Summary

PR 3 of 3 for the GitHub App (stacked on #42). One command, no flags:

pinbox github setup
  • Create from a manifest. A loopback receiver serves a self-submitting form to GitHub's App creation page (organization or personal, decided by the repo owner's public profile). GitHub shows the review page pre-filled — Issues write, Metadata read, Issues + Issue comment events, webhook URL — the user clicks Create, and the one-time code comes back to pinbox, which exchanges it for the App's id, private key and webhook secret. Nothing to download or paste.
  • Install and discover. Opens the install page, polls GET /app/installations with the App JWT until the repo owner's installation appears.
  • Wire the worker. Finds the scaffolded worker (nearest wrangler config naming PinboxHubDO, four levels deep), patches the three vars in wrangler.jsonc without a JSON parser (comments survive, commented-out examples are never the target), pushes the two secrets through wrangler secret put on stdin. If wrangler cannot (not logged in), the values print with the reason and setup still completes.
  • Verify. Mints an installation token and reads the repo.

Everything is derived: repo from the origin remote, worker by its config, hub URL from a custom_domain route (on workers.dev it asks), org/user from the owner's profile, App name pinbox-<owner>-<repo> (editable on GitHub's review page). The only option is --json, the house convention. An earlier revision had seven flags; each was for a case that does not exist, and they are gone.

Deviation from the plan: this was going to be a step inside pinbox init's cloud flow, which is still a design doc. A small verb ships the value now and folds into init when that lands.

Agent text and docs

  • The generated skill (and the Cursor/Copilot blocks pinbox init writes from it) mark pinbox github as interactive and human-only, alongside the comment-pin rule and the new resolve wording.
  • Mintlify: new cli/commands/github page; resolve (--link), list (--kind), pin (--comment) reference pages; command overview; agents page. READMEs (root, cli, toolbar) caught up.

Verification

  • flow.test.ts runs the flow end to end over a fake GitHub, receiver and worker, including owner-type lookup (User → personal page; lookup failure → org assumed and said), wrangler failure → secrets printed, installation timeout → E_CONNECTOR with the install URL, bad hub URL → nothing opens.
  • manifest.test.ts: manifest shape, URL rules, remote parsing, installation picking, JSONC var patching and custom_domain derivation with comments masked.
  • 266 CLI tests pass; typecheck, Biome, template-drift gate clean. SKILL.md regenerated.

The command has not been run against a real GitHub yet; the sample transcript on the docs page is illustrative and should be replaced with the first real run.

…App in one sitting

PR 3 of 3 for the GitHub App. The planned home was a cloud step inside
pinbox init, but init's cloud flow is still a design doc; a small verb ships
the value now and folds into init when that lands.

pinbox github setup --hub https://<worker>/_pinbox
- Creates the App from a MANIFEST: a loopback receiver serves a form that
  posts to github.com/settings/apps/new (org or personal); GitHub redirects
  back with a one-time code; POST /app-manifests/:code/conversions returns
  id, slug, private key and webhook secret. Permissions, events and the
  webhook URL are right by construction — nothing to click through.
- Opens the install page, then polls GET /app/installations with the App JWT
  until the repo owner's installation appears.
- Finds the scaffolded worker (a wrangler config naming PinboxHubDO), patches
  GITHUB_APP_ID / GITHUB_INSTALLATION_ID / GITHUB_REPO in wrangler.jsonc
  without a JSON parser (comments survive), pushes the two secrets through
  wrangler on stdin (never argv, never echoed), or --print-secrets.
- Verifies by minting an installation token and reading the repo.
- core exports signAppJwt / mintInstallationToken / githubHeaders for reuse.

Every side effect is a seam; the flow is tested end to end over a fake
GitHub, fake receiver and fake worker. SKILL.md regenerated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the pinbox github setup command for cloud hubs. The workflow creates and installs a GitHub App, configures Wrangler variables and secrets, verifies repository access, and reports setup results. It also adds authentication helpers, tests, command registration, and documentation.

Changes

GitHub App setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest and local setup
packages/cli/src/github-app/manifest.ts, packages/cli/src/github-app/receiver.ts, packages/cli/src/github-app/wrangler.ts, packages/cli/src/github-app/manifest.test.ts
Builds and validates GitHub App manifests, handles loopback callbacks, parses repositories, patches Wrangler JSONC, and uploads secrets.
GitHub authentication helpers
packages/core/src/connectors/github-app.ts
Exports JWT signing, GitHub header construction, and installation-token exchange helpers. The connector retains token caching and issue operation dispatch.
GitHub setup workflow
packages/cli/src/github-app/flow.ts, packages/cli/src/github-app/flow.test.ts
Creates and installs the App, selects the owner, polls for installation, configures workers or prints secrets, and verifies repository access. Tests cover success, fallback, timeout, validation, and failure cases.

Registers github setup, resolves hub and repository inputs, renders results, updates help ordering, and documents cloud-hub GitHub setup.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 63505

Setup can write or derive unusable worker configuration and webhook URLs for accepted inputs. These configuration defects should be fixed before merge.

--hub was required; it is now derived from a custom_domain route in the
worker's wrangler.jsonc, else asked for at the terminal (workers.dev
subdomains are in no config we can read), with --hub as the override.
--org/--personal are gone: the repo owner's public profile says whether it
is an organization or a user, and the manifest posts to the matching page;
a failed lookup assumes organization and says so. Default App name is
pinbox-<owner>-<repo>, since App names are unique across all of GitHub.

Narrow timeoutMs documentation to the installation wait.

SetupSeams.timeoutMs is passed only to awaitInstallation. seams.receive uses a separate fixed 10-minute timeout, so timeoutMs does not bound the App-creation browser step. Change the comment to /** How long to wait for the GitHub App installation. */.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the owner/name shape of input.repo before any side effect.

runGithubSetup accepts any string. If input.repo is pinbox, owner becomes pinbox and configureWorker writes GITHUB_REPO: "pinbox" into wrangler.jsonc. The transport rejects that value later, because packages/core/src/connectors/github-app.ts requires ^[^/\s]+\/[^/\s]+$. The setup then reports a written configuration that cannot work, and only verified: false signals the fault. Reject the malformed value first, next to the existing normalizeHubUrl check.

🐛 Proposed fix
   const api = (input.apiBase ?? "https://api.github.com").replace(/\/+$/, "");
-  const owner = input.repo.split("/")[0] ?? "";
+  if (!/^[^/\s]+\/[^/\s]+$/.test(input.repo)) {
+    throw new CliError(
+      "E_INVALID_INPUT",
+      `--repo must be "owner/name", got "${input.repo}"`,
+      "e.g. --repo autonoco/pinbox",
+    );
+  }
+  const owner = input.repo.split("/")[0] as string;

Reject query strings and fragments in --hub.

A value such as https://hub.example/_pinbox?debug=1 passes validation. webhookUrl() then creates https://hub.example/_pinbox?debug=1/webhooks/github, so the Worker does not receive GitHub webhooks. Reject URLs with search or hash before returning hub.

Parse wrangler.jsonc with comment-aware JSONC handling.

JSONC permits comments, but both regular-expression paths treat commented examples as active settings. If a commented routes example appears first, setup derives the wrong hub URL. If a commented variable appears first, setup updates the comment and leaves the deployed variable unchanged.

…NC comments, documents itself

- normalizeHubUrl refuses a query string or fragment: webhookUrl() appends a path.
- runGithubSetup validates owner/name before any side effect, the same shape the
  connector enforces on GITHUB_REPO.
- hubFromWranglerConfig and patchWranglerVars mask // and /* */ comments (strings
  honoured) before matching, so a commented-out example is never the target.
- skillgen recurses into subcommands: pinbox github setup and its flags now render.
  Generated copies regenerated.

Every override I had added was for a case I imagined, not one that exists:
- --repo: the origin remote is the repo; no origin means nothing to link to.
- --worker: detection now searches four levels deep (node_modules skipped)
  and takes the shallowest wrangler config naming PinboxHubDO.
- --name: GitHub's manifest review page lets you edit the name before Create.
- --print-secrets: when wrangler cannot set a secret, the values are printed
  automatically, with the reason on stderr; setup still completes.
- --hub: derived from a custom_domain route, else asked at the terminal; the
  flow needs a browser, so there is no headless case for a flag to serve.
