• API Compatibility What this answers: “will this madtea feature work against my server?” — madtea features × the Gitea and Forgejo REST APIs — plus the maintainer view: tracking drift between the two platforms.
• CLI Comparison What this answers: which client covers what, for someone — human or agent — picking a forge CLI. It compares madtea against the four relevant clients, feature by feature:
• Security Policy If you find a security issue in madtea — credential leak, authentication bypass, code execution via crafted input, etc. — please report it privately rather than opening a public issue.
• Token Permissions What scopes to enable on your Forgejo/Gitea personal-access token.
• Why madtea Other forge CLIs wrap the API. madtea wraps the workflow — and it is built on the assumption that an AI agent with shell access may be driving it.
