GitCafe pull requests couldn't request reviewers or apply labels from T3 Code, although GitCafe's API supports both. The PR detail view also never showed a GitCafe PR's reviewers or labels: GitCafe's single pull request read carries neither field (only the list response does), so they always came back empty.

This turns on labels and reviewers for the GitCafe driver:

• The detail read fetches /pulls/{pr}/reviewers and /pulls/{pr}/labels alongside its other reads.
• Reviewer candidates come from /reviewer-candidates, without the PR author. GitCafe bots are marked as bots.
• Label candidates are the repository's labels, marked when applied. T3 Code picks labels by name; the driver sends GitCafe's label ids.
• GitCafe's PUT replaces the whole reviewer or label list, so one toggle reads the list, changes it, and writes it back fenced on the pull request's version. A concurrent change fails the toggle instead of being overwritten.
• Viewers can change reviewers and labels when GitCafe lets them edit the PR and it's open, the same rule as Forgejo.
• A token without pr:review:read gets a 403 on the reviewer read; the detail then shows no reviewers instead of failing. Any other error still fails the read.

It also fixes GitCafe pull requests failing to open with "GitCafe returned an unreadable response". git.cafe reports merge.conflicts as none and pending as well as the documented unknown and conflicting, and the driver rejected the undocumented two. Any state is now read: none shows as mergeable, unrecognized states as unknown.

The web and mobile clients already gate these controls on the capability and permission flags, so no client or contract changes were needed. The user guide drops reviewers and labels from GitCafe's missing features; line comments are the one left.

Verified with the package's provider tests. The read endpoints were checked against git.cafe; writes were not exercised against a live PR.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR enables GitCafe reviewer requests and label management by adding new reads, whole-list writes, and UI permission exposure on existing pull requests. It also changes GitCafe’s default advertised capabilities, so the runtime and product-default impact warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

GitCafe pull requests now include reviewer and label data. The provider supports reviewer candidate listing, reviewer requests, label candidate listing, and label assignment. The documentation states that line comments are unavailable.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit the reviewer fallback to HTTP 403.

The API maps HTTP 5xx responses and network errors to reason: "failed". The current catch converts those errors into an empty reviewer list, so the detail response can report no reviewers even when reviewers exist.

Keep the permission-denied fallback, but check error.status === 403:

Suggested fix

-              error.reason === "unauthenticated" || error.reason === "rate-limited"
-                ? Effect.fail(error)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Gate reviewer controls on GitCafe’s reviewer permissions.

listReviewerCandidates runs when the pull request is open and editable, but GitCafe requires pr:reviewers:write for /reviewer-candidates and pr:review:read for /reviewers. A viewer can pass the current guard and still receive HTTP 403. Unlike getChangeRequest, this method has no 403 handling, so reviewer controls can fail while detail loading succeeds. Gate this operation on permissions that cover both endpoints, or handle forbidden responses without exposing unusable controls.

276-286: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use Effect.catchIf for the 403 structural check.

Both places call Effect.catch and then choose between handling and re-failing. isForbidden is a structural check on the HTTP status. catchIf handles only the matching errors and passes all other errors through. This is the form the repository guidelines require.

The other checks are fine. toggleListed reads the pull version first and then the list, and the PUT sends expectedVersion. This keeps the write version-fenced. The 403 fallback for reviewers in getChangeRequest is intentional and was already discussed in earlier review threads. I do not raise it again.

♻️ Proposed refactor

-        Effect.catch((error) =>
-          isForbidden(error)
-            ? Effect.fail(

-                  operation,
-                  "This GitCafe token cannot request reviewers. It needs the pr:review:read and pr:reviewers:write scopes.",
-                  error,

-              )
-            : Effect.fail(error),

-            ),
+            Effect.catchIf(isForbidden, () => Effect.succeed({ items: [], next: null })),

As per path instructions and coding guidelines: "Effect.catch is for handling the whole channel; catchIf is for structural checks like a platform error code."

On CodeRabbit's catchIf nitpick from the 00:17 review: applied in 58898f5 to the reviewer-scope helper. The detail view's reviewer read keeps Effect.catch: on the generic readPages result, catchIf leaves any in the error channel and fails the Effect typecheck (anyUnknownInErrorContext), the same as catchTags did.

[juliusmarminge]

On CodeRabbit's two outside-diff notes from the 23:51 review:

• Gate reviewer controls on reviewer permissions: fixed in 3a2253c. GitCafe has no endpoint that reports a token's scopes, so gating up front would cost an extra auth read on every detail load. A 403 from the candidate list, the reviewer read, or a reviewer write now fails with an error naming pr:review:read and pr:reviewers:write instead of GitCafe's bare refusal. Covered by a test.
• Use Effect.catchTags for the reviewer read: leaving Effect.catch. catchTags was the first version; on the generic readPages result it leaves any in the error channel and fails the Effect typecheck (anyUnknownInErrorContext). The fallback is still limited to a 403.
