Yup this is because it posts to it are being conflicted with:

2cd1479e77/routers/web/web.go (L487-L489)

Two options;

Make action a reserved name for repos
Move the above endpoint elsewhere.

I think if we can move the above endpoint elsewhere and avoid a reserved name that would be useful. However we need to check the api.go router file to see if there are other conflicted routes that need to be addressed too.

How about change the router to <username>/-/action?

somewhat annoyingly - appears to be a valid repository name. Previously when we've discussed this we've considered using ! but one simple thing is just to make the POST /:username/action/:action simply
POST /:username
