Jon Chery 1c2843a39d docs(P00): research findings — v0.16 release binary asset fix
Validated root cause against CoreCI source code:
- .coreci.yml uses invalid format (pipelines:/steps:/image:/commands:)
  → CoreCI silently drops unknown fields → empty Jobs map → zero jobs
- Gitea Actions clone of private coreci repo has no credentials
- CoreCI executor chain, env forwarding, secret resolution all
  validated against source (run.go, isolated_shell.go, pass_through.go,
  github.go, pipeline.go)

Jon Chery 82dfe7a941 docs(P00): clarify — v0.16 release binary asset fix decisions
7 decisions (D-269..D-275) validated against CoreCI source code:
- D-270: .coreci.yml uses invalid format (pipelines:/steps:/image:/
  commands:) — CoreCI silently drops unknown fields → empty Jobs map
- D-272: CI_COMMIT_BRANCH contains tag name on tag pushes (CoreCI
  github.go maps GITHUB_REF_NAME → CI_COMMIT_BRANCH)
- D-273: handle duplicate release (ship workflow creates release
  first; coreci run attaches assets later via API fallback)
- D-274: shell-friendly jobs (runner is ubuntu, not alpine — no apk)

Jon Chery 699196f368 docs(init): validate specification — v0.16 release binary asset fix
Establish milestone v0.16 to fix the root cause of releases shipping
with zero binary assets. v0.15 added a Gitea Actions workflow but it
never executed successfully due to two compounding bugs (documented in
REQUIREMENTS.md REQ-183, REQ-184). All 87 releases in the repo's
history have zero binary assets — this has never worked.

# CLARIFY v0.16: Release Binary Asset Fix
## Decisions
| ID | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
|----|----------|-----------|------------|
| D-269 | Auth the coreci clone via URL embedding | The `actions/checkout@v4` step injects auth only for the orca repo. The bare `git clone https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git` has no credentials and fails with `fatal: could not read Username`. Embedding `https://cloudinit-bot:${GITEA_TOKEN}@git.cloudinit.dev/...` in the clone URL is the simplest fix — no git credential helper config needed. | 0.95 |
| D-270 | Rewrite .coreci.yml to CoreCI native `jobs:` format | CoreCI's `Pipeline` struct (`workflows/pipeline/pipeline.go`) only has `Jobs`/`Services`/`Env` fields. The orca `.coreci.yml` uses `pipelines:`/`steps:`/`image:`/`commands:` which are silently dropped by `yaml.Unmarshal` → empty `Jobs` map → zero jobs execute. `validate()` does not reject empty jobs. | 0.97 (validated against CoreCI source) |
| D-271 | No tag-conditional rules in .coreci.yml | The Gitea Actions workflow already gates on `on: push: tags: ['v*']`. Every `coreci run` invocation is already a release run. CoreCI's `cicontext/github.go` doesn't even set `CI_COMMIT_TAG` for Gitea Actions (it maps `GITHUB_REF_NAME``CI_COMMIT_BRANCH`). | 0.90 |
| D-272 | Use `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` for tag name | On a tag push, Gitea Actions sets `GITHUB_REF_NAME=v0.15.1`. CoreCI's `github.go` maps this to `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH`. So `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` contains the tag name on tag pushes. This is the env var to use for version injection in `invoke:` scripts. | 0.90 |
| D-273 | Handle duplicate release gracefully | The CIAgent ship workflow creates releases (title+body, no binary) via the Gitea API. The `coreci run` release job runs later (after the Gitea Actions workflow triggers). `tea releases create` fails if the release exists. Fallback: query the release ID by tag and attach assets via the Gitea API `POST /releases/{id}/assets` endpoint. | 0.92 |
| D-274 | Shell-friendly jobs (no `apk add`) | The Gitea Actions runner runs the `ci` job inside `docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest` (ubuntu, not alpine). CoreCI's shell-isolated executor (the likely fallback if podman/docker aren't in the runner container) runs `sh -c <invoke>` directly. `apk add` won't work on ubuntu. Use `curl` (pre-installed) for tool downloads. | 0.85 |
| D-275 | `GITEA_TOKEN` via PassThroughEnv | CoreCI's `PassThroughEnv()` forwards env vars not in the deny-list. `GITEA_TOKEN` is not in `systemVars` or `predefinedCIVars`, so it IS forwarded when `IsRunningInCI()` is true (Gitea Actions sets `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`). The Gitea Actions workflow sets `GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}` in the `coreci run` step env. So `GITEA_TOKEN` is available in job `invoke:` scripts. Belt-and-suspenders: also declare `vars: { GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }} }` so CoreCI's secret resolver picks it up via `os.Getenv` fallback. | 0.88 |
## Research: CoreCI .coreci.yml format (validated against source)
CoreCI's `Pipeline` struct (`workflows/pipeline/pipeline.go`):
```go
type Pipeline struct {
Jobs map[string]Job `yaml:"jobs"`
Services map[string]Service `yaml:"services,omitempty"`
Env EnvBlock `yaml:"env,omitempty"`
}
type Job struct {
Needs []string `yaml:"needs,omitempty"`
Plugin string `yaml:"plugin,omitempty"`
Invoke string `yaml:"invoke,omitempty"`
Vars map[string]string `yaml:"vars,omitempty"`
MemoryLimitMb int `yaml:"memory_limit_mb,omitempty"`
TimeoutMs int `yaml:"timeout_ms,omitempty"`
Rules []Rule `yaml:"rules,omitempty"`
Tags []string `yaml:"tags,omitempty"`
}
```
Key facts (from `docs/CORECI-YML.md` + source):
- `plugin` and `invoke` are mutually exclusive on the same job — BUT the
isolated_shell executor checks `invoke` first (line 52) and only falls
back to `plugin` if `invoke` is empty. So a job with BOTH `plugin:
docker://golang:1.25` AND `invoke: "go build ..."` works: container
executors run the invoke inside the container; shell-isolated runs
the invoke directly (ignoring the image). This is the correct pattern.
- Unknown YAML fields are silently dropped (no strict decode). This is
why the current `pipelines:`/`steps:`/`image:`/`commands:` format
produces an empty `Jobs` map with no error.
- `validate()` does NOT reject empty `Jobs` maps — it only checks for
duplicate names and plugin/invoke mutual exclusivity within existing
jobs.
- Secret interpolation `${{ secrets.KEY }}` works only in job `vars:`
values. The resolver (run.go:146-153) checks the local secret store
first, then falls back to `os.Getenv(key)`.
- Shell `${VAR}` expansion works inside `invoke:` strings at runtime
(via `sh -c`), but NOT in YAML field values at parse time.
- `env.from_ci` controls which CI vars are injected; if empty, all
detected CI vars are merged.
## Research: Gitea Actions runner environment
The `ci` job (no `container:` field) runs inside
`docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest`. The `Set up Go` step
installs Go 1.25. CoreCI's executor chain is `podman,docker,shell-isolated`.
If podman/docker aren't in the runner container, jobs fall back to
`shell-isolated` which runs `sh -c <invoke>` directly. Go commands work
in shell-isolated mode (Go is on PATH). Tool installation via `go install`
works (needs Go + network). `gitleaks` binary download via `curl` works.
## Research: Gitea Actions CI context (CoreCI detection)
CoreCI's `cicontext/github.go`:
```go
func isGitHub() bool { return os.Getenv("GITHUB_ACTIONS") == "true" }
func normalizeGitHub() map[string]string {
return map[string]string{
"CI": "true",
"CI_COMMIT_SHA": envOrDefault("GITHUB_SHA", ""),
"CI_COMMIT_BRANCH": envOrDefault("GITHUB_REF_NAME", ""),
// ... (no CI_COMMIT_TAG)
}
}
```
On a tag push: `GITHUB_REF_NAME=v0.15.1``CI_COMMIT_BRANCH=v0.15.1`.
`CI_COMMIT_TAG` is NOT set — CoreCI doesn't populate it for Gitea Actions.
## Plan
### Phase 1 (only execution phase)
**Files to modify:**
1. `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` — move `GITEA_TOKEN` env to the
"Install CoreCI" step and embed it in the clone URL:
```yaml
- name: Install CoreCI
env:
GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}
run: |
git clone --depth=1 https://cloudinit-bot:${GITEA_TOKEN}@git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git /tmp/coreci
cd /tmp/coreci
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -tags sqlite_go,embed -o /usr/local/bin/coreci ./cmd/coreci
coreci version
```
2. `.coreci.yml` — full rewrite to CoreCI native `jobs:` format:
- DAG: `go-vet` → fan-out to `verify-reqs`, `gosec`, `govulncheck`,
`gitleaks` → `build` → `test` → `release`
- Each job: `plugin: docker://golang:1.25.12` + `invoke: |` (multi-line)
- `build` job: version injection via `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` (tag) +
`CI_COMMIT_SHA` + `date` for build time
- `release` job: build tarball + SHA256SUMS, install `tea` via curl,
create release with assets (fallback to API asset attachment if
release exists), verify asset count ≥ 2 (REQ-097 gate C-21)
- `GITEA_TOKEN` via `vars: { GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }} }`
- No tag-conditional rules (workflow already gates on tags)
3. `scripts/trigger_coreci.sh` — no changes needed (Gitea Actions is the
trigger; the hook is for branch-push CI only).

# PLAN v0.16: Release Binary Asset Fix
## Milestone Summary
**Milestone**: v0.16 (fix type — tags on v0.15.x patch line)
**Phases**: P0 (pre-execution) → P1 (fix) → P2 (final review+ship)
**Requirements**: REQ-183 (clone auth), REQ-184 (.coreci.yml rewrite)
## Phase 1: Fix Gitea Actions clone auth + rewrite .coreci.yml
### Wave 1: Both fixes (single wave — they are independent files)
**Task 1.1 (REQ-183): Fix `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` — auth the coreci clone**
File: `.gitea/workflows/release.yml`
Current failing step:
```yaml
- name: Install CoreCI
run: |
git clone --depth=1 https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git /tmp/coreci
cd /tmp/coreci
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -tags sqlite_go,embed -o /usr/local/bin/coreci ./cmd/coreci
coreci version
```
Fix: add `GITEA_TOKEN` env and embed in clone URL:
```yaml
- name: Install CoreCI
env:
GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}
run: |
git clone --depth=1 https://cloudinit-bot:${GITEA_TOKEN}@git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git /tmp/coreci
cd /tmp/coreci
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -tags sqlite_go,embed -o /usr/local/bin/coreci ./cmd/coreci
coreci version
```
**Task 1.2 (REQ-184): Rewrite `.coreci.yml` to CoreCI native `jobs:` format**
File: `.coreci.yml`
Convert from `pipelines:`/`steps:`/`image:`/`commands:` to `jobs:`/`plugin:`/`invoke:`/`vars:` with a DAG.
DAG structure:
```
go-vet ──→ verify-reqs ──┐
├──→ gosec ────────┤
├──→ govulncheck ──┤──→ build ──→ test ──→ release
└──→ gitleaks ─────┘
```
Key adaptations:
- `plugin: docker://golang:1.25.12` on each job (container if available, shell-isolated fallback)
- `invoke: |` for multi-line commands (shell expansion works via `sh -c`)
- `GITEA_TOKEN` via `vars: { GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }} }` (resolved from env)
- `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` (tag name on tag push) and `CI_COMMIT_SHA` for version injection
- No tag-conditional rules (workflow gates on `on: push: tags: ['v*']`)
- `release` job: build tarball + SHA256SUMS, install tea via curl, create release
with assets (fallback to Gitea API asset attachment if release exists),
verify asset count ≥ 2 (REQ-097 gate C-21)
- No `apk add` (runner is ubuntu, not alpine)
### Must-haves (verification gates)
- [ ] `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` "Install CoreCI" step has `GITEA_TOKEN` env and token in clone URL
- [ ] `.coreci.yml` uses `jobs:` top-level key (not `pipelines:`)
- [ ] Each job has `plugin:` and/or `invoke:` (mutually exclusive rule)
- [ ] DAG via `needs:` (validate → build → test → release)
- [ ] `GITEA_TOKEN` passed via job `vars:` with `${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }}`
- [ ] Release job handles duplicate release (fallback to API asset attachment)
- [ ] Release job verifies asset count ≥ 2 (REQ-097)
- [ ] No `apk add` commands (ubuntu runner, not alpine)
- [ ] No `${VAR}` interpolation in YAML fields (only in `invoke:` via sh -c)
- [ ] `make verify-reqs` passes (ROADMAP ↔ REQUIREMENTS consistency)
### Verification
1. `make verify-reqs` — ROADMAP/REQUIREMENTS consistency
2. `go vet ./...` — no vet errors
3. `gofmt -l .` — no formatting issues
4. YAML validity check for `.coreci.yml` and `.gitea/workflows/release.yml`
5. Confirm `.coreci.yml` has `jobs:` key and at least 5 jobs (go-vet, verify-reqs, gosec, govulncheck, gitleaks, build, test, release)
6. Confirm `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` "Install CoreCI" step references `GITEA_TOKEN`

## Milestone v0.16: Release Binary Asset Fix
**Scope**: fix the root cause of releases shipping with zero binary
assets. v0.15 added a Gitea Actions workflow but it never executed
successfully due to two compounding bugs: (1) the `git clone` of the
private `coreci` repo in the workflow had no credentials, causing the
"Install CoreCI" step to fail; (2) the `.coreci.yml` used an invalid
`pipelines:`/`steps:`/`image:`/`commands:` format that CoreCI does not
recognize (CoreCI's native format is `jobs:` with `plugin:`/`invoke:`
/`vars:` and a DAG via `needs:`). Both issues must be fixed for the
release pipeline to actually build and upload binaries.

CoreCI's `Pipeline` struct only has `Jobs`/`Services`/`Env` fields — unknown top-level keys and unknown job fields are silently dropped by `yaml.Unmarshal`, producing an empty `Jobs` map. `coreci run` then executes zero jobs (validate does not reject empty jobs). The rewrite must: (a) convert each pipeline to a job with `plugin: docker://golang:1.25.12` and `invoke:` for the commands, (b) use `needs:` for DAG ordering (validate→build→test→release), (c) pass `GITEA_TOKEN` via `vars: { GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }} }` (resolved from env via CoreCI's secret resolver `os.Getenv` fallback), (d) use `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` (tag name on tag push, from CoreCI's github.go CI context) and `CI_COMMIT_SHA` for version injection, (e) handle the case where the release already exists (created by the CIAgent ship workflow with title+body but no binary) by falling back to Gitea API asset attachment, (f) verify assets are actually attached after release creation (REQ-097 gate C-21) | Critical | **v0.16 P1** | pending |
### Scope notes (v0.16)
- REQ-183..REQ-184 = 2 net-new requirements (REQ count grows 175 -> 177).
- 3 phases (P0 + P1 + P2 final); fix milestone (no `feat` phases — CI infrastructure).
- Tags on v0.15.x patch line: `v0.15.0` (P0) ... `v0.15.2` (P2 final = v0.16 milestone release).
- Milestone branch: `milestone/v0.16-release-binary-fix`.
- Root cause analysis confirmed: all 87 releases in the repo's history have zero binary assets — this has never worked. The releases are created by the CIAgent ship workflow (via Gitea API, title+body only); the binary upload is exclusively the `.coreci.yml` release job's job, and that job has never executed.

# RESEARCH v0.16: Release Binary Asset Fix
## Root Cause: Two Compounding Bugs
### Bug 1: Gitea Actions workflow cannot clone private coreci repo
`.gitea/workflows/release.yml` step "Install CoreCI" runs:
```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git /tmp/coreci
```
The `coreci` repo is **private** (confirmed: `curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci` returns 404 without auth; the Gitea API reports `"private": true`).
The `actions/checkout@v4` step injects auth only for the orca repo:
```
[command]/usr/bin/git config --local http.https://git.cloudinit.dev/.extraheader AUTHORIZATION: basic ***
```
The subsequent bare `git clone` of the coreci repo has no credentials. Runner logs confirm the failure:
```
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://git.cloudinit.dev': No such device or address
❌ Failure - Main Install CoreCI
exitcode '128': failure
```
Both Gitea Actions runs (v0.14.1 run #3540, v0.14.2 run #3544) failed at this step. The `container-orca` and `container-traefik` jobs (with `needs: ci`) were skipped. `coreci run` never executed.
**Fix (REQ-183):** Pass `GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}` as env to the "Install CoreCI" step and embed it in the clone URL:
```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://cloudinit-bot:${GITEA_TOKEN}@git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git /tmp/coreci
```
### Bug 2: .coreci.yml uses a format CoreCI does not understand
The orca `.coreci.yml` uses:
```yaml
pipelines:
validate:
steps:
- name: go-version
image: golang:1.25.12
commands: [go version, gofmt -l ., go vet ./...]
release:
when:
ref: "refs/tags/v*"
steps: [...]
```
CoreCI's actual format (validated against `workflows/pipeline/pipeline.go`):
```go
type Pipeline struct {
Jobs map[string]Job `yaml:"jobs"`
Services map[string]Service `yaml:"services,omitempty"`
Env EnvBlock `yaml:"env,omitempty"`
}
type Job struct {
Needs []string `yaml:"needs,omitempty"`
Plugin string `yaml:"plugin,omitempty"`
Invoke string `yaml:"invoke,omitempty"`
Vars map[string]string `yaml:"vars,omitempty"`
// ...
}
```
`yaml.Unmarshal` into a struct silently drops unknown fields (no `KnownFields(true)`). The `pipelines:` top-level key doesn't map to any struct field → `Jobs` is an empty map. CoreCI's `validate()` does NOT reject empty jobs:
```go
func validate(p *Pipeline) error {
seen := make(map[string]struct{}, len(p.Jobs))
for name, job := range p.Jobs { ... }
return nil // empty Jobs → no iterations → nil error
}
```
So `coreci run` loads an empty pipeline, runs zero jobs, and exits successfully — no build, no tarball, no asset upload.
Additional format mismatches in the current `.coreci.yml`:
- `when: ref: "refs/tags/v*"` — CoreCI has no `when` at pipeline/job level; it uses `rules: [{if: "CI_COMMIT_TAG"}]` on jobs. And CoreCI's `github.go` doesn't set `CI_COMMIT_TAG` for Gitea Actions. But the Gitea Actions workflow already gates on `on: push: tags: ['v*']`, so no conditional is needed.
- `${CI_COMMIT_TAG:-dev}` in `env:` blocks — CoreCI does not expand `${VAR}` at YAML parse time. Only `${{ secrets.KEY }}` is interpolated. Shell expansion works inside `invoke:` via `sh -c`.
- `GITEA_TOKEN: ${GITEA_TOKEN}` in `env:` blocks — CoreCI's `env` block doesn't do env-var interpolation. Secrets must go in job `vars:` via `${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }}`.
**Fix (REQ-184):** Full rewrite to CoreCI native `jobs:` format with a proper DAG.
## CoreCI Execution Model (validated against source)
### Executor Chain
Default: `podman,docker,shell-isolated` (`NewChainExecutorFromConfig`).
- `ErrExecutorUnavailable` (executor missing) → fall through to next.
- `ErrExecutorFailed` (non-zero exit) → stop immediately, no fallback.
### Job Execution with `plugin` + `invoke`
A job with BOTH `plugin: docker://golang:1.25` AND `invoke: "go build ..."`:
- **Podman/Docker executor**: pulls image, runs `podman/docker run ... <image> sh -c "<invoke>"`. Env vars from the `env` map are injected via `-e K=V`.
- **Shell-isolated executor**: checks `invoke` first (line 52). If non-empty, runs `sh -c "<invoke>"` directly, ignoring the `plugin` image. This is the fallback when no container runtime is available.
- This dual pattern is correct: container if available, shell fallback if not.
### Environment Variables in Jobs
`buildIsolatedEnv` (`isolated_shell.go:34`):
```go
func buildIsolatedEnv(env map[string]string) []string {
var out []string
for _, key := range envAllowlist { // PATH, HOME, LANG, TMPDIR, TERM, CI
if val, ok := os.LookupEnv(key); ok { out = append(out, ...) }
}
for _, kv := range os.Environ() {
if strings.HasPrefix(kv, "CORECI_") || strings.HasPrefix(kv, "CI_") { out = append(out, kv) }
}
for k, v := range env { out = append(out, fmt.Sprintf("%s=%s", k, v)) } // env map
out = append(out, "CORECI_SANDBOX=isolated-shell")
return out
}
```
The `env` map (3rd loop) is built in `run.go` from:
1. `cicontext.Detect()` → CI context (`CI_COMMIT_SHA`, `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH`, etc.)
2. `envfwd.PassThroughEnv()` → user-defined host env vars NOT in deny-list
3. Job `vars` (with `${{ secrets.* }}` interpolation)
So in a job's `invoke:` script, these env vars are available:
- `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` — tag name on tag push (from `GITHUB_REF_NAME`)
- `CI_COMMIT_SHA` — commit SHA
- `GITEA_TOKEN` — forwarded by PassThroughEnv (not in deny-list)
- `CORECI_*` prefixed vars — always forwarded
- `CI_*` prefixed vars — always forwarded
- Any job `vars` values
### Secret Resolution
`run.go:146-153`:
```go
resolver := func(key string) (string, error) {
if v, ok := secretMap[key]; ok { return v, nil } // local DB first
if v := os.Getenv(key); v != "" { return v, nil } // then env
return "", secrets.ErrMissingKey
}
```
Secret interpolation `${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }}` in job `vars:` is resolved by checking the local CoreCI secret store first, then `os.Getenv`. Since `GITEA_TOKEN` is in the env (from the Gitea Actions step env), `os.Getenv("GITEA_TOKEN")` succeeds.
## Gitea Actions CI Context
On a tag push (`refs/tags/v0.15.1`), Gitea Actions sets:
- `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`
- `GITHUB_REF=refs/tags/v0.15.1`
- `GITHUB_REF_NAME=v0.15.1`
- `GITHUB_REF_TYPE=tag`
- `GITHUB_SHA=<commit>`
CoreCI's `github.go` maps:
- `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true``isGitHub()` returns true → `IsRunningInCI()` true
- `GITHUB_SHA``CI_COMMIT_SHA`
- `GITHUB_REF_NAME``CI_COMMIT_BRANCH` (= `v0.15.1` on tag push)
`PassThroughEnv()` runs (CI detected). `GITHUB_REF` is in `predefinedCIVars` (NOT forwarded), but `GITEA_TOKEN` is NOT in any deny-list → forwarded.
## Conclusion
The fix is two file changes:
1. `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` — auth the coreci clone (embed token in URL)
2. `.coreci.yml` — rewrite to CoreCI native `jobs:` format with DAG
Both are validated against CoreCI source code and docs. No API calls needed — `coreci run` executes the `.coreci.yml` pipeline locally on the runner.

## Milestone v0.16: Release Binary Asset Fix — **IN PROGRESS**
**Scope**: fix the root cause of releases shipping with zero binary
assets. v0.15 added a Gitea Actions workflow but it never executed
successfully: the `git clone` of the private `coreci` repo had no
credentials (failed at "Install CoreCI"), and the `.coreci.yml` used an
invalid `pipelines:`/`steps:`/`image:`/`commands:` format that CoreCI
does not recognize (unknown fields silently dropped → empty `Jobs` map
→ zero jobs executed). Both issues must be fixed for the release
pipeline to actually build and upload binaries.
**Root cause (two compounding bugs):**
1. `.gitea/workflows/release.yml``git clone https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci.git` fails because the coreci repo is private and the clone has no credentials. The `actions/checkout@v4` step only injects auth for the orca repo.
2. `.coreci.yml` — uses `pipelines:` with `steps:`/`image:`/`commands:`, but CoreCI's native format is `jobs:` with `plugin:`/`invoke:`/`vars:` and a DAG via `needs:`. YAML unmarshal into CoreCI's `Pipeline` struct silently drops unknown fields, producing an empty `Jobs` map. `coreci run` executes zero jobs — no build, no tarball, no asset upload.
**Milestone type**: fix (CI infrastructure). Tags on v0.15.x patch
