ci: add an always-on Actions runner on vps2
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.

infra/

Infrastructure for Thermograph: Terraform host provisioning, the SOPS+age secrets vault, WireGuard/Swarm networking, Forgejo, Caddy, mail, and the deploy scripts that run the already-built app images on each host. This is a domain of the emi/thermograph monorepo — a host's checkout (/opt/thermograph, /opt/thermograph-beta, or /opt/thermograph-dev) is a checkout of the whole monorepo, and infra/ never builds app source; it only runs published images.

  • terraform/ — provisions/configures hosts (SSH-driven by default; an optional GCP-creating module is scaffolded, no live resources yet). See terraform/README.md. No tfstate is persisted anywhere — treat apply as executable documentation, not a routine operation.
  • deploy/secrets/ — the git-native SOPS+age secrets vault (every app secret, encrypted at rest, rendered at deploy time). See deploy/secrets/README.md.
  • deploy/swarm/, deploy/forgejo/ — the WireGuard/Swarm mesh spanning vps1, vps2 and the desktop, and Forgejo (git + CI + registry), pinned to vps1. See ACCESS.md.
  • deploy/env-topology.sh — the single source of truth for where each environment (dev/beta/prod) lives: host, checkout path, branch, deploy mode, stack/compose name, env file, LB ports, DB role/database, service-name prefix. Every deploy path sources it and derives its behavior from it rather than guessing from the host it happens to be running on — necessary since vps2 alone now runs two environments.
  • deploy/deploy.sh — the single deploy entry point for dev, beta and prod. Takes SERVICE=backend|frontend|all plus BACKEND_IMAGE_TAG/FRONTEND_IMAGE_TAG (and, on vps2, THERMOGRAPH_ENV=beta|prod to say which of the two checkouts it's acting on), resets the host checkout, renders secrets, and routes to the right orchestrator per env-topology.sh.
  • deploy/deploy-dev.sh — a thin dev-specific wrapper around deploy.sh (dev compose overlay, dev's secrets policy). See DEPLOY-DEV.md.
  • deploy/stack/ — the Swarm path, live on vps2 for both prod and beta: thermograph-stack.yml (prod: db, web, worker, lake, daemon, frontend, autoscaler, autoscaler-lake) and thermograph-beta-stack.yml (beta: the same service shape minus db and the autoscalers, every service name prefixed beta-). deploy-stack.sh, autoscale.sh and lb/ are shared by both. Rolling updates are start-first, health-gated, with auto-rollback. STACK_TEST=1 rehearses the whole stack on throwaway volumes and ports.
  • docker-compose*.yml — the compose path, live only on dev (vps1) (db, backend, lake, daemon, frontend). docker-compose.dev.yml is dev's mesh-only overlay; docker-compose.openmeteo.yml is the self-hosted Open-Meteo overlay (prod only). make dev-up also runs this path locally as a laptop convenience — that is not an "environment", just a local rehearsal.

Which path an environment takes is decided by deploy/env-topology.sh (TG_DEPLOY_MODE, keyed by dev/beta/prod): dev is compose, beta and prod are both stack. The old host-wide marker /etc/thermograph/deploy-mode still exists as a fallback for a by-hand run with no explicit environment, but it cannot describe vps2, which runs two environments in two different checkouts — so it is no longer the thing that decides where files go. The workflows never need to know which mode an environment runs; they only pass THERMOGRAPH_ENV.

Branches & how changes reach each environment

  • dev — deploys to dev on vps1 (/opt/thermograph-dev).
  • main — deploys to beta on vps2 (/opt/thermograph-beta).
  • release — deploys to prod on vps2 (/opt/thermograph).

App code IS environment-staged this way (devmainrelease maps to vps1/dev → vps2/beta → vps2/prod via image tags, one Deploy workflow keyed by branch). Infra itself is not environment-staged the same way: infra-sync.yml fires on a push touching infra/** — on dev it fast-forwards vps1's dev checkout, on main it fast-forwards both of vps2's checkouts (beta and prod) — re-rendering each environment's own env file from the vault. It deliberately does not roll any service: image tags are the app domains' axis, not infra's. A compose or stack change that must recreate containers takes effect on the next app deploy, or a by-hand SERVICE=all … deploy/deploy.sh (or deploy-dev.sh) run.

Note the asymmetry this leaves: dev's infra checkout tracks dev, the same branch its app images are staged by. Beta's and prod's infra checkouts both track main — prod's app images are staged by release, but prod's infra checkout follows main, same as beta's.
