BL-002 / gitea#138 tracks deferred native provider types (Slack Block Kit, PagerDuty Events v2, Teams connector) with shipped templates as a post-v1 fast-follow once usage data informs which providers matter. Spec §13 folds in context-aware variable auto-complete for the shared <MustacheEditor /> component used in rule editor, webhook overrides, and outbound-connection admin. Available variables filter by condition kind. Completion engine choice added to §20 as a planning-phase decision. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

BL-001 — Managed CA bundles for outbound HTTPS
Opened: 2026-04-19 Surfaced by: Alerting design — TLS trust section Tracking: gitea#137 Status: Open
Context. The alerting feature introduces server → external HTTPS webhooks, which makes outbound TLS trust a cross-cutting concern (joining the existing OIDC token-exchange / JWKS fetch paths). Alerting v1 handles this with a shared OutboundHttpClientFactory + system config (cameleer.server.outbound-http.trusted-ca-pem-paths) + a per-webhook TrustMode override (SYSTEM_DEFAULT / TRUST_ALL / TRUST_PATHS). CA files in v1 are filesystem-resident, managed via deployment config — there is no in-app upload surface.
What's deferred.
-
In-app CA bundle management. Admin UI to upload, list, and delete trusted CA PEMs. Storage in PG (
trusted_ca_certstable) so all replicas see a consistent set without a filesystem sync step. Likely lives under/admin/outbound-http(new admin surface) or as a tab on the existing admin navigation. -
SaaS-layer CA reuse — design investigation (do first). The SaaS layer already manages CA material for the server (for its reverse-proxy → OIDC path and related). Before building in-app CA management in the OSS server, investigate whether the SaaS CA mechanism can be extended/exposed so the server can consume trust material from the SaaS layer directly. Goal: KISS + DRY — don't duplicate a CA store in the server if the SaaS side already owns one. If reuse is viable, in-app CA upload in the server may never be needed — the SaaS layer becomes the authoritative admin surface and the server just reads.
Acceptance criteria.
- Investigation concludes with a one-page decision: reuse SaaS / build in-server / hybrid, with rationale and an implementation sketch.
- If "build in-server" is chosen: spec + plan + implementation following the normal flow. Must include PG-backed storage, audit logging on CA change (category already introduced:
OUTBOUND_HTTP_TRUST_CHANGE), and cluster-consistent propagation. - If "reuse SaaS" is chosen: spec for the extension on the SaaS side + a small server-side consumer; the server's current file-path-based trust config remains as the OSS fallback for non-SaaS deployments.
Why we're not doing it now.
- Alerting v1's file-based trust config is identical to how the server handles other trust material today (OIDC issuer URIs, Ed25519 keys), so it's no regression.
- Building in-server CA management before the SaaS reuse investigation risks duplicating work we may throw away.
- Most early alerting users will target public SaaS webhooks (Slack, PagerDuty, Teams) whose certs chain to public roots — no custom CA needed.

BL-002 — Native provider integrations for alerting (Slack, Teams, PagerDuty with shipped templates)
Opened: 2026-04-19 Surfaced by: Alerting design — §2 Out of scope Tracking: gitea#138 Status: Open
Context. Alerting v1 ships with generic outbound webhooks + JMustache templates — users paste their Slack incoming webhook URL (or PagerDuty Events API key, or Teams connector URL) and write the body from scratch. A natural fast-follow is to elevate the most common providers to first-class connection types with tuned default templates, provider-specific config hints, and test actions that speak each provider's native format.
What's deferred.
SLACK_INCOMING_WEBHOOKconnection type with Block Kit default body template and URL-shape validation.PAGERDUTY_EVENTS_V2with routing-key input (not URL) and default body tuned to the Events API v2 — includingdedup_keytied to alert-instance id, severity mapping, and auto-resolve viaevent_action: resolveon alert RESOLVED.MS_TEAMS_CONNECTORwith adaptive-card/MessageCard default.- Optional follow-ons: Discord, OpsGenie.
Acceptance criteria.
- Decide on the first 2 providers based on usage data from alerting v1 (likely Slack + PagerDuty).
- Ship templates as versioned resources (
outbound-templates/slack-v1.mustache) so they can iterate without breaking existing connections. - Golden-file tests per provider type — payload matches current documented format.
- Provider-integration guide in docs.
Why we're not doing it now.
- Generic webhook + Mustache covers every target today; not a blocker.
- Provider schemas drift (Slack deprecated old JSON once; Teams connectors are on a deprecation path as of late 2025); shipping baked-in templates is a maintenance commitment.
- Usage data will tell us which providers actually matter — shipping three speculatively is wasted work.
