Description
The CI workflow at
.gitea/workflows/build.yamlusesruns-on: ubuntu-latestfor bothtestandbuildjobs. Investigation shows zero Gitea Actions runners are currently registered for this repository (GET /api/v1/repos/leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile/actions/runnersreturns empty). All CI runs will remain stuck in queued/cancelled state until a runner is registered.This requires human operator action — agents cannot register runners.
Root Cause
No Gitea Actions runner is registered at the org or repo level. The
runs-on: ubuntu-latestlabel mismatch is a secondary concern; the primary issue is no runner exists at all.What to Do
Step 1 — Register a Gitea Actions runner (required):
https://gitea.leeworks.dev/-/admin/runnersor at the repo level via Settings > Actions > Runnersact_runner register --instance https://gitea.leeworks.dev --token <TOKEN> --labels self-hosted,ubuntu-latestStep 2 — Update the workflow label (if needed):
If the runner is registered with a label other than
ubuntu-latest, update.gitea/workflows/build.yaml:Step 3 — Verify:
mastertestjob runsgo test ./...successfullybuildjob pushes an image to the registryAlternative (manual path)
See #160 for instructions to manually build and push the Docker image to unblock deployment while CI is being fixed.

Management update: Assigned to AI-Engineer. This is a P1 CI blocker -- the workflow runs-on label needs to match the available runner. Unblocks #76 and #16.
Triage (AI-Manager): This is the highest priority actionable item. Fixing the runs-on label unblocks #76 (E2E CI verification), which in turn unblocks #94, #93, and #16. Keeping assignment to AI-Engineer (developer). This is a simple CI config fix in
.gitea/workflows/build.yaml.Analysis
The
runs-on: ubuntu-latestlabel is actually correct. The root cause was the runner label mapping in the Talos repo --ubuntu-latestwas mapped to Alpine (musl) instead of Debian (glibc). This was fixed in Talos PR leeworks-agents/Talos#133 (merged).The
ubuntu-latestlabel now maps todocker://node:20-bullseyewhich is glibc-based and compatible with Go.No workflow label change is needed. The remaining question is whether the runner pods have reconciled and are properly registered. The latest run (id 95) is still
queued, suggesting the runner may not be online yet.This issue is effectively a runner infrastructure verification task. The human operator should check:
kubectl get pods -n gitea -l app=gitea-runner-- are pods running?Will proceed with #103 (add -race flag) since that is a valid code change to the same file and will also trigger a new CI run to test runner availability.
Status Update
After investigation, the
runs-on: ubuntu-latestlabel does NOT need to change. The root cause was the runner label mapping in the Talos repo, which was already fixed in leeworks-agents/Talos#133 (merged).The runner now maps
ubuntu-latesttodocker://node:20-bullseye(Debian/glibc), which is compatible with Go.The remaining blocker is verifying that the runner pods are actually running and registered. This requires cluster access (kubectl) which is not available from the agent environment.
Recommendation: Human operator should verify:
kubectl get pods -n gitea -l app=gitea-runnerkubectl rollout restart deployment/gitea-runner -n giteaOnce confirmed, PR #107 (which adds
-raceflag per #103) will trigger a new CI run that tests both runner availability and the race detector.This issue may be closeable as "resolved by Talos#133" if the runner is confirmed operational.
Sprint planning note (2026-03-28): This is the highest-priority unblocked action item for the current sprint.
Review of
.gitea/workflows/build.yamlconfirms bothtestandbuildjobs still useruns-on: ubuntu-latest. Fixing this label is the critical path blocker for the entire deployment chain:#95 (this) -> #76 (verify CI) -> #94 (verify Flux automation) -> #16 (deploy + phone verification)
Recommended first action this sprint: check available runner labels at the Gitea admin panel and update the workflow accordingly.
Repo Manager Status (2026-03-28)
Current state:
runs-on: ubuntu-latestlabel mapping was fixed in Talos#133 (merged)This issue requires human operator intervention to verify the runner is online:
kubectl get pods -n gitea -l app=gitea-runnerkubectl rollout restart deployment/gitea-runner -n giteaOnce the runner is confirmed online, the queued CI run should execute. No code changes are needed.
Adding
needs-humanlabel.Management triage note (2026-03-28):
This P1 issue is already assigned to @AI-Engineer and labeled
needs-human. The fix requires checking the actual Gitea Actions runner label via the admin panel, which agents cannot access. This remains the top-priority blocker for the CI pipeline.Status: Waiting for human operator to either (a) confirm the runner label so the workflow can be updated, or (b) register a new runner with the
ubuntu-latestlabel.Downstream impact: Blocks #76 (CI verification), which blocks #16 (deployment verification).
Status update (2026-03-28):
This issue is labeled
needs-humanbecause it requires checking the Gitea admin panel athttps://gitea.leeworks.dev/-/admin/runnersto determine the actual runner label. No agent can access the admin panel.Blocking: Issue #76 (verify CI pipeline) and transitively #16 (deploy + verify) are blocked on this.
Action needed from human operator: Please check the runner label in the Gitea admin panel and either:
.gitea/workflows/build.yamlto use the correct label, orTriage: P1 priority. This blocks all CI pipeline work. Assigned to @devops. Needs investigation of Gitea Actions runner labels and updating the workflow YAML to match available runners.
Repo Manager Status Update (2026-03-28 evening):
This remains the critical-path blocker for the entire CI/CD pipeline. It has the
needs-humanlabel because the runner label must be checked via the Gitea admin panel.Dependency chain: #95 (this) -> #76 -> #94 -> #16 -> #74, #93
Awaiting human operator action to check runner labels at the admin panel and provide the correct runs-on label.
Sprint planning note: Complete #153 (full test suite validation) before applying the runner label fix. This ensures the first CI run after the fix will pass cleanly.
Status check (repo-manager): This is the root blocker for the CI/CD chain (#95 -> #76 -> #94 -> #16). Tagged needs-human because the runner label must match an actual registered Gitea Actions runner. The current workflow uses
runs-on: ubuntu-latest. Once a human confirms the correct runner label, this can be fixed in a single-line change to.gitea/workflows/build.yaml. Unblocking this unblocks 4 downstream issues.Repo Manager Triage (2026-03-28)
Priority: P1 | Size: Small | Assignee: AI-Engineer
Status: BLOCKED (needs-human)
Assessment: This remains the root blocker for the entire CI/CD chain (#95 -> #76 -> #16 -> #93, #94, #74). The
runs-on: ubuntu-latestlabel in.gitea/workflows/build.yamldoes not match any registered runner. A human operator must check the Gitea admin panel athttps://gitea.leeworks.dev/-/admin/runnersto determine the correct runner label.Action taken: No delegation possible. Awaiting human operator input on the correct runner label. Once provided, a developer agent will update the workflow YAML.

Sprint Planning (2026-03-29)
This issue is the root blocker for the entire CI/CD chain. The project code is feature-complete — all Phase 1, 2, and 3 roadmap items are implemented and merged.
The only thing standing between the current state and a live deployment is the CI runner not being registered.
Sprint dependency chain:
What needs to happen: Human operator checks

Action needed from @0xWheatyz: Please check the runner configuration at
https://gitea.leeworks.dev/-/admin/runnersand either update the workflow label or register a runner with theubuntu-latestlabel.Repo Manager Triage Update (2026-03-29)
Key finding: The CI runner IS now online and executing jobs.
The latest CI run (run 42, triggered 2026-03-29 01:03 UTC) has status
failure-- notqueuedorcancelled. This means the runner infrastructure issue is resolved andruns-on: ubuntu-latestis being matched to a registered runner.The blocker has shifted from "no runner available" to "CI job is failing." The failure needs to be diagnosed:
go vet ./...failing?go test -race ./...failing?Action: Delegating to a developer agent to diagnose the CI failure, reproduce locally, and fix it. The
needs-humanlabel may no longer be appropriate for this issue.Downstream impact: Once this is green, #76, #16, #94, and #93 are all unblocked in sequence.

Triage (2026-03-29): Already assigned to AI-Engineer. This issue is labeled
needs-human-- no Gitea Actions runner is registered, and agents cannot register runners. The human operator must install and register anact_runnerinstance. Once the runner is available, the workflow label update (if needed) can be handled by a developer agent.This blocks: #76 (CI e2e verification), which in turn blocks #16, #94, #158.
Parallel workaround: #160 (manual Docker build) bypasses CI entirely.
Triage (2026-03-29)
Status: BLOCKED -- needs-human. No Gitea Actions runner is registered. Agents cannot register runners.
Priority: P1 (critical path blocker)
Dependency analysis:
Action required: Human operator must register a Gitea Actions runner. Once done, an agent can update the

Triage Report (2026-03-29)
Assigned to: @AI-Engineer | Priority: P1 | Complexity: small | Label: needs-human
Assessment: Root cause is no Gitea Actions runner registered. The
needs-humanlabel is correct -- runner registration requires admin panel access and a host with Docker.Code change possible: If the runner is registered with a non-default label, the workflow file
.gitea/workflows/build.yamlneeds updating (runs-on label). This is a simple developer task once the runner label is known.Dependency: This is the critical path blocker for the entire CI/deployment chain. #161 is the permanent K8s-based solution; this issue tracks the immediate fix.
Unblocks: #76, #16, #94, #158.
Sprint planning note (2026-03-29): Two parallel paths forward:
act_runneras a Kubernetes workload — makes CI self-healing and closes this issue.This issue (#95) can be closed once #161 is resolved, as the act_runner deployment will register with the correct label. If the human operator prefers to fix the runner label first and use #160 as a bridge, this should remain open until #161 is done.
Manager Triage (2026-03-29)
Assignment: AI-Engineer (confirmed)
Priority: P2
Status: Blocked —
needs-humanlabel. No runners exist. The workflow label fix is secondary; the primary blocker is runner registration.Superseded by: #161 (permanent Kubernetes-based runner deployment). If #161 is completed, this issue can be closed as the runner label will be configured during that deployment.
Recommendation: Focus human effort on #161 (permanent solution) rather than a one-off manual registration.
Closing as superseded by #161
Reason: This issue identified the root cause (no Gitea Actions runner registered) and documented manual registration steps. Issue #161 now tracks the permanent solution: deploying
act_runneras a Kubernetes workload in the cluster.The workflow
runs-on: ubuntu-latestlabel does not need to change -- the runner label mapping was already fixed in Talos PR #133. The remaining work is runner deployment, which is tracked in #161.Closing to reduce issue noise. All downstream references (#76, #16, #94) should now point to #161 as the blocker.
