melnicenkoandClaude Opus 5 c1e3a059d3 Verallgemeinerte Erkenntnisse aus einem Ticketdurchlauf einarbeiten
Design-Paritaet 1.5 -> 1.6:
- Site-Set-page.tsconfig erreicht keine Datensaetze in Ordnern neben dem
  Site-Root; solche Konfiguration gehoert in die globale page.tsconfig
  der Extension. Symptom ist, dass eine TCEFORM-Aenderung genau fuer
  einen Datensatztyp wirkungslos bleibt.
- Angebotene und gerenderte Crop-Variante koennen auseinanderlaufen,
  dann beschneidet die Redaktion ins Leere.
- Feste Bildhoehe laesst das Seitenverhaeltnis ueber die Breakpoints
  wandern, sodass kein Zuschnitt mehr ueberall passt; aspect-ratio statt
  fester Hoehe.
- Umbrechende Labels brauchen eine reservierte Zeilenhoehe, sonst
  springt der Rhythmus des Rasters; dabei die Untermarge des Absatzes
  neutralisieren und die schmalste Geraetebreite pruefen, nicht nur 360.
- :has() laesst sich nicht in :has() verschachteln, die Regel wird
  komplett verworfen - ohne jede Fehlermeldung.
- Neuer Abschnitt zu Meldungen, die Rasterartefakte statt Fehler sind:
  gegen die Referenzseite pruefen, ueber mehrere Zoomstufen UND
  Subpixel-Versaetze messen, das Ganze per Canvas in einem Durchgang -
  und rechtzeitig sagen, dass Geometrie es nicht loest.

v11->v14 1.1 -> 1.2:
- Ein "verlorenes" Feld ist oft ein umgebautes Feld; zwei Spalten werden
  gern zu einem Feld plus Schalter. Erst das neue Modell pruefen, bevor
  man eine fremde Extension patcht - dann ist es eine Datenmigration.
  Dazu die abgesicherte UPDATE-Bedingung und der Hinweis, dass Fluid
  keinen !-Operator kennt.
- Vor "Regression" gegen die Referenzseite pruefen: zwei Tickets zum
  selben fehlenden Element koennen Verlust und Neuwunsch sein.

Cutover 1.1 -> 1.2:
- Eingebettete Fremddienste sperren sich per frame-ancestors oft gegen
  Staging. Solche Tests sind dort in keinem Browser moeglich; frueh
  klaeren, den eigenen Anteil trotzdem pruefen.

Redmine 1.3 -> 1.4:
- Textile beendet den Durchstrich am ersten Bindestrich im Text, ein
  Pfeil laesst also die Handlungsaufforderung ungestrichen stehen; HTML
  hilft nicht, Redmine escapt es. Und das Ergebnis nachsehen, die API
  bestaetigt nur die Speicherung.

redmine-issue-workflow Read and update issues on a self-hosted Redmine via its REST API from the CLI — list/read tickets, add notes, change status, edit an existing journal note in place, and download attachments. Use when a project tracks its work/bugs in Redmine and you need to look up 'the next fixes', check a ticket's details, mark work done, or maintain a collection ('Sammelticket') ticket. Covers: API-key auth via header (never inline the secret), the issues/journals/attachments endpoints, Textile (NOT Markdown) formatting, localized statuses, and the posting-style rules (keep customer-visible notes minimal — strike through or 'erledigt', don't write the bug's cause; don't post unless asked).

Redmine issue workflow (REST API, CLI)

Read and update a self-hosted Redmine project's issues over its REST API from the shell. Redmine is where the team tracks bugs / "next fixes"; you look tickets up, and — only when asked — mark work done.

Placeholders (keep the concrete values in project memory, not here)

  • <REDMINE_URL> — e.g. https://redmine.example.com.
  • <PROJECT_SLUG> — the project identifier (used as project_id), e.g. ivv. (Numeric id also works.)
  • <API_KEY_FILE> — a chmod 600 file holding the per-user REST API key (from Redmine → My account → API access key). Never inline the key — always read it in the header via $(cat …).
  • <ISSUE_ID> / <JOURNAL_ID> — the ticket / journal-note ids.

Auth (every call)

curl -s -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: $(cat <API_KEY_FILE>)" "<REDMINE_URL>/…"

Keeps the secret out of the command line (auto-mode/secret guards block a literal key).

Read

  • Open issues (the "next fixes"): GET /issues.json?project_id=<PROJECT_SLUG>&status_id=open&sort=priority:desc&limit=100 (status_id=open = all non-closed; sort=updated_on:desc to see the newest activity.)
  • One issue with its notes: GET /issues/<ISSUE_ID>.json?include=journals,attachments.
  • Pipe JSON through python3 -c "import sys,json;…" to print id / status / subject / assignee / notes.
  • Statuses may be localized. A German instance uses: Fehler = bug (open), Gewünscht = wishlist/requested, Empfohlen = recommended, Abnahme = ready for customer sign-off. Confirm the instance's own status names via GET /issue_statuses.json before setting one by id.

Update (only when the user asks — see posting style)

  • Add a note / change status / progress on an issue:
    curl -s -X PUT -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: $(cat <API_KEY_FILE>)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"issue":{"notes":"…","status_id":<N>,"done_ratio":<0-100>}}' \
      "<REDMINE_URL>/issues/<ISSUE_ID>.json"      # → 204 No Content on success
    
  • Edit an EXISTING journal note in place (e.g. a collection ticket's item list that one person keeps appending to): PUT /journals/<JOURNAL_ID>.json with {"journal":{"notes":"…"}} → 204. Get the journal id from the issue's include=journals.
  • Collection / "Sammelticket" pattern: one ticket stays open and holds a numbered item list (often in a single journal note). As items are done, strike them through and the ticket stays open for more.

Formatting — Textile, NOT Markdown

Redmine renders Textile by default. Consequences:

  • Strike-through = -text- (Markdown ~~…~~ does nothing).
  • A leading # is an ordered-list item, not a heading (Markdown # headings render as <ol><li>).
  • Bold *text*, italic _text_, inline code @code@.
  • ⚠ A strike-through ENDS at the first - inside the text. Wrapping a whole sentence that contains an arrow (->) closes the <del> right there, leaving the tail — often the action item, "-> please clarify" — un-struck, i.e. still looking open. Inserting a single space (. ->) makes that dash read as an opener instead and the strike-through runs to the end. HTML is no way out: Redmine escapes <del> in journal notes and the raw tag shows.
  • Verify what you wrote actually RENDERED. The API only tells you the source was stored. Fetch the issue page with the same API-key header and grep for <del> — it renders the Textile server-side, so you see exactly what the customer sees. Worth it whenever you strike text through in place.

Posting style (team rules — important)

  • Don't post unless asked. The user often does the Redmine updates themselves; offer/confirm first.
  • Keep customer-visible notes minimal. Do NOT write out the bug's cause / technical explanation in the ticket. To mark something done, strike the item through (-…-) or just write "erledigt" beside it, where appropriate. The detailed root-cause/fix belongs in your own notes/memory, not the ticket. Two or three sentences is the norm: what is done, where to check it. No commit hashes, no file names, no before/after measurements — the customer did not ask how, only whether.
  • No icons, emoji or decorative symbols in ticket text (no /✔/→/⚠, no bullets made of glyphs). Plain sentences, plus Textile markup where it carries meaning (strike-through, bold). Team rule.
  • Never set or change assigned_to_id. Post the note and the status, leave the assignee alone — reassigning is the user's call and a wrong one pulls a colleague into a ticket that isn't theirs. Note that status_id and done_ratio are fine to set; only ownership is off limits.
  • Before posting a status change, prefer to draft the (short, German if the project is German) note and confirm the target status with the user.

Who does what — the same team across all TYPO3 projects

The assignee tells you what KIND of work a ticket is. These roles hold across projects, so read them before deciding whether a ticket is yours to act on. Any of them may be the one operating you — don't assume which, and don't assume a ticket is theirs just because they are asking about it.

  • Iljasenior developer. Code, templates, SCSS, TypoScript, deployments.
  • Svensenior developer and maintainer of the shared WapplerSystems extensions (address, ws_slider, hero-item, …). Coordinate with him before cutting a tag on one of those.
  • Ranjujunior developer. Also on the development side, so a ticket assigned to her is technical, not editorial.
  • Corinnadesign and the bulk of editorial work. Content tickets (texts, images, page structure) are hers.
  • Evaproject management, plus light editorial changes. Typically the one who maintains a Sammelticket's item list and re-assigns tickets.

Consequences:

  • A ticket assigned to Corinna or Eva is editorial — don't silently do the work. Report what you found if it helps, but leave the change to them.
  • CSS and code are yours even when the ticket is assigned to someone else. Tickets often mix the two: split them by the NATURE of each item, not by the assignee, do the technical half, and say plainly which half you left alone and why.
  • This is also why the assignee must never be changed by you (above): it encodes the routing.

Attachments

GET /attachments/download/<id>/<name> needs the exact filename (a placeholder → 404 HTML). Reliable: GET /attachments/<id>.json → read content_urlcurl -L THAT with the API-key header. Attached "screenshots" are often browser print-to-PDF files — readable directly once downloaded.
