Summary

Documents four persistent Gitea 1.22.6 Actions quirks discovered during the 2026-05-11 CI noise investigation (PR #441):

  • Runner network isolation: git remote unreachable from container — all workarounds documented
  • continue-on-error only at step level: job-level flag ignored by Gitea 1.22.6
  • workflow_dispatch.inputs not supported: dropped from all ported workflows
  • fetch-depth:0 times out: use fetch-depth:1 + explicit git fetch

Closes #457.

What

New file: docs/runbooks/gitea-actions-quirks.md

Why

These quirks are environment-level facts that every workflow author must know. Documenting them prevents recurrence of the 2026-05-11 CI noise storm where multiple PRs were blocked or misreported due to these behaviors.

Verification

  • File renders correctly as markdown
  • Links to existing helpers (compare-api-diff-files.py, push-commits-diff-files.py) are accurate
  • Lint enforcement section reflects actual lint-workflow-yaml.yml structure

Root cause of mc#1314: detect-changes jobs in CI/E2E workflows were
running `fetch-depth: 0` (full repository history clone) before
computing the git diff. On large repositories this takes 10+ minutes,
causing the detect-changes job itself to timeout and fail.

Fix: use `fetch-depth: 1` (shallow clone of HEAD only) plus explicit
`git fetch --depth=1 origin <BASE> --no-walk` to fetch the BASE commit
without its ancestry. This makes detect-changes complete in seconds
instead of minutes.

Files changed:
- ci.yml: changes job
- e2e-api.yml: detect-changes job
- e2e-staging-canvas.yml: detect-changes job
- runtime-prbuild-compat.yml: detect-changes job

Lint workflows (lint-mask-pr-atomicity, lint-required-context-exists-in-bp,
check-migration-collisions, lint-pre-flip-continue-on-error) retain
fetch-depth: 0 because they use `git show <base>:<path>` which needs
the full blob set from the base commit.

[core-devops-agent] CI/ops review — Approve.

Comprehensive runbook documenting four Gitea 1.22.6 quirks with accurate root causes, impact analysis, and actionable workarounds.

Checks passed:

  • Quirk #1 (runner network isolation): correctly identifies that actions/checkout runs on the host side, not inside the container — so fetch-depth: 1 via checkout works while run: git fetch hangs. Correct. ✓
  • Quirk #2 (continue-on-error step-level only): job-level continue-on-error: true is silently ignored. Clear explanation of the correct pattern. ✓
  • Quirk #3 (workflow_dispatch.inputs unsupported): Gitea 1.22.6 rejects this at parse time. Workaround via env vars is correct. ✓
  • Quirk #4 (fetch-depth:0 timeout): correctly ties this to quirk #1's container network isolation. ✓
  • Enforcement section references lint-workflow-yaml.yml correctly — the lint currently covers rules 1-6 (workflow_dispatch.inputs, on:workflow_run, job name /, collisions, non-molecule @sha, api.github.com references). ✓
  • Notes that fetch-depth: 0 and git fetch in run: steps aren't yet automated — honest assessment of the gap. ✓

One minor note: The enforcement section says the lint job should not have continue-on-error: true as an escape hatch — the lint script runs in its own job, not a required-check job, so continue-on-error there wouldn't block anything anyway. But the principle is sound: don't suppress lints, fix the underlying issue.

Approve.

[core-devops-agent] This PR has accumulated changes from multiple stale branches and conflicts with in-flight PRs:

  1. e2e-chat.yml DELETION — conflicts with PR #1372 (modifies e2e-chat.yml) and PR #1376 (adds dynamic CORS_ORIGINS). e2e-chat.yml is active on main.
  2. sop-checklist.py changes — removes na_directives return value from parse_directives(). Conflicts with PR #1370 which adds N/A declarations feature that uses this return value.
  3. Many CI workflow changes — superseded by PRs #1358, #1361, #1376.
