+"""Forge push webhook — drift flagging at the moment the repo moves (#2691).
+
+The forge POSTs here on every push; changed paths are matched against recorded
+snippet locations (through repo bindings) and matched verdicts get an
+``invalidated_by`` marker that surfaces in the ``verification="attention"``
+listing. This is what makes verification scale past tens of records: sessions
+recheck what pushes flagged instead of sweeping everything.
+
+Registering the webhook on the forge is per-instance setup (Settings → Config
+→ Git Forge shows the endpoint and holds the secret) — the server never
+self-registers on the forge.
+
+Contract with the forge's delivery loop:
+  - No secret configured → 404: the endpoint doesn't exist until an operator
+    creates it. Bad signature → 401: that's a caller problem worth signaling.
+  - A PROCESSING failure returns 200 with ``{"ok": false}`` and drops a
+    WARNING + AppLog row (the #2663 canary pattern): repeated 5xx responses
+    make forges mark deliveries failed and operators disable the hook, which
+    would silently turn the feature off — the exact failure mode this

+"""Forge push webhook (#2691) — signature gate, payload parsing, and the
+end-to-end drift flag on real Postgres.
+
+The webhook is the seam that makes verification scale: a push names exactly
+which files moved, so only the records that point at them get flagged. The
+properties pinned here:
+
+  - No secret configured → the endpoint does not exist (404); a bad
+    signature → 401. Both BEFORE any payload parsing.
+  - Matching is O(bindings + snippets-in-project + changed files) and goes
+    through repo bindings — recorded location repos are free-form names and
+    cannot address a forge.
+  - A replayed delivery (same head commit) flags nothing new; re-verifying
+    clears the flag by construction.
