jared 28c500f47a ci: mirror main and tags to the GitHub mirror
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m23s
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 4m2s
A plain non-force git push rather than Gitea's built-in push mirror. A
push mirror force-updates the refs it owns, so a Merge clicked on a GitHub
PR would be silently overwritten on the next sync -- the PR still reading
'Merged' while its commit became unreachable. A non-force push is rejected
instead, which turns that into a red CI run.

Secret is PAT_GH, not GITHUB_MIRROR_PAT: Gitea reserves the GITHUB_ and
GITEA_ prefixes for its own injected variables and refuses secrets using
them.

# Mirror the canonical Gitea repo to the public GitHub mirror.
#
# Deliberately a plain `git push`, NOT Gitea's built-in push mirror. A push
# mirror force-updates the refs it owns: if anyone ever clicks Merge on a
# GitHub PR, the next sync silently overwrites main, the PR still displays
# "Merged", the commit becomes unreachable, and nothing anywhere says so.
# A non-force push is REJECTED as non-fast-forward the moment that happens,
# turning a silent data-loss trap into a red CI run in a place we already look.
#
# Do NOT add --force here, and do NOT add GitHub branch protection to the
# mirror: protection rules block the mirror's legitimate pushes too, breaking
# normal syncing to catch an abnormal case.
#
# PAT_GH is a GitHub personal access token (repo + workflow scope; workflow is
# required because this pushes .github/workflows/). It is stored as a Gitea
# Actions secret. The name cannot begin with GITHUB_ or GITEA_ -- Gitea
# reserves both prefixes for its own injected variables and rejects the secret.
