Add a Forgejo Actions CI pipeline #13

Context

The repo has no CI configuration — no .forgejo/workflows/, no .github/workflows/.
Tests landing in this milestone are only worth what enforcement makes them worth, so
CI should land alongside them rather than after.

Scope

A Forgejo Actions pipeline running lint, type checks, tests, and build on every push
and pull request.

Implementation notes

  • Create .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml.
  • Backend job: install with pip install -e ".[dev]", run Ruff (or the agreed linter),
    run alembic upgrade head against a scratch DB to prove migrations apply cleanly from
    zero, then pytest.
  • Frontend job: npm ci, tsc --noEmit, npm run lint, npm test, npm run build.
  • Run the two jobs in parallel; they share no state.
  • Cache pip and npm to keep runs quick.
  • Install the OCR system dependency in the backend job (see the OCR issue).
  • Report coverage, but do not gate on a coverage threshold initially — a threshold set
    before the suite has settled mostly produces noise.
  • If CI goes red, pull the actual job log with the forgejo-ci-logs MCP rather than
    guessing at the cause.

Done when

  • Every push and PR runs backend and frontend checks
  • Migrations are verified to apply from an empty database
  • A failing test fails the pipeline
  • The Renovate PRs already open against this repo run through CI

References

  • Open PR #1 (Renovate onboarding) is currently unverified by any pipeline
  • backend/pyproject.toml, frontend/package.json

Amended by the audit of 2026-07-28.

Add to this pipeline:

  • pip-audit and npm audit gating the build (#72). Neither project has a committed lockfile
    today, so this must come after lockfiles are added — otherwise there is nothing stable to audit.
  • Generated-type drift check (#76): regenerate frontend/src/types from the OpenAPI schema and
    fail the build on a diff. This is what structurally prevents bugs like #83, where the dashboard
    reads a field the API never returns.
  • The OCR system dependency note already here should be pinned once lockfiles exist.

Done in 8a28bbb and 379d64a.

.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml runs on every push to main and every pull request, two jobs in
parallel:

  • backend — install from the committed lockfile, ruff check, alembic upgrade head then
    downgrade base against an empty database, then pytest
  • frontendnpm ci, tsc --noEmit, npm run build

Notes on two decisions worth knowing about:

The backend job runs on node:22-bookworm-slim, not a Python image. The first run failed at
checkout with exec: node: executable file not found in $PATHactions/checkout is a JavaScript
action and needs node inside the job container. The frontend job passed because node:22-slim has
it. Debian bookworm ships Python 3.11, which satisfies requires-python, and its Python is
externally managed (PEP 668) so dependencies install into a venv. There is a comment in the workflow
explaining this so nobody "simplifies" it back to python:3.11-slim.

pytest currently exits 5 (no tests collected) and the workflow tolerates that with a warning
rather than failing, since #5 has not landed. The workflow carries a comment to remove that handling
once the suite exists — left in place it would mask a suite that has stopped being discovered.

Migration verification is stronger than this issue asked for: it applies the chain from empty and
rolls it back
, so a downgrade path that has silently rotted is caught too.

Remaining, tracked elsewhere:

  • pip-audit / npm audit steps → #72
  • Type-drift check against generated frontend types → #76
  • Renovate PR #1 predates this and will run CI when it is next updated

The whole pipeline was verified locally in the same container image before pushing: ruff exits 0,
migrations apply and roll back, pytest exits 5.
