Summary

Improve GitHub Personal Access Token permission guidance and make missing Star permissions easier to diagnose, especially when using fine-grained tokens.

Changes

  • Add a reusable GitHub token permission guide to the login screen and General settings.
  • Document the permissions required for managing Stars:
    • Classic PAT: public_repo, or repo for private repositories.
    • Fine-grained PAT: Starring: read/write and Metadata: read.
  • Clarify optional permissions used by Gists, Star Lists, fork sync, and workflow dispatch.
  • Add a direct link to GitHub's token settings.
  • Detect GitHub's 403 Resource not accessible by personal access token response and expose it as a dedicated GitHubTokenPermissionError.
  • Show a localized permission-specific error during batch Star import instead of a generic API error.
  • Add/update tests for token permission guidance and Star permission failures.
  • Add translations for the new guidance and error message across supported locales.

Why

A token can successfully authenticate the user while still lacking permissions required by individual features. Previously, users could therefore sign in successfully but later receive a generic 403 when checking or adding Stars.

This change explains the required permissions before the token is saved and provides a more actionable error when GitHub rejects a Star-related request because of insufficient token permissions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 新功能
    • 登录和令牌设置页面新增 GitHub Token 权限说明,涵盖细粒度与经典令牌的权限要求及令牌存储位置。
    • 批量 Star 遇到令牌权限不足时,会显示相应提示;无法检查权限的仓库会标记为不可用。
    • 权限说明和提示支持多种语言。

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: amintacccp

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e430a

The change adds GitHub token guidance and clearer batch-star permission errors. No remaining user-facing failure is identified, so the PR is ready to merge subject to normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e430a

The change improves permission guidance and denial feedback without adding access or weakening the inspected controls. No introduced security concern was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns server-side proxy token ownership, which was not verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The error-classification change applies across requests using the shared API service, while localized feedback is added to batch Star import. The inspected changes do not expand credential routing or reachable mutation endpoints. Effective GitHub authority remains that of the supplied direct token or the existing backend proxy credential.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new guide receives no credential and makes no API request; its settings link has a fixed GitHub destination and opener isolation. Direct API calls use the supplied bearer token. Proxy calls use backend authentication and delegate GitHub credentials to the server; the server-side identity binding remains unverified.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Permission denial leaves preview rows unavailable and execution rows failed, both unselected. Execution continues sequentially after individual failures, adds repositories only after successful Star requests, and reports backend synchronization failure separately. Busy guards prevent overlapping batch operations, and finally blocks release progress state. These transition controls are unchanged by the PR.

请使用当前响应判断速率限制状态。

如果前一个响应将 rateLimitRemaining 设为 0,后一个权限错误的 403 响应没有 X-RateLimit-Remaining,当前代码会继续使用旧值。代码会先抛出速率限制错误,因此不会识别 Resource not accessible by personal access token。GitHub 不保证每个 403 响应都包含该响应头。

       const remaining = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining');
       const reset = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Reset');
+      const currentRateLimitRemaining = remaining === null ? null : parseInt(remaining, 10);
       if (remaining !== null) {

审计提出的两处问题已在 c6c64d7 修复:补全了细粒度 Token 的可选权限说明,并改为只根据当前响应判断是否触发限流,避免将权限错误误判为限流。已补回归测试,相关检查和构建通过。

…uidance refactor

LoginScreen's numbered token-creation steps were replaced by the reusable
GitHubTokenPermissions component, but the six loginScreen keys the old block
used were left behind in every locale. They have no remaining references.
- 权限说明改为 Fine-grained / Classic 双 Tab 向导,每个功能点一行,
  关键权限点以加粗主题色虚线下划线高亮(10 语言文案全部重写为结构化 key)
- 新增「Token 仅保存在本机与自建后端」说明
- 卡片左右分栏(lg 以上),左侧登录表单 + GitHub 热力图风格点阵装饰,
  右侧权限说明;窄屏自动回退单列
- 卡片上下留白加大,两栏内容垂直居中;页面改为安全垂直居中,
  矮视口不再裁切 logo(去除根容器 overflow-hidden,改用 m-auto)
- 浅色模式 GitHub 圆形图标改为黑底白线;深色保持 primary 色调
- 统一使用 Loader2 加载动画,顶栏与 logo 视觉打磨

审计结论

CodeRabbit 两个发现已确认修复(验证于 c6c64d7):

  1. ✅ 403 分类改用当前响应的 X-RateLimit-Remaining(remaining === '0'),不再误用上一次请求留下的 this.rateLimitRemaining,权限 403 不会被误判为限流;附回归测试覆盖「前次响应 remaining=0 + 后次无 header」场景。
  2. ✅ token-permissions-optional 全部 10 个 locale 补齐 fine-grained token 的 Gists/Contents/Actions 权限,未为 Star Lists 添加 fine-grained 权限。

独立审计:i18n 10 语言 key 一致性(含 check-i18n 全量 + PR 模式翻译门禁)、tsc、调用方影响(isRepositoryStarred/starRepository 的其余调用方均为通用错误处理,新错误类型兼容)、与最新 main 无合并冲突(#418 未改同文件)——均通过。审计中发现并清理了 LoginScreen 重构遗留的 6 个无引用死键 × 10 locale(04303db)。

后续提交 1ec651a:登录界面左右分栏改版——权限说明改为 Fine-grained / Classic 双 Tab 配置向导、逐功能点拆分并高亮关键权限点、新增 Token 仅存本地说明、GitHub 热力图风格点阵装饰、垂直安全居中等。1483 个测试全过,lint / tsc / check-i18n 干净。

@Khk-NL 界面做了一些调整。之前因为说明文字过多,导致将“已有后台数据”的入口挤到了可视范围外,用户如果没有滚动页面是看不到这个入口的。另外大段文字无排版可读性差,做了一些排版优化。

为 starSelected 增加权限错误回归测试。

现有测试只覆盖 preview 中的 isRepositoryStarred 失败。它不会执行 starSelected 的独立错误映射。请让 starRepository 抛出 GitHubTokenPermissionError,并断言失败行包含本地化权限提示。
