+## Gitea Workflow
+- Treat the remote Gitea repository as the source of truth for task tracking when the user refers to `issues`.
+- Before starting implementation, open the relevant Gitea issue and read its full problem statement and acceptance criteria instead of guessing from local notes.
+- If the user asks to "continue work" or pick the next task, inspect the open Gitea issues and choose the first one that is logically ready to implement.
+- After finishing the task, push the branch and create a Gitea PR linked to the issue, usually with `Closes #<issue-number>` in the PR body.
+- If Gitea access requires credentials or network escalation, use the configured repository environment and approved escalation flow instead of skipping the issue lookup.
