fix(ci): retry Vikunja lookups and surface self-approval merge failures

Implements: DEVX-164 REQ-1..3 - get_vikunja_task_title retries list_project_tasks up to 4 attempts with backoff on APIError/RequestException — a Vikunja restart window (404/502) no longer strands an otherwise-valid PR - merge HTTP 405 now fetches PR reviews and, when no APPROVED review exists, explains the same-user self-approval rejection and the remediation (approve via a non-author account) - regression tests for retry-then-success, retry exhaustion, missing task, and all three 405 review states
chore: update badge URLs to commit ef6e8cf7 [skip ci]

+# dependency-graph
+
+Map of the oblachno ecosystem. Knows which repo produces what, which
+repos depend on which, and the correct order for cross-repo changes.
+
+## When to Invoke
+
+Invoke this skill when:
+- Changes span multiple repos
+- A change in one repo requires version bumps in downstream repos
+- Deploying infrastructure that depends on published packages/images
+- Verifying the ecosystem is in a consistent state before deployment
+- Determining which repos to update and in what order
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- All repos cloned under `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/`
+- `.env` with `DEVELOPER_GITEA_API_TOKEN` in each repo

+
+## Repositories
+
+| Repo | Produces | Consumers | Release Trigger |
+|------|----------|-----------|-----------------|
+| `devx` | PyPI package `devx` | grm, sso-bridge, infra | User-facing changes to `src/devx/**` |
+| `grm` | PyPI package `grm` | infra | User-facing changes to `src/grm/**` or `ansible/**` |
+| `sso-bridge` | PyPI package `sso_bridge` + Docker image | infra | User-facing changes to `src/sso_bridge/**` or `ansible/**` |
+| `infra` | Staging/production deployment | (end users) | User-facing changes + nightly gate |
+| `mattermost-oidc` | Docker image `mattermost-oidc` | infra (pulls at deploy) | `Dockerfile` or `build.yml` changes |
+
+## Dependency Chain
+
+### devx → all repos
+
+devx publishes to the Gitea PyPI registry. grm, sso-bridge, and infra
+pin devx in `pyproject.toml`:
+```toml
+"devx @ git+https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/devx.git@vX.Y.Z"
+```
+
+When devx publishes a new version:
+1. grm, sso-bridge, and infra must bump their pinned devx version
+2. This is currently manual — no auto-dependency-PR from devx
+3. Each repo must `make setup` to pick up the new version
+
+### grm → infra
+
+grm publishes to PyPI. Its post-merge workflow auto-creates an infra
+dependency PR via `devx.ci.create_dependency_pr --repo oblachno/infra
+--package grm`. The PR bumps the pinned grm version in infra's
+`pyproject.toml`.
+
+### sso-bridge → infra
+
+sso-bridge publishes to PyPI AND builds a Docker image. Its post-merge
+workflow auto-creates an infra dependency PR via
+`devx.ci.create_dependency_pr --repo oblachno/infra --package
+sso_bridge`. The PR bumps the pinned sso_bridge version.
+
+The Docker image is pulled by infra at deploy time (`sso-bridge:latest`).
+
+### mattermost-oidc → infra
+
+mattermost-oidc builds a Docker image tagged `:latest` and `:MM_VERSION`.
+infra pulls `mattermost-oidc:latest` at deploy time. There is no
+auto-dependency-PR — infra simply pulls the latest image.
+
+### infra → staging/production
+
+infra deploys to staging and production. The deployment:
+1. Provisions VMs from golden images
+2. Runs Ansible roles (including grm and sso-bridge roles)
+3. Pulls Docker images (sso-bridge, mattermost-oidc)
+4. Configures services
+
+## Correct Order for Cross-Repo Changes
+
+When a change spans multiple repos, follow this order:
+
+1. **devx first** — if the change starts in devx, merge and publish devx
+   first. Wait for the PyPI publish job to complete.
+2. **Bump devx in consumers** — in grm/sso-bridge/infra, bump the pinned
+   devx version, run `make setup`, verify tests pass, merge.
+3. **grm/sso-bridge second** — merge and publish grm/sso-bridge. Wait
+   for the PyPI publish + Docker image build to complete.
+4. **Auto-dependency-PRs** — grm/sso-bridge post-merge auto-creates infra
+   PRs to bump pinned versions. Wait for these PRs to appear.
+5. **Merge infra dependency PRs** — review and merge the auto-created
+   infra PRs.
+6. **infra last** — deploy to staging, validate, promote to production.
+
+## State Verification Before Deployment
+
+Before deploying infra, verify:
+
+1. **devx version consistent** — all repos pin the same devx version
+2. **grm published** — latest grm tag exists in PyPI
+3. **sso-bridge published** — latest sso_bridge tag exists in PyPI
+4. **sso-bridge image built** — latest sso-bridge Docker image exists
+5. **mattermost-oidc image built** — latest mattermost-oidc image exists
+6. **infra pins match published versions** — no stale pins
+7. **Nightly gate green** — `NIGHTLY_STATUS` is not `failed`

+# deployment-coordination
+
+How devx releases propagate to downstream repos. devx is the base
+package — all other repos pin it. A devx release must complete before
+consumers can bump.
+
+## When to Invoke
+
+Invoke this skill when:
+- Changes to devx affect downstream repos (grm, sso-bridge, infra)
+- Preparing a devx release that other repos depend on
+- Verifying downstream repos have bumped to the latest devx version
+- Coordinating a multi-repo change that starts in devx
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- devx repo at `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx`
+- `.env` with `DEVELOPER_GITEA_API_TOKEN`
+- See `dependency-graph` skill for the full ecosystem map
+
+## What devx Produces
+
+devx publishes a Python package to the Gitea PyPI registry. Downstream
+repos pin it:
+```toml
+"devx @ git+https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/devx.git@vX.Y.Z"
+```
+
+## Release Flow
+
+1. PR merged to master
+2. Post-merge workflow runs `devx.ci.release` — classifies changes
+3. If user-facing changes: git-cliff bumps version, creates tag, pushes
+4. `devx.ci.publish` builds and publishes to Gitea PyPI registry
+5. Downstream repos must bump their pinned devx version
+
+## Downstream Consumers
+
+| Repo | Pin location | Auto-bump? |
+|------|-------------|------------|
+| grm | `pyproject.toml` | No — manual |
+| sso-bridge | `pyproject.toml` | No — manual |
+| infra | `pyproject.toml` | No — manual |
+
+devx does NOT auto-create dependency PRs in downstream repos. Bumping
+is manual: create a PR in each downstream repo to update the pinned
+version.
+
+## Coordinating a devx Change
+
+When a change to devx affects downstream repos:
+
+1. **Merge devx PR** — wait for post-merge publish to complete
+2. **Verify publish** — check the new tag exists:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $DEVELOPER_GITEA_API_TOKEN" \
+     https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/v1/repos/oblachno-oss/devx/releases/latest \
+     | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('tag_name','?'))"
+   ```
+3. **Bump downstream repos** — for each repo (grm, sso-bridge, infra):
+   - Update `devx @ ...@vX.Y.Z` in `pyproject.toml`
+   - Run `make setup` to install the new version
+   - Run `make pytest-cov` to verify compatibility
+   - Create and merge a PR
+4. **Verify infra deploys** — after infra bumps, verify staging deploy
+   picks up the new devx version
+
+## State Verification
+
+Before starting a devx change, verify current state:
+```bash
+# Current devx version
+grep '__version__' /home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx/src/devx/__init__.py
+
+# What each repo pins
+for repo in grm sso-bridge infra; do
+  echo -n "$repo pins: "
+  grep 'devx @' /home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/$repo/pyproject.toml | grep -oP 'v[\d.]+'
+done
+```
+
+If pins are inconsistent across repos, bump them to the latest published
+version before starting new work.
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+- Merging a devx PR and immediately merging downstream PRs without
+  waiting for the publish job to complete
+- Forgetting to bump infra (it has the most complex deploy pipeline)
+- Bumping only one downstream repo when the change affects all three

+# pr-review
+
+Deep, critical PR review with auto-fix. This skill guides the agent
+through a thorough review of a pull request, posting inline comments
+for each issue found, auto-fixing them, resolving the discussion threads,
+and marking the PR as ready-to-merge when no blocking issues remain.
+
+## When to Invoke
+
+Invoke this skill when asked to review a PR, or when a PR is open and
+needs review before merge. Do NOT invoke automatically on every PR —
+this is an on-demand deep review, not a CI gate.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- The PR must be open in a Gitea repo
+- The agent needs Gitea MCP access (gitea server)
+- The agent needs git push access to the PR's head branch
+- The PR should have passed CI (validate job) before deep review
+
+## Review Categories
+
+Review every PR against these 8 categories. For each issue found, post
+an inline comment on the specific line, then auto-fix it.
+
+### 1. Functional Correctness
+
+- Does the code actually do what the spec/PR title claims?
+- Are edge cases handled? (empty input, null, boundary values, concurrent access)
+- Are error paths tested? Not just happy path.
+- Does the code handle all return values? (ignored errors, unchecked None)
+- Are there off-by-one errors, wrong comparisons, inverted conditions?
+- Do loops terminate correctly? (no infinite loops, correct break/continue)
+- Are regex patterns correct? (anchored, escaped, non-greedy where needed)
+- Are API responses validated before use? (status codes, response shape)
+
+### 2. Completeness
+
+- Are all requirements from the spec implemented? (check each REQ-ID)
+- Are all acceptance criteria in the spec checked off?
+- Are tests written for all new code paths?
+- Are error messages user-facing (wrapped in `_()`)?
+- Are new CLI commands documented in `docs/user/cli-commands.md`?
+- Are new modules added to architecture docs?
+- Are CHANGELOG entries added for user-facing changes?
+- Are translations added for new user-facing strings?
+
+### 3. Architecture
+
+- Does the code follow the repo's layer separation? (no business logic in CLI, no direct subprocess in CLI)
+- Are new dependencies justified? (no unnecessary new packages)
+- Is configuration via env vars / config.py, not hardcoded?
+- Are new modules placed in the correct directory? (ci/ vs tools/ vs molecule/)
+- Does the code reuse existing utilities? (no reimplemented helpers)
+- Are imports circular? (check import chains)
+- Is the code testable? (injectable dependencies, no hidden global state)
+- Does the code follow existing patterns in the codebase?
+
+### 4. Reliability
+
+- Are external API calls retried with backoff?
+- Are timeouts set on all network operations?
+- Are file operations atomic? (write to temp, rename)
+- Are database operations transactional where needed?
+- Are there race conditions? (check shared mutable state)
+- Are resources cleaned up in all paths? (finally blocks, context managers)
+- Can the code handle partial failures? (one service down, others up)
+- Are idempotency guarantees maintained? (safe to retry)
+
+### 5. Robustness
+
+- Does the code fail gracefully? (meaningful error messages, not stack traces)
+- Are unexpected inputs handled? (type checking, validation)
+- Are there any crash-on-bad-input paths?
+- Does the code degrade under load? (backpressure, queue limits)
+- Are there resource leaks? (file handles, connections, memory)
+- Does the code survive network partitions? (retry, circuit breaker)
+- Are there any unhandled exceptions that could crash the process?
+- Is logging sufficient to diagnose production issues?
+
+### 6. Security
+
+- Are there hardcoded secrets, tokens, or passwords?
+- Is `shell=True` used with user input? (command injection)
+- Is `eval()` or `exec()` used? (code injection)
+- Are SQL queries parameterized? (no string concatenation)
+- Are file paths validated? (no path traversal)
+- Are user inputs sanitized before display? (XSS in web contexts)
+- Are SSL/TLS verifications disabled without justification?
+- Are secrets logged in error messages or debug output?
+- Are permissions checked before privileged operations?
+- Is sensitive data in memory longer than necessary?
+
+### 7. Technical Excellence
+
+- Are functions under 50 lines? (refactor if longer)
+- Is cyclomatic complexity reasonable? (no deeply nested if/else chains)
+- Are names meaningful? (no single-letter vars, no misleading names)
+- Is dead code removed? (no commented-out blocks, no unused imports)
+- Are comments explaining WHY, not WHAT?
+- Is the code DRY? (no copy-pasted blocks that should be shared)
+- Is the code SOLID? (single responsibility, open/closed)
+- Are magic numbers extracted to named constants?
+- Is the code formatted per the repo's linter config?
+- Are type hints present on all function signatures?
+
+### 8. Test Quality
+
+- Do tests actually test the behavior? (not just that code runs)
+- Are tests independent? (no shared mutable state, no order dependency)
+- Are tests fast? (no real sleeps, no real network calls, mocked)
+- Are edge cases tested? (empty, None, boundary, error paths)
+- Are test names descriptive? (test_what_condition_expected_result)
+- Are mocks set up correctly? (mocking the right object, not too broad)
+- Is coverage 100% for new code? (every branch, every line)
+- Are integration tests added for cross-module changes?
+- Do tests clean up after themselves? (tmp_path, fixtures)
+
+## Review Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Gather Context
+
+```
+1. Read the PR spec (if exists): docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md
+2. Fetch PR details via Gitea MCP: pull_request_read (get_pr, list_pr_files)
+3. Read the full diff: git diff origin/master...HEAD
+4. Read the PR description and any existing review comments
+5. Identify the repo's task prefix (OBL-INFRA, GRM, SSO, DEVX)
+```
+
+### Step 2: Review Each File
+
+For each changed file in the PR:
+
+1. Read the full file (not just the diff) to understand context
+2. Go through all 8 review categories
+3. For each issue found, note: file path, line number, category, severity, description, suggested fix
+
+### Step 3: Post Inline Comments
+
+For each issue found, post an inline review comment using the Gitea MCP:
+
+```
+mcp_call_tool: gitea / pull_request_review_write
+  method: create
+  owner: <owner>
+  repo: <repo>
+  pull_number: <PR number>
+  state: PENDING  (accumulate comments before submitting)
+  body: ""  (empty for now, summary added on submit)
+  comments: [
+    {
+      path: "<file path>",
+      new_line_num: <line number>,
+      body: "**[<category>] [<severity>]** <description>\n\n**Suggested fix:**\n```<lang>\n<fixed code>\n```"
+    }
+  ]
+```
+
+Comment format:
+```
+**[Security] [error]** `shell=True` used with user input — command injection risk.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```python
+subprocess.run(["git", "log", commit], check=True)
+```
+```
+
+Severity levels:
+- `error` — must fix before merge (security, correctness, crash)
+- `warning` — should fix before merge (reliability, best practice)
+- `info` — consider fixing (style, minor improvement)
+
+### Step 4: Auto-Fix Issues
+
+For each issue that can be safely auto-fixed:
+
+1. Edit the file using the `edit` tool
+2. Commit with message: `fix: address review comment — <short description>`
+3. Push to the PR's head branch: `git push origin HEAD`
+4. Wait for CI to re-run on the push
+
+Auto-fix ALL issues unless:
+- The fix requires an architectural decision (ask the user)
+- The fix changes public API behavior (ask the user)
+- The fix is ambiguous (multiple valid approaches, ask the user)
+
+### Step 5: Resolve Discussion Threads
+
+After auto-fixing an issue and CI passes:
+
+1. Find the review comment thread for that issue
+2. Post a reply: `Fixed in <commit-sha>. Closing this thread.`
+3. Resolve the discussion (if Gitea supports it via API)
+4. If resolving via API is not available, the reply comment serves as resolution
+
+### Step 6: Submit Final Review
+
+After all issues are addressed (fixed or discussed):
+
+```
+mcp_call_tool: gitea / pull_request_review_write
+  method: submit
+  owner: <owner>
+  repo: <repo>
+  pull_number: <PR number>
+  review_id: <from step 3 create>
+  state: COMMENT  (or APPROVED if no blocking issues remain)
+  body: <summary — see below>
+```
+
+### Step 7: Post Summary
+
+Post a brief summary as a PR comment (via `issue_write / add_comment`):
+
+```
+## Deep Review Summary
+
+- **Files reviewed:** N
+- **Issues found:** N (N auto-fixed, N require attention)
+- **Categories:** security (N), correctness (N), architecture (N), ...
+
+**Outcome:** ✅ Ready to merge — all issues addressed.
+**OR**
+**Outcome:** ⚠️ N blocking issue(s) remain — see inline comments.
+```
+
+Keep the summary to 5-10 bullet points. Do not paste the full review.
+
+### Step 8: Mark PR Ready
+
+If all issues are addressed and no blocking issues remain:
+
+```
+mcp_call_tool: gitea / issue_write
+  method: add_labels
+  owner: <owner>
+  repo: <repo>
+  issue_number: <PR number>
+  labels: [<label_id for "ready-to-merge">]
+```
+
+If blocking issues remain, do NOT add the label. Post a comment
+explaining what needs to be resolved before the PR can merge.

+| List labels | `label_read` | `list_repo_labels` |
+| Merge PR | `pull_request_write` | `merge` (do NOT use — auto-merge handles this) |
+
+## Important Rules
+
+- **Never merge the PR yourself.** Add the `ready-to-merge` label and let
+  the auto-merge workflow handle it. This ensures CI passes and the
+  commit message follows the `<PREFIX>-N: <conventional>` format.
+- **Never approve your own PR.** If the agent created the PR, post
+  COMMENT state, not APPROVED.
+- **Always push fixes to the PR branch**, not directly to master.
+- **Wait for CI after each push** before resolving the discussion thread.
+- **Post one review with all comments**, not multiple reviews.
+- **The summary must be brief** — 5-10 bullet points max.
+- **Severity matters**: only `error` severity blocks the `ready-to-merge` label.

+- **Be specific.** Reference exact make targets, file paths, commands.
+- **Be concise.** Each section should be scannable in under 30 seconds.
+- **Be actionable.** Every paragraph should tell the agent what to DO.
+- **Use tables** for command reference, mappings, and comparisons.
+- **Use code blocks** for commands the agent should run.
+- **Link to other skills** when related (e.g., "See `dependency-graph` skill").
+
+### Don't
+- **No preamble.** Don't start with "This skill helps agents..." — just state what it does.
+- **No filler.** Don't repeat information from AGENTS.md or other skills.
+- **No vague advice.** "Be careful with branches" is useless. "Run `git branch --show-current` before every commit" is useful.
+- **No AI slop.** Don't write "In this comprehensive guide, we will explore..." — just give the guidance.
+- **No redundant sections.** If "Common Mistakes" would repeat "When to Invoke", skip it.
+- **No marketing.** Don't describe the skill as "powerful" or "comprehensive".
+
+## Scope Rules
+
+- **One skill per concern.** Don't mix branch hygiene with CI monitoring.
+- **Project-specific, not generic.** Skills reference this repo's make targets, file paths, and conventions — not abstract advice.
+- **Shared skills must be identical across repos.** Use `SHARED_SKILLS` in the validator to enforce this.
+- **Per-repo skills must reflect that repo's reality.** Don't copy infra-specific targets to sso-bridge.
+
+## Automated Validation
+
+Every skill must pass the validator (`tests/test_skills.py`). The validator checks:
+
+1. **Structure** — H1 title, "When to Invoke" section, "Prerequisites" section
+2. **Commands** — referenced `make <target>` commands exist in Makefile or devx.mak
+3. **Paths** — referenced file paths exist in the repo
+4. **Shared skills** — identical content across repos (SHA-256 comparison)
+5. **No drift** — no references to nonexistent commands or files
+
+Run the validator:
+```bash
+python3 tests/test_skills.py --repo infra --repo sso-bridge
+```
+
+## Effectiveness Evaluation
+
+### Static Checks (automated, CI)
+
+The validator runs in CI as part of `make pytest-cov`. A failing skill
+test blocks the PR. This catches:
+- Missing sections
+- Invalid commands
+- Broken file references
+- Cross-repo drift
+
+### Runtime Metrics (manual, periodic)
+
+Track these signals to evaluate skill effectiveness:
+- **Skill invocation frequency** — how often agents invoke the skill
+- **Success rate when invoked** — did the skill prevent the mistake it targets?
+- **Feedback issues** — agents create Gitea issues with `feedback` label when a skill is unclear or wrong
+- **Mistake recurrence** — if agents still make the mistake the skill targets, the skill needs improvement
+
+### Retrospective Review
+
+Periodically (monthly or after major incidents) review skills:
+1. List all skills and their last-modified dates
+2. Check for feedback issues tagged `skill-improvement`
+3. Verify referenced commands still exist (run validator)
+4. Remove skills that are no longer relevant
+5. Update skills where mistakes still recur
+6. Document lessons in this skill's "Common Mistakes" section
+
+## Creating a New Skill — Checklist
+

+# Spec-Driven Development
+
+## When to Invoke
+
+Invoke this skill when starting any change — every PR requires a spec
+at `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` that CI validates before merge.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Vikunja task ID (`DEVX-N`) — see `vikunja-tasks` skill
+
+## Overview
+
+Every change starts with a spec. No spec, no code. No code, no PR.
+
+The spec is a markdown file at `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` in the repo.
+It contains structured requirements (REQ-IDs) and acceptance criteria
+(AC checklist) that CI validates before merge.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Create Vikunja task** — `make create-task -- --title "Title" --description "..."`
+2. **Write spec** — Create `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` (see template below)
+3. **Create branch** — `git checkout -b <PREFIX>-N-short-description`
+4. **Implement** — Write code with `# Implements: REQ-N` comments
+5. **Check ACs** — Tick all acceptance criteria checkboxes in the spec
+6. **Push and create PR** — `make push-with-pr`
+7. **CI validates** — Spec validation, PR size check, fast molecule, lint, tests
+8. **Auto-merge** — Add `ready-to-merge` label after review
+9. **Auto-deploy** — Post-merge deploys to staging (if nightly gate is green)
+
+## Spec Template
+
+```markdown
+# <TASK-ID>: <Title>
+
+## Problem
+<What is broken or missing? Why does this change exist?>
+
+## Approach
+<How will you solve it? What are the key design decisions?>
+
+REQ-1: <First requirement description>
+REQ-2: <Second requirement description>
+REQ-3: <Third requirement description>
+
+## Test Plan
+- <How will you verify each REQ is implemented correctly?>
+- <Include unit tests, molecule scenarios, integration tests>
+
+## Deploy Plan
+- <How will this change be deployed?>
+- <What order do components need to deploy in?>
+- <Are there migrations or one-time operations?>
+
+## Rollback Plan
+- <How do you revert if something goes wrong?>
+- <What data/state changes are irreversible?>
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] REQ-1: <criterion that proves REQ-1 is done>
+- [ ] REQ-2: <criterion that proves REQ-2 is done>
+- [ ] REQ-3: <criterion that proves REQ-3 is done>
+```
+
+## CI Validation
+
+The `devx.ci.validate_spec` module checks:
+
+1. **Spec file exists** at `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` (TASK-ID from branch name)
+2. **Required sections present**: Problem, Approach, Test Plan, Deploy Plan, Rollback Plan, Acceptance Criteria
+3. **At least one REQ-ID** line (format: `REQ-N: <description>`)
+4. **All AC checkboxes checked** (`- [x]`, not `- [ ]`)
+
+If any check fails, CI blocks the PR before expensive jobs run.
+
+## PR Size Limits
+
+CI enforces max 500 lines / 10 files changed (excluding CHANGELOG.md,
+README.md, badges, lock files). Oversized PRs are rejected. Split your
+work into smaller PRs.
+
+## Code-to-Spec Linking
+
+Each function, task, or template that implements a requirement should
+have a comment:
+
+```python
+# Implements: REQ-1
+def install_sso_bridge():
+    ...
+```
+
+```yaml
+# Implements: REQ-2
+- name: Clone infra repo
+  git:
+    ...
+```
+
+## Fast Molecule (Pre-merge)
+
+CI runs molecule only for **changed roles** (detected via git diff),
+with converge + verify only, single platform. This gives quick feedback
+(~5-10 min) without the full molecule suite.
+
+## Full Molecule (Nightly)
+
+The complete molecule suite (all scenarios, all platforms) runs nightly
+at 02:00 CET on master. If it fails:
+- A Gitea issue is created with the `feedback` label
+- The `NIGHTLY_STATUS` repo variable is set to `failed:<run_id>`
+- All staging deploys are blocked until nightly passes again
+
+## Auto-Deploy on Merge
+
+Every merged PR auto-deploys to staging (if nightly gate is green).
+No manual trigger needed. The deploy runs the full pipeline:
+provision → deploy-observability → deploy-customer → configure-oidc.
+
+For grm/sso-bridge: post-merge publishes the package, then auto-creates
+an infra PR to bump the pinned version. That infra PR auto-deploys when
+merged.
+
+## Key Commands
+
+```bash
+# Validate spec locally (before pushing)
+python -m devx.ci.validate_spec --branch <PREFIX>-N-description
+
+# Check PR size locally
+python -m devx.ci.check_pr_size --base origin/master --head HEAD

+python -m devx.ci.fast_molecule --base origin/master --head HEAD

+Vikunja task lifecycle beyond `create`: querying status, closing, and
+recovering when the tracker is unreachable.
+
+## When to Invoke
+
+- Creating, closing, or checking a Vikunja task
+- A spec workflow step needs the task ID or done state
+- `vikunja.oblachno.oblachno.fyi` fails to resolve / times out
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `.env` with `VIKUNJA_TOKEN`
+- Project ID comes from `[tool.devx]` in `pyproject.toml`
+  (`DEVX_VIKUNJA_PROJECT_ID`)
+
+## Create
+
+`make create-task` does **not** forward arguments — call the module:
+
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m devx.tools.create_task \
+  --title "Task title (no DEVX-N prefix)" \
+  --description "<h2>Context</h2><p>...</p>"
+```
+
+Prints `DEVX-N` + next steps. Title must not include the task-ID
+prefix (auto-merge prepends it; a manual prefix double-prefixes the
+PR title and fails validation).
+
+## Query / Close
+
+```bash
+# Task details (ID = numeric part of DEVX-N)
+curl -sf -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" \
+  "https://vikunja.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/v1/tasks/<N>"
+
+# Close: mark done
+curl -sf -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"done":true}' \
+  "https://vikunja.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/v1/tasks/<N>"
+```
+
+Post-merge automation marks the task done when the PR squash-merges —
+manual close is only needed for abandoned/superseded tasks.
+
+## Task-ID / Spec Collisions
+
+Vikunja IDs can collide with historical spec files (an old task reused
+the number). Convention: preserve the old file as
+`docs/specs/<ID>-<topic>-historical.md`, then write the new spec at
+`docs/specs/<ID>.md`. Check `git log` on the existing spec before
+moving it.
+
+## Tracker Unreachable
+
+If the Vikunja host fails DNS/TLS:
+
+1. Don't block the whole workflow — record the intended task title in
+   the spec draft and retry `create_task` before branching.
+2. Never invent an ID — branch/PR titles must match a real task or
+   `pre_push_check` / auto-merge validation fails.
+3. DNS failures observed so far were transient; retry after a few
+   minutes before escalating.
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+- `make create-task -- --title ...` — args are dropped; use the module
+  call above (forwarding fix is S11 scope).
+- Including `DEVX-N:` in the task title — double prefix breaks
+  auto-merge.
+- Closing a task whose PR is still open — auto-merge's post-merge
+  step handles the close; manual close confuses the audit trail.

+1. Create Vikunja task → get `<PREFIX>-N` task ID
+2. Write spec at `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` (see template in `.devin/skills/spec-driven-development/SKILL.md`)

+- `devx.ci.validate_spec` — checks spec exists, has required sections, REQ-IDs, all ACs checked
+- `devx.ci.check_pr_size` — max 500 lines / 10 files (excludes CHANGELOG, badges, locks)
+- `devx.ci.fast_molecule` — converge+verify only for changed roles, single platform
+
+**Nightly (infra only):**
+- Full molecule suite (all scenarios, all platforms) + staging deploy + integration tests
+- On failure: sets `NIGHTLY_STATUS=failed`, blocks staging deploys
+- Post-merge auto-deploy to staging checks this gate before deploying
+
+**Post-merge:**
+- Infra: auto-deploys to staging (if nightly gate is green)
+- GRM/sso-bridge: auto-publishes package, auto-creates infra dependency PR to bump pinned version

+# DEVX-155: Replace pr_review with spec-driven CI gates and pr-review skill
+
+## Problem
+The `devx.ci.pr_review` module was a monolithic automated PR review tool that
+ran in CI and posted COMMENT/REQUEST_CHANGES reviews. It duplicated logic now
+better handled by an agent-invoked skill, and it blocked the introduction of
+spec-driven development gates (validate_spec, check_pr_size) that should run
+before expensive CI jobs.
+
+## Approach
+Remove `pr_review` and replace it with lightweight, focused CI gates plus a
+new `pr-review` skill for deep agent-invoked reviews.
+
+REQ-1: Add `devx.ci.validate_spec` — validates spec file exists, has required sections, REQ-IDs, all ACs checked
+REQ-2: Add `devx.ci.check_pr_size` — enforces max 500 lines / 10 files (excludes CHANGELOG, badges, locks)
+REQ-3: Add `devx.ci.fast_molecule` — detects changed roles, outputs fast molecule commands (converge+verify, single platform)
+REQ-4: Add `devx.ci.nightly_gate` — checks/sets NIGHTLY_STATUS repo variable to block staging deploys on nightly failure
+REQ-5: Add `devx.ci.create_dependency_pr` — auto-creates infra PR to bump pinned package version after grm/sso-bridge release
+REQ-6: Remove `devx.ci.pr_review` module and `tests/unit/test_pr_review.py`
+REQ-7: Update CI workflows to replace pr_review steps with validate_spec + check_pr_size + curl-based APPROVE
+REQ-8: Add `spec-driven-development` and `pr-review` skills under `.devin/skills/`
+REQ-9: Update AGENTS.md and skill docs to document the new spec-driven workflow

+# DEVX-159: Fix build_image push-first strategy to avoid losing latest tag
+
+## Problem
+The `push_image` function in `build_image.py` deletes the existing
+manifest *before* pushing (Gitea #31964 workaround). When the push
+fails for other reasons (HTTP 500), the old tag is lost, breaking all
+CI jobs that use that image.

+This caused `ci-base:latest` to disappear from the registry when

+deleting the old `latest` manifest.
+
+## Approach
+Switch to a push-first strategy:
+1. Try pushing directly
+2. Only if push fails with "already exists" (Gitea #31964), delete
+   the old manifest and retry
+3. If push fails for any other reason, the old manifest is preserved

+# DEVX-162: Fix registry push race condition: serialize uploads + retry on HTTP 500
+
+## Problem
+The Gitea container registry (v1.27.2) has a known race condition in
+`BlobUploader.Append()` where concurrent blob uploads cause the file
+offset and DB model to get out of sync, producing HTTP 500 "offset
+mismatch between file and model" errors. This causes the build-images
+workflow to fail intermittently when pushing runner images.
+
+The `package_blob_upload` table accumulates stale entries from failed
+uploads that worsen the problem over time.
+
+## Approach
+Two fixes in devx (a third fix — scheduled cleanup — is tracked
+separately as OBL-INFRA-537):
+
+1. Set `DOCKER_MAX_CONCURRENT_UPLOADS=1` in the build-images workflow
+   to serialize blob uploads and avoid the race condition.
+
+2. Add HTTP 500 retry logic to `push_image` in `build_image.py`.
+   When a push fails with HTTP 500 (not "already exists"), retry up
+   to 3 times with exponential backoff (5s, 10s, 20s).

+# DEVX-162: Fix Gitea repo-variable read contract and fail closed on unknown nightly status
+
+## Problem
+
+`GiteaClient.get_repo_variable()` reads `body["value"]`, but the deployed
+Gitea returns the variable payload in the `data` field:
+
+```json
+{"owner_id":0,"repo_id":1,"name":"NIGHTLY_STATUS","data":"passed:5842","description":""}
+```
+
+Every read therefore returns `None`. `devx.ci.nightly_gate --action check`
+interprets `None` as "bootstrap — allow deploy," so a real `failed:<run>` status
+is invisible and the gate is permanently fail-open. Infra nightly run 5800 set
+`NIGHTLY_STATUS=passed:5800` while platform/customer integration tests were
+still failing — and even a correct `failed` value would have been ignored.
+
+Additionally, an unrecognized non-empty status currently allows deploys
+(fail-open instead of fail-closed).
+
+Verified against the live API: `POST`/`PUT` accept `{"value": ...}` and work;
+only the GET response uses `data`. The earlier `DEVX-162` spec (registry push
+race) is preserved as `DEVX-162-registry-push-race-historical.md`.
+
+## Approach
+
+REQ-1: `src/devx/api_clients.py` — `get_repo_variable` reads `data` first
+and falls back to `value` for older server/fixture compatibility. Write
+path unchanged (PUT/POST `{"value": ...}` verified live: 201/204).
+
+REQ-2: `src/devx/ci/nightly_gate.py` — unknown non-empty status blocks the
+deploy (fail closed) instead of allowing it. Unset (bootstrap) still
+allows.
+
+REQ-3: Tests cover the `data` field, the `value` fallback, and fail-closed
+unknown status.

+## Test Plan

+- `make lint-all` (ruff, pyright, bandit, translations)

+Gitea PyPI registry and opens the infra dependency-bump PR automatically.
+
+## Rollback Plan

+Revert the commit; infra's pinned devx version keeps the previous behavior
+until the dependency PR lands.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria

+# DEVX-164: Increase HTTP 500 retry count and backoff for docker push
+
+## Problem
+The HTTP 500 retry logic (DEVX-162, DEVX-163) works correctly — 3 retry
+attempts are made. But all 3 attempts fail because the Gitea registry's
+"offset mismatch" race condition needs more than ~15s to recover. The
+current backoff is 5s-20s with 3 attempts (total ~15s of waiting).
+
+## Approach
+Increase retry count from 3 to 5 and backoff from 5-20s to 10-60s,
+giving the registry up to ~2 minutes to recover. Add visible logging
+between retry attempts so the CI logs show the retry happening.
+
+REQ-1: Increase retry count from 3 to 5
+REQ-2: Increase backoff from 5-20s to 10-60s exponential
+REQ-3: Add visible logging between retry attempts (click.echo)

+# DEVX-164: auto-merge resilience — self-approval and Vikunja outage handling
+
+## Problem
+
+Two defects hit auto-merge during S02 work:
+
+1. `get_vikunja_task_title` crashes on transient Vikunja errors. The
+   Vikunja API returned 404/502 during a restart window (run 6093);
+   `list_project_tasks` treats 4xx as non-retryable `APIError`, so the
+   job failed immediately instead of riding out a short outage.
+2. When a PR author and the workflow's reviewer token map to the same
+   Gitea user, the auto-approve step is rejected ("approve your own
+   pull is not allowed") and the merge fails `405: not enough
+   approvals`. The generic merge error gives no hint that an external
+   approval is the fix (hit on sso-bridge #18, #19, and infra #1647's
+   approvals-only failure mode).
+
+## Approach
+
+REQ-1: Wrap the task-list pagination in `get_vikunja_task_title` with a
+bounded retry (tenacity, ~4 attempts, exponential backoff) covering
+`APIError` and `requests.RequestException`. A genuinely missing task
+still ends in the same "Could not find" ClickException.
+
+REQ-2: On merge `HTTP 405`, fetch PR reviews; when zero `APPROVED`
+reviews exist, extend the error with the self-approval explanation and
+the remediation (approve via a non-author account).
+
+REQ-3: Regression tests for both behaviors.
+
+## Files Affected
+
+- `src/devx/ci/auto_merge.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_auto_merge.py`
+
+## Test Plan
+
+- New tests: retry-then-success on transient APIError; retry-exhaustion
+  still raises; missing task still raises; 405 error includes
+  approvals diagnostic.
+- `make pytest-cov`, `make lint-all`.
+
+## Deploy Plan
+
+- Merge → next release publishes the package; consuming repos pick it
+  up on their next CI run (devx is pinned per-repo, bump via the usual
+  dependency PR flow).
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+- Revert; previous behavior returns.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] REQ-1: Vikunja task-list retries transient API failures
+- [x] REQ-2: 405 merge error reports approval state + self-approval hint

+# DEVX-167: Add dependency-graph, deployment-coordination, and skill-creation skills
+
+## Problem
+Agents working across the oblachno ecosystem lack shared, persistent
+context for three recurring pain points:
+
+1. **Cross-repo dependency ordering** — agents frequently merge
+   downstream PRs before the upstream publish job completes, or forget
+   to bump infra. There is no single reference for which repo produces
+   what and in what order changes must propagate.
+2. **devx release coordination** — devx is the base package pinned by
+   grm, sso-bridge, and infra. Agents repeatedly merge devx PRs and
+   immediately merge downstream bumps without waiting for the PyPI
+   publish job, or bump only one consumer when a change affects all
+   three.
+3. **Skill quality drift** — skills are created ad hoc with inconsistent
+   structure, vague advice, and no automated validation reference. New
+   skills miss required sections, reference nonexistent make targets,
+   and drift across repos.
+
+## Approach
+Add three SKILL.md files under `.devin/skills/`:
+
+REQ-1: `dependency-graph` — shared skill mapping the oblachno ecosystem
+(repos, what each produces, consumers, release triggers, correct
+cross-repo change order, state verification checklist)
+
+REQ-2: `deployment-coordination` — devx-specific skill covering the
+devx release flow, downstream consumers, manual bump procedure, and
+common mistakes when coordinating a devx change
+
+REQ-3: `skill-creation` — shared skill defining skill structure,
+quality standards, scope rules, automated validation reference, and a
+creation checklist
+
+## Files Affected
+- `.devin/skills/dependency-graph/SKILL.md` (new)
+- `.devin/skills/deployment-coordination/SKILL.md` (new)
+- `.devin/skills/skill-creation/SKILL.md` (new)
+- `docs/specs/DEVX-167.md` (new)
+
+## Test Plan
+- Verify all three SKILL.md files follow the required structure (H1
+  title, When to Invoke, Prerequisites sections)
+- Verify referenced make targets and file paths exist
+- Run `make pytest-cov` — skill validation tests must pass
+
+## Deploy Plan
+- Merge to master; skills are consumed by agents immediately on next
+  invocation — no build or deploy step required
+
+## Rollback Plan
+- Revert the merge commit; remove the three skill directories
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] REQ-1: dependency-graph skill exists with ecosystem map, repo
+      table, dependency chain, cross-repo change order, and state
+      verification checklist
+- [x] REQ-2: deployment-coordination skill exists with devx release
+      flow, downstream consumer table, coordination steps, and common
+      mistakes

-"""Automated PR review: check architecture compliance, best practices, and quality.
-
-Fetches the PR diff via the Gitea API, runs a series of automated checks,
-and posts a structured review using GiteaClient.create_review.
-
-Checks performed:
-  1. Architecture compliance — no business logic in CLI, no direct subprocess
-     calls outside executor, no hardcoded config that should be in config.py
-  2. Best practices — no bare except, no print() (use click.echo), no TODO/FIXME
-     left in merged code, no functions > 50 lines
-  3. Security — no secrets in code, no shell=True, no eval/exec
-  4. i18n — no raw English strings in click.echo() without _() wrapper
-  5. Resource management — no open() without with statement, no subprocess without cleanup
-  6. Documentation — new CLI commands documented, new modules in architecture.md
-  7. Test coverage — 100% enforced by pytest-cov (checked in quality job)
-  8. Commit conventions — conventional commit format on branch commits
-

+"""Validate that a PR has a spec file with required sections and acceptance criteria.
+
+Spec-driven development gate. Runs in CI before expensive jobs.
+Used by grm, infra, sso-bridge, and devx itself.
+
+Validates:
+1. A spec file exists at ``docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md`` (TASK-ID extracted from branch).
+2. The spec contains required sections: Problem, Approach, Test Plan, Deploy Plan, Rollback Plan.
+3. The spec contains REQ-ID lines (``REQ-N: <description>``).
+4. The spec contains an Acceptance Criteria checklist with at least one item.
+5. All acceptance criteria checkboxes are checked (``- [x]``).
+
+Usage:
+    python -m devx.ci.validate_spec --branch OBL-INFRA-531-fix-foo
+
+In CI, also pass ``--github-output`` to set ``spec-valid`` and ``spec-path``
+for downstream steps.
