Closes#37670.
Today, org members in Gitea only see teams they're a member of. In
larger orgs that hurts onboarding and discoverability — there's no way
to look up which team owns what without asking around. GitHub solves
this with a per-team visibility setting; this PR brings the same model
to Gitea.
## What changes
- Every team gets a `visibility` setting:
- `private` *(default)* — only team members and org owners can see the
team. Same as today's behavior.
- `limited` — listable by any member of the organization. Members and
the repos the team has access to are visible too. Non-org-members still
see nothing.
- `public` — listable by any signed-in user.
- The Owners team visibility is fixed and cannot be changed via
settings.
- Existing teams default to `private`, so this is a no-op for anyone who
doesn't change anything.
## API
- `Team`, `CreateTeamOption`, `EditTeamOption` all gain a `visibility`
field (string enum: `private` | `limited` | `public`).
- `GET /orgs/{org}/teams` and `/orgs/{org}/teams/search` now apply the
same visibility rules as the web UI:
- site admins and org owners still see every team
- other org members see their own teams plus any `limited` or `public`
team
- `private` teams are no longer leaked through these endpoints
- Swagger/OpenAPI specs regenerated.

This PR closes remaining `public-only` token gaps in the API by making
the restriction apply consistently across repository, organization,
activity, notification, and authenticated `/api/v1/user/...` routes.
Previously, `public-only` tokens were still able to:
- receive private results from some list/search/self endpoints,
- access repository data through ID-based lookups,
- and reach several authenticated self routes that should remain
unavailable for public-only access.
This change treats `public-only` as a cross-cutting visibility boundary:
- list/search endpoints now filter private resources consistently,
- repository lookups enforce the same restriction even when addressed
indirectly,
- and self routes that inherently expose or mutate private account state
now reject `public-only` tokens.

## Overview
This PR introduces granular permission controls for Gitea Actions tokens
(`GITEA_TOKEN`), aligning Gitea's security model with GitHub Actions
standards while maintaining compatibility with Gitea's unique repository
unit system.
It addresses the need for finer access control by allowing
administrators and repository owners to define default token
permissions, set maximum permission ceilings, and control
cross-repository access within organizations.
## Key Features
### 1. Granular Token Permissions
- **Standard Keyword Support**: Implements support for the
`permissions:` keyword in workflow and job YAML files (e.g., `contents:
read`, `issues: write`).
- **Permission Modes**:
- **Permissive**: Default write access for most units (backwards
compatible).
- **Restricted**: Default read-only access for `contents` and
`packages`, with no access to other units.
- ~~**Custom**: Allows defining specific default levels for each unit
type (Code, Issues, PRs, Packages, etc.).~~**EDIT removed UI was
confusing**
- **Clamping Logic**: Workflow-defined permissions are automatically
"clamped" by repository or organization-level maximum settings.
Workflows cannot escalate their own permissions beyond these limits.
### 2. Organization & Repository Settings
- **Settings UI**: Added new settings pages at both Organization and
Repository levels to manage Actions token defaults and maximums.
- **Inheritance**: Repositories can be configured to "Follow
organization-level configuration," simplifying management across large
organizations.
- **Cross-Repository Access**: Added a policy to control whether Actions
workflows can access other repositories or packages within the same
organization. This can be set to "None," "All," or restricted to a
"Selected" list of repositories.
### 3. Security Hardening
- **Fork Pull Request Protection**: Tokens for workflows triggered by
pull requests from forks are strictly enforced as read-only, regardless
of repository settings.
- ~~**Package Access**: Actions tokens can now only access packages
explicitly linked to a repository, with cross-repo access governed by
the organization's security policy.~~ **EDIT removed
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/36173#issuecomment-3873675346**
- **Git Hook Integration**: Propagates Actions Task IDs to git hooks to
ensure that pushes performed by Actions tokens respect the specific
permissions granted at runtime.
### 4. Technical Implementation
- **Permission Persistence**: Parsed permissions are calculated at job
creation and stored in the `action_run_job` table. This ensures the
token's authority is deterministic throughout the job's lifecycle.
- **Parsing Priority**: Implemented a priority system in the YAML parser
where the broad `contents` scope is applied first, allowing granular
scopes like `code` or `releases` to override it for precise control.
- **Re-runs**: Permissions are re-evaluated during a job re-run to
incorporate any changes made to repository settings in the interim.
### How to Test
1. **Unit Tests**: Run `go test ./services/actions/...` and `go test
./models/repo/...` to verify parsing logic and permission clamping.
2. **Integration Tests**: Comprehensive tests have been added to
`tests/integration/actions_job_token_test.go` covering:
- Permissive vs. Restricted mode behavior.
- YAML `permissions:` keyword evaluation.
- Organization cross-repo access policies.
- Resource access (Git, API, and Packages) under various permission
configs.
3. **Manual Verification**:
- Navigate to **Site/Org/Repo Settings -> Actions -> General**.
- Change "Default Token Permissions" and verify that newly triggered
workflows reflect these changes in their `GITEA_TOKEN` capabilities.
- Attempt a cross-repo API call from an Action and verify the Org policy
is enforced.

Fix#35690
Change the "restricted user" behavior introduced by #6274. Now
restricted user can also access public repositories when sign-in is not
required.
For required sign-in, the behavior isn't changed.
Similar to #34544, this PR changes the `opts` argument in
`SearchRepositoryByName()` to be passed by value instead of by pointer,
as its mutations do not escape the function scope and are not used
elsewhere. This simplifies reasoning about the function and avoids
unnecessary pointer usage.
This insight emerged during an initial attempt to refactor
`RenderUserSearch()`, which currently intermixes multiple concerns.

This PR do some loading speed optimization for feeds user interface
pages.
- Load action users batchly but not one by one.
- Load action repositories batchly but not one by one.
- Load action's Repo Owners batchly but not one by one.
- Load action's possible issues batchly but not one by one.
- Load action's possible comments batchly but not one by one.
just some refactoring bits towards replacing **util.OptionalBool** with
**optional.Option[bool]**

This PR has multiple parts, and I didn't split them because
it's not easy to test them separately since they are all about the
dashboard page for issues.
1. Support counting issues via indexer to fix#26361
2. Fix repo selection so it also fixes#26653
3. Keep keywords in filter links.
The first two are regressions of #26012.
After:
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/assets/9418365/71dfea7e-d9e2-42b6-851a-cc081435c946
Thanks to @CaiCandong for helping with some tests.
Replace #23350.
Refactor `setting.Database.UseMySQL` to
`setting.Database.Type.IsMySQL()`.
To avoid mismatching between `Type` and `UseXXX`.
This refactor can fix the bug mentioned in #23350, so it should be
backported.
Every user can already disable the filter manually, so the explicit
setting is absolutely useless and only complicates the logic.
Previously, there was also unexpected behavior when multiple query
parameters were present.

There is a mistake in the code for SearchRepositoryCondition where it
tests topics as a string. This is incorrect for postgres where topics is
cast and stored as json. topics needs to be cast to text for this to
work. (For some reason JSON_ARRAY_LENGTH does not work, so I have taken
the simplest solution of casting to text and doing a string comparison.)

Adds a new option to only show relevant repo's on the explore page, for bigger Gitea instances like Codeberg this is a nice option to enable to make the explore page more populated with unique and "high" quality repo's. A note is shown that the results are filtered and have the possibility to see the unfiltered results.
