fix(gitea): WriteFile creates via POST, updates via PUT (real contents API)

A live token-scope probe against mathias/ai-sessions revealed gitea's
contents API uses POST to create and PUT (sha required) to update — the
first impl always PUT'd, so creating a new summary 422'd "[SHA]: Required".
The httptest mock had the same wrong assumption. Pick the method by
whether the file exists (GET sha). Token confirmed contents:write
(push:true) by the probe.

+# Capture capability — implementation report (as-built)
+
+**Status:** Shipped 2026-06-23, tagged `v0.11.0`. Epic hyperguild #49 (sub-issues #50–#55) closed.
+**Spec:** `specs/capture-bdd-spec.md` (the design contract this implements).
+**Governed by:** `infra/docs/architecture/01-invariants.md` (I1–I5) + the I2 acceptance ledger entry in `infra/docs/security-baseline.md`.
+
+This document records what was actually built, where it lives, how it maps to the spec, and what was deferred — for onboarding and future audit. It does not restate the design rationale (see the spec and the linked brain entries).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Outcome
+
+One uniform capture capability — insights → brain, action items → Gitea tickets, optional summary → ai-sessions — reachable identically from every harness:
+
+- **In-process / direct-REST harnesses** (Claude Code CLI, Agentsquad, claude.ai Code, headless): `POST /capture` on the brain server.
+- **MCP-native harnesses** (claude.ai Chat/Cowork/Design, Crush, Pi, LLM Council): the `capture` MCP tool, reached over the existing `/mcp` OAuth connector.
+
+Both doors call the **same** `CaptureService`; only the transport and credential assembly differ. The persistence behaviour (validation, classification, I1 gate, orchestration, I5 audit, partial receipt) is written once.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Architecture (as-built)
+
+```
+                 POST /capture (REST)          capture MCP tool
+                 capturehttp.Handler           mcp.Server.brainCapture
+                          \                          /
+                           \   (auth → principal →  /
+                            \   origin; decode)    /
+                             v                    v
+                        capture.CaptureService (use-case, pure)
+            ┌───────────────┬───────────────┬──────────────┬───────────────┐

+        │                                                                     │

+        + wing index + auto-tunnel + graph re-index                  + NtfyNotifier + Reconcile
+```
+
+- **`internal/capture/`** — the use-case + ports + entities. Pure; no I/O. Owns validation (fail-closed), effective-classification resolution (stricter wins), the **I1 sovereignty gate**, best-effort orchestration, the **two-phase I5 audit** (Reserve before writes / Record after), and the partial-aware receipt.
+- **`internal/brainstore/`** — concrete `BrainStore` wrapping the #45 `api` primitives + wiki upkeep (wing `_index`, auto-tunnel, graph re-index). The MCP `brain_write`/`brain_update`/`brain_get` handlers were re-pointed at it: one implementation, not two.
+- **`internal/classification/`** — `public < internal < confidential` taxonomy + per-wing/repo tags from an optional `classification.yaml`; fail-safe to confidential.
+- **`internal/gitea/`** — `IssueTracker` over the Gitea REST API; owner forced to `mathias`; token only in the Authorization header.
+- **`internal/capturehttp/`** — the REST adapter + the shared `Authenticate` / `DecodeRequest` / `OriginResolver` (also used by the MCP tool).
+- **`internal/audit/`** — `SlogSink` (default) and the `DegradingSink` (loki + durable `FileBuffer` + `NtfyNotifier` + `Reconcile`).
+- **`internal/mcp/`** — the `capture` relay tool + principal threading (re-derives the caller's principal from the Bearer header the chassis middleware discards).

+---
+
+## 4. Invariant compliance
+
+| Inv | How satisfied |
+|-----|---------------|
+| **I1** sovereign containment | Effective classification = stricter(caller-declared, target-derived #50). Origin is **server-derived from the authenticated principal**, never `context.harness`. Confidential + us-nexus origin → refused before any write; refusal audited. Asserted-vs-derived mismatch → security event. |
+| **I2** deliberate acceptance | The relay's cross-harness reach is recorded in `infra/docs/security-baseline.md` with six containment properties + Revisit-if, **merged before relay code shipped** (infra #151). |
+| **I3** GitOps reconcilability | Env + `gitea-api-token` ExternalSecret under `infra/k3s/apps/supervisor/`, Flux-reconciled; image bumped by CD. No untracked runtime. |
+| **I5** auditability | Every capture emits a request-level audit record. Classification-aware degradation: confidential + sink-down → hard-refuse; internal/public + sink-down → durable local buffer + ntfy + reconcile-on-recovery; floor → refuse if nothing can record. |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Operational reference (env)
+
+Set on the `ingestion` deployment (`infra/k3s/apps/supervisor/ingestion-deployment.yaml`):
+
+| Env | Purpose | Notes |
+|-----|---------|-------|
+| `BRAIN_GITEA_URL` / `BRAIN_GITEA_TOKEN` | enables the `IssueTracker` → gates `/capture` + the MCP tool | token from 1P `DMABE_GITEA_API_TOKEN` via ESO; unset ⇒ capture disabled |
+| `BRAIN_LOKI_URL` | activates the `DegradingSink` | unset ⇒ `SlogSink` (audit to stdout → alloy → loki; no refuse/buffer semantics) |
+| `BRAIN_NTFY_URL` / `BRAIN_NTFY_TOKEN` | degraded-state alerts | optional |
+| `BRAIN_CAPTURE_SOVEREIGN_PRINCIPALS` | JWT subjects treated as sovereign-soil | comma-separated; static-token caller is always sovereign; unknown JWT ⇒ us-nexus (fail safe) |
+| `BRAIN_AUDIT_RECONCILE_INTERVAL` | buffer→loki replay tick | default 60s |
+
+The audit buffer lives at `<brain>/.audit-buffer/capture.jsonl` on the brain hostPath (nodeSelector-pinned to koala) — durable across restart without a separate PV.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Tests
+
+67 test functions across the six packages. Coverage maps to the spec's Gherkin: happy path, supersede-not-duplicate, fail-closed validation, partial-failure receipt, dry-run, stricter-classification-wins, I1 confidential-via-us-nexus-refused / via-sovereign-allowed / asserted-label-ignored / caller-cannot-forge-origin, I5 confidential-refuse / internal-buffer / floor-refuse / reconcile / buffer-survives-restart, and the MCP relay tool (forwards, preserves principal, unauth rejected). `task check` green.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Deferred (not in this epic)
+
+Tracked here so they aren't lost; file as issues when picked up:
+
+- **SKILL veneer** — the `close-session` SKILL becomes the claude.ai trigger/harvest layer that calls capture.
+- **Per-harness token provisioning** for Crush / Pi / LLM Council (claude.ai is done via the existing `/mcp` connector).
+- **Harvest adapters** — transcript-parse vs chat-memory-reconstruct vs agent-runlog, each assembling capture args at its own fidelity.
+- **`SummaryWriter` impl** — ai-sessions summary persistence (the port + path logic exist; the concrete writer is nil today, so a request with a summary fails that one item).
