* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

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

* 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.

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

* 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.

# Step 11: Docker Build Runtime (optional)
Prerequisites: step 04.
Read `README.md` and `00-legacy-analysis.md` first.
This step is optional; skip it until builds actually need container isolation.
## Goal
Run build commands inside a Docker container, as the legacy `--docker` mode did.
## Design
Implement a `DockerBuildRunner` for the `BuildRunner` interface from step 04, shelling out to the `docker` CLI (consistent with the git gateway approach; no Docker Java SDK dependency).
Port from legacy (see analysis, lines ~4400+):
- Ensure image: build from configured Dockerfile/context when missing or stale; track staleness via an image label holding the SHA-256 of Dockerfile + context (legacy `org.werkator.build-inputs-sha256`).
- Gradle cache volume per repository (`werkator-gradle-<repo-key>`), mounted and chowned to the host UID/GID.
- Run the build container: workspace mount, branch env var, configured extra env, network mode, docker socket mount for Testcontainers-based builds.
- Post-build ownership repair of the workspace (legacy `repair_docker_workspace_ownership`).
- Label all containers (`org.hoennig.werkator=true`, repository, role) and clean up stale ones on startup.
Decide during implementation whether the hsadmin-ng-specific legacy options (preflight command, `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS` injection) are needed; default to NOT porting them (see orphaned-config list in the analysis).
## Config
New `branches.<name>.docker` section: `enabled`, `image`, `dockerfile`, `context`, `network`, `env`.
Update `WerkatorConfig`, `InitCommand` templates, and `docs/configuration.md` together.
## Tests
- Unit tests for command assembly (assert the exact `docker run`/`docker build` argv) with a mocked command runner.
- Checksum staleness logic.
- Optional: one Testcontainers-gated integration test that runs a trivial build in a stock image; skip when Docker is unavailable.
## Acceptance Criteria
- `./gradlew ktlintFormat` then `./gradlew build` is green with Docker absent.
- Native execution path (step 04) is unchanged and remains the default.
## Implementation Notes (2026-07-07)
Implemented as designed: `DockerBuildRunner` (in `build/`) implements `BuildRunner` and shells out to the `docker` CLI via the generic `GitCommandRunner` process wrapper.
The runtime is selected per branch by `DispatchingBuildRunner` (`@Primary`), so `BuildExecutor` keeps a single `BuildRunner` dependency and the native `ProcessBuildRunner` stays the default.
No test needs Docker; the main `docker run` argv is asserted exactly through an injectable process launcher, everything else through the mocked command runner.
Ported from legacy:
- Image ensure (`ensure_docker_build_image`): rebuild when the image is missing or the `org.werkator.build-inputs-sha256` label no longer matches; all four `org.werkator.*` labels are set.
Without a configured `dockerfile`, the image is used as-is and pulled by `docker run` on demand.
- Gradle cache volume `werkator-gradle-<repo-key>`, created and chowned to the host uid/gid with the legacy container script.
- Build container: workspace bind mount, `branch` env var, configured extra env, network mode, docker socket mount with `DOCKER_HOST`/`TESTCONTAINERS_*` for Testcontainers-based builds, `--add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway` off host network.
- Ownership repair of `build/` and `.gradle/` (`repair_docker_workspace_ownership`).
- `org.hoennig.werkator` labels (role `build`) and stale-container cleanup.
Deviations and decisions:
- The `BuildRunner` interface gained `repoDir` and `branchConfig` parameters (with defaults), because runner selection and Docker settings are per branch and the per-repo volume/container names need the repository path — a worktree cannot resolve the uncommitted config layer.
- The hsadmin-ng-specific legacy options were not ported, as the step suggests: no preflight command, no `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS` injection, no `.testcontainers.properties` generation, no `HSADMINNG_*` env passthrough — `TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE`/`TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE`/`DOCKER_HOST` cover modern Testcontainers; anything else fits `docker.env`.
- Ownership repair runs inside the same build container (wrapped around the command, preserving its exit code) instead of a follow-up root container; the separate `prepare_docker_workspace_build_dir` step became unnecessary because the clean command already runs in the container.
- Container names are per branch (`werkator-build-<repo-key>-<branch-key>`), not per repository, because builds of different branches may run concurrently.
- Containers run with `--init`, so termination signals from build cancellation reach the build process inside the container.
- Stale labelled containers are removed before the first Docker build of the process, not at daemon startup, so installations that never build in Docker never invoke docker.
- The Gradle volume is prepared once per process and image, not before every build.
- A missing unix socket skips the socket mount instead of failing the build (legacy errored); a tcp:// `DOCKER_HOST` also skips it.
- `docker.network` defaults to Docker's default network, not to `host` like legacy (host mode was an hsadmin-ng-ism); `network: host` switches the Testcontainers host override to `localhost` exactly like legacy.
- Image-input checksums are computed in-process (`DockerImageInputs`), not via `sha256sum`, with the same input format as legacy.
Manual smoke test (2026-07-07, scratch repo, Rancher Desktop 27.3.1):
- A scratch repo with `docker.enabled`, a two-line Dockerfile, and a build command writing `id -u` into `build/who.txt`: `werkator build` built the image with all four labels, created the `werkator-gradle-<repo-key>` volume, streamed the container output live, and exited 0 (`success after 0:14`).
- A second run reused the image (inputs label matched, no rebuild; `success after 0:04`).
- The command ran as uid 0 inside the container while `build/who.txt` ended up owned by the host user — the in-container ownership repair works.
- No labelled containers were left behind after the builds.
- Caveat found while testing (environmental, not Werkator): with a VM-based Docker (Rancher Desktop/Lima), workspace bind mounts only work for paths shared into the VM (e.g. `$HOME`); a repo under an unshared `/tmp` builds against an empty VM-side directory.
