IPCR Forge v2: Radicle-only with rad-actions

Snapshot of the Radicle-only forge (cib + act, DinD staging registry)

IMPORT_PUBLISHER mode, multi-segment IPNS paths and IPCR 1.2.0.

 ## Why it is necessary
 
-**1. The network link.** IPCR publishes images by *pulling* them from Gitea's registry: it

+see Apps/Gitea/rationale.md, where it was tried first).
-`http://gitea:3000` over `gitea-internal` instead: no round trip through Caddy, and it keeps
-working on a box with no public address. Gitea's registry hands out its bearer tokens at the
-address the request came in on (`http://gitea:3000/v2/token`), so authentication stays
-internal too.
 
-**2. The credential.** Gitea's registry requires sign-in (`REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW`), so IPCR

-**3. The landing page.** It holds no data that isn't public already: links to Radicle (public

 ## Alternatives considered and rejected
 
 | Alternative | Why not |
 | --- | --- |
-| Gitea pushes to IPCR (webhook, or a workflow step) | A workflow step cannot reach `ipcr.localhost`. A webhook would give IPCR a write endpoint on a shared network; a pull needs no inbound access at all. |
+| Keep Gitea, fed by a bridge (previous version) | Two sources of state (a second copy of each repository, with its own PRs and registry) and a glue service to keep them in step. |
-| Gateway pulls over the public `gitea-<domain>` address, as standalone | Works, but routes a same-box fetch out through Caddy and back, and fails on a box with no public address. |
+| Gitea as a strict read-only mirror | Still a second git server and a sync to babysit, for one thing it adds: a web view of builds, which `cib`'s pages now provide. |
-| An admin-password credential for IPCR | Simpler, but gives the gateway full control of Gitea for a job that only reads packages. |
+| Gitea's `act_runner` in `exec` mode | Same engine as `act` (a fork), but built for Gitea; nektos `act` is what people run on their laptops. |
-| `IMPORT_AUTH` as an environment variable | An install step cannot set one, so it would be a manual step after every install. |
+| `cib`'s native adapter, or Ambient | Neither runs GitHub-style workflows; Ambient needs KVM. |
-| Renaming everything so the bundle can sit beside the four apps | Breaks the defaults and the documented addresses (see 4). |
+| `ipcrd` accepting pushes itself | A push endpoint would be a second registry implementation. The staging registry plus IPCR's existing import is byte-identical to `nerdctl push` and needed no change. |
-| No landing page, Radicle explorer as the tile | Leaves newcomers without the pipeline explained or the IPNS name to pull, which IPCR mints and nobody can guess. |
+| Host Docker socket for jobs | Any workflow would get root on the host. |
+| Run patches from anyone | Their build could publish under the repository's IPNS name. Needs a separate daemon with no registry first. |
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **No job COB for tag builds.** cib 0.32.1 keys a job by the event's tip, which for an annotated
+  tag is the tag object rather than a commit, and creating that job fails (silently; the log only
+  shows `NoJob` when the run finishes). Branch and patch builds get their job COB. Tag builds still
+  appear in `/ci/` with their log. Upstream fix: peel the tag before creating the job.
+- **Tags arrive as pushes.** cib sends a tag event as `event_type: push` with the tag's name in
+  `branch`. The adapter tells them apart by looking for that name under `refs/tags/` in storage.
+- **`HasFile` matches files only**, not folders, so cib cannot pre-filter on a workflow folder; the
+  adapter answers "no workflow" itself.

+# IPCR Forge — design notes
+
+How the forge in [Apps/IPCR-Forge/](../Apps/IPCR-Forge/) goes from `git push` to `docker pull`, why it
+is shaped this way, and what was learned building it (2026-10-04). The listing's own security
+argument is in [rationale.md](../Apps/IPCR-Forge/rationale.md).
+
+## Goal
+
+A decentralised forge that works out of the box: **Radicle is the single source of truth**, builds
+use GitHub-style workflows (the developer comfort worth keeping), and images are served from IPFS
+through IPCR. Nothing in the chain is a second copy that can drift from Radicle.
+
+## Why Gitea was removed
+
+The first version built with Gitea Actions. A bridge service copied every Radicle repository into
+Gitea, Gitea's runner built it, and IPCR imported from Gitea's registry. It worked end to end, but:
+
+- **Two places where state could originate.** Gitea held a full copy of each repository, with its
+  own PRs, issues and registry. A copy that is only ever *derived* is a cache; one where things can
+  also *start* will desync.
+- **A glue service** (the bridge) to keep the two in step, plus its credentials: an admin account,
+  two minted tokens, and a capability (`DAC_READ_SEARCH`) IPCR needed only to read one of them.
+- What Gitea actually contributed was narrow: running Actions YAML, a web view of runs, and a
+  staging registry. None of those needs a forge.
+
+## Architecture
+

+                                 jobs run on its host network → localhost:5000 =
+                              rad-actions-registry (registry:3, shares dind's network namespace)
+                                          ▲ polled every minute over ci-internal
+                              ipcr-gateway (ipcrd): import → IPFS → publish under IPNS
+   │
+   ▼
+anyone: docker pull ipcr.localhost:4767/ipns/metadec.eth/<repo>:1.2.3
+```
+
+- **No mirror.** The build reads the commit where it lives. Results go back into the repository as
+  job COBs (`xyz.radworks.job`) signed by the node (see limitations: not for tags yet).
+- **CI pages.** `cib` writes static HTML reports; the adapter writes one plain-text log per run. The
+  landing page serves both at `ipcr-forge-<domain>/ci/`.
+- **Handoff to IPFS is a pull.** Jobs cannot reach `ipcr.localhost` (the host's loopback), so they
+  push to the staging registry and `ipcrd` imports from it. `ipcrd` needed no change for this.
+
+## Trust model
+
+- `cib` runs CI only for changes from a **delegate** of the repository (`!AnyDelegate`): release
+  tags, the default branch and patches. A build can publish an image under the forge's IPNS name,
+  so a build gets the trust of a release. Patches from non-delegates are never run.
+- The node's key (which signs job COBs) never enters a job: jobs get a self-contained checkout.
+- The adapter refuses private repositories, because run logs are public.
+- To run outsiders' patches safely, they would need a separate daemon with no route to the staging
+  registry. Not built.
+
+## Workflow contract
+
+A repository opts in by committing a workflow under `.github/workflows/` (`.gitea/` and
+`.forgejo/` are also read). The template on the landing page:
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  push:
+    tags: ['v*']
+jobs:
+  image:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: docker/metadata-action@v5
+        id: meta
+        with:
+          images: ${{ vars.IMAGE }}
+          tags: |
+            type=semver,pattern={{version}}
+            type=raw,value=latest
+      - uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
+        with:
+          driver-opts: network=host
+      - uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
+        with:
+          context: .
+          push: true
+          tags: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
+          labels: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.labels }}
+```
+
+- `vars.IMAGE` = `localhost:5000/<repository name>`; `vars.REGISTRY` = `localhost:5000`. No secret.
+- Two lines differ from a GitHub-hosted workflow: `context: .` and `driver-opts: network=host`
+  (both explained below).
+- `github.repository` is `rad/<name>`; `RADICLE_RID` is set as an env var and a var.
+
+## Findings
+
+Each of these silently produced the wrong result rather than an error.
+
+### act
+
+1. **act does not apply `on:` branch/tag filters.** A workflow with `on: push: tags: ['v*']` ran for
+   a push to `main`. GitHub and Gitea filter server-side; the adapter does it here
+   ([filter.go](../ci/adapter/filter.go), GitHub's pattern syntax, tested).
+2. **Without a git remote, `github.repository` is `nektos/act`;** with a non-GitHub remote it is the
+   whole URL. The adapter passes `--env GITHUB_REPOSITORY=rad/<name>`.
+3. **`actions/checkout` is skipped** by act, which copies the working directory into the job. So the
+   checkout must be a self-contained repository. A `git clone --shared` of storage left a `.git`
+   whose alternates pointed outside the job (`unable to normalize alternate object path`). The
+   adapter now fetches the one commit, depth 1, with `uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant` on the serving
+   side — what `actions/checkout` does by default.
+4. **Jobs run on the daemon's host network** (`--network host`, act's default). That is what makes
+   `localhost:5000` reach the staging registry. It is also why compose service names do not
+   resolve inside jobs (`getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND rad-actions`): the adapter advertises its own IP
+   address instead.
+
+### GitHub-isms in common actions
+
+5. **`docker/metadata-action` calls the GitHub REST API** (`GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}`) and fails
+   with `Bad credentials` without it. The adapter serves that one call for the length of a run, from
+   what the node knows, and sets `GITHUB_API_URL` to it ([api.go](../ci/adapter/api.go)). `html_url`
+   is the Radicle explorer page, so the image's `org.opencontainers.image.source` label points there.
+6. **`docker/build-push-action` defaults to a Git context** (`https://github.com/<repo>.git#<ref>`),
+   which does not exist here. Hence `context: .`.
+7. **buildx's builder container** does not share the job's network; `driver-opts: network=host`
+   puts it on the daemon's, where `localhost:5000` is the registry. Docker and BuildKit accept
+   plain HTTP for `localhost` only, which is why the registry shares the daemon's namespace.
+
+### radicle-ci-broker (cib) 0.32.1
+
+8. **Tags arrive as pushes.** A tag event reaches the adapter as `event_type: "push"` with the tag's
+   name in `branch` (src/msg.rs), so the first tag build ran as if `v1.1.1` were a branch. The
+   adapter looks the name up in storage (`refs/namespaces/*/refs/tags/<name>`).
+9. **`!HasFile` matches files only,** never directories (it checks `into_blob()`), despite its doc
+   comment. A filter on `.github/workflows` therefore never matched and nothing ran. It was dropped;
+   the adapter answers "no workflow" in about a second.
+10. **No job COB for tag builds.** The job is keyed by the event's tip, which for an annotated tag is
+    the tag object; creating it fails silently and the run ends with `NoJob`. Branch builds get their
+    COB. Upstream fix: peel the tag before creating the job.
+11. **Default log level is trace:** every gossip message the node sees. The image runs
+    `--log-level info`.
+12. **cib must not start before the node's control socket exists.** It restart-loops a few times on
+    first install, then settles (`restart: unless-stopped`).
+
+### Radicle
+
+13. **The node only reacts to what it receives** from other nodes: pushes come from the developer's
+    own node. The forge node still needs `rad seed <rid> --scope all` per repository (seeding policy
+    `block`).
+14. **Commit and tag signing need an ssh-agent** holding the Radicle key.
+
+## Verified (wisera, 2026-10-04)
+
+`ipcr-hello` (`rad:zc9XLrmUrt2xSgTLcEYfKN8eZuxS`), tag `v1.1.2` pushed from a delegate's node:
+
+| Step | Time |
+| --- | --- |
+| tag pushed | 12:54:21 |
+| build finished (first run on the box: act's image pulled cold) | 13:01:06 |
+| imported into IPFS and published under IPNS | ~13:02:30 |
+| pulled on wisera, and on holyhorse (26 s) | after |
+
+Later, with `metadec.eth` pointing at the forge's publisher name (see [naming.md](naming.md)),
+`ipcr.localhost:4767/ipns/metadec.eth/ipcr-hello:1.1.2` resolved and pulled on wisera.
+
+## Open items
+
+- **Publish the images.** `ghcr.io/yundera/rad-actions` (workflow `rad-actions.yml`, tag
+  `rad-actions-v*`) and `ghcr.io/yundera/ipcr:1.2.0` are so far built locally only.
+- **Job COBs for tags** (finding 10): an upstream patch to cib.
+- **Patches from non-delegates:** a second, registry-less daemon.
+- **Warm cache.** The first build pulls `catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest` (~1.5 GB) and clones the
+  actions it uses; later builds reuse both (`ci/docker`, `ci/cache`).
+- **Path filters** (`on.push.paths`) are not applied: a workflow with only `paths:` runs on every
+  matching event.
+- **Store install.** Tested as a hand install that mimics Maison (compose, `.env`, `.seed/`), not yet
+  through the store.
