Implements direct API retrieval of session-critical documents, reducing startup friction and ensuring real-time access to current repository state. New Files: - fetch-session-docs.sh: Automated startup script (executable) * Fetches 5 critical documents via Gitea API * Base64 decoding with error handling * Colored output with success/failure reporting * Saves to /home/claude/session-startup-docs/ * Graceful fallback to manual paste if API fails - docs/core/GITEA-API-INTEGRATION.md: Complete documentation * API authentication pattern (token header) * Endpoint usage and response format * Freshness verification (SHA comparison) * Error handling (5 failure modes) * Rate limiting analysis (no concerns) * Integration with Codex and sparse checkout * Troubleshooting guide * Manual API call examples Updated: - SESSION-HANDOFF-PROTOCOL.md: Added reference to new automation Key Features: - Real-time document retrieval (no hourly sync delay) - Token: e0e330cba1749b01ab505093a160e4423ebbbe36 - Tested: 5/5 files successfully retrieved - Complements Firefrost Codex (different use cases) - Resilient: Falls back to manual paste on failure Architecture Pattern: Designed through Michael + Chronicler #48 + Microsoft Copilot collaboration. Copilot provided clean engineering-grade API pattern for deterministic file retrieval vs heavyweight platform approach. Use Case: - Codex (Dify): Semantic search across 359 docs - API fetch: Direct retrieval of known startup files Status: Production-ready, tested successfully March 30, 2026 Created by: Chronicler #48 Credit: Microsoft Copilot (architecture), Gemini (Codex integration context)
