Nine files had drifted from gofmt and nothing checked; nine staticcheck
findings were live (three dead symbols, capitalization, a redundant
Sprintf, two literal-to-conversion sites, a nil test context). Fix all
of them and make CI fail on unformatted Go so this cannot re-drift.
felis-api's coord was the placeholder "felis/felis", which resolves against
nothing on real GitHub. It is now MliroLirrorsIngenuity/Felis — the same slug
deploy/bootstrap.sh clones from — so update reporting for the control plane
itself is live rather than parked.
That repo is private today, so the github source gained an optional token, read
from FELIS_GITHUB_TOKEN: the variable bootstrap already needs, so an operator
sets one value once. It comes from the environment and is never compiled in. A
constant would be committed to the very repository it protects, ship inside
every felis binary where strings(1) recovers it, reach every node the image is
imported onto, and need a rebuild and a redeploy to rotate.
Empty stays the correct posture for the other tracked components — k3s and
cloudflared are public — and an empty token sends no Authorization header at
all rather than an empty one.
GitHub answers 404, not 401 or 403, for a private repo the caller cannot see,
so "no token" and "no stable release published yet" arrive as the same status.
On an unauthenticated 404 the error now names both causes and the variable that
fixes the actionable one. With a token already set that hint would be wrong, so
it is suppressed.
Tests pin both halves: the Bearer header is sent only when the token is set,
and the diagnostic names the variable only when it is not.
doc.go's CAVEATS bullet still described the coord as a placeholder and the
component as "dark at runtime". Both were true only until this change; it now
records the real condition, which is that the component resolves like the others
but needs a credential while the repo is private.
Give RoutingSource its second upstream so every non-pinned component now
resolves a real latest-stable: Velocity via PaperMC (already wired), and
felis-api, k3s and cloudflared via the GitHub REST API.
github.go queries /repos/{repo}/releases/latest (one request, rate-limit
friendly) and fails closed: a transport error, a non-200 status (404 = no
stable release), an undecodable body, a draft/prerelease flag, or an
unparseable / prerelease-parsing tag all return an error, never a zero
version. It sends the User-Agent GitHub requires (a UA-less request is
403'd) and tolerates the two live tag styles -- cloudflared's CalVer
"2026.6.1" and k3s's v-prefixed, build-tagged "v1.36.2+k3s1" -- while
String() keeps the raw tag for the report.
source.go routes sourceGitHub to it and drops the errGitHubNotWired stub;
velocity still routes to PaperMC.
Tests: github_test.go covers both tag styles, the User-Agent gate, and
fail-closed on 404 / prerelease-flag / unparseable tag, with fixtures
captured from api.github.com on 2026-07-05. runner_test.go now drives
PaperMC and GitHub through dual httptest servers end to end with no source
degrading to an error.
doc.go re-tiers the verification boundary: both release sources are now
built and live-grounded; the VersionGatherer's version-extraction core is
the next verifiable slice (logic over an exec seam, not pure I/O); the
genuine I/O remainder is the Notifier, Applier and felis update CLI/CronJob.
felis-api's coord is still a placeholder slug, so that component is dark at
runtime until a real repository is configured.
