Watch a repo for commits pushed by anyone but me

The bot only ever saw pull requests, so a collaborator with write access who pushes straight to master was invisible: 18 of the last 50 commits on ten31-brand's master arrived that way, unreviewed and unannounced. Opt-in per repo (watch_pushes + [gitea] my_emails). Each poll cycle it pages commits newer than a stored cursor across every branch except ones with an open PR, keeps the commits whose git email isn't mine, posts a notice naming author, branch, commits and files, records them, and only then runs a claude -p assessment threaded under it. Identity comes from the git email because these commits aren't linked to Gitea accounts. The notice is deterministic Gitea data and the "outside the expected area" flag is computed from globs, so the thing you actually need never depends on a model call. Recording before the assessment is what stops a crash in those minutes from reposting the whole notice. Both prompts now put every attacker-authored field — titles, commit subjects, filenames, the diff — inside a nonce-tagged fence, so a forged terminator can't reach the instruction region. Folds in the ROADMAP item to bound two unbounded awaits and exit if the poll task dies, and adds the repo's first test: the watch policy against a real-shaped Gitea fixture, with 17 mutations confirmed to fail it.

  because the bot merges with `force_merge: true` (proven on ten31-site PR #4 against this exact rule
  shape). Tell a collaborator that "1 approval required" is expected, not stuck. Post-merge publishing
  is opt-in per repo (`[repo.<name>].deploy_on_merge`); without it a merge merges and redacts, nothing more.
 - **Push watch (opt-in per repo):** notifies whenever someone who isn't me pushes commits, and posts a
  `claude -p` assessment of what they did. Turn on with `[repo.<name>].watch_pushes = true` plus
  `[gitea] my_emails` (my commit emails — anyone *not* on that list notifies, so an unrecognised
  address surfaces rather than slips through; these repos' commits aren't linked to Gitea accounts,
  the API returns `author: null`, so the **git email is the only identity that works**). Optional
  `[repo.<name>].expected_paths` globs mark the collaborator's expected territory; files outside it
  are flagged in the notice (deterministically, not by the model) and called out to the assessor.
  Shape: **notify first, assess second** — the notice posts immediately, the commits are recorded in
  `state/` *before* the assessment starts, and the assessment lands as a threaded reply. Scope is
  every branch *except* branches with an open PR; the default branch is walked first, so a commit
  reachable from several branches is reported as being on `master` rather than on some stale branch.
  On first run the watch arms at "now" (it never replays history into the room); to force a test,
  backdate `watch.since` in `state/rooms.json`.
  - **Why the ordering:** recording before the assessment is what stops a crash, a restart or a send
    error in those minutes from reposting the whole notice and re-running the assessment. The cost is
    the opposite failure — a crash mid-assessment leaves a bare "_Assessing…_" in the room with no
    retry. Preferred deliberately: a missing assessment is visible, a duplicate one is noise.
  - **What it says out loud rather than logging:** more than `WATCH_MAX_PAGES × WATCH_COMMIT_LIMIT`
    (150) commits arriving at once, and a commit whose file list Gitea didn't return (the path check
    is then incomplete, and it must never print the all-clear).
  - **Bounds:** ≤`WATCH_MAX_BATCHES` (2) assessments per repo per cycle, each ≤`[defaults]
    watch_timeout_seconds` (480s; a real two-commit run with one panel subagent measured 173s), so a
    busy push can hold the other rooms' polling for ~16 min worst case — the head-of-line cost ROADMAP
    Phase 3 tracks, now bounded rather than open-ended. Held-over batches keep their commits out of
    `seen` and pin the `since` cursor, so they go out next cycle; after `WATCH_GIVEUP_HOURS` (48) the
    bot stops pinning and logs what it gave up on, so an unsendable batch can't freeze the watch.
  - **Merging a PR banks its commits** (`remember_pr_commits`, including the merge commit Gitea
    creates), whether it was merged from the thread or in Gitea's web UI — otherwise those commits
    land on `master` and read as a fresh push of work the review already covered.
  - **What it is not:** the author check reads the git email, which anyone can set. It is an
    accountability aid for a cooperative collaborator, not an authentication boundary. And push
    notices are *not* redactable — `clear` only reaches PR threads, so they accumulate as a log.
 - **Tests:** `python3 tests/test_watch.py` — no pytest, no deps, stubs matrix-nio. Covers the push
  watch's *policy*: who gets reported, cross-branch dedupe, the `since` cursor, the path flag, and
  that every attacker-authored field lands inside the prompt's fence. 17 mutations of `src/bot.py`
  were each confirmed to flip it to FAIL (2026-08-21). What it does **not** cover is the orchestration
  inside `watch_repo` — the record-before-assess ordering, the per-cycle cap, held batches — because
  that lives in closures over the live clients; those are verified by exercising the bot in a real
  room, which is still how everything else here is verified.
 - **Prove the poll loop is alive** (silence is normal — the loop logs only on a review or an error, so
  a healthy bot can go days without a line). Sample the Spark's host socket table fast enough to catch
  a poll: `end=$((SECONDS+130)); while [ $SECONDS -lt $end ]; do case "$(cat /proc/net/tcp)" in *EE73*)

 ## Sovereignty
 **Untrusted input.** A PR's title/description and a pushed commit's subjects, filenames and diff are
 written by someone else and go to `claude -p` running on the Mac, in the owner's checkout, under the
 owner's OAuth token. Both prompts put *every* such field inside one `UNTRUSTED DATA <nonce>` fence
 with a per-run random tag, so a forged terminator can't close it, and instruct the model to report
 rather than obey anything inside. That is the cheap half; the tool-policy half (an explicit read-only
 `--allowedTools` on that run) needs a matrix-bridge change and is the top ROADMAP item.
 Reviews send PR diffs to `claude -p` (the subscription), not a frontier API on payload data; that's
 acceptable for code review of these repos. Before pointing the bot at a repo with sensitive content,
 revisit this — local inference via Spark Control would be the path.

  Both prompts now fence the diff as untrusted data, which is the cheap half; the real fix is an
  explicit read-only tool policy (`--allowedTools Read,Grep,Glob,Task`) on that run. It needs a
  **matrix-bridge change** (a `MB_CLAUDE_TOOLS` env passthrough alongside the existing
  `MB_CLAUDE_MODEL`/`MB_CLAUDE_EFFORT`), so it is a two-repo change and affects the PR review path
