feat: add merge tools, tests, and documentation

Added 3 new PR merge tools to complete v1.0.0:
- merge_pull_request: Merge PR with 5 strategies (merge, rebase, rebase-merge, squash, fast-forward-only)
- get_pr_merge_status: Check if PR is mergeable
- cancel_auto_merge: Cancel scheduled auto-merge

Changes:
- New merge methods in GiteaClient (gitea_client.py)
- New async wrappers in PullRequestTools with branch checks (tools/pull_requests.py)
- Tool definitions and dispatch routing in tool_registry.py
- Boolean type coercion for force_merge and delete_branch parameters
- Comprehensive test suite with 18 tests (test_pull_requests.py)
- Full documentation: README.md, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md

Features:
- 5 merge strategies with full Gitea API support
- Branch-aware security enforcement
- Type coercion handles MCP string serialization
- 100% test coverage for merge operations

Result:
- Total tools: 39 (7 PR operations + 3 merge = 10 PR tools)
- All tests passing (18 new merge tests + 60 existing tests)
- Ready for v1.0.0 release

+
+## Key Design Patterns
+
+### Transport-Agnostic Architecture
+
+- Tool definitions and dispatcher logic live in `tool_registry.py`, not `server.py`
+- Can be used by multiple transports: stdio (Claude Code), HTTP (gitea-mcp-remote), direct import
+- Single source of truth for tool schemas and dispatch logic
+
+### Type Coercion
+
+MCP serialization sometimes converts integers to strings and arrays to JSON strings. The `_coerce_types()` function in `tool_registry.py` handles:
+
+- **Integer fields**: `pr_number`, `milestone_id`, `issue_number`, etc. (string → int)
+- **Array fields**: `labels`, `tags`, `issue_numbers` (JSON string → list)
+- **Boolean fields**: `force_merge`, `delete_branch` (string → bool)
+
+### Async/Executor Pattern
+
+All async wrappers in `tools/*.py` use:
+
+```python
+loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
+return await loop.run_in_executor(None, lambda: self.gitea.sync_method(...))
+```
+
+This allows synchronous REST calls (`requests`) to be awaited in async contexts without blocking.
+
+### Branch-Aware Security
+
+Checked in async wrappers in `tools/pull_requests.py`:
+
+```python
+if not self._check_branch_permissions('merge_pull_request'):
+    raise PermissionError(f"Cannot merge on branch '{branch}'...")
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+- Read operations: All branches allowed
+- main/master/prod/*: Read-only
+- staging/stage/*: Comments only
+- dev/feature/fix/*: Full access
+- Unknown: Read-only (fail-safe)
+
+### Configuration Auto-Detection
+
+In `config.py`:
+
+- Reads from env vars: `GITEA_API_URL`, `GITEA_API_TOKEN`, `GITEA_REPO`, `GITEA_MODE`
+- Detects mode: Project if `GITEA_REPO` set, PMO if not set (org user)
+- Supports `.env` files for local development
+- Fallback defaults for local Gitea instances
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create virtual environment
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
+# or: .venv\Scripts\activate  (Windows)
+
+# Install in development mode
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_pull_requests.py -v
+
+# Quick test run
+pytest tests/ -q
+
+# With coverage
+pytest tests/ --cov=gitea_mcp --cov-report=html
+```
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+# Install build tools
+pip install build
+
+# Build distribution
+python -m build
+
+# Output: dist/gitea-mcp-1.0.0.tar.gz and dist/gitea_mcp-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
+```
+
+### Publishing
+
+```bash
+# Install Twine
+pip install twine
+
+# Upload to Gitea PyPI
+twine upload \
+  --repository-url https://gitea.hotserv.cloud/api/packages/personal-projects/pypi \
+  --username your-gitea-username \
+  --password your-gitea-token \
+  dist/*
+```
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding a New Tool
+
+1. **Add method to client** (`gitea_client.py`):
+   ```python
+   def new_tool(self, ...) -> Dict:
+       """Synchronous REST call."""
+   ```
+
+2. **Add async wrapper** (`tools/relevant_file.py`):
+   ```python
+   async def new_tool(self, ...) -> Dict:
+       """Async wrapper with branch checks if write operation."""
+       if not self._check_branch_permissions('new_tool'):
+           raise PermissionError(...)
+       loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
+       return await loop.run_in_executor(None, lambda: self.gitea.new_tool(...))
+   ```
+
+3. **Register tool** (`tool_registry.py`):
+   - Add `Tool()` to `_get_all_tool_definitions()`
+   - Add dispatch case in `create_tool_dispatcher()`
+   - Update `_coerce_types()` if new types added
+
+4. **Write tests** (`tests/test_something.py`):
+   - Mock the client
+   - Test the method directly
+   - Test type coercion
+   - Test error cases
+
+5. **Update docs**:
+   - Add to README.md tools table
+   - Update CHANGELOG.md
+   - Update CLAUDE.md if architecture changes
+
+### Running Locally
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export GITEA_API_TOKEN="your-token"
+export GITEA_REPO="owner/repo"
+
+# Test CLI
+python -m gitea_mcp.server < /dev/null
+
+# Or use in a script
+python3 << 'EOF'
+from gitea_mcp.gitea_client import GiteaClient
+from gitea_mcp.tool_registry import get_tool_definitions
+
+client = GiteaClient()
+tools = get_tool_definitions()
+print(f"Available tools: {len(tools)}")
+for tool in tools[:5]:
+    print(f"  - {tool.name}")
+EOF
+```
+
+### Testing Type Coercion
+
+```python
+from gitea_mcp.tool_registry import _coerce_types
+
+result = _coerce_types({
+    'pr_number': '42',
+    'force_merge': 'true',
+    'delete_branch': 'false'
+})
+
+assert result['pr_number'] == 42
+assert result['force_merge'] is True
+assert result['delete_branch'] is False
+```
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+### Branches
+
+- **main**: Stable releases only
+- **development**: Feature integration (default)
+- **feat/\***: Feature branches from development
+- **fix/\***: Bug fix branches from development
+
+### Commit Message Format
+
+```
+type(scope): short description
+
+Longer explanation if needed.
+
+Fixes: #123  (if applicable)
+```
+
+Types: `feat`, `fix`, `test`, `docs`, `refactor`, `perf`, `chore`
+
+Example:
+```
+feat(merge): add merge_pull_request tool
+
+- Support 5 merge strategies: merge, rebase, squash, etc.
+- Add get_pr_merge_status for mergeable check
+- Add cancel_auto_merge for scheduled merges
+- Include type coercion for force_merge and delete_branch
+- Add comprehensive tests
+
+Closes: #10
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Core
+
+- `requests>=2.31.0` — HTTP client for Gitea API
+- `mcp>=0.10.0` — Model Context Protocol
+
+### Development
+
+- `pytest>=7.0.0` — Testing framework
+- `pytest-asyncio` — Async test support
+- `build` — Package building
+- `twine` — PyPI publishing
+- `black` — Code formatting
+- `flake8` — Linting
+- `mypy` — Type checking (optional)
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- All API calls use `requests` Session with connection pooling
+- Async wrappers use executor pattern (non-blocking)
+- PMO mode caches org membership to reduce API calls
+- Lesson searches use wiki page content for tags (linear scan, acceptable for <100 pages)
+
+## Security
+
+- **Authentication**: Token-based (GitHub-compatible Gitea API)
+- **Branch checks**: Enforced in async wrappers
+- **Input validation**: `_parse_repo()` validates owner/repo format
+- **Error handling**: Comprehensive logging, HTTP errors propagated with context
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Wiki operations**: Linear scan of pages for lesson search (fine for <100 pages)
+2. **Merge status**: Returns mergeable flag if available, not computed in real-time
+3. **PMO mode**: Requires user to have org-level access (not repo-specific tokens)
+4. **Execution order**: `get_execution_order()` uses simple topological sort (no cycle detection)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Webhook support for event-driven workflows
+- [ ] Caching layer for frequently accessed data
+- [ ] GraphQL support (if Gitea adds it)
+- [ ] Batch operations for bulk issue/PR updates
+- [ ] Custom field support for Gitea enterprise

+
+## Merge Strategies
+
+The `merge_pull_request` tool supports 5 merge strategies:
+
+| Strategy | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `merge` | Create a merge commit (default) |
+| `rebase` | Rebase commits onto base branch, no merge commit |
+| `rebase-merge` | Rebase commits then create merge commit |
+| `squash` | Squash all commits into one |
+| `fast-forward-only` | Only merge if fast-forward is possible |
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```python
+# Merge with squash strategy
+await merge_pull_request(
+    pr_number=42,
+    merge_style="squash",
+    delete_branch=True,
+    message="Merge feature branch into main"
+)
+
+# Check if mergeable before merging
+status = await get_pr_merge_status(pr_number=42)
+if status["mergeable"]:
+    await merge_pull_request(pr_number=42)
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+GITEA_API_URL      # Gitea API URL (default: http://localhost:3000/api/v1)
+GITEA_API_TOKEN    # Gitea personal access token (required)
+GITEA_MODE         # 'project' or 'pmo' (default: auto-detect)
+GITEA_REPO         # 'owner/repo' for project mode (optional in PMO mode)
+```
+
+### Auto-Detection
+
+- **Project Mode**: Activated when `GITEA_REPO` is set or detected from `.git/config`
+- **PMO Mode**: Activated when GITEA_REPO is not set and user has org-level access
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Branch-Aware Access Control
+
+Read operations (list, get, diff, comments) are allowed on all branches.
+
+Write operations (create, merge, comment, delete) are restricted:
+
+- **main/master/prod/*** branches: Read-only
+- **staging/stage/*** branches: Comments only
+- **dev/feature/fix/*** branches: Full access
+- Unknown branches: Read-only (fail-safe)
+
+Example: Attempting to merge a PR while on `main` branch raises:
+```
+PermissionError: Cannot merge PR on branch 'main'.
+Switch to a development or feature branch to merge PRs.
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Stdio Server Mode (Claude Code)
+
+1. Add to `.mcp.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "gitea": {
+      "command": "python",
+      "args": ["-m", "gitea_mcp.server"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+2. Set environment variables:
+```bash
+export GITEA_API_TOKEN="your-token"
+export GITEA_REPO="owner/repo"  # for project mode
+```
+
+3. Use in Claude Code:
+```
+Create an issue about performance optimization with the 'enhancement' label.
+```
+
+### Programmatic Import
+
+```python
+from gitea_mcp import get_tool_definitions, create_tool_dispatcher
+from gitea_mcp.gitea_client import GiteaClient
+
+# Get all tool definitions
+tools = get_tool_definitions()
+
+# Create dispatcher
+client = GiteaClient()
+dispatch = create_tool_dispatcher(client)
+
+# Call tools
+result = await dispatch("list_issues", {"state": "open"})
+
+# Or filter by tool name
+pr_tools = get_tool_definitions(tool_filter=["list_pull_requests", "merge_pull_request"])
+```
+
+### HTTP Server (gitea-mcp-remote)
+
+The tool registry can be used by HTTP transport:
+
+```python
+from gitea_mcp.tool_registry import get_tool_definitions, create_tool_dispatcher
+from gitea_mcp.gitea_client import GiteaClient
+
+client = GiteaClient()
+tools = get_tool_definitions()
+dispatcher = create_tool_dispatcher(client)
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate  # or: .venv\Scripts\activate (Windows)
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_pull_requests.py -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest tests/ --cov=gitea_mcp
+```
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+pip install build
+python -m build
+```
+
+### Publishing to Gitea PyPI
+
+```bash
+pip install twine
+
+twine upload \
+  --repository-url https://gitea.hotserv.cloud/api/packages/personal-projects/pypi \
+  dist/*
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+| Module | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `gitea_client.py` | Synchronous Gitea REST API client |
+| `config.py` | Configuration loader (env vars, auto-detection) |
+| `tool_registry.py` | Tool definitions + dispatcher (transport-agnostic) |
+| `server.py` | MCP stdio server entry point |
+| `tools/*.py` | Async wrappers with branch-aware access control |
+
+### Design Patterns
+
+- **Transport-agnostic**: Tool definitions and dispatch in `tool_registry.py`, not `server.py`
+- **Async-first**: All tools are async via `run_in_executor`
+- **Type coercion**: Automatic string→int/bool conversion for MCP serialization
+- **Branch security**: Checked in async wrappers, not in REST client
