Both runners exist and are up; these are the two defects found while verifying
that.

The desktop's systemd --user unit had Restart=on-failure. That is the same
distinction that took Forgejo down for 27 hours on 2026-07-29 (docker-stack.yml
records it for the db service): a daemon that exits 0 is not "finished
successfully", and on-failure cannot tell that from a clean shutdown. The
failure mode is silent — unit inactive (dead), runner offline in the UI, and
every protected-branch merge blocked on a check nothing will produce.

The StartLimit directives that bound that retry loop were in [Service], where
systemd accepts them without complaint and ignores them; the live unit was
running the 10s default rather than the intended 300s. Moved to [Unit], which
is where they are read.

runner-vps2/README told you to copy config.yaml next to docker-compose.yml, but
the compose file mounts ./data:/data and loads --config /data/config.yaml, so a
config there is invisible to the container — the daemon starts on defaults with
no --add-host, and every registry push then fails as if the credential were
wrong. vps2 had a stray copy at the documented path proving the instruction had
been followed.

Repos moved to the Jinemi org; the container packages did not follow, since
Forgejo does not transfer packages with a repo. The deploy path still resolved
`emi/thermograph/*` — a user_redirect to admin_emi — while build-push.yml
derives its push path from ${github.repository}, now jinemi/thermograph. The
next backend or frontend build would have published somewhere no deploy looks.

Point the image paths at jinemi/thermograph/* (lowercase: OCI references admit
no uppercase, which is why build-push.yml already pipes through tr), the clone
URLs at Jinemi/thermograph, and the registry logins at admin_emi — the account
that actually owns the tokens, rather than the redirect.

The live tags and both ci-runner tags were copied into the Jinemi namespace
first, so the switch has something to pull. thermograph-infra,
thermograph-observability and the retired */app packages stay under admin_emi;
they did not move.

The estate had exactly one registered runner, on the desktop. It went offline
at 2026-07-31 16:31Z; for the next 21 hours no PR could satisfy a required
check, no deploy could run, and the 03:00Z ops-cron -- the only backup for both
application databases and for Forgejo -- did not fire. Forgejo queued that
scheduled run rather than dropping it, so it completed on reconnect and nothing
was lost. A longer outage would have meant real gaps.

Three files claimed an "always-on Swarm-hosted runner" existed and that the
estate therefore no longer depended on the desktop. It did not exist: an early
revision of docker-stack.yml ran one as a Docker-in-Docker sidecar and it was
removed. That claim is why a single point of failure sat unnoticed. Corrected
in docker-stack.yml, forgejo/README.md and register-lan-runner.sh.

The new runner is a plain restart:always container, not a Swarm service: a
Swarm-scheduled runner cannot redeploy the Swarm that schedules it, so CI would
be gone exactly when the cluster is what is broken. It runs from
/opt/forgejo-runner rather than in place, because the checkout is reset on
every prod deploy and one `git clean -fdx` there would destroy the
registration.

vps2 runs prod, so the socket mount is bounded rather than assumed benign:
capacity 1, --cpus=2/--memory=4g on job containers, valid_volumes empty so no
job can bind-mount /etc/thermograph.env, and no thermograph network joined.
This defends against accident, not against a hostile workflow author -- stated
plainly in the compose header rather than implied.

The desktop runner stays registered as extra capacity. Nothing may assume it
is up.
