Summary

  • publish-workspace-server-image.yml could not run on Gitea Actions because Dockerfile.tenant stage 3 ran git clone against private Gitea repos from inside the Docker build context — no auth path. Every workspace-server rebuild required a manual operator-host push (today's all-day pain).
  • Option B from the brief: move cloning to the trusted CI context (where AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN = devops-engineer persona PAT is naturally available). Dockerfile.tenant now COPYs from .tenant-bundle-deps/, populated by the new "Pre-clone manifest deps" step. The Gitea token never enters the image.

Files changed

  • .github/workflows/publish-workspace-server-image.yml — new "Pre-clone manifest deps" step before docker buildx build. Fail-fast if AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN is empty.
  • scripts/clone-manifest.sh — optional MOLECULE_GITEA_TOKEN env embeds basic-auth (oauth2:<token>) in the clone URL; redacted in log output. Anonymous fallback preserved.
  • workspace-server/Dockerfile.tenant — drop stage 3 (templates clone), COPY from .tenant-bundle-deps/ instead. Header documents the prereq + the manual operator-host build path.
  • .gitignore — ignore /.tenant-bundle-deps/ so a local build can't accidentally commit cloned repos.

Local verification

Ran MOLECULE_GITEA_TOKEN=<persona-PAT> bash scripts/clone-manifest.sh manifest.json /tmp/.../ws /tmp/.../org /tmp/.../plugins:

==> Done. 37/37 repos cloned successfully.
ws=9 org=7 plugins=21
4.9M total after .git strip

Display URLs correctly redacted to oauth2:***.

Hostile self-review (3 weakest spots)

  1. AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN semantic overload — same persona PAT is used for both auto-sync push and manifest clone. If someone scopes it down further later, this workflow silently breaks. Mitigation: workflow comment now documents the dependency.
  2. Per-run cache miss — clone runs every CI invocation (~30s for 37 repos at depth=1, 4.9MB). Acceptable cost since manifest entries pin to main HEAD; could add actions/cache keyed on manifest.json hash later if it matters.
  3. Local-dev path silently broken without token — anyone running docker buildx build -f Dockerfile.tenant locally without first pre-cloning gets a COPY failure. Mitigation: Dockerfile header documents the prereq.

Test plan

  • Workflow run against this PR (or follow-up post-merge no-op commit) builds :staging-<sha> + :staging-latest to ECR without manual operator intervention
  • New ECR digest published automatically; image size ~200-250MB (matches bundled shape)
  • Confirm next workspace-server change can ship via push-to-main alone, no manual docker push from operator host

Closes #173.

publish-workspace-server-image.yml could not run on Gitea Actions because
Dockerfile.tenant's stage 3 ran `git clone` against private Gitea repos
from inside the Docker build context, where no auth path exists. Every
workspace-server rebuild required a manual operator-host push.

Move cloning to the trusted CI context (where AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN — the
devops-engineer persona PAT — is naturally available). Dockerfile.tenant
now COPYs from .tenant-bundle-deps/, populated by the workflow's new
"Pre-clone manifest deps" step. The Gitea token never enters the image.

- scripts/clone-manifest.sh: optional MOLECULE_GITEA_TOKEN env embeds
  basic-auth in the clone URL; redacted in log output. Anonymous fallback
  preserved for future public-repo path.
- .github/workflows/publish-workspace-server-image.yml: new pre-clone
  step before docker build; injects AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN. Fail-fast if the
  secret is empty.
- workspace-server/Dockerfile.tenant: drop stage 3 (templates), COPY
  from .tenant-bundle-deps/ instead. Header documents the prereq.
- .gitignore: ignore /.tenant-bundle-deps/ so a local build can't
  accidentally commit cloned repos.

Verified locally: clone-manifest.sh with the devops-engineer persona
token cloned all 37 repos (9 ws + 7 org + 21 plugins, 4.9MB after
.git strip).

LGTM — Option B as recommended; locally verified clone-manifest.sh against persona token (37/37 repos, 4.9MB).
