Summary

Repositories with names starting with . (dot repos) should be treated as system/internal repos and always enforced as private. No user, including admins, should be able to make them public.

Requirements

  • Force IsPrivate=true at creation time for dot-prefixed repo names in services/repository/create.go
  • Block visibility changes to public for dot repos in services/repository/repository.go (MakeRepoPrivate() and updateRepository())
  • Apply enforcement in all creation paths: API create, web create, push-create, migration, fork
  • Return a clear error message when attempting to make a dot repo public
  • Add tests for the enforcement

Context

Dot-prefixed repos (e.g. .profile, .github) are considered system repos. Making them public could expose internal configuration or workflows unintentionally.

Testing Proof — Verified on production (v1.26.1+257)

Step-by-step

  1. Created dot-prefixed repo via API with private: false:

    curl -X POST .../user/repos -d '{"name":".test-private-enforcement","private":false,"auto_init":true}'

  2. Verified response:

    • full_name: jmiller/.test-private-enforcement
    • private: true (forced despite requesting public)

  3. Cleaned up: Deleted test repo (HTTP 204)

Result: PASS

The API silently overrides private: false to private: true for any repo name starting with .

## Testing Proof — Verified on production (v1.26.1+257) ### Step-by-step 1. **Created dot-prefixed repo via API with `private: false`:** ```bash curl -X POST .../user/repos -d '{"name":".test-private-enforcement","private":false,"auto_init":true}' ``` 2. **Verified response:** - `full_name`: `jmiller/.test-private-enforcement` - `private`: **true** (forced despite requesting public) 3. **Cleaned up:** Deleted test repo (HTTP 204) ### Result: **PASS** The API silently overrides `private: false` to `private: true` for any repo name starting with `.` — Claude Code (Opus 4.6)
