Closes TODO 2 of the security audit in docs/prs/2026-07-08-PR#000. Every rendered page carried the live control token in a meta tag so that gittally.js could send it, but no GET is authenticated — so `curl … | grep gittally-control-token` handed the token to anyone, and read access was effectively write access. Reading stays fully public, which is a requirement rather than an oversight: build states, logs and artifacts must be linkable from Gitea, chats or tickets without a login. Only the distribution of the token changed. The meta tag is gone; gittally.js keeps the token in localStorage and asks for it once per browser, so knowing it requires shell access to `.git/gittally/control-token` on the host. A token the server rejects is dropped and asked for once more, so a rotated secret is not a dead end. As a request header it stays inherently CSRF-safe. The five branches of that flow (first use, reuse, stale token, cancelled prompt, wrong token twice) were exercised against the real source with a throwaway node harness; the UI test now asserts the token does not appear in the rendered page. `docs/deployment.md` gained a "Control Token" section on the public-read/token-protected-write split.

GitTally
Lightweight, declarative and highly opinionated software build system (CI/CD).
Documentation
- docs/configuration.md — configuration reference
- docs/bootstrapping.md — initializing a repository with
init - docs/deployment.md — running GitTally as a systemd service behind a reverse proxy
- docs/migration-from-legacy.md — migrating from the legacy bash script
Legacy Script
legacy/gitTally (bash) is deprecated and kept only as a behavioral reference for the rewrite.
Do not use it for new installations; see docs/migration-from-legacy.md.
Developer Setup
Source .envrc to add tools/ to your PATH, or install direnv to have this done automatically on cd:
source .envrc
Common tasks:
./gradlew build # compile and run all checks
./gradlew test # run tests
./gradlew ktlintFormat # auto-format Kotlin sources
./gradlew ktlintCheck # check formatting (also runs as part of build)
adr-status # show all architecture decisions at a glance
direnv
direnv sources .envrc automatically whenever you enter the repository and unloads it when you leave.
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install direnv
# add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
eval "$(direnv hook bash)" # or: eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
Trust the project's .envrc once per clone:
direnv allow
