Description

The CI pipeline (#95) is permanently blocked because no Gitea Actions runner is registered. Issue #95 documents the manual runner registration steps, but the permanent solution is to deploy act_runner as a Kubernetes Deployment in the cluster so CI is self-healing and does not require manual operator intervention.

This is the long-term fix that makes the CI pipeline reliably available.

What to Do

The K8s manifests for this work should be created in the Talos repo (tracked in leeworks-agents/Talos#291):

  1. Create Kubernetes manifests in the Talos repo at apps/gitea-actions-runner/:
    • namespace.yamlgitea-actions-runner namespace
    • deployment.yamlgitea/act_runner image, mounts Docker socket or uses rootless mode
    • secret.yaml — runner registration token (sealed secret)
    • kustomization.yaml — lists all resources
  2. Register the runner token via the Gitea admin panel and store it as a SealedSecret
  3. Configure the runner to use label ubuntu-latest (or update .gitea/workflows/build.yaml to use self-hosted)
  4. Verify: push a commit to master in gitea-mobile and confirm CI run completes

Acceptance Criteria

  • act_runner pod running in gitea-actions-runner namespace
  • Runner appears in Gitea admin panel (/-/admin/runners)
  • CI workflow for gitea-mobile completes successfully (test + build jobs)
  • Tagged Docker image pushed to registry by CI

## Description The CI pipeline (#95) is permanently blocked because no Gitea Actions runner is registered. Issue #95 documents the manual runner registration steps, but the permanent solution is to deploy `act_runner` as a Kubernetes Deployment in the cluster so CI is self-healing and does not require manual operator intervention. This is the long-term fix that makes the CI pipeline reliably available. ## What to Do The K8s manifests for this work should be created in the Talos repo (tracked in `leeworks-agents/Talos#291`): 1. Create Kubernetes manifests in the Talos repo at `apps/gitea-actions-runner/`: - `namespace.yaml` — `gitea-actions-runner` namespace - `deployment.yaml` — `gitea/act_runner` image, mounts Docker socket or uses rootless mode - `secret.yaml` — runner registration token (sealed secret) - `kustomization.yaml` — lists all resources 2. Register the runner token via the Gitea admin panel and store it as a SealedSecret 3. Configure the runner to use label `ubuntu-latest` (or update `.gitea/workflows/build.yaml` to use `self-hosted`) 4.

Priority: P1 | Complexity: large | Label: needs-human

Assessment: This is the permanent CI runner solution. Requires Kubernetes manifests in the Talos repo and a SealedSecret for the runner registration token. The needs-human label is correct -- runner token generation requires Gitea admin panel access.

Delegation: This is a cross-repo task (manifests go in Talos repo). Delegating to @devops for the Kubernetes manifest creation, with @senior-developer support for the workflow label coordination.

Dependency chain: This is the root blocker. Fixes #95, unblocks #76 -> #16 -> #94 -> #158.

Action: Blocked on human operator generating runner registration token. Once token is available, agent can create the K8s manifests.

Triage Report (2026-03-29)

Status: Partially delegatable, partially needs-human

Agent-doable work:

  • Draft Kubernetes manifests for act_runner Deployment, Namespace, and Kustomization in the Talos repo under testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-actions-runner/
  • This is cross-repo work (manifests belong in the Talos repo, not gitea-mobile)

Human-required steps:

  • Generate a runner registration token from the Gitea admin panel
  • Create and seal the runner token as a SealedSecret
  • Verify the runner registers and picks up jobs

Dependency chain: This is the root blocker for the entire automated CI path:
#161 -> #76 (CI verify) -> #158 (smoke test) -> #16 (deploy + mobile verify)

Recommendation: A @devops agent can draft the K8s manifests in the Talos repo. The human operator then needs to provide the registration token and apply/merge. Will delegate manifest drafting if the Talos repo work is in scope for this management cycle.

Triage Report (Repo Manager)

Recommended agent: @devops -- this is a Kubernetes deployment task (creating manifests, SealedSecrets, verifying runner registration).

Current assignment: AI-Engineer. Recommending reassignment to @devops as this involves K8s manifest creation, namespace setup, and FluxCD reconciliation.

Status: Labeled needs-human because runner registration token must be created via Gitea admin panel. The manifest creation (Deployment, Secret, Kustomization) can be done by an agent, but the SealedSecret requires cluster access.

Note: This issue spans TWO repos -- manifests go in the Talos repo (apps/gitea-actions-runner/), but tracking is here in gitea-mobile. The devops agent should work in the Talos repo for the K8s manifests.

Priority: P3 -- long-term CI fix. Unblocks #76, #16, #94, #158.

Triage (2026-03-29)

This is a large feature that involves creating Kubernetes manifests for the act_runner in the Talos repo. It is labeled blocked and needs-human because:

  1. The runner registration token must come from the Gitea admin UI (human action)
  2. The manifests need to go into the Talos repo under the cluster apps directory
  3. It requires cluster-level decisions (namespace, resource limits, RBAC)

However, an architect or senior developer could draft the Kubernetes manifests (Deployment, ServiceAccount, ConfigMap, Secret placeholder) and create a PR in the Talos repo. The human would then fill in the registration token secret.

Assessment: Partially actionable. The manifest authoring could be delegated to @senior-developer, but the actual deployment requires human intervention for the runner token. Given the blocked and needs-human labels, leaving as-is until the human operator is ready.

Triage Status (2026-03-30)

Assigned to: AI-Engineer (confirmed appropriate — this is a complex multi-file deployment task in the Talos repo).

Current State: Blocked. Deploying the act_runner requires a runner registration token from the Gitea instance, which requires human operator action. The existing gitea runner in the gitea namespace could potentially be reused, but this needs investigation.

Dependency: This issue would unblock #164 (CI pipeline verification). Resolving #167 (manual image push) is the shorter path to unblocking deployment.

Recommendation: This remains needs-human + blocked. The assigned agent (AI-Engineer) can prepare the K8s manifests, but registration requires human intervention.

Triage Report (2026-03-30)

Priority: P3, labeled blocked and needs-human.

Current findings:

  • The K8s manifests for act_runner already exist in the Talos repo at testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-actions-runner/
  • The deployment includes a DinD sidecar and auto-registration via Gitea admin API token
  • However, no runners are registered in Gitea (verified via API: repos/.../actions/runners returns 0 runners)
  • The runner pod may not be running, or the sealed-secret for runner-admin-token may not be properly configured

Status: Manifests are ready but runner is not operational.

This issue is correctly labeled needs-human because:

  1. The admin token secret needs to be created/verified by the operator
  2. The runner registration requires cluster access

No agent action needed until the human operator confirms the runner-admin-token secret is in place. Once confirmed, a devops agent can verify the runner pod is running and registered.

Triage Report (Repo Manager)

Priority: P3
Assignment: AI-Engineer -- acceptable (@devops would be ideal)
Status: Blocked, labeled needs-human

Analysis: This is a Kubernetes deployment task that requires:

  1. Creating K8s manifests in the Talos repo (Deployment, ServiceAccount, Secret)
  2. A runner registration token from Gitea admin (needs human)
  3. Cluster access for verification

The manifest authoring could be delegated to @devops, but the needs-human label and blocked status means the runner registration token is the primary blocker. An agent could pre-author the manifests while waiting for the token.

Recommendation: Consider having @devops pre-author the act_runner K8s manifests in the Talos repo so they are ready when the human provides the registration token. This would parallelize the work.

No agent spawned due to blocked status and cluster unreachability.

  1. Human operator to generate a runner registration token via the Gitea admin panel
  2. SealedSecret creation for the token
  3. K8s manifests in the Talos repo (tracked as Talos#291)

No agent action possible until the human provides the registration token. Assignment to AI-Engineer is correct.

Triage Analysis (2026-03-31)

Status: This is the root blocker for the entire gitea-mobile deployment pipeline.

Current state: The act_runner Deployment manifest already exists in the Talos repo at testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-actions-runner/deployment.yaml. The manifest configures:

  • gitea/act_runner:0.3.1 with DinD sidecar (docker:29-dind)
  • Auto-registration via Gitea admin API token
  • Labels: ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-22.04, self-hosted (all using docker://node:20-bullseye)

Blockers:

  • The runner pod is not present in the cluster (namespace gitea-actions-runner does not exist)
  • The Talos repo changes need to be merged to upstream (0xWheatyz/Talos) for Flux to deploy them
  • A runner-admin-token Secret must be created in the gitea-actions-runner namespace with a valid Gitea admin API token

Dependencies: This blocks #171, #170, #164, #94, #167, #169, #165, and ultimately all downstream validation issues.

Action needed: Human operator needs to:

  1. Review and merge the Talos PR that adds gitea-actions-runner manifests
  2. Create the runner-admin-token Secret with a valid Gitea admin token
  3. Verify the runner registers successfully with the Gitea instance

Repo Manager Triage Update (2026-04-19)

Status: The act_runner K8s manifests exist in upstream Talos at testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-actions-runner/ (deployment, kustomization, namespace, sealed-secret, etc.). However, no runners are registered in Gitea (verified via API: 0 runners found for this repo).

Root cause: Either the act_runner pod is not running in the cluster, or the runner registration is failing (bad token, network issue, etc.).

Needs human investigation:

kubectl get pods -n gitea-actions-runner
kubectl describe pod -n gitea-actions-runner -l app=act-runner
kubectl logs -n gitea-actions-runner -l app=act-runner --tail=50

Impact: Without a working runner, CI cannot build and push images automatically. This blocks #170, #164, and the long-term CI pipeline.

Assigned to: AI-Engineer (manifest work done), but needs human for cluster-level diagnosis.

Triage Analysis (2026-04-19)

Status: Blocked — requires human operator action. Labeled needs-human.

Assessment: This issue requires work in the Talos repo, not gitea-mobile. The K8s manifests need to be created at testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-actions-runner/ in the Talos repo and merged to upstream 0xWheatyz/Talos for FluxCD to deploy.

Current state:

  • The Talos repo already has a gitea-runner deployment in testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea/ (the main Gitea deployment includes a runner sidecar).
  • The gitea-mobile CI workflow (.gitea/workflows/build.yaml) uses runs-on: ubuntu-latest labels.
  • No upstream repo exists for gitea-mobile (0xWheatyz/gitea-mobile does not exist yet).

Blocking items:

  1. Runner registration token must be generated by the human operator via Gitea admin panel.
  2. K8s manifests must be merged to upstream Talos repo by the human operator.
  3. The upstream 0xWheatyz/gitea-mobile repo needs to be created.

This blocks: #164, #94, #158, and transitively #169 and all verification issues (#165-#176).

Recommendation: Escalate to human operator. This is the critical-path blocker for the entire gitea-mobile deployment pipeline.
