Michael Hönnig 71f1fc62c6 Bwrap build runtime und Installation in Hostsharing Managed Webspace (#4)
* Add the bubblewrap build runtime (step 17, ADR 0007)

BwrapBuildRunner: third runtime behind BuildRunner for hosts without root
and without Docker (e.g. Hostsharing managed webspaces). Shells out to the
bwrap CLI, unpacks a prepared rootfs on demand into
.git/werkator/buildenv/<envKey>/rootfs, reuses the Docker runner's git
metadata mounts, and returns the attached bwrap process for streaming and
cancellation.

Config: bwrap.enabled/rootfs/env on BranchConfig and BwrapOverrides on
BuildDefinition; enabled/rootfs are pinned like the docker sandbox policy.
Docker and bwrap are mutually exclusive per build, rejected in
buildSettings instead of picked silently. DispatchingBuildRunner routes
bwrap; InitCommand template, docs/configuration.md and AGENTS.md in sync.

* bwrap rollout tooling: remote script, prerequisites disk/quota check, absolute workspace binds

- tools/remote: central remote control script with check-prerequisites, install and build commands
- tools/werkator-build-prerequisites.sh: compact PASS/FAIL output, target-dir parameter, free-space and
  group-quota headroom checks against the ~5 GiB build footprint, home-filesystem reference
- BwrapBuildRunner: bind workspace and home at absolute paths resolved against repoDir — a relative
  path made bwrap create mountpoints inside the read-only rootfs (seen on the webspace); regression test
- TestcontainersSmokeTest: gated with enabledIf docker available (skip, never fail, without a daemon)
- docs: configuration reference, step-17 plan notes, PR-doc

* bwrap: bind the repo read-write before the workspace so mountpoints are creatable

bwrap creates mountpoints for bind destinations inside the sandbox; with only a
read-only rootfs bound at /, creating them for the workspace under .git/werkator/
worktrees failed with 'Read-only file system' (seen on the webspace). Binding the
repo dir read-write first provides the base; the git metadata mounts then layer
the usual isolation on top (read-only .git, tmpfs mask over .git/werkator,
read-write worktree admin dir).

* bwrap: pre-create bind mountpoints inside the unpacked rootfs

bwrap mkdirs mountpoints for bind destinations against the sandbox view; with the
rootfs ro-bound at / every destination missing from the rootfs (the repo dir under
/home/storage/... on the webspace) fails with 'Read-only file system'. The rootfs
directory is a plain host dir, so create the mountpoints there before launching
bwrap; it then finds them and has nothing left to create.

* bwrap: skip existing rootfs files when pre-creating bind mountpoints

/etc/resolv.conf is a file the rootfs already ships; createDirectories threw on it.
Only missing directories are created now.

* bwrap: pre-create proc/dev/tmpfs mountpoints in the rootfs too

The rootfs archive ships no /proc or /dev (excluded when packed), so bwrap failed
mkdir'ing their mountpoints against the read-only root.

* bwrap: bind the workspace after the git metadata mounts

The tmpfs mask over .git/werkator shadowed the earlier workspace bind, because the
worktree lives under .git/werkator/worktrees — chdir then failed with ENOENT. The
workspace bind now comes last and shadows the mask at exactly its own path.

* systemd resource limits and webspace start command (step 17, web access)

- server.systemd.memoryMax/tasksMax (empty = directive omitted): on platforms where
  the service runs in a shared memory slice (Hostsharing Managed Webspaces) a
  runaway Gradle build must not starve the whole package; init --systemd reads the
  effective config and bakes the values into the generated unit
- tools/remote werkator start: writes server settings (assigned port, loopback
  bind, publicBaseUrl, nginx off) plus the Apache reverse-proxy .htaccess into
  ~/doms/<domain>/subs/www, runs init --systemd and enables the user unit
- docs/configuration.md documents the new keys

* tools/remote: env-based configuration and background port-forward

All connection and deployment values come from .env in the repository root
(WERKATOR_REMOTE, WERKATOR_PATH, WERKATOR_PORT, WERKATOR_DOMAIN,
WERKATOR_LOCAL_PORT, optional WERKATOR_BRANCH/MEMORY_MAX/TASKS_MAX/ROOTFS);
missing values fail with a pointing error instead of positional parameters.

- port-forward is now 'tools/remote port-forward start|stop' with a detached
  ssh tunnel, pid file under /tmp, and idempotent start
- start restarts the systemd unit after updating the machine config
- control-token generates the token in place when the server has not yet
- the rootfs archive default moves to build/ (already gitignored)

Michael HönnigandClaude Opus 5 d0169e57bc Renaming gitTally to Werkator because there is another git-related tool named gittally (#1)
* renaming from gitTally to Werkator

* 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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Move the pre-rename state directory at the first start

The configuration is found under either name, the state is not: build
history, control token, auto-build slots and worktrees live at one fixed
path. An installation that updates without moving `.git/gittally` would
not fail — it would come up with an empty history and a fresh control
token, quietly. So the first start moves it instead of the release notes
asking for it.

Only when the old directory exists and the new one does not. Where both
exist nothing is touched and a warning names the leftover: which of the
two is the live state is not something to guess. A failed move is an
error in the log, never an abort — a CI must not hang on it.

The worktrees are dropped rather than moved, since they point at their
old path in both directions; `GitWorktreeWorkspaces` prunes the stale
admin entry and recreates each on its branch's next build. A generated
systemd unit moves with the directory and leaves its symlink dangling,
which is warned about — the running service is unaffected, the next
start is not.

Runs from `CliRunner`, before any command resolves a path under the
directory, and so before the second context of `server` exists.

* Document PR#1: the rename to Werkator

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Drop the legacy env-to-YAML conversion from the setup tool

The old bash script configured itself through `GITTALLY_*` environment
variables. The blanket rename rewrote those literals, so the converter
was looking for `WERKATOR_*` — a spelling no host has ever written. Fed
a real legacy file it would have found nothing and written an almost
empty configuration, without an error, which is the same silent failure
this rename is otherwise careful to avoid.

The conversion has served its purpose with the vm2176 to vm4006
migration, so it goes instead of being repaired. What remains is the
setup of a new instance: the preconditions, the credential prompt, and
the machine configuration written mode 600 — now carrying the host's
public URL as well, since that is host-specific too. Everything the
repository builds comes from `init` and its templates.

It also stops emitting a legacy `branches:` section, which step 18 is
about to reject outright.

`docs/plan/00-legacy-analysis.md` and `13-nginx-tls.md` get the real
`GITTALLY_*` spelling back: they record what the old script read.

* Describe this repository's build with a build definition

Its own `.werkator.yml` still used the deprecated `branches` section
with an `autoBuild` schedule that was switched off. That section is read
only while nothing defines a build at all, and step 18 rejects it by
name — so this repository would have blocked the precondition of that
step, which asks that no configuration still in play carries it.

Nothing about the build changes: `builds.default` with `trigger.onPush`
is a build of every new commit on every branch, which is what the branch
section said. `config:print --full` resolves the definition completely
and logs no deprecation warning any more.

* Stop documenting the pre-rename fallback for users

Exactly one repository is configured with the old names, and it is
migrated by hand in the same move as this release. The fallback is
therefore a transition of days, not a feature anyone reading the release
notes or the configuration reference has to plan around.

Removed from `releases.html` and `docs/configuration.md`. The mechanism
itself is unchanged and stays described where it is worked on: in
`ConfigFiles`, in `StateDirMigration`, and in the migration plan.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Bring the PR-doc to its final state

The `statusContext` question is answered and marked as decided rather
than left standing: it is the one value a human reads as a label, and it
stays lowercase because Gitea matches it and the client reads it back,
which makes it a value.

Also records that the pre-rename fallback is deliberately absent from
the release notes and the configuration reference.

* Release v1.0.0: Werkator

The release after 0.9.21 is 1.0.0, because a product that changes its
name is better off counting from one under it. The release note says as
much, so the jump is not read as a claim about maturity — plan steps 14,
17 and 18 are still open.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Correct the PR-doc about the version

It claimed the PR carries no version bump, which the release commit made
untrue, and records why the number is 1.0.0 instead of 0.9.22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Point the legacy references at the history

`legacy/gitTally` was removed from the tree with the rename, but the
README still described it as a reference kept in the repository, and the
plan told an executing session to read parts of it — including step 14,
which is open.

The README section is gone; `docs/plan/README.md`, step 14 and the
legacy analysis now say where the script actually is
(`git show 7f55068^:legacy/gitTally`). Executed steps and ADR 0004 keep
their wording: they record what was true when they ran.

* Retarget the links in the historic PR-docs

The package rename moved every file the older PR-docs link to, leaving
60 dead links. Only the link targets are rewritten, never the visible
text and never a statement: those documents record what was true when
they were written, GitTally in the prose included. A snapshot may be
outdated; it should still be navigable.

* Add the v1.0.0 deployment procedure for vm4006

Measured, not estimated: the state directory is 878 MB, of which 878 MB
are the nine build worktrees. What cannot be recreated is 84 KB, so the
snapshot before an in-place switch is instant and the rollback is one
sequence of moves.

Records the three expected non-failures — a cold Gradle volume, one
image rebuild, containers left under the old label — and that
`gitea.statusContext` needs no attention because it comes from the
watched repository's committed configuration.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Rename the machine configuration along with its directory

Found by the deployment to vm4006: the move renames the directory and
leaves the file inside it alone, so the machine configuration ended up at
`.git/werkator/.gittally.yml` — a pair of names the lookup did not
expect, because it pairs directory and file name. The instance resolved
empty credentials, no public URL and none of the host's build
definitions, and said nothing about it. That is the exact failure this
change exists to prevent, produced by the change itself.

`StateDirMigration` now renames the configuration with the directory,
unless one under the current name is already there. `ConfigFiles` carries
`.git/werkator/.gittally.yml` as a third candidate as well, for a
directory somebody moved by hand, where the migration never runs and so
can rename nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Let init see a configuration under its previous name

`init --systemd` runs `init`, and its "already exists" check knew only
the current name. On the one repository still carrying `.gittally.yml`
it therefore wrote a fresh template `.werkator.yml` beside it — and
since the current name wins, that repository would have built the
template's `./gradlew test` instead of what its own configuration says.
Found on vm4006, where the file was created in the watched working tree
and removed again by hand.

Both checks now ask `ConfigFiles`, so init decides existence by the same
rule the loader uses to read.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Record the v1.0.0 deployment to vm4006

Deployed from the branch as the final test of PR#1, and it did what a
final test is for: it found two silent-failure defects before the
service was started, both fixed and redeployed in the same window.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Drop the control token left under the old localStorage key

The key is named after the product, so the rename left every browser
with a token under `gittally.controlToken`, which nothing reads any more
and which "forget token" can no longer reach. It is a write-scope token
in a browser store, not a password, but a secret nobody owns is worth
one line to remove.

Removed on load. The token on the server is unchanged, so re-entering it
once per browser is all the rename costs.

mhoennigandClaude 903a87e547 Correct the runtime bundle's glibc rule: the JDK vendor sets the floor
ADR 0006 assumed the bundle inherits the build machine's glibc, which would
have blocked the Hostsharing Managed Webspace (glibc 2.36, dev machine 2.39).
Measuring all 33 ELF files of the produced bundle shows GLIBC_2.15 as the
highest required symbol version: jlink copies Temurin's prebuilt binaries
instead of compiling, so the floor is the JDK vendor's build environment and
the build machine's glibc is irrelevant unless the toolchain resolves to a
distribution-packaged JDK.

mhoennigandClaude c77de1c725 Record the webspace's bwrap and kernel versions, and the glibc consequence
bubblewrap 0.8.0 covers every option the sandbox design uses; only overlayfs is
missing, which the design does not need. The kernel version, however, points at
Debian 12 and thus a glibc older than the dev machine's, which would break the
jlink runtime bundle on that host -- noted as a check to run before deploying.

mhoennigandClaude 3f93882dda Record the passing bwrap precondition check on a Managed Webspace
Plan step 17 hinges on unprivileged user namespaces being usable on a
Hostsharing Managed Webspace. The check ran on h68 and passed with all three
expected signals, so the step is viable there and the sandbox design stands.

mhoennigandClaude cff365767e Plan step 17: run on a dedicated unix user, and cap the unit's resources
Hostsharing recommends assigning domains to separate domain admins rather
than to the package admin, and all their service guides (Mattermost,
Tomcat, Nextcloud) run the daemon as its own user. For GitTally the
argument is stronger: it checks out foreign commits and executes their
build scripts, so running as the package admin would undo the sandbox
rationale of this step. The service user has to be named when ordering
the daemon port anyway.

Also records a trap found on the way: the RAM contingent is a package
slice, not a per-user quota, so a dedicated user buys isolation but no
extra memory — a runaway Gradle build could starve the whole webspace.
The unit from `init --systemd` sets neither MemoryMax nor TasksMax today,
so adding them (configurable, empty = unset) becomes part of step 17.

mhoennigandClaude d5f2784b60 Plan step 17: web access on a Managed Webspace, alongside the sandbox
Keeping both halves in one step: a bubblewrap runtime alone would only
prove that sandboxed builds work somewhere, and web access alone would
mean builds running unsandboxed on the webspace. Neither ships value on
its own, so step 17 now covers the whole deployment.

The web half needs no code: Hostsharing provides Apache plus Let's
Encrypt and documents the reverse proxy to a self-hosted service, so the
managed nginx container of ADR 0005 is not used there. What it needs is
the booked "eigener Serverdienst" option with an assigned localhost port,
a systemd user unit (which `init --systemd` already generates), and a
`.htaccess` with a `[proxy]` RewriteRule — with sources from Hostsharing's
own wiki and feature pages. GitTally fits as is, because it builds
external links from `server.publicBaseUrl` rather than from the request,
so no forward-headers handling is required.

Two points are explicitly marked unverified in the step file: the
effective AllowOverride value and whether an unassigned port would bind.
Also ticks steps 15 and 16 in the plan index — both carry a Result
section and are long done.
