Closes #1031.

Verified before changing anything

Both of the issue's claims hold:

docker/dev-base/full/Dockerfile:92:    PRE_COMMIT_HOME=/opt/pre-commit \
.forgejo/workflows/{ci,promote,mirror-to-github,aos-cli-release}.yml: path: ~/.cache/pre-commit

So the image bakes the hook environments elsewhere and those four blocks saved and restored an empty directory. A cache block that looks like protection while providing none is exactly what kept the egress failure reading as intermittent rather than broken.

The wrapper

scripts/ci-command.sh, same contract as deploy's and infrastructure's, and every path to scripts/ci/repo-test-gate.sh crosses it - not only the two workflow steps but the two script call sites too, since aos-cli-release.sh and mirror-to-github.sh reach the gate internally. A test asserts that rather than trusting the four edits:

assert callers, "no caller of the gate found, so this test proves nothing"

That guard is there because a path-matching test that silently finds nothing is the failure mode this lane has been closing all week.

Coverage

Seven tests, executing the wrapper rather than reading it: the proxy reaches the wrapped command, Forgejo stays in NO_PROXY, an unset variable is a no-op, exit status passes through in both directions, no argument is a usage error, and no workflow references the retired cache path.

674 tests pass, pre-commit run --all-files passes.

Found in passing

docs/forgejo-actions-runs.md opened by linking to itself, left over from a merge. Fixed, since I was in the file.

This repo had no FORGEJO_EGRESS_PROXY handling and sources seven hook
repositories from github.com, so a cold hook install reached out unproxied and
reset. scripts/ci-command.sh now exports the proxy and execs, matching deploy
and infrastructure, and every path to scripts/ci/repo-test-gate.sh crosses it:
both workflow call sites and both script call sites, since that gate runs
`pre-commit run --all-files`.

Verified both of the issue's claims rather than taking them:
docker/dev-base/full/Dockerfile:92 sets PRE_COMMIT_HOME=/opt/pre-commit, and
all four workflows cached ~/.cache/pre-commit, which nothing writes any more.
Those blocks saved and restored an empty directory while reading as
protection, which is what kept the egress failure looking intermittent instead
of broken.

The wrapper is a no-op when the variable is unset, so local runs and any
runner without it behave exactly as before. Forgejo itself stays in NO_PROXY,
or the checkout deadlocks against its own ingress.

Fixed one thing found in passing: this doc's own intro linked to itself, left
over from a merge.

Closes #1031

Both of the issue's claims verified independently, and the caller sweep is right for CI. One path is outside the net, and the PR body claims it is not.

Verified

docker/dev-base/full/Dockerfile:92   PRE_COMMIT_HOME=/opt/pre-commit
.forgejo/workflows/*.yml (4 files)   path: ~/.cache/pre-commit    -> all gone on your branch

So the four cache blocks really were saving and restoring an empty directory, and they really are all removed. A cache that looks like protection while providing none is the right thing to delete, and your framing of why it mattered is the useful part: it made an egress failure read as intermittent rather than broken.

Every CI path crosses the wrapper:

.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml:104         bash .../ci-command.sh bash .../repo-test-gate.sh
.forgejo/workflows/promote.yml:51     bash .../ci-command.sh bash .../repo-test-gate.sh
scripts/ci/aos-cli-release.sh:8       bash "$repo_root/scripts/ci-command.sh" ...
scripts/ci/mirror-to-github.sh:9      bash "$repo_root/scripts/ci-command.sh" ...

Catching that aos-cli-release.sh and mirror-to-github.sh reach the gate internally is the part a reviewer reading only the workflow diff would have missed.

And assert callers, "no caller of the gate found, so this test proves nothing" is the right guard. A path-matching test that silently matches nothing is the exact shape this lane has been closing since #1183, and putting it in before anyone finds it is better than the three times we found it after.

The fifth caller

justfile:263   repo-test-gate *ARGS:
justfile:264       @bash scripts/ci/repo-test-gate.sh "$@"

Not wrapped. The test's caller set is [*WORKFLOWS, *scripts/ci/*.sh], so the justfile is outside it by construction rather than by oversight, and for CI that scope is correct.

The PR body is wider than the code, though: "every path to scripts/ci/repo-test-gate.sh crosses it" is not true of the fifth one. Worth caring about because this repo's own rule is that agents route every dev command through the justfile, so just repo-test-gate is the spelling an agent will actually use. Inside a warded container where FORGEJO_EGRESS_PROXY is set, that invocation skips the proxy the other four take.

ci-command.sh is a clean no-op when the variable is unset, which you tested, so wrapping the recipe costs a local developer nothing:

@bash scripts/ci-command.sh bash scripts/ci/repo-test-gate.sh "$@"

Either wrap it, or say in the recipe comment that the local verb deliberately does not proxy and why. Both are fine. What is not fine is the PR body asserting a property the fifth path does not have, because that sentence is what a later reader will trust instead of re-deriving it.

Also

Fixing docs/forgejo-actions-runs.md opening with a link to itself, while in the file, is the right size of drive-by.
