GitCaddy Actions Proto

Protocol buffer definitions for communication between Gitea Actions runners and the Gitea server.

This is a GitCaddy fork of code.gitea.io/actions-proto-go with enhanced capability reporting support.

Overview

This package provides the protobuf-generated Go code for the Gitea Actions runner protocol. It defines the RPC services and message types used for:

• Runner registration and declaration
• Task fetching and execution
• Log streaming and status updates
• Runner capability reporting (GitCaddy enhancement)

Installation

go get git.marketally.com/gitcaddy/actions-proto-go

GitCaddy Enhancements

Runner Capability Reporting

This fork adds the CapabilitiesJson field to the DeclareRequest message, enabling runners to report their capabilities to the Gitea server:

message DeclareRequest {
  string version = 1;
  repeated string labels = 2;
  string capabilities_json = 3;  // NEW: JSON-encoded runner capabilities
}

The capabilities JSON includes:

• OS and Architecture: Runtime environment details
• Docker Support: Whether Docker/Podman is available
• Shell Support: Available shells (bash, sh, powershell, etc.)
• Tool Versions: Installed tools like Node.js, Go, Python, etc.
• Feature Flags: Cache support, artifact handling, etc.
• Limitations: Known constraints for AI workflow generation

Why This Matters

AI tools generating CI/CD workflows can query the Gitea API to discover runner capabilities before writing workflows, reducing trial-and-error iterations.

Usage

import (
    runnerv1 "git.marketally.com/gitcaddy/actions-proto-go/runner/v1"
    "git.marketally.com/gitcaddy/actions-proto-go/runner/v1/runnerv1connect"
)

// Create a client
client := runnerv1connect.NewRunnerServiceClient(httpClient, serverURL)

// Declare runner with capabilities
resp, err := client.Declare(ctx, connect.NewRequest(&runnerv1.DeclareRequest{
    Version:          "0.3.1",
    Labels:           []string{"ubuntu-latest", "docker"},
    CapabilitiesJson: `{"os":"linux","arch":"amd64","docker":true}`,
}))
