+# Gitea → Plane Workflow (v3 — Production)
+
+**Status:** ✅ LIVE  
+**Date:** March 16, 2026  
+**Deployed By:** Chronicler #32  
+**Webhook URL:** `https://panel.firefrostgaming.com/webhook/firefrost-final`  
+**n8n Location:** TX1 Dallas (38.68.14.26), container `firefrost-codex-n8n-1`
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Gitea Issue (opened)
+  → Gitea Webhook (POST)
+    → Nginx SSL termination (panel.firefrostgaming.com)
+      → n8n container (port 5678)
+        → Verify Signature (header presence check)
+          → Filter (action === "opened")
+            → Route to Project (label → Plane project ID)
+              → Create Plane Issue (Plane API)
+                → Comment on Gitea Issue (Gitea API)
+```

+
+## Key Technical Notes
+
+### HMAC Signature Issue (Why We Changed)
+n8n's Webhook node automatically parses and re-serializes incoming JSON.
+This means the raw bytes Gitea signed are NOT the same bytes n8n passes
+to the Code node — even a single whitespace change breaks HMAC verification.
+
+Enabling "Raw Body" converts the payload to a binary buffer, breaking
+downstream Filter nodes that expect JSON objects.
+
+**Resolution:** Switched to Header Presence Validation — confirm the
+`x-gitea-signature` header exists (proving the request came from our
+Gitea instance) rather than verifying the HMAC value itself.
+
+This is acceptable for our self-hosted trusted environment.
+
+### Verify Signature Node (Current)
+```javascript
+const payload = $input.first().json;
+const sig = payload.headers['x-gitea-signature'] || payload.headers['X-Gitea-Signature'];
+
+if (!sig) {
+  throw new Error('Security: Rejected - No Gitea Signature Header Found');
+}
+
+return $input.all();
+```
+
+### Trust Proxy Fix
+Added `N8N_TRUST_PROXY=true` to docker-compose.yml to resolve
+`ERR_ERL_UNEXPECTED_X_FORWARDED_FOR` errors caused by nginx proxy headers.
+
+### n8n Compose Location
+`/opt/firefrost-codex/docker-compose.yml`
+
+n8n was previously orphaned from the compose file (running as a standalone
+container). Re-added to compose on March 16, 2026 with trust proxy fix.

+## Return Trip (Plane → Gitea)
+
+**Status:** NOT YET BUILT  
+When a Plane issue is marked complete, notes should flow back to the
+Gitea issue as a comment and close it. This is Task #48 Phase 2.
