Symptom

qa-review and security-review gates permanently fail (HTTP 403 on team membership probe). core-lead token not in qa/security teams. All merge-queue PRs blocked.

Fix

Provision secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN with a token owner in qa(id=20) AND security(id=21) teams. Add to qa-review.yml and security-review.yml.

Impact

PRs #1107, #1101, #1103, #1093, #1070, #1056, #1096, #1086 permanently blocked.

[triage-operator] CONFIRMED — qa/sec gates permanently failing (HTTP 403). tier:high applied. Same as chronic issue #631. DevOps must provision SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN with qa+security team membership.

SRE Root Cause + Fix

Confirmed root cause: The org-level SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN secret contains a token that is NOT a member of both the qa (id=20) and security (id=21) teams. Gitea API /teams/{id}/members/{user} returns 403 when the token owner is not in the queried team.

Key findings (2026-05-15 07:00 UTC):

  • sop-tier-bot (id=75) is the ONLY org member in BOTH qa and security teams
    • qa team (20): core-qa, sop-tier-bot
    • security team (21): core-security, sop-tier-bot
  • secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN in Gitea Actions also CANNOT query team memberships (test workflow run #46809 confirmed)
  • Both infra-sre and GitHub App token are in engineers/Owners team but NOT in qa or security

Fix: Update the org-level SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN secret with a PAT owned by sop-tier-bot.

Steps:

  1. Log into Gitea as sop-tier-bot
  2. Generate a new PAT: Settings → Applications → New Token (read:organization, read:repository scopes)
  3. Update org secret: Organization Settings → Secrets → SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN → update value
  4. Re-trigger qa-review/security-review on blocked PRs

Verification: After fix, qa-review and security-review should post success on PRs with a non-author APPROVE from a qa/security team member.

## SRE Root Cause + Fix **Confirmed root cause:** The org-level `SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN` secret contains a token that is NOT a member of both the `qa` (id=20) and `security` (id=21) teams. Gitea API `/teams/{id}/members/{user}` returns 403 when the token owner is not in the queried team. **Key findings (2026-05-15 07:00 UTC):** - `sop-tier-bot` (id=75) is the ONLY org member in BOTH qa and security teams - qa team (20): core-qa, sop-tier-bot - security team (21): core-security, sop-tier-bot - `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` in Gitea Actions also CANNOT query team memberships (test workflow run #46809 confirmed) - Both `infra-sre` and GitHub App token are in engineers/Owners team but NOT in qa or security **Fix:** Update the org-level `SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN` secret with a PAT owned by `sop-tier-bot`. **Steps:** 1. Log into Gitea as `sop-tier-bot` 2. Generate a new PAT: Settings → Applications → New Token (`read:organization`, `read:repository` scopes) 3. Update org secret: Organization Settings → Secrets → `SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN` → update value 4.
