infra-sync: render /etc/centralis.env from the vault
render_centralis_secrets has existed since the OpenBao work and had no caller
on any deploy path -- only verify-centralis-render.sh, a check. A renderer
nothing calls is not a migration, it is a file. /etc/centralis.env has stayed
hand-maintained the whole time, with the vault holding a copy nothing consumed.

That gap is why turning on Google sign-in for Centralis had no safe home: the
only way to set CENTRALIS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID was to hand-edit the live file,
which is precisely what render-secrets.sh's header warns against.

THE GUARD IS THE POINT. On 2026-07-24 this estate lost Centralis' token
registry by writing a file missing a key the live one had. The renderer proves
its own output round-trips through bash, but it cannot know about a key that
exists only in the live file. So this job renders to a scratch path first,
compares KEY SETS (names only, both sides sourced in `env -i` so the
comparison is over what bash actually ends up with), and refuses to write --
failing loudly -- if the live file has anything the vault does not. Rendering
turns from a way to lose a hand-edit into the thing that catches one.

Verified the guard against a live file carrying a hand-added
CENTRALIS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: correctly identified as a key that would be
deleted, write refused. Also verified the empty/unreadable-live-file path,
which needs `|| true` to survive pipefail.

It recreates the container where the other three jobs deliberately roll
nothing, and the difference is real rather than an exception: Centralis'
compose file interpolates /etc/centralis.env at PARSE time, so rendering
without recreating changes nothing -- the silent no-op this estate keeps
getting bitten by. `docker restart` would not do it either. One container, no
replicas, a two-second recreate. It also skips the recreate entirely when the
rendered file is byte-identical to the live one, so a no-op push does not
bounce a healthy container.

thermograph

The Thermograph monorepo — the split repos reunified (2026-07-22) with full history via subtree merges, while keeping everything the split was actually for: per-domain images, per-domain deploys, and an async FE/BE contract.

Domains

Dir What CI
backend/ FastAPI graded-climate API, accounts, notifications (Discord bot, push, mail), data pipeline build-push → image emi/thermograph/backend; deploy
frontend/ Public client: static JS/CSS + SSR pages same build-push / deploy workflows, matrixed by domain; image emi/thermograph/frontend
infra/ Compose (dev, on vps1) + two Swarm stacks co-resident on vps2 (beta, prod), deploy scripts, terraform, SOPS secrets vault, ops cron infra-sync (host checkout + secrets render), secrets-guard, ops-cron
observability/ Loki + Grafana + Alloy stack observability-validate

thermograph-docs deliberately stays its own repo (ADRs + runbooks, no build artifacts, different change cadence).

New here?

docs/onboarding/ is the developer onboarding path: orientation, verified local-setup recipes, a per-domain deep dive, the cross-service contracts that break silently, the release flow, and a list of which docs in this repo are currently stale.

How CI stays decoupled

Every workflow in .forgejo/workflows/ is path-filtered to its domain: a push touching only frontend/** builds/deploys nothing else. Images stay separate (emi/thermograph/backend, emi/thermograph/frontend, each tagged sha-<12hex>), deploys stay per-service (infra/deploy/deploy.sh SERVICE=backend|frontend|all), and the API version contract (GET /api/version, PAYLOAD_VER) still lets FE and BE ship out of lockstep. The one intentionally coupled piece is pr-build.yml: a single always-running gate required check that builds only the domains a PR touches (a path-filtered required check would deadlock auto-merge).

Branch model (unchanged from the split era): PRs → dev, main → beta, release → prod. Infra isn't environment-staged the same way app images are: beta's and prod's checkouts (both on vps2) track main; dev's checkout (on vps1) tracks dev itself, since it's the one environment that isn't a rehearsal for something downstream.
