Non-secret inputs git-ignored in windy-pro (models, linux-x64 portable
bundle, enter-monitor build) that build-desktop needs. Mounted :ro into
dind; valid_volumes allows only /ci-inputs/windy-pro; refresh-ci-inputs.sh
copies them from the frozen release clone (read-only on the source).
Invariant I-5 narrowed, not dropped: exactly that one path, read-only in
dind, no other service mounts it, still no docker socket (proven to fail
on :rw). Orchestrator-approved (option a). Applied in an idle window.

dind was privileged: true, so a job that escaped into dind was root on
Veron 1, which is Grant's workstation. Under sysbox-runc (sysbox-ce 0.7.1,
installed 09-23 with no docker restart) dind root is an unprivileged host
uid. Smoke-tested standalone: nested containers, internet, a services-style
postgres on a private network and a python image all pass unprivileged.
Fresh volume dind-storage-sysbox; the old dind-storage stays for
docker-compose.privileged.yml, the one-command rollback.

- deploy/systemd/: sync/backup timers+services, tunnel, and the windy-job
heartbeat drop-ins (silent-failure audit). They existed only on Veron,
the same drift that left the runbook wrong. GITHUB_TOKEN is stripped
(repo is public); it stays in the root-only unit on the host.
- sync: SYNC_NO_TAGS (default windy-pro). build-electron fires on v* tags
and targets ubuntu/macos/windows-latest, labels no runner has, so it
would queue forever, invisibly. Desktop releases are built elsewhere.

Measured: an unprivileged job container inside the CI dind could open SSH,
Ollama and dev servers on Veron (192.168.1.73) and the rest of the LAN,
WireGuard and Tailscale — lateral movement for any malicious dependency,
no escape needed. egress.sh (idempotent; windygit-ci-egress.service at
boot) hooks the jobs bridge: runner<->dind, replies, DNS and public
egress allowed; RFC1918, CGNAT, link-local and the host itself dropped.
Verified from a job container: 6/6 private targets blocked, DNS,
internet and the public forge OK.

- hub_jwt: aud list is ["windy_git"] (contract v1 array). Dropped
"windy-git": that is Gitea's OIDC client_id, so a forge id_token would
have passed the aud check. `type: human` is now REQUIRED (id_tokens have
none), which makes accepting the discovery-URL issuer safe.
- runner job ceiling 30m -> 90m: eternitas's serial pytest is ~50 min and
would have been killed mid-suite.
- eternitas (private) added to the GitHub status bridge.

- runner-5/6: 50+ jobs were queued with ~11 private repos onboarded. dind
keeps the 12-core ceiling, so this adds concurrency, not CPU.
- Gitea: password + passkey sign-in forms off (break-glass = CLI), and
ACCOUNT_LINKING auto -> login. auto linked any hub login whose email
matched an existing account, and SITE ADMIN windyadmin carries Grant's
email. Grant is linked by the hub's stable sub, which matches first.

- deploy/runner/prune.sh + windygit-ci-prune.timer (6h): age-based prune
of the CI-only dind (containers, finished-job volumes, images/builder
cache >7d) plus a hard 60 GB cap. Only that daemon, over its own TCP
socket; never the host's Docker. It was 38 GB and unbounded — the same
class of growth that filled Kit 0 on 09-01.
- pr_status_bridge: jobs named *docker* are not posted. Job containers
have no daemon by design (I-5), so they are red on every commit; a
permanent red X teaches everyone to ignore red.

- Four runners x capacity 1 instead of one x capacity 4. Concurrent jobs in
one act_runner share /root/.cache/act; a refresh racing a copy killed 3 of
windy-chat's ~20 jobs at setup-node (lstat ... no such file). Separate
processes have separate caches. Same parallelism, same capped dind.
- Behavioral tests for pr_status_bridge (latest verdict wins, no reposting,
skipped never painted green, fork PRs never run, pagination, PR lifecycle).
- import_from_github.py reads IMPORT_GITEA_URL, not GITEA_BASE_URL: sourcing
the deploy .env pointed it at http://gitea:3000 and it died on DNS after the
mirror it replaces had already been deleted.
- CUTOVER.md: the private-repo CI path, onboarding steps, and the
/actions/tasks-hides-queued-runs trap.

0.2.11's bundled act only knows runs.using node12/node16/node20, so any repo
pinning a current action major (actions/checkout@v5, actions/setup-python@v6)
fails before its first step with "The runs.using key in action.yml must be one
of: [...], got node24". Windy-Clone is how this surfaced.
Verified node24 is absent from the 0.2.11 binary and present in 0.6.1, and that
every key in deploy/runner/config.yaml still exists in 0.6.1's schema.

The front end was 100% stock Gitea: green teacup, "Gitea: Git with a cup of
tea", "A painless, self-hosted Git service". G2.3 was specified in the plan with
an acceptance test and never executed, and nothing enforced it.
Now: Windy Git name, wind-mark logo, brand-blue accent, and a landing page that
says what this actually is. Uses Gitea's SUPPORTED surface (custom templates +
public assets) so upstream upgrades keep arriving — no source modified (D-2/I-1).
Two traps this cost, both now documented and tested:
1. GITEA__DEFAULT__APP_NAME does not work. Gitea reads APP_NAME from the TOP
LEVEL of app.ini; the env var created a literal [default] section that Gitea
ignores, so the installer's stock APP_NAME kept winning while the config
looked correct. The env-to-ini pass also APPENDED a second APP_NAME rather
than replacing the first — a new variant of the documented G4A.3 trap.
2. Cloudflare caches /assets/* for 6h and no token in this stack can purge, so
the new logo and CSS were invisible while being correct at origin. Brand
assets now carry a VERSION IN THE FILENAME; bump it on every change.
Committed with an idempotent apply.sh, because applying it straight to Veron's
disk first was itself the config-drift trap this project documents: a rebuild
would have silently reverted to stock Gitea.
85 tests green.

Surveyed ten repos: 36 of 36 ACTIVE workflows already say
runs-on: [self-hosted, linux, x64]. They were written for the self-hosted
runners that died when the repos went private — so advertising those three
labels makes every one of them runnable AS-IS. No workflow edits, no rewrites.
Correcting an earlier note in this plan: 'ban ubuntu-latest' was wrong as
stated. All 11 occurrences are tagged '# runner-lint-allow — CD/hosted-only;
disabled, manual until CD mission'. They are deliberately hosted-only and
deliberately off. They are correct as written and should not be 'fixed'.
I generalised that doctrine from one repo without surveying. The survey
disagreed.

The migration step failed with 'could not translate host name postgres'. The
Postgres service container was healthy; the job simply could not name it,
because service DNS aliases only exist on a per-job network and I had pinned
container.network to the flat 'bridge'.
That choice was wrong in both directions: it broke service containers AND it
was weaker isolation, since every concurrent job shared one bridge and could
see its neighbours. A per-job network is stricter and correct — and still has
no route to the forge, because these networks live inside the dind daemon,
which has no forge attachment at all.

The first CI run failed with 'Could not resolve host: gitea' — job containers
live on dind's private network and cannot see the forge network. Two ways out,
and they are not equivalent:
(a) put job containers on the forge network. Easy, one line, and it leaves
untrusted workflow code one DNS name from the forge's Postgres. It quietly
repeals I-5.
(b) send jobs to the PUBLIC forge surface over the tunnel, exactly like any
stranger on the internet.
Took (b). The runner no longer needs the forge network at all, so there is now
NO private route from any CI container to anything — a better posture than this
file started with. Cost is a hairpin through Cloudflare plus its ~100s ceiling
per fetch, which for 0.63 GB of objects across 61 repos and depth=1 checkouts is
nowhere near binding.
Test upgraded to assert the stronger property: no CI container joins the forge
network.

I-5 says runners execute untrusted code and must be isolated by machine
boundary. act_runner needs a Docker daemon to start job containers, and the
tempting move — what every published example does — is to mount the host's
/var/run/docker.sock. That hands every workflow, including whatever a
transitive dependency's postinstall script feels like doing, the ability to
start a privileged container mounting / — root on Grant's workstation.
Instead the runner talks to its OWN dind daemon:
- runner (TRUSTED, the act_runner daemon) sits on the forge network only to
collect jobs from gitea:3000
- dind and every job container it spawns are UNTRUSTED, on a private network
with no route to the forge, its Postgres, or its .env
- jobs cannot bind-mount from the daemon host (valid_volumes: []) and are not
handed the runner's own socket (docker_host: -)
- separate compose project, cpu/memory bounded — Veron 1 is Grant's
workstation, not a dedicated build box
The gate itself now runs as a workflow, including the migration round-trip that
already caught two bugs review did not, and the I-12 check that a COMMIT_SHA
env override cannot change what /version reports.
Labels are explicit and pinned. A workflow naming a label nobody provides
queues forever and presents as a hung CI system rather than a typo — which is
what ubuntu-latest does on every windy-registry run today.

Gitea was configured to connect as a 'gitea' DB user that never existed, so it
sat unconfigured behind a working tunnel. It now gets its OWN role and database
via a first-init script — I-1 says we never write Gitea's tables, and that is
better as a permission than as a promise.
