act_runner v0.6 host-mode hits a 'permission denied' error on
.git/objects/pack/*.idx when running two checkout steps in the same
job. Drop down to a plain git clone of engram-lang and pin EL_HOME
outside the workspace.
The auto-issued GITHUB_TOKEN is scoped to the current repo only, so
cross-repo actions/checkout needs an explicit token. CHECKOUT_TOKEN
holds an admin-scoped Gitea API token; long-term we should switch to
a dedicated read-only PAT.
Push to main triggers build-stage.sh, push to Artifact Registry,
parallel deploy to all 3 marketing prod regions, traffic flip,
verify. Auth via Workload Identity Federation against the
Gitea OIDC provider — no long-lived keys on the runner.
Falls back to GCP_SA_KEY repo secret if WIF doesn't work end
to end against this Gitea instance.
