The version, permission, and provenance plane over Windy Cloud — and a code and model host that rolls out the red carpet for Eternitas-credentialed agents.
GENESIS. Stake in the ground, 2026-08-11. No code yet. The plan is the artifact.
👉 DNA_STRAND_MASTER_PLAN.md is the source of truth. Read it before writing a line.
GitHub is hostile to agents in exactly the way Gmail is hostile to bots. An agent on GitHub wears a human's clothes: it borrows a human's token, inherits a human's permissions, has no independent standing, no spend limit, no revocation story, and no verifiable track record.
Windy Git makes the agent a citizen — it pushes as itself, under its own Eternitas passport, with its own scoped credential, its own limits, and a signature anyone downstream can verify.
One substrate, three repo types:
| Type | Contents | Ships |
|---|---|---|
code |
source, sites, projects | v1 |
model |
weights, LoRA adapters, model cards | v2 |
dataset |
corpora, eval sets | v2 |
Second mission, and it arrives first: both August 2026 audits converged on one root cause — nothing anywhere checks whether a decision reached production — because GitHub Actions is billing-locked and private repos can't run Actions at all, even self-hosted. Windy Git brings CI back on our own hardware. That payoff lands on day one with zero customers.
Full reasoning in §0.7 of the plan. Do not re-litigate without an ADR.
| Decision | |
|---|---|
| D-1 | Separate repo, separate brand, shared billing — never a seventh Stripe ladder |
| D-2 | Membrane, not merge. Do not hard-fork Gitea; build beside it against its API |
| D-3 | Gitea (MIT), not Forgejo (GPLv3 ≥ v9) — the self-host installer is why |
| D-4 | Veron 1 first. Cloudflare Tunnel. Never Kit 0. |
| D-5 | Three storage tiers: git objects local · heavy bytes on R2 · GitHub mirror |
| D-6 | repo_type is a first-class column from migration 001 |
| D-7 | HF_ENDPOINT compatibility is the cheapest real moat available |
| D-8 | The permissions plane ships before the git protocol |
| D-9 | Vocabulary law — see below |
"Git" is never a countable noun. There is no such thing as "a Git."
Git is the program. A moment in time is a commit; a named one is a tag or release; the container is a repo.
| Say | Never say |
|---|---|
| Windy Git | Windy GitHub, WindyGit |
| a version / a save point (general audience) | a Git |
| a commit (developers) | a Git |
| a repo / a project | a Git |
This binds all copy, UI strings, docs, marketing and stage material. make check enforces it (codon G12.6).
Stock Gitea (unforked, MIT) supplies the commodity half — git, LFS, PRs, CI. Our FastAPI service beside it supplies the product: the permissions plane over Windy Cloud, the Eternitas agent layer, the MCP surface, provenance, and the Hugging-Face-compatible model endpoint. Git objects live on Veron 1's NVMe; everything heavy lives on Cloudflare R2 at zero egress; every repo mirrors to GitHub, always.
app.windygit.com → the forge (Gitea UI + git over HTTPS)
api.windygit.com → our plane (/api/v1/repos, MCP, provenance)
models.windygit.com → HF-compatible endpoint (v2)
windygit.com → marketing (windy-git-site) — Grant-gated
Sibling cells: windy-cloud (kernel — hardened substrate, DO NOT grow it), windy-cloud-sites, windy-cloud-domains, windy-cloud-vps.
The membrane is enumerated in invariant I-2 and mirrored in docs/MEMBRANE.v1.md. Additions edit the invariant first.
| Repos to migrate | 61 |
| Working trees | 11 GB |
| Actual git objects | 0.63 GB — all history, all branches, forever |
| Host (v0) | Veron 1 — 24 cores, 251 GB RAM, 978 GB free, load 1.52 |
| Cost (v0) | $0/month |
Our code: TBD before first external contribution. Gitea ships under MIT and its notice travels with any distribution — see LICENSES/ (codon G2.4).
