The buildctl/skopeo step here was one of nineteen near-identical copies
across the estate. That duplication is why moving them off rootless
buildah (infra#241) took eleven commits and then had to be rediscovered
in both repo templates and the gitea-ci skill.
The implementation now lives in .gitea/build-image.sh, byte-identical to
mathias/infra's ci-templates/build-image.sh and held there by a drift
gate. What used to be textual differences between copies -- labels, tags,
build-args, build target -- are environment inputs.
Behaviour is unchanged: same registry, same tags, same labels, same
buildctl-against-host-buildkitd path.

Main has been CI-red since 2026-08-13. The build job dies extracting a base
image layer inside the gitea-runner pod:
ApplyLayer ... potentially insufficient UIDs or GIDs available in user
namespace (requested 0:42 for /etc/gshadow)
Root cause is the runner pod's securityContext, not this repo: it drops ALL
capabilities and sets allowPrivilegeEscalation:false, so newuidmap/newgidmap
can't gain CAP_SETUID/CAP_SETGID and rootless buildah falls back to a single
non-remapped uid/gid mapping. Adding those capabilities was tried live in the
infra repo and reverted as a confirmed no-op (no_new_privs blocks the
setuid-exec gain regardless of the container's capability set).
buildctl talks to koala's host buildkitd over /run/buildkit/buildkitd.sock,
which the runner pod already mounts, so the privileged layer work happens in
buildkitd on the host and the pod's hardened posture is untouched. Same
migration agentsquad (infra#233) and segment-embedder (infra#243) already made.
Drops the buildah smoke test with it: `buildah from ${REF}` would pull the
image back into the pod's buildah store and hit the very wall this migration
avoids, failing the job for a reason unrelated to the image. The deploy job's
`Verify rollout` is the stronger check — it requires the real pod to reach
Ready in-cluster, rather than the entrypoint printing its own name for 5s.
Tag builds lose their only image-level check (deploy runs on main pushes only);
accepted, since a tag is always cut from a main commit that already deployed.

Bare `/tapir` runs the long-running server, same as the old ctr-based smoke
test. ctr's --rm reliably force-killed it; a plain `timeout N buildah run`
does not — it only signals the wrapper, and the container process can
survive that and keep the log pipe open, hanging the whole job (observed
live: run 155, 14min before failure). Backgrounds the run and tears it down
with `buildah rm -f`, which forcibly kills regardless of wrapper state, and
captures output via a file instead of a blocking pipe.
Refs infra#132.
Same fix as cobalt-dingo — removes the sudo/host-containerd dependency so
this still works once the act_runner is containerized (infra#132).
Refs infra#132.
Fixes silent stale-deploy gap: CI built+pushed images but nothing bumped
k3s/apps/tapir/deployment.yaml, so merged features sat CI-green with zero
production effect (infra#111, infra#168). Flux native image-automation
can't scan localhost:5000 from inside k3s pods, so this patches the infra
repo directly via the existing INFRA_DEPLOY_KEY org secret (same key
cobalt-dingo and brain-gardener already use) on every push to main.
Refs infra#111.
Mirror to github.com was failing with 'unsupported in libcrypto' on every run
(OpenSSL 3.6 / OpenSSH 10 dropped support for the existing key format). Removed
rather than leave it polluting the CI signal. Re-add when the deploy key is
rotated to ed25519.
go.mod requires >=1.26.1 but the Dockerfile pinned golang:1.25 -> 'go.mod
requires go >= 1.26.1 (running go 1.25.11)'. Also revert the ci.yml XDG hack:
the real rootless-buildah fix is a user ~/.config/containers/storage.conf (vfs +
writable runroot), which fixes plain buildah for every repo without workflow
changes.
The act_runner is a systemd service with no login session → XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
unset → rootless buildah uses root-owned /run/containers and fails 'mkdir
/run/containers: permission denied'. Set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to a per-job mktemp
dir so its runroot is writable. (check + on:/go-version fixes already landed;
this unblocks the image build → registry.)
Bare 'on:' is a YAML boolean (Norway problem) — parsed as the key True, not
the string 'on'. Gitea's workflow loader then materialised 0 jobs and every run
failed instantly. Quoting "on": fixes dispatch.
check -> build -> mirror, self-hosted runner, buildah to localhost:5000, k3s
smoke test. Follows the gitea-ci skill template and its act_runner gotchas
(secrets inlined in run:, no heredocs). check will be RED until the engine is
implemented (acceptance suite). Deploy job omitted until k3s manifests exist in
infra. GH_DEPLOY_KEY secret must be set before mirror succeeds.
