Bug-Report-Public

Public bug intake for the Sovereign Network. Community members submit bugs here via the issue form; an automated workflow transfers each report to the private The-Sovereign-Network tracker and adds it to the project board.

One-Time Setup (Required)

Before the transfer workflow will work, a repository admin must add one secret in the repository settings:

1. Go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret
2. Create a secret named exactly NEW_SECRET
3. Set its value to a Personal Access Token (classic) or a fine-grained PAT that has repo scope (write access) on the SOVEREIGN-NET/The-Sovereign-Network repository and read:project + project scope to add items to the org project board

That's it. The workflow uses GITHUB_TOKEN (automatic) for all actions on this public repo and NEW_SECRET only for cross-repo operations.

How It Works

1. A contributor opens an issue using the Bug Report template — the template automatically applies the bug label
2. The labeled event fires the Transfer Bug Report to Sovereign Network workflow
3. The workflow:
   • Creates a copy of the issue in The-Sovereign-Network with bug, triage, and from-public labels
   • Adds the new issue to Project board #5
   • Posts a thank-you comment on the public issue
   • Closes and locks the public issue to keep this repo clean
