Hostinger Gitea Actions Runner — Execution Roadmap
Codex agent — this is your execution tracker.
- Read this file top-to-bottom before starting.
- Work through phases in order. Do not skip phases.
- After completing each task, edit this file: change
- [ ]→- [x], fill in the commit hash, and add a one-line status note. Then commit the roadmap update with messagechore(roadmap): mark P<phase>.<task> complete.- If anything blocks you or surprises you, stop, fill in the
Statusline asBLOCKED: <reason>, and report back to the human.- When all phases are ✅, fill in §Review handoff and ping the human.
Detailed instructions for each phase live in two companion docs — link from each phase. Don't repeat the details here; just track progress.

_PLAN_B_GITHUB_RUNNER.md
🎯 Outcome
After this roadmap is fully executed, the following invariant holds:
Pushing a
v*tag to both Gitea instances (git push origin && git push gitea --tags) causes each Gitea'sact_runnerto independently build@bytelyst/*packages from the same git tag and publish byte-identical tarballs to its local Gitea registry — with no sync script and no manual intervention.
The cross-Gitea SHA comparison in P3.6 and P5.3 is the proof.
📋 Master execution tracker
Total phases: 6 (P0 → P5) + Review handoff (P6)
P0 — Pre-flight + environment verification
Detail: §2 of runner setup doc
- P0.1 All 10 pre-flight checks pass on Hostinger VM
- Commit: none (read-only)
- Status:
PASS: Hostinger VM Linux x86_64; https://gitea.bytelyst.com root=200 version=1.22.6; Docker OK; 66G free; no /root/act_runner; publish token present at /root/.gitea_npm_token. Human directed HTTPS Gitea URL and registry owner saravanakumardb for owner paths.
- P0.2 Architecture confirmed and
RUNNER_ARCHexported- Commit: none
- Status:
x86_64 → linux-amd64; exported RUNNER_ARCH=linux-amd64 for act_runner download commands.
- P0.3 Human confirmed registration scope (instance-level recommended)
- Commit: none
- Status:
scope confirmed: instance-level runner
- P0.4 Human confirmed E2E throwaway-package consent
- Commit: none
- Status:
yes — consent granted to publish and delete @bytelyst/_runner-e2e-test during P3 cleanup
P1 — Install act_runner on Hostinger VM
Detail: §4 of runner setup doc
- P1.1 Create
gitea-runneruser (idempotent; docker group)- Commit: system change, not git
- Status:
Created gitea-runner user; id shows uid=1001 gid=1001 groups=gitea-runner,docker.
- P1.2 Download
act_runnerbinary, SHA256-verify, install to/usr/local/bin/- Commit: system change
- Status:
Installed /usr/local/bin/act_runner as gitea-runner version v1.0.6; SHA256 verified via gitea/runner checksums.txt. Deviation: upstream repo/assets are now gitea/runner + gitea-runner-* rather than gitea/act_runner + act_runner-*.
- P1.3 Obtain registration token from Gitea (instance level)
- Commit: none (token in memory only)
- Status:
Existing global runner registration found in Gitea UI: id=1 name=bytelyst-host-runner version=v0.3.0 status=Idle. No new registration token needed; reuse existing registration for migration.
- P1.4 Register runner with config.yaml (Docker mode,
node:20-bookwormlabel mapping)- Commit: system change
- Status:
Reused existing global runner registration bytelyst-host-runner; migrated .runner into /home/gitea-runner/act_runner with Docker-mode labels ubuntu-latest/linux/bytelyst/hostinger -> node:20-bookworm. Config permits only /home/gitea-runner/.gitea_npm_token as workflow bind mount.
- P1.5 Mount
~/.gitea_npm_tokentogitea-runner(mode 600)- Commit: system change
- Status:
Copied from /root/.gitea_npm_token to /home/gitea-runner/.gitea_npm_token; owner gitea-runner:gitea-runner; mode 600; bytes=41.
- P1.6 Install systemd service
gitea-act-runner.serviceand verifyactive (running)+ "Polling" in journal- Commit: system change
- Status:
Installed/enabled gitea-act-runner.service; stopped/disabled legacy root act-runner.service; service active running as gitea-runner. Journal shows labels updated to node:20-bookworm and runner bytelyst-host-runner v1.0.6 declared successfully.
- P1.7 Confirm runner shows "Idle" green in Gitea Admin UI (
<gitea>/-/admin/actions/runners)- Commit: none (UI verification)
- Status:
Human-provided Gitea Runners Management UI showed runner id=1 bytelyst-host-runner Idle/Global/now. After migration, service is active as gitea-runner and journal declares bytelyst-host-runner v1.0.6 with labels ubuntu-latest/linux/bytelyst/hostinger.
P2 — Smoke test (runner picks up jobs)
Detail: §5 of runner setup doc
- P2.1 Create branch
runner/gitea-smokewith.gitea/workflows/runner-smoke.yml- Commit:
fceee7d8 - Status:
Created smoke workflow branch runner/gitea-smoke and pushed to Gitea. Workflow uses labels ubuntu-latest/bytelyst/hostinger, node:20-bookworm runner mapping, and verifies host Gitea reachability plus absence of publish-token mount.
- Commit:
- P2.2 Trigger smoke workflow via Gitea Actions UI
- Commit: trigger only
- Status:
Triggered by push to runner/gitea-smoke; Gitea run URL https://gitea.bytelyst.com/bytelyst/learning_ai_common_plat/actions/runs/17.
- P2.3 All smoke steps pass (host info, Node, pnpm, Gitea reachability, token presence)
- Commit: none
- Status:
<run conclusion: success>
P3 — End-to-end validation (throwaway package + cross-Gitea byte-identical check)
Detail: §6 of runner setup doc
- P3.1 Create throwaway
@bytelyst/_runner-e2e-testpackage on branchrunner/gitea-e2e- Commit:
<sha7> - Status:
<branch pushed to both gitea and origin>
- Commit:
- P3.2 Add
.gitea/workflows/runner-e2e-publish.ymlto the same branch- Commit:
<sha7> - Status: ``
- Commit:
- P3.3 Trigger E2E workflow with
version=0.0.1-e2e.1- Commit: trigger only
- Status:
<run URL>
- P3.4 Verify publish succeeds + Gitea registry returns the version
- Commit: none
- Status: ``
- P3.5 Verify consumer
pnpm install+require()works from clean/tmpdir- Commit: none
- Status: ``
- P3.6 Cross-Gitea SHA1 comparison — corp Mac runner publishes same version to corp Gitea; verify tarball shasum matches Hostinger
- Commit: none (cross-machine verification)
- Status:
<HOSTINGER_SHA=... | CORP_SHA=... | MATCH: ✅/❌> - This is the architectural invariant. If it fails, STOP and investigate Node/pnpm/lockfile version drift before proceeding to P4.
- P3.7 Cleanup: delete test version from both Giteas, delete
runner/gitea-e2ebranch, removepackages/_runner-e2e-test/- Commit:
<sha7>(the cleanup commit on main) - Status:
<verified package absent from both Gitea UIs>
- Commit:
P4 — Implement publish-packages.yml (the real workflow)
Detail: Publish workflow doc

- Commit:
- P4.5 Merge workflow to
main- Commit:
<sha7> - Status:
<merged>
- Commit:
P5 — First real release through the new pipeline
Detail: §4 of publish workflow doc
- P5.1 Coordinate with human: which package to bump for the first real release? (Suggestion: lowest-risk one —
@bytelyst/errorsor similar with no consumers' tests depending on a version bump.)- Commit: none (decision)
- Status:
<package + version selected, e.g., @bytelyst/errors v0.1.5>
- P5.2 Bump version, commit, tag, push to BOTH

🛠 Operating notes for Codex
How to commit roadmap updates
When you tick a checkbox, write the commit message like:
chore(roadmap): mark P1.6 complete — act_runner systemd service active
Service is running and journal shows "Polling for tasks". See
docs/devops/gitea-runner/ROADMAP.md for the full tracker.
When you fill in a commit hash field for a code change, use the short SHA (7 chars) of the commit that performed the work — not the SHA of the roadmap-update commit itself. Example:
- [x] **P3.1** Create throwaway @bytelyst/_runner-e2e-test package
- Commit: abc1234
- Status: branch pushed to both gitea and origin
When to ask the human
Stop and ask if:
- A pre-flight check fails or surprises you (P0).
- The cross-Gitea SHA comparison fails (P3.6 or P5.4) — don't paper over this; it's the load-bearing invariant.
- You need to deviate from the plan in a non-trivial way (e.g., the Docker image digest isn't available, a step in the underlying doc doesn't work as written).
- The human's earlier answers in P0 turn out to be wrong (e.g., they said instance-level scope but you only have repo admin).
For minor things (e.g., a typo in the underlying doc, an extra package installation step), proceed and note it in "Surprises / deviations".
What you should NEVER do
- Skip P3.6 or P5.4 (cross-Gitea SHA checks).
- Publish to either Gitea outside of the workflow you just built — manual publishes break the invariant.
- Leave the throwaway test package in either Gitea registry.
- Force-push the roadmap file (always normal commits with descriptive messages).
- Mark something
[x]if it didn't actually fully succeed. Use[ ] FAILED: <reason>instead, and stop.
