invariant I-2 and mirrored in docs/MEMBRANE.v1.md. Additions edit the invariant first.
Scale of the problem, measured
| Repos to migrate | 61 |
| Working trees | 11 GB |
| Actual git objects | 0.63 GB — all history, all branches, forever |
| Host (v0) | Veron 1 — 24 cores, 251 GB RAM, 978 GB free, load 1.52 |
| Cost (v0) | $0/month |
License
Our code: TBD before first external contribution. Gitea ships under MIT and its notice travels with any distribution — see LICENSES/ (codon G2.4).
