- `[2026-07-14]` **gitea "test-delivery 204" is NOT proof a webhook works** (204 = gitea *queuing*, not the listener receiving) — and a proxy test signing with the listener's OWN secret proves the listener, not gitea's real delivery. Both red herrings cost a round of the soong-lab webhook diagnosis. Diagnose from BOTH ends: sender (`docker logs gitea | grep webhook` → the `deny '<ip>'` line) AND an instrumented receiver.
