mhoennigandClaude Opus 5 35f06ec1ec Rename GitTally to Werkator
`gitTally` is the name of another product in the git space, so the
rename is a precaution; nothing about what the build system does changes.

The name follows one rule: `Werkator` where it is prose, capitalized
where it is a Kotlin type and its file, lowercase everywhere a machine
reads it — the command, packages, paths, configuration keys and values,
the Gitea check context. Environment variables keep their convention and
are uppercase throughout.

Every configuration file is still found under its pre-rename name
(`ConfigFiles`): `.gittally.yml` at the repository root, in a build
worktree and as committed on a branch, `.git/gittally/.gittally.yml` for
the machine layer. The current name wins where both exist, and the old
file is then ignored rather than merged — two files side by side are a
half-done rename, not a layering. Without the fallback an installation
that updated without renaming would not fail: a configuration that is
not found leaves every setting at its default, so it would come up
looking healthy while having forgotten its credentials and its builds.

`docs/werkator-migrationsplan.md` lists what the fallback does not
cover and has to be moved by hand — above all the state directory
`.git/werkator/`, which holds the build history, the control token and
the worktrees, and has no fallback of its own.

`docs/migration-from-legacy.md` is deleted with this: it mapped the
legacy script's environment variables, and every host it addressed has
long since moved to the YAML configuration.

mhoennigandClaude Opus 5 93bed2bd45 The host loses its builds section once master carries one
Not a shrink to the pinned docker keys but a full removal: the pinning
strips the branch layer only, so master's committed config is merged
unstripped and its sandbox policy reaches every branch. The nightly job
moves there with it. A rollback below v0.9.19 is no longer provided for.

mhoennigandClaude Opus 5 0e7f024de4 Record the host config cleanup that step 18 no longer has to do
The machine config on vm4006 lost its legacy branches block, renamed
builds.master to builds.nightly and moved build/libs into the default
definition's artifactDirs. Step 18 still described that work as pending
and named a rollback path to 0.9.18 that the file no longer supports.

What is left there is the shrinking to genuinely host-specific keys,
plus the open question where the nightly rebuild belongs once master
carries its own config.

mhoennig f0f996a53c A build definition says when it runs in a trigger block of its own
`onPush`, `atTimes`, `branches`, and `activeWithin` move into a nested
`trigger`. The split is structural on purpose: the inheritance from
`builds.default` now subtracts one key instead of a list of four, so a
selector added to `TriggerConfig` later is non-inheritable by
construction rather than because someone remembered to extend the list.

A definition still writing those keys flat is refused by name, per file
and scoped like the version check — the machine and project config abort
the start, a branch's committed config fails only that branch. Ignoring
them would leave the build with no trigger at all, which is a job that
quietly stops running: the failure this refusal exists to prevent.

Two more things a definition can now say:

- A `!` prefix in `trigger.branches` excludes, and an exclusion wins
  whatever the order. `["*", "!master"]` gives one branch a build of its
  own without the default build running over it as well — until now the
  only way out of that double build was to drop the second definition's
  push trigger.
- `statusContext` overrides the Gitea check this build reports as, empty
  keeping the repository-wide one. Two builds of a commit shared a
  context and overwrote each other's result, so a quick check beside a
  long build was not readable in Gitea. Pinned like `requirePullRequest`:
  a branch that could pick its context could take over the check a branch
  protection rule depends on.

Fixed on the way: a branch whose builds all belong to named definitions
rendered an empty row in the branches view, reading as "never built"
directly beside its real builds. That row was unreachable before the
exclusion patterns made such a branch possible.
