+- version: 1.10.17

+  summary: Fix local Gitea webhook ingestion for Helpdesk Git tracking.
+  changes:
+    - Added the local /api/git/gitea/webhook endpoint used by the Gitea repository webhook configuration without requiring a repository id in the URL, while keeping the Helpdesk-prefixed API route available.
+    - Added Gitea event, delivery, authorization and HMAC signature handling while preserving existing GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and generic webhook behaviour.
+    - Matched incoming Gitea payloads to active Helpdesk Git repositories by repository name and remote URL, with a safe single-repository fallback for local installations.
+    - Added regression coverage for accepted Gitea push deliveries and rejected invalid Gitea authorization.
+    - Preserved append-only changelog history.
