slowly working on the revised version of the chat, my rethink the whole idea

## Summary

Implements the gitea_coder role as defined in issue #11, providing a complete workflow automation layer for Git operations with scope enforcement.

## Features

### Branch Management with Scope Gating
- ✅ Enforces branch naming conventions (feature/, fix/, refactor/, docs/, test/, chore/)
- ✅ Prevents direct pushes to protected branches (main, master, develop, dev)
- ✅ Auto-appends issue numbers to branch names

### Unified Commit Workflow
- ✅ Automatic create vs replace detection
- ✅ Conventional commits format with issue references
- ✅ Detailed commit message generation

### PR Creation
- ✅ Validates source branch is not protected
- ✅ Auto-references issues in PR description
- ✅ Uses existing gitea/dev.py operations

### Ticket Integration
- ✅ Reads and parses issue requirements
- ✅ Extracts testing criteria and technical notes
- ✅ Suggests branch names from issue content

## Files Added
- `gitea/coder.py` - Complete gitea_coder role implementation

## Files Modified
- `README.md` - Added gitea_coder documentation

## Testing Criteria
✅ Can create feature branch from ticket
✅ Can modify files according to ticket requirements
✅ Can generate commit messages with issue references
✅ Can create PR for review

 description: Interact with Gitea repositories - native tool calling optimized for high-tier LLMs with robust error handling
 requirements: pydantic, httpx
 changelog:
+  1.4.2:
+    - Fixed renamed update_file to replace file, as update implied diff

+    - Fixed redundant __user__ checks in _get_token, _get_repo, _get_branch, _get_org
+    - Fixed merge_pull_request: proper conflict detection, merged status check, and empty response handling
+    - Fixed delete_file: proper 404 handling before raise_for_status
+    - Fixed update_file: proper 404 handling before raise_for_status
   1.4.0:
     - Added CRUD operations for Issues (get, update, close, reopen, delete, comments)

+title: Multi-Model Chat Orchestrator
+author: Jeff Smith + Kimi K2
+version: 1.0.0
+license: MIT
+required_open_webui_version: 0.7.0
+requirements: httpx, pydantic
+description: |
+  Genuine model-to-model conversations with full persistence. Enables an orchestrator model to
+  coordinate real chats between different models. Features relationship-based model discovery,
+  programmatic tagging, and robust multi-turn conversation handling.
+
+🚀 QUICK START:
+  1. list_models() - See available models (no limits)
+  2. get_models_by_tag("cap:artist") - Find models by capability tag
+  3. discover_model_relationships("rel:works-with") - Visualize model networks
+  4. chat_with_model("new", "luna", "Hello!") - Start new orchestrated chat
+  5. chat_with_model("{chat_id}", None, "Continue...") - Multi-turn conversation
+
+🔑 ORCHESTRATOR PATTERN:
+  - YOU are the orchestrator - you coordinate, you don't write content
+  - Target models receive messages with injection: "(You may respond in chat {chat_id})"
+  - All completions are automatically persisted with proper parent-child linkage
+  - Use cap:artist, rel:works-with-luna tags for intelligent model selection

     Re-entrant safe: Multiple concurrent calls accumulate images correctly.
-
-    v1.7.0: Added VeniceImage namespace class for helper functions to avoid
-    method collisions with Open WebUI framework introspection.
-    v1.6.0: Added UserValves for SAFE_MODE and HIDE_WATERMARK with proper

 changelog:
+  1.7.1:
+    - changed return type from string to dictionary, mirroring the default tools behavior
+    - fixed issues with user valve overrides - Watermake and Safe Mode
+    - status message will display either [SFW] or [NSFW] depending on flag not content
   1.7.0:
     - Added VeniceImage namespace class for helper functions
     - Moved get_api_key, parse_venice_image_response to VeniceImage namespace
