#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Keep `Status/Blocked` in step with Gitea's dependency graph. Gitea knows which issues block which, and will grey out a pull request's merge button accordingly, but it does not surface that as a label -- so a list view gives no hint that half of it cannot be started. This reconciles the two. Standard library only, so it runs in any runner image and can be driven by hand. ## The one rule worth arguing about **An issue with no dependencies at all is never touched.** Only issues that have at least one dependency are managed: * any blocker positively open -> ensure the label is present * every blocker positively closed -> ensure the label is absent * any blocker's state cannot be confirmed either way -> leave the label exactly as it is, and say so in the log The asymmetry is deliberate. A dependency in *another* repo is not fully visible to the Actions token, which is scoped to one repo, so "not open" and "closed" are not the same statement. Gitea does not error or omit such an entry -- it substitutes a zero-value stub (`id: 0`, every other field blank or null, including `state: ""`), so `d.get("state") != "closed"` used to treat it as "open forever". That kept a cross-repo `Status/Blocked` from ever being removed (weblib-ci#11) and, worse, made the reconciler *reassert* the label after a human removed it by hand (weblib-archive#30, 2026-09-09): every 15 minutes it re-ran the same "not closed" test against the same unreadable stub and put the label back. Treating "cannot tell" as its own outcome -- change nothing, log the issue number -- fixes both without guessing an answer the token cannot support. See `is_resolved()`. That matters because `Status/Blocked` is also applied by hand for reasons the graph knows nothing about -- weblib-archive#29 and #30 are blocked on a decision, not on an issue. A rule of "no open blockers means not blocked" would strip those the first time it ran. Anything with a dependency edge is fair game because the edge is the statement of intent; anything without one is somebody's judgement and stays. Usage: sync_blocked_label.py --repo weblib/cfbypass [--repo weblib/weblib-archive] [--dry-run] [--label Status/Blocked] Reads the token from --token, else $GITEA_TOKEN, else $GITHUB_TOKEN.
