# AtayMakhzan

AtayMakhzan is Saad ibn Zoubayr's sovereign Moroccan developer forge.

This repository is an intentional source fork of upstream Gitea. The goal is not to create a cosmetic copy. The goal is to build a controlled forge system for Saad's ventures while preserving upstream security and maintainability discipline.

## Upstream basis

Initial fork basis:

```text
Gitea v1.26.2
```

Upstream remote:

```text
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea.git
```

AtayMakhzan origin:

```text
ssh://git@ataymakhzan.com:2222/ibnezzoubayr/Atay-Makhzan.git
```

## Product doctrine

AtayMakhzan should be:

- sovereign: code, repos, and infra controlled by Saad;
- Moroccan: tasteful identity, not decorative folklore;
- developer-first: fast, calm, reliable, and sharp;
- operations-safe: backups and rollback before production changes;
- upstream-aware: security releases are merged deliberately.

## Fork discipline

- Preserve upstream MIT license and copyright notices.
- Track upstream releases and security patches.
- Document every divergence in `FORK_CHANGELOG.md`.
- Add tests for behavioral changes.
- Avoid schema/auth/storage changes until a migration and rollback plan exists.
- Keep production deploy logic in `Atay-Makhzan-Ops`, not in this source repo.

## First milestone

The first milestone is a buildable, deployable fork that behaves like Gitea 1.26.2 with safe AtayMakhzan identity changes only.

Non-goals for the first milestone:

- no database schema change;
- no authentication rewrite;
- no SSH/Git transport change;
- no permission model change;
- no broad UI rewrite;
- no production deployment until staging/smoke verification passes.
