gwt-apply --server-backup can now make its server backup with a separate owner or admin login, so the writer can stay an editor. Tools that pin 1.3.3 can't use this until a release ships it (#251).

This moves the entry under a 1.4.0 heading dated today. It is a minor release because it adds a feature. No change list behaves differently, so Change lists is None.

After merge, the annotated tag v1.4.0 publishes to PyPI and creates the GitHub release.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Documented support for using separate login credentials with server backups, including limitations, error handling, and forwarding through gwt-run.

The release notes should flag that previously ignored backup credentials can now stop an invocation. This is a bounded documentation issue, not a demonstrated release-blocking failure.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "chore(release): 1.4.0" identifies the change as a release commit for version 1.4.0, which matches the changelog change that adds the 1.4.0 heading dated 2026-11-09. It does not name the main functional change, which is the new gwt-apply --server-backup support for a separate owner or admin login. The title is concise, specific to the release, and not off-topic, so it passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the core intent. It states the feature (gwt-apply --server-backup with a separate owner or admin login), the reason for a minor release, the changelog move under a 1.4.0 heading dated today, the reason Change lists is None, and the post-merge tag and publish steps. The template asks for Problem, Fix, Shared rules used, and a test-guard section, and the description omits these. It also omits the checklist item for one concern branched from main. The description is not vague, but it does not follow the repository template. Because it is mostly complete for a release PR, the check passes with a note on the missing template sections.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Disclose the backup credential compatibility change.

With --server-backup, settings ignored in 1.3.3 can now stop an existing list before it applies. Replace “None” with this compatibility note.

Suggested fix

-None.
+With `--server-backup`, a nonempty `GWT_BACKUP_TOKEN` or an incomplete backup username/password pair now exits before applying the list. Version 1.3.3 ignored these settings.
