The design spec (section 6) defines endpoints as having a declarative action chain per event type:

events:
  issues.opened:
    actions:
      - matrix_post
      - dispatch: forgejo-event-logger.sh

Currently, main.py hardcodes the action chain:

Matrix poster is appended unconditionally for every endpoint
Worker dispatch is only wired for source == forgejo
Generic endpoints (Vikunja, etc.) only get Matrix posting
Endpoint config cannot declare which actions should fire

What needs to change:

EndpointConfig.events should accept an actions list per event mapping
The daemon's endpoint loop should parse actions (matrix_post, dispatch: script, log, etc.) from config instead of hardcoding callbacks
Forgejo and Vikunja endpoints should use the same code path
Each action runs independently - one failure doesn't block the chain

This is the gap between the current hardcoded implementation and the spec-defined unified endpoint pattern.

The design spec (section 6) defines endpoints as having a declarative action chain per event type: ```yaml events: issues.opened: actions: - matrix_post - dispatch: forgejo-event-logger.sh ``` Currently, main.py hardcodes the action chain: 1. Matrix poster is appended unconditionally for every endpoint 2. Worker dispatch is only wired for source == `forgejo` 3. Generic endpoints (Vikunja, etc.) only get Matrix posting 4. Endpoint config cannot declare which actions should fire What needs to change: - `EndpointConfig.events` should accept an `actions` list per event mapping - The daemon's endpoint loop should parse actions (matrix_post, dispatch: script, log, etc.) from config instead of hardcoding callbacks - Forgejo and Vikunja endpoints should use the same code path - Each action runs independently - one failure doesn't block the chain This is the gap between the current hardcoded implementation and the spec-defined unified endpoint pattern.
