description: Read and synchronize exact Blacksite Gitea issues, epics, and milestones with current scope, implementation state, verification evidence, canonical documentation, and release-candidate status while avoiding duplicate issues and noisy updates.

# Blacksite Gitea synchronization

Read `.codex/workflow.toml` and [the state model](references/gitea-state-model.md). Use the configured Gitea connector; do not scrape or invent tracker state.

Supported modes are `read`, `plan`, `status`, `scope-delta`, `candidate`, and `close`.

1. Read exact known issue, parent epic, milestone, and recent relevant comments first. Search broadly only to locate an unknown item or prevent a duplicate.
2. Summarize acceptance locally and create a dry-run mutation plan before every write.
3. Follow configured permissions. Creation and scope/milestone changes require explicit authority; closure is candidate-only; delete/reopen is explicit.
4. Add at most one meaningful status comment per completed slice.
5. Distinguish working-tree implementation from engineering-complete, acceptance-in-progress, candidate-ready, and closure evidence.
6. Mark acceptance only when code, focused tests, and required native/package evidence exist and remain valid.
7. On failure, re-read the exact item, detect partial success, and retry only the missing operation.

Never push or close as a side effect. Record remote mutations and their readback in session state.
