Problem

The release-preview audit found that forge.nvim is demoable and already has a real v0.2.1 stable release, but several final release/announcement polish items remain.

This tracker keeps the follow-up queue ordered so the work does not get lost across local notes, issue #1, and one-off bug reports.

Must fix before wider announcement

#660 Fix Forgejo default-branch resolution
#663 Make Forgejo release deletion argv-safe
#664 Reconcile stale release surfaces after v0.2.1
#674 Remove README quick-start section introduced by #673

Should fix soon

#662 Detect forge source from parsed remote host
#666 Polish README release workflow mention before wider announcement

Nice polish / hardening

#661 Validate keys.log.filter
#665 Report vim.ui.open failures in browse actions

Demo notes

The plugin is preview-recording-ready if the demo avoids destructive actions and does not rely on new Forgejo CI runs. Use existing CI history while the Spark runner is down.

Good preview flow:

:checkhealth forge
:lua require("forge").open() root picker
PR list and PR checks/logs from existing data
issue or PR compose buffer without submitting
source yank / browse for current file or range
release picker browse/copy actions

Verification policy while Spark is down

Remote Forgejo CI cannot currently be awaited. PRs in this queue should be locally verified, ideally with nix develop .#ci --command just ci, and their PR bodies should state that remote CI was not awaited because the Spark runner is unavailable.
