ci: add Gitea Actions pipeline + runner runbook (refs #30)
Add .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml with lint, build, unit, and compose-smoke
jobs on runs-on: respellion-linux; uses: pinned to absolute tagged URLs
(§8.7/§15). Document the runner in docs/runbooks/ci.md: the respellion-
linux label, co-locating act_runner on the Gitea server in host mode,
prerequisites, and a security note.

The lint/build/unit/compose commands are verified locally. End-to-end
"pipeline green" is deferred until a runner is registered, so this refs
(does not close) #30; the issue stays open until CI runs green.

CI runbook — Gitea Actions

Status: pending runner. The workflow .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml is in place, but the pipeline cannot go green until a self-hosted runner with the respellion-linux label is registered against the Gitea instance. Until then runs stay queued. Tracked by issue #30 (S-00-c), which stays open until CI is verified green.

The pipeline

.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml runs on every push and pull request to main. Jobs:

Job Command Needs
lint dotnet format services/bff/Bff.slnx --verify-no-changes .NET 10 SDK
build dotnet build services/bff/Bff.slnx -c Release .NET 10 SDK
unit dotnet test services/bff/Bff.slnx -c Release .NET 10 SDK
compose-smoke docker compose -f infra/docker-compose.yml up -d --build --waitcurl /healthdown container engine + compose v2

All uses: references are absolute, tag-pinned URLs (https://github.com/actions/checkout@v4, https://github.com/actions/setup-dotnet@v4) per CLAUDE.md §8.7 and §15 — Gitea Actions resolves them from GitHub.

Runner: respellion-linux

The single self-hosted runner label this repo targets is respellion-linux (declared here per §15). It is intended to run co-located on the Gitea server (git.labs.respellion.tech / 46.224.220.37) so CI is durable and independent of any developer machine.

Host prerequisites

The runner executes jobs in host mode (see registration below), so the host must have, on PATH:

  • .NET 10 SDK (or let setup-dotnet install it into the runner tool cache)
  • A container engine with Compose v2 — Docker, or Podman with the Docker-compatible socket and the docker-compose provider (as configured on the dev box)
  • curl

Install & register act_runner (on the Gitea server)

# 1. Install the binary (pick the version matching the Gitea release line)
VER=0.2.11
curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/act_runner \
  "https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/${VER}/act_runner-${VER}-linux-amd64"
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/act_runner

# 2. Obtain a registration token from the Gitea UI:
#    Site Administration → Actions → Runners → "Create new Runner"  (instance-level)
#    (or Repo → Settings → Actions → Runners for a repo-scoped runner)

# 3. Register with the respellion-linux label in HOST execution mode.
#    The ":host" suffix means jobs run directly on the host shell, so
#    `docker compose` in compose-smoke uses the host engine (no docker-in-docker).
act_runner register --no-interactive \
  --instance https://git.labs.respellion.tech \
  --token <REGISTRATION_TOKEN> \
  --name respellion-ci-1 \
  --labels "respellion-linux:host"

# 4. Run it (foreground to verify, then install as a systemd service)
act_runner daemon

Verify in the Gitea UI (Actions → Runners) that respellion-ci-1 shows Idle, then re-run the CI workflow; all four jobs should pass.

Security note

A self-hosted runner in host mode executes workflow code directly on the Gitea server host. Anyone who can push a workflow can run code there. This is acceptable for a private lab instance with trusted contributors. For anything internet-facing, switch to container/VM isolation (--labels "respellion-linux:docker://...") or a dedicated runner host, and gate workflow runs on approval for outside PRs.
