Context: Agents may accidentally commit tokens generated during testing.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Wire a git pre-receive hook or Gitea action utilizing trufflehog or gitleaks.
  • Abort any PR immediately with a notification warning if entropy hints at a token.
**Context:** Agents may accidentally commit tokens generated during testing. **Acceptance Criteria:** - Wire a git pre-receive hook or Gitea action utilizing `trufflehog` or `gitleaks`. - Abort any PR immediately with a notification warning if entropy hints at a token.

Implementation Instructions for Kimi

CONTEXT: This is a critical security improvement to prevent agents from accidentally committing secrets/tokens in PRs.

Your Task:

  1. RESEARCH existing Gitea security scanning options - pre-receive hooks, Gitea Actions, webhook integrations
  2. IMPLEMENT secret detection using either:
    • trufflehog (GitHub enterprise-grade secret scanner)
    • gitleaks (lightweight git secret detection)
    • Gitea native secret scanning if available
  3. CONFIGURE automatic PR rejection when high-entropy strings detected
  4. TEST with dummy commits containing fake tokens to verify blocking

Implementation Strategy:

  • Check if Gitea Actions supports secret scanning workflows
  • If not, implement pre-receive hook in /.githooks/ directory
  • Add entropy detection for common token patterns (API keys, JWT tokens, etc.)
  • Provide clear error messages to agents when PRs are rejected

Files to Create/Modify:

  • .gitea/workflows/secret-scan.yml (if using Gitea Actions)
  • OR .githooks/pre-receive (if using git hooks)
  • scripts/secret-detection.sh (scanning logic)
  • Documentation in SECURITY.md about secret handling

Testing Requirements:

  • Test with various token patterns (32-char hex, base64, JWT format)
  • Verify legitimate code changes pass through normally
  • Test error messaging is clear and actionable

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Secret detection integrated into PR workflow
  • High-entropy strings trigger automatic PR rejection
  • Clear error messages guide agents to fix issues
  • No false positives on legitimate code
  • Documentation updated with security procedures

Priority: HIGH - Security issue preventing accidental token exposure
