# gates — re-run this repo's gate entry point on every push, on a machine that does not care who # pushed or what they typed. # # *** THIS REPORTS. IT CANNOT REFUSE. *** # # felhom repos push straight to `main` with no pull request, so there is no merge for a status # check to stand at. The refusing half is `.githooks/pre-push`, which is local to a clone and which # `git push --no-verify` skips; this half is what notices when that happened. Neither half is the # whole thing, and both are named in felhom.eu documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md R-168. # # NO `uses:` STEP ANYWHERE, deliberately: JavaScript actions need a node runtime in the runner, and # the runner is a host-mode container with python3 and git and nothing else (see # homelab-manifests/gitea-system/act-runner.yaml for why it is not privileged). Probe P3 measured # that a plain `git fetch` of the pushed SHA from the in-cluster Gitea service is enough. # # A failing run must reach a person — a detector nobody hears is the defect R-29 filed, rebuilt one # layer up.
