The kimi agent user has read-only permission on the repository ("permission":"read"), which prevents pushing branches and creating PRs via either:

  1. git push - fails with "User permission denied for writing"
  2. Gitea API file update - fails with "user should have a permission to write to the target branch"

Impact

Kimi agents cannot complete the standard workflow:

  • Create feature branch → Push → Create PR

Workaround Used

For #1136, I had to:

  1. Complete the refactoring locally
  2. Commit to local branch kimi/issue-1136
  3. Comment on issue with completion status
  4. Request manual intervention for PR creation

Suggested Fix

Upgrade kimi user permission from read to write to allow:

  • Branch creation
  • File updates via API
  • PR creation

This would enable the full agent workflow as documented in AGENTS.md.

Verified: kimi user has permission on the repository (confirmed via API). The issue may have been the kimi agent's local git credentials or token rather than repo-level permissions. The repo permission is correctly set to .

If kimi's agent loop still can't push, the issue is likely its git remote URL or authentication token — not Gitea permissions. Closing as the reported permission gap doesn't exist.
