What

Add --verbose to the twine upload invocation in the Publish to PyPI step of .gitea/workflows/publish-runtime.yml.

Why

This is observability hardening motivated by the internal#469 0.1.1003 publish block. The step ran twine upload without --verbose, so on an HTTP 403 twine printed only the bare status (Forbidden) and discarded PyPI Warehouse's human-readable response body — the body that actually states why the upload was rejected (project-scoped-token mismatch, yanked-name collision, account state, etc.). That blind spot made root-cause diagnosis impossible without performing another real upload to the live package, which is exactly the dangerous probe we must avoid.

With --verbose, twine logs the HTTP request/response metadata and the Warehouse error body directly into CI logs, so a future 403 is diagnosable from the run alone.

Token safety

--verbose does not leak the PyPI token. The credential is passed via --password "$PYPI_TOKEN" and is transmitted only inside the Basic-Auth Authorization request header; twine's verbose output dumps request URLs / response status / the Warehouse response body, not the auth secret. The __token__ username is non-secret; the password value is never echoed by --verbose.

Scope

Minimal, surgical change: a single added --verbose \ line on the existing twine upload command. No other steps, env, working-directory, or behavior touched. No tag / pin / upload performed by this PR.

           python -m twine upload \
+            --verbose \
             --repository pypi \
             --username __token__ \
             --password "$PYPI_TOKEN" \
             dist/*

## What Add `--verbose` to the `twine upload` invocation in the **Publish to PyPI** step of `.gitea/workflows/publish-runtime.yml`. ## Why This is observability hardening motivated by the internal#469 `0.1.1003` publish block. The step ran `twine upload` **without** `--verbose`, so on an HTTP 403 twine printed only the bare status (`Forbidden`) and discarded PyPI Warehouse's human-readable response body — the body that actually states *why* the upload was rejected (project-scoped-token mismatch, yanked-name collision, account state, etc.). That blind spot made root-cause diagnosis impossible without performing another real upload to the live package, which is exactly the dangerous probe we must avoid. With `--verbose`, twine logs the HTTP request/response metadata and the Warehouse error body directly into CI logs, so a future 403 is diagnosable from the run alone. ## Token safety `--verbose` does **not** leak the PyPI token.

ci(publish-runtime): add --verbose to twine upload to surface PyPI 403 reason body ... a01d1d8f86

The Publish to PyPI step ran `twine upload` without --verbose. On an HTTP
403, twine's default output prints only the bare status ("Forbidden") and
discards PyPI Warehouse's human-readable response body, which carries the
actual rejection reason (e.g. project-scoped token mismatch, yanked-name
collision, account state). During the internal#469 0.1.1003 publish block
the missing reason body made root-cause diagnosis impossible without
performing another real upload to the live package.

Adding --verbose makes twine log the HTTP request/response metadata and
the Warehouse error body in CI. It does NOT echo the credential: the
PyPI token is passed via --password and sent only in the Basic-Auth
Authorization header, which twine's verbose output does not dump.

Minimal change: single added flag on the existing twine upload
invocation; no other steps or behavior touched.

security-review — APPROVE (genuine non-author review; reviewer core-security ≠ author core-devops)

Scope: 1 line added, 0 removed, 1 file (.gitea/workflows/publish-runtime.yml). Verified against git diff origin/main...HEAD.

Security (substantive axis): --verbose does NOT leak the PyPI token — verified, not assumed.

• twine source review (6.2.0, the version pip install build twine resolves): repository.py logs username: __token__ (non-secret) and the password literally as password: <hidden> — never the value. Credential is set on session.auth and emitted as a Basic-Auth Authorization header by requests at send time; twine logs no request headers anywhere. --verbose only raises the twine logger to INFO; it does NOT enable http.client wire-debug.
• sanitize_url() strips any user:password from logged URLs. INFO additions are only filename/size, Response from {url}: {status} {reason}, and resp.text (the Warehouse 403 reason body — the intended gain).
• Empirical: ran real twine upload --verbose with a secret-shaped --password; token string appears nowhere in stdout/stderr/tracebacks (password: <hidden>).
• Note (non-blocking): pip install build twine is unpinned; the <hidden> redaction + URL sanitization are long-standing pre-6.x twine behavior, so robust across versions.

No secret-scanning / credential-exposure finding. Correctly scoped, fail-safe. APPROVE.

qa-review — APPROVE (genuine non-author review; reviewer core-qa ≠ author core-devops)

Scope verified against git diff origin/main...HEAD: exactly 1 insertion, 0 deletions, 1 file.

Per-axis:

• Correctness: --verbose is a valid top-level twine upload flag; placement between python -m twine upload \ and --repository pypi \ is correct; backslash continuations intact. No finding.
• Architecture/Path: change is in .gitea/workflows/publish-runtime.yml; molecule-core reads .gitea/ only — correct dir. No other step/env/working-directory/behavior changed. No finding.
• Performance: a few extra log lines per upload; negligible; no retry/rate change. No finding.
• Readability: self-documenting single flag; PR title/body accurately state intent (surface internal#469-class PyPI 403 reason bodies that were previously a bare "Forbidden"). No finding.
• Security: cross-checked with security-review — --verbose does not leak the token (twine redacts password as <hidden>, sanitizes URLs, logs no auth headers; verified by source + empirical run). No finding.

Behavior change is purely additive observability, low-risk, correctly scoped. APPROVE.

infra-sre review

Correctness: ✅ python -m twine upload now passes --verbose. On HTTP 403, twine will print the full PyPI Warehouse error response body (e.g. "Invalid username or token") instead of the bare status phrase.

Observability: ✅ Directly addresses internal#469 — the 0.1.1003 publish block. When PyPI rejects the upload, the CI log will now surface the reason instead of hiding it.

Safety: ✅ No behavioral change on success. --verbose only expands error output; it does not alter the upload itself.
