First end-to-end Renovate run (after switching to direct docker run)
extracted dependencies but failed to commit any update branches with
`fatal: empty ident name not allowed`, then aborted the repo with
`Lock file error - aborting`. Two root causes:
- The bot user had an email but no Full Name on its Gitea profile,
so Renovate could not derive a complete git author identity. After
enough commit failures Renovate gives up on the repository.
- Renovate also warned `GitHub token is required for some
dependencies` and could not resolve `containerbase/node-prebuild`
releases (the Node binary it pulls dynamically for lockfile
maintenance) — anonymous github.com rate limit (60 req/h) was the
bottleneck.
Fixes:
1. Pin `gitAuthor` explicitly in `renovate.json` so the identity does
not depend on out-of-band Gitea profile state. The Full Name was
also set on the bot profile for consistency with Gitea's UI.
2. Pass `RENOVATE_GITHUB_COM_TOKEN` from a repo secret. The secret is
named `GITHUBCOM_TOKEN` (no underscore between GITHUB and COM)
because Gitea reserves the `GITHUB_*` secret namespace for the
built-in `${{ github.* }}` context. The token is a zero-scope
PAT — anonymous-equivalent rights, only useful for the higher
authenticated rate limit (5 000 req/h).
`docs/development.md` is updated with the new bot-onboarding steps
(Full Name, GITHUBCOM_TOKEN setup).
Documentation index
This is the entry point to all project documentation. It is maintained automatically: any addition, rename, or removal of a .md file under docs/ must be reflected here in the same change.
Conventions
- Documentation is written in English.
- One topic per file. Group related files into a folder when there are three or more.
- Cross-reference with relative links so they keep working in GitHub, IDEs, and exported sites.
- For architectural decisions, do not add them here — they belong in decisions/ as MADR 4.0.0 ADRs.
Sections
Daily development
- development.md — repo layout, prerequisites, initial setup, daily commands, dependency updates (Renovate), conventional commit cycle. Day-to-day reference for working on the project.
Architecture
- architecture.md — cross-cutting Mermaid diagrams: C4 system context, C4 containers, Nx module boundaries, CI/CD pipeline. Single-decision diagrams (auth sequence, ERD, etc.) live inline in their ADR.
Onboarding & environment
Setup guides for new contributors:
- setup/01-wsl-terminal-setup.md — modern WSL terminal (Zsh + Powerlevel10k + CLI tools)
- setup/02-dev-web-stack.md — Node via nvm, pnpm via corepack, Docker
- setup/03-angular-nx-monorepo.md — Angular + Nx monorepo bootstrap
Operations & runbooks
Empty — to be populated when we deploy.
Security, performance, accessibility
Empty — placeholders to be filled with rationale docs alongside their corresponding ADRs.
