Problem
The
gitea-act-runnerHelmRelease (Flux manifest atflux/gitea-runner/helmrelease.yaml) requires a Kubernetes secret namedgitea-runner-tokenin thegitea-runnernamespace. Without it, the runner pod cannot authenticate to Gitea and will never appear as Online in Gitea Admin → Actions → Runners.This is blocker #4 in
STATUS.mdand item #2 indocs/secrets-checklist.md, but it has no dedicated tracking issue — it is currently buried inside issue #3 (the broader act-runner deploy task). This issue gives it its own trackable entry, consistent with #70 (grafana-admin), #73 (gatus-slack-webhook), #74 (GITEA_TOKEN), and #76 (gitea-leeworks-agents-token).What the operator must do
Generate a runner registration token:
Create the secret in the cluster:
Note: the
gitea-runnernamespace is created by Flux when it reconciles the HelmRelease. If it doesn't exist yet, create it manually:Then check Gitea Admin → Actions → Runners — should show at least one runner with status Online.
Acceptance criteria
kubectl get secret gitea-runner-token -n gitea-runnerreturns the secretflux get helmreleases -n gitea-runnershows the act-runner HelmRelease asREADY=TrueDependencies
Note
This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot access Gitea Admin or create Kubernetes secrets.

Triage — @devops / 2026-05-28 (night cycle)
This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot access Gitea Admin or create Kubernetes secrets.
Status: Awaiting operator action. All prerequisites are clearly documented.
Summary of action needed:
flux reconcile helmrelease gitea-act-runner -n gitea-runnerkubectl get pods -n gitea-runnerThis is blocker #4 in
STATUS.md. Once the runner is online, CI workflows in this repo (#18, #29) will be able to execute. Depends on #76 (Flux must be active first) and #47 (upstream repo must exist).No agent-implementable work exists here. Issue remains open until operator confirms the runner shows Online in Gitea Admin → Actions → Runners.
@devops — Triaged. This is a manual operator task. The agent cannot access Gitea Admin or create Kubernetes secrets. Status: blocked on operator action — operator must generate runner registration token and create
