Both documented endpoints 404 on the deployed Forgejo build:

GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/jobs   -> 404
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/jobs/{job_id}/logs   -> 404

The web UI's POST /{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{i}/jobs/{j} needs a session
cookie, so an agent or script cannot read why a job failed.

Why it matters

A CI failure class cannot be diagnosed from evidence, only guessed at from
symptoms. This was the blocking gap while investigating the pre-commit network
failures: the run list gives pass or fail and nothing else, so the failure rate
was measurable but the cause was not.

Options

Upgrade Forgejo to a version serving the jobs and logs API.
Ship runner logs to SigNoz so failures are queryable there.

Resolved by the Forgejo 16.0.2 upgrade, applied 2026-08-12 and recorded on
issue 620.

Both endpoints that 15 had no route for now answer against the live instance:

GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/jobs
  -> 27514 test success, 27515 publish-echo-image success

GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/jobs/{job_id}/logs
  -> HTTP 200, 23935 bytes of runner log

The SigNoz log-shipping alternative floated in the original description is not
needed. The endpoints existed upstream, this instance was two minor versions
behind them.

One client-side gap remains before this is usable from an agent without curl:
aosguard ops forgejo action-job logs fails with invalid character '-' after top-level value, because it JSON-parses a plaintext body. The guardfile already
declares the verb and annotates it "(Forgejo 16)", so this is response handling
rather than a missing grant.
