fix(P1): recompute TARBALL after fallback version walk (REQ-132)

The fallback walk (REQ-098) reassigns VERSION from the requested
release to the nearest older release carrying a binary asset, but
never recomputed TARBALL (set once at line 106 from the requested
version). The stale tarball name then flowed into:

  - grep -F "$TARBALL" SHA256SUMS  -> matched nothing (the fallback
    release's SHA256SUMS only lists the fallback tarball)
  - sha256sum -c -                 -> empty stdin -> "no properly
    formatted checksum lines found" -> REQ-132 refusal
  - tar -xzf "${TMPDIR}/${TARBALL}" -> would look for the wrong
    filename (download saved under the stale name too)

User-visible symptom (v0.14.2 latest had no asset, fell back to
v0.12.18):

  install: verifying checksum...
  sha256sum: 'standard input': no properly formatted checksum lines found
  install: error: checksum verification failed (REQ-132); refusing to install

Fix: recompute TARBALL immediately after VERSION is reassigned in the
fallback branch, so download/grep/sha256sum/tar all reference the
fallback version's tarball. ASSET_URL and SHA256SUMS_URL were already
correct (derived from the API/ASSET_URL); TARBALL was the only stale
variable.

Reproduced the exact error before the fix; confirmed end-to-end
install succeeds after (orca-v0.12.18-linux-amd64.tar.gz: OK ->
extracting -> installed). Added a bats regression test pinning
--version v0.14.2 and asserting the dry-run "would install" line
references the fallback version (not the stale pinned one).

decisions:
  - id: D-001
    decision: Recompute TARBALL in the fallback branch immediately
      after VERSION is reassigned, so grep/sha256sum/tar use the
      fallback version's filename instead of the stale requested
      version's.
    rationale: Reproduced the exact user error ("no properly formatted
      checksum lines found") by running grep -F "$TARBALL" SHA256SUMS
      | sha256sum -c with a stale v0.14.2 tarball name against v0.12.18
      SHA256SUMS. TARBALL is the only stale variable: ASSET_URL and
      VERSION are correctly updated from API output, and SHA256SUMS_URL
      derives from ASSET_URL. Single-line fix, minimal blast radius,
      preserves the working non-fallback path.
    confidence: 0.96
    alternatives:
      - lazy TARBALL via a function (over-engineering for one stale
        assignment)
      - move TARBALL= assignment past the fallback block (breaks
        find_asset_url which needs the requested version's name
        pre-walk)
lessons:
  - When a fallback/walk mutates one variable (VERSION), audit every
    variable derived from it (TARBALL) for the same mutation. The
    user-facing info line at 167 constructed the name inline and
    looked correct, masking that the variable itself was stale.

+# CLARIFY + RESEARCH + PLAN v0.15: CI Release Pipeline Fix
+
+## Decisions
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
+|----|----------|-----------|------------|
+| D-264 | Secret name = `PAT_TOKEN` (not `GITEA_PAT`) | Gitea reserves `GITEA_` prefix for built-in secrets | 1.0 (validated) |
+| D-265 | Use `tea actions secrets create` CLI | Operator instruction: no API | 1.0 (validated) |
+| D-266 | Container publishing in Gitea Actions, not CoreCI | CoreCI's podman executor appends `sh -c` which conflicts with kaniko's `/kaniko/executor` entrypoint. Gitea Actions `container:` supports `options: --entrypoint` | 0.95 |
+| D-267 | kaniko `executor:debug` image | Includes `/bin/sh`; Gitea Actions can override entrypoint to `/bin/sh` then run kaniko via shell | 0.90 |
+| D-268 | `coreci run` for validate/build/test/release (tarball); Gitea Actions for container publishing | Clean separation: CoreCI owns the pipeline, Gitea Actions owns the trigger + container publish | 0.95 |
+
+## Research: CoreCI podman executor entrypoint issue
+
+CoreCI's `internal/runner/podman_executor.go:48-51`:
+```go
+args = append(args, image)  // e.g. gcr.io/kaniko-project/executor:debug
+if job.Invoke != "" {
+    args = append(args, "sh", "-c", job.Invoke)
+}
+```
+This produces: `podman run ... <image> sh -c "<commands>"`
+With kaniko:debug (entrypoint `/kaniko/executor`), the actual command is:
+`/kaniko/executor sh -c "<commands>"` — kaniko fails (sh is not a kaniko flag).
+
+**Conclusion**: kaniko cannot be used as a CoreCI step image. Container
+publishing must move to the Gitea Actions workflow, which supports
+`container: options: --entrypoint /bin/sh` to override the entrypoint.
+
+## Plan
+
+### Phase 1 (only execution phase)
+
+**Files to create/modify:**
+
+1. `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` — Gitea Actions workflow:
+   - `on: push: tags: ['v*']`
+   - Job 1 `ci`: checkout + install Go + install coreci + `coreci run`
+     (executes validate/build/test/release from .coreci.yml)
+   - Job 2 `container-orca`: checkout + kaniko build+push orca image
+     (needs job 1; uses `container: gcr.io/kaniko-project/executor:debug`
+     with `options: --entrypoint /bin/sh`)
+   - Job 3 `container-traefik`: checkout + kaniko build+push orca-traefik image
+     (needs job 1; same kaniko approach)
+
+2. `.coreci.yml` — remove `container-publish` and `container-publish-traefik`
+   steps (they now live in the Gitea Actions workflow). Keep the
+   `gitea-release` step (tarball + Gitea release).
+
+3. `scripts/trigger_coreci.sh` — add tag ref handling (or document that
+   Gitea Actions is the trigger; the hook is for branch-push CI only).
