Gitea 1.27.1 on this instance silently ignores the ?template= param for
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/hardware-report.yml — the structured fields never
render, just a blank title/body editor (confirmed live: same URL that's
supposed to load the form shows nothing). Rather than debug Gitea's YAML
issue-forms support, site/report.html is a plain form matching the schema
that builds a title + markdown body (with a ready-to-merge YAML block) and
opens Gitea's issues/new with them pre-filled via query params, which does
work on this instance (verified live).
Verified the full round trip in a real browser: filled the form, submitted,
confirmed the opened Gitea tab has the correct title and a body containing
valid YAML matching every field. Did not actually click "Create Issue" —
no reason to leave a test issue on the tracker.
