telemetry: UPDATE 7 — read the ingest body; count quarantined + dropped on heartbeats

The ledger answers 202 even when it quarantines rows. Both emitters now log
a warning with the reasons and report service.health.telemetry_quarantined
and telemetry_dropped (API: buffer overflow; sync: 0 by construction, since
a failed send keeps cursor + spool). HOLD until Telemetry Boss declares both
keys on windy-git's two service.health shapes.

+"""Field telemetry to the admin ledger (admin.windyword.ai) — step 2, 2026-09-23.
+
+Shapes are DECLARED with Telemetry Boss (the ledger owner); the server
+quarantines any row that doesn't match, so never add a key or a code here
+without re-declaring it first:
+
+  service.boot       once per process start   {commit_sha, version, environment}
+  service.health     hourly, in-process       interval_s, uptime_s, requests,
+                                              errors_5xx, errors_4xx,
+                                              refusals_4xx, p95_ms

+                                              route?, upstream_status?}
+
+Refusals come first: a refused caller is the most expensive silent failure
+("the button did nothing"). An UNAUTHENTICATED caller has no trustworthy id, so
+per the all-lanes actor rule the row is actor_type "system", no actor_id, and
+the caller class goes in metadata.caller.
+
+Privacy: codes, statuses, route TEMPLATES, counts, durations. Never a passport
+number, an email, a token fragment or a concrete path with names in it.
+
+No token → nothing is sent and nothing is buffered. A failed flush keeps the
+rows (bounded) and retries on the next tick; it never raises into a request.

-## DONE since this was written — the three-repo CI fix
+## SOLVED — the CI failures were never about Postgres
 
-All three PRs are **merged and synced**: windy-mind #100, WindyCloud #89,
-windy-registry #31 (eternitas #149 earlier).
+The `localhost` → `postgres` fix was correct and is worth keeping, but it was
+**not** what was failing these jobs. They died at step 2, before Postgres was
+ever contacted.
 
-**Result: 1 of 3 verified fixed, 2 still failing for an undetermined reason.**
+**Root cause: `astral-sh/setup-uv@v4` asks the forge for uv's latest release.**
 
-- ✅ **windy-registry** — `postgres integration` went **failure → success**. The
-  fix is proven correct.
-- ❌ **windy-mind**, **WindyCloud** — `migrations` still fails. The DATABASE_URL
-  is definitely right now; the cause is something else and was **not
-  determined** — the jobs API returns "job not found" for the ids the runs
-  report, so logs could not be retrieved that way.
+setup-uv v4 added "resolve latest version instead of downloading latest release"
+(astral-sh/setup-uv#178). Resolution goes through `@actions/github`, whose
+octokit reads **`GITHUB_API_URL`** — which act_runner points at *our forge*. So
+the action requested:
 
-**Next session: read those job logs from the Gitea web UI** (`app.windygit.com`
-→ repo → Actions → the failing run), not the jobs API. Suspicion worth checking
-first: both use `astral-sh/setup-uv`, and eternitas' equivalent job failed with
-`error: Failed to spawn: pytest` even after the action resolved — so the uv
-toolchain may not be landing on PATH in these containers. That would be a
-different, shared root cause.
+```
+GET https://app.windygit.com/api/v1/repos/astral-sh/uv/releases/latest  →  404
+```
 
-**A trap worth keeping:** the three repos did NOT share one pattern. A naive
-`localhost` → `postgres` swap would have left **WindyCloud on port 15432** (it
-maps `15432:5432`) and windy-registry on a `job.services.postgres.ports[…]`
-expression. Service-name networking always uses the container's **internal**
-port — 5432 — never the mapped host port.
+Gitea has no `astral-sh/uv`, so it answered its standard 404 body, *"The target
+couldn't be found."* setup-uv threw that string, act printed it as `::error::`,
+and every later step was skipped by `success()`.
 
-## The original task description (superseded above)
+**The fix (merged to GitHub, 11 repos):** pin an explicit `version:` on every
+`setup-uv@v4`/`@v5` step. `resolveVersion()` short-circuits on an explicit
+version *before* any API call, and the download URL is hardcoded to github.com —
+so the forge round-trip disappears. Pinned to `0.12.5`, which is what `latest`
+already resolved to.
 
-**Three repos need a one-line CI fix.** Their workflows reach a Postgres service
-at `@localhost:5432`, which works on GitHub-hosted runners (services are
-port-mapped to the VM) and fails on ours (the job runs *inside* a container, so
-`localhost` is the job itself). The service is reachable as **`postgres`**.

+### Two things that made this hard to see, both worth keeping
 
-`eternitas` was already fixed this way — see **eternitas PR #149** for the exact
-shape, including the comment explaining why. Fix must go to **GitHub**, not Windy
-Git: the sync runs GitHub → Windy Git and force-pushes over local edits.
+- **act attributes the error to the wrong step.** `::error::The target couldn't
+  be found.` is printed immediately after `actions/checkout`'s `::remove-matcher`,
+  so it reads exactly like a checkout failure. It is not. What settled it was the
+  **Gitea access log** — `sudo docker logs windy-git-gitea-1 | grep " 404 "` — which
+  named the real URL at the same millisecond as the job error. When a job fails
+  with an opaque forge-shaped message, go to the forge's access log, not the job log.
 
-Proven by direct comparison, same runner and same `postgres:16-alpine` image:
-windy-git's own gate uses `@postgres:5432` and passes its migration round-trip;
-eternitas' used `@localhost:5432` and failed.
+- **The natural experiment was sitting right there.** windy-registry and
+  windy-drops use `setup-uv@v3` and always passed; every v4/v5 caller failed. A
+  version skew across otherwise-identical repos is a diagnosis, not a coincidence.
+
+### The jobs API "job not found" that blocked the last session
+
+Not a bug. `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/jobs/{id}/logs` requires the
+job id to belong to **the repo in the path** — a valid id under the wrong owner/repo
+404s. The API works fine; the URLs were mismatched. Logs are readable this way and
+you do **not** need the web UI.
+
+Note logs are **not on disk** — `[storage] STORAGE_TYPE = minio` sends action logs
+to R2, so `actions_log/` on the host is empty. Read them through the API.
+
+## SOLVED — second root cause: the runner was four majors behind
+
+Windy-Clone failed for a completely different reason: `The runs.using key in
+action.yml must be one of: [composite docker node12 node16 node20 go], got
+**node24**`. act_runner **0.2.11**'s bundled act predates node24, so any repo
+pinning a current action major (`actions/checkout@v5`, `actions/setup-python@v6`)
+died before its first step.
+
+**Bumped to `gitea/act_runner:0.6.1`** (`cd7dd9b`). Verified beforehand that
+`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 — 0.6.1 only
+*adds* keys, so the config carried over untouched. The runner re-declared with
+the same id and labels `[veron-1 linux-x64 self-hosted linux x64]`; the
+registration in the `runner-data` volume survived. Windy-Clone went 4/4 red →
+4/4 green. Rollback is re-pinning 0.2.11; registration is backed up at
+`/srv/windygit/runner-registration.bak`.
+
+## What is still red, and why each one is real
+
+The CI plane is healthy. windy-mind is fully green (`742 passed, 1 skipped`).
+What remains are genuine repo defects that were **invisible before**, because
+every job died at step 2:
+
+| repo | job | cause |
+|---|---|---|
+| WindyCloud | `lint` | `ruff format --check` — 7 files would be reformatted |
+| eternitas | `py-sdk` | `uv run pytest` → `Failed to spawn: pytest`; pytest isn't a declared dep of that project |
+| eternitas | `test` | needs its own look |
+| windy-agent | `test (3.12/3.13/3.14)` | all three died **together** at 22:50:19 after ~43 min, mid-suite at 64%, with no verdict in the log. Not the 30m `runner.timeout` (that would have fired at 22:36) and not the runner bump (that was 23:00). Something bulk-killed them; unexplained. |
+| WindyCloud | `docker`, windy-search `Docker build` | **architectural** — see below |
+
+`WindyCloud`'s `docker` job wants to build an image and gets `failed to connect
+to the docker API at unix:///var/run/docker.sock`. Job containers deliberately
+have **no** docker socket (I-5, and `deploy/runner/docker-compose.yml` says in
+so many words not to mount it). Mounting the host socket would hand every
+workflow root on Veron 1. This needs a decision — buildx-in-dind, a rootless
+builder, or "this job does not run on Windy Git" — not a quiet socket mount.
+
+The WindyCloud `lint` and eternitas `py-sdk` rows are small fixes in their own
+repos, left alone on purpose: they are product defects, not forge defects.
+
+## Second, smaller finding — act's action cache rots
+
+act caches action repos at `/root/.cache/act/<hash>` inside the runner container
+and refreshes them with a go-git mirror fetch of `refs/*:refs/*`, unforced. That
+includes `refs/pull/*`, which GitHub **recomputes** whenever a base branch moves.
+Reproduced directly:
+
+```
+! [rejected]  refs/pull/1015/merge -> refs/pull/1015/merge  (non-fast-forward)
+```
+
+which surfaces as `Non-terminating error while running 'git clone': some refs
+were not updated`, after which the action does not report `Checked out <ref>`.
+
+It **has** now failed a job on its own. After the runner bump, `windy-mind tests`
+died with:
+
+```
+❌  Failure - Main Install uv
+lstat /root/.cache/act/d3e6…/.git-blame-ignore-revs: no such file or directory
+```
+
+act tars the cached action directory into the job container, and a file vanished
+mid-walk. The cache dir had been created at 23:01 and mutated again at 23:03,
+with `.gitignore` showing as deleted — act removes it before `docker cp`. The
+likely mechanism is **concurrent jobs sharing one cache dir**: `capacity: 4`, and
+windy-mind fires four jobs at once that all use setup-uv. Wiping the cache and
+re-running the job alone made it pass (`742 passed, 1 skipped`). *Mechanism not
+isolated* — the wipe alone may have been sufficient.
+
+One dead end worth not repeating: the cached worktree sits at `38f3f104` while
+`git rev-parse v4` says `e4db8464`. That is **not** a wrong checkout — `v4` is an
+*annotated tag*, and `v4^{commit}` is `38f3f104`. Don't chase it.
+
+Wipe with `sudo docker exec windy-git-runner-runner-1 rm -rf /root/.cache/act`
+(safe — container layer, not a volume). It will rot again. A real fix is either
+lowering `capacity` or upstream act; neither was attempted.

+     rootless builder, or exclude the job. Do NOT mount the host socket.
+  2. windy-agent's three `test` jobs were bulk-killed together at 22:50:19 after
+     ~43 min, mid-suite, with no verdict in the log. Not the 30m runner.timeout,
+     not the runner bump. Unexplained — worth a look.
+  3. Small product defects: WindyCloud `lint` (ruff format, 7 files), eternitas
+     `py-sdk` (pytest not a declared dep), eternitas `test`.
 
 Ground rules already paid for the hard way:
+  - Gitea job status: 1=SUCCESS, 2=FAILURE, 5=waiting, 6=running. Not what you'd guess.
+  - When a job fails with an opaque forge-shaped error, read the FORGE access log
+    (`docker logs windy-git-gitea-1 | grep " 404 "`) — act misattributes the error
+    to the previous step.
+  - Job logs: `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/jobs/{id}/logs`. The job id
+    must belong to the repo in the path or you get a misleading "job not found".
+    Logs are in R2, not on disk.
+  - Log into the forge over https://app.windygit.com — Gitea's cookies are Secure,
+    so a curl login to http://127.0.0.1:3080 silently keeps no session.
   - verify the WHOLE flow, not the half that curls easily
   - never `git pull -q` in a deploy path; it hides errors
   - fixes go to GitHub, not Windy Git (sync is GitHub -> Windy Git, force-push)
-  - service containers: use the service NAME and its INTERNAL port (5432),
-    never the mapped host port
+  - if a job fails with `lstat .../<file>: no such file or directory` on an
+    action, act's cache rotted: `docker exec windy-git-runner-runner-1 rm -rf
+    /root/.cache/act`, then re-run. Safe; it is a container layer, not a volume.
   - check Kit 0's `uptime` before deploying there; two incidents in two days
-    from non-production workloads

+
+GitHub Actions cannot run on private repos on this account — not even on

+already synced into Windy Git every 15 min and CI runs there, so the only thing
+missing is the *signal on GitHub*, where people and agents actually read PRs.
+
+Two jobs, run after every sync:
+
+1. **Mirror open PRs.** The sync carries branches, not PRs, and the workflows
+   trigger on `pull_request` — so a PR branch alone fires nothing. For each open
+   same-repo GitHub PR we keep one open Windy Git PR with the same head/base.
+   Gitea then fires `pull_request` on open and `synchronize` whenever the sync
+   moves the branch. Windy Git PRs whose GitHub PR closed are closed here too.
+   Fork PRs are ignored: their head branch is never synced, and untrusted fork
+   code on this runner is exactly the blast radius the audit warned about.
+
+2. **Post results back** as GitHub commit statuses (context
+   `windy-git/<workflow>/<job>`) on each PR head and on the default-branch head.
+   Only posts when a context's state changed, so a 15-min loop doesn't pile
