build: Use codeberg mirror to self-test todo action
There is now a mirror of this repo at
https://codeberg.org/kemitix/todo-checker

We use both this original repo and that repo to verify
both are working as a valid actions.

# forgejo-todo-checker
Checks your source files for TODO and FIXME comments, where they don't have an open issue number.
A ForgeJo Action.
(Inspired by https://woodpecker-ci.org/plugins/TODO-Checker)
## Codeberg Mirror
Main development takes place on [git.kemitix.net](https://git.kemitix.net/kemitix/forgejo-todo-checker).
There is a mirror on Codeberg.org as [kemitix/todo-checker](https://codeberg.org/kemitix/todo-checker).
This mirror allows you to refer to the action as simply `kemitix/todo-checker@v1.0.0`.
## Usage
```yaml
jobs:
tests:
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Check TODOs
# Original:
# uses: https://git.kemitix.net/kemitix/forgejo-todo-checker@v1.0.0
# Codeberg mirror:
uses: kemitix/todo-checker@v1.0.0
```
## Comments Format
This Action only pays attention to comments in a particular format. e.g:
```
// TODO: (#19) This is the comment
// FIXME (#29) This is the other comment
# TODO (#19) This is the comment
# FIXME: (#29) This is the other comment
```
These are all considered valid comments. Pick the format that fits your language or file best.
Comments are found by matching them against this regular expression: `(#|//)\s*(TODO|FIXME)`
i.e.: be a comment by starting with either '#' or '//', then the word `TODO` or `FIXME` in all caps.
Once we have a line with such a comment we look for the Issue Number with: `\(#?(?P<ISSUE_NUMBER>\d+)\)`
i.e.: a number in `()`, with or without a leading `#` (inside the braces).
The `ISSUE_NUMBER` must correspond to an **OPEN** Issue in the repo that the Action is running against.
If the issue has been closed or can't be found then the comment is marked as an error and the Check with fail.
## Example Output
The output will be similar to the following if there are any errors:
```
Forgejo TODO Checker!
Repo: kemitix/my-projext
Prefix: (#|//)\s*(TODO|FIXME)
Issues: \(#?(?P<ISSUE_NUMBER>\d+)\)
- Issue number missing: src/main.rs#38:
// TODO: implement this cool feature and get rich!
- Closed/Invalid Issue: (19) README.md#12:
// TODO: (#19) This is the comment
>> 1 error in src/model/line.rs
Error: Invalid or closed TODO/FIXMEs found
```
The first error is because there is no issue number associated with the TODO comment.
The second error is because the issue has already been closed.
