The operator turned off REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW on forgejo.heavyduty.builders, so
the blocker this PR documented no longer applies to that instance. Re-measured
anonymously: heavy-duty/rig, ceremony, box, cast and stoke all answer 200 on
the API, the web page and git ls-remote, where rig 404'd on every one of those
this morning.
More to the point, the mechanism is now proven rather than argued: a
credential-less templates_resolve with
RIG_TEMPLATES_HOST=https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders fetches and extracts a
real archive end to end. That was the one part of piece 1 that could not be
demonstrated while the gate was up.
The requirement itself is unchanged and the refusal text still names it — it
follows from the mint's creds-free contract, not from one server's config, and
any other instance hosting a registry needs the same setting. What changed is
that this instance now satisfies it, so the docs say "verified satisfied"
instead of "blocked".
The plan doc keeps the original analysis under a heading that marks it
historical: it is why the knob exists, and deleting it would lose the
reasoning.

Three defects from review !110, all the same family — a stated contract the
code did not keep.
--version was swallowed on the path this command exists for. The download
block skipped on mere presence, copying runner-install.sh's shape without its
justification: actions/runner SELF-UPDATES, so freezing it would only make
GitHub refuse its jobs. forgejo-runner does not self-update, so nothing else
ever moves the version — and a ci-box's template preinstalls the binary at
mint, which meant the documented deterministic-pin lever could never fire on a
ci-box. It now converges toward the pin, downward included, because a pin is
an instruction and not a floor; absent a pin an existing binary is left alone,
since chasing latest would make a re-run an unrequested upgrade. The decision
moved to runner_download_decision in the lib as a pure function: the first
attempt at a test here grepped for a log string and survived the logic being
disabled, which is exactly the weak test the review warned about. The binary
is now renamed into place rather than written over — the converge path runs
while the daemon is live, and in-place is ETXTBSY.
.rig-labels outlived the registration it described. The write had escaped the
registration branch, where runner-install.sh correctly keeps its copy, so a
plain re-run stamped this invocation's labels over a registration made with
different ones and status then reported confidently wrong labels while Forgejo
still held the originals. Scoped again, and an EXPLICIT --labels on a re-run
now warns that Forgejo owns labels from registration time rather than letting
the request evaporate silently.
The checksum gate failed open. A missing .sha256 warned and installed anyway,
contradicting both the README and the template's own comment about unverified
root downloads. The original reasoning — do not let an upstream layout change
break installs — reasons about the wrong failure: a layout change breaks the
BINARY url too, so "binary yes, checksum no" is the shape of an interfered
fetch, which is precisely what the checksum exists to catch. Both paths refuse
now, with no bypass flag; if upstream really moves its assets that is a rig PR
editing the URL, not an operator improvising past a security gate.
Tests: the checksum paths are now DRIVEN against a stub curl through the real
template install.sh — matching, missing, mismatched and empty — instead of
grepped, and all three fixes were mutation-checked by reverting each and
confirming the suite goes red.
739/31/43 pass, shellcheck clean.

rig's CI story was GitHub-shaped end to end. This makes it work against a
self-hosted Forgejo, in three pieces.
The registry fetch becomes forge-aware. templates_resolve hardcoded three
github.com archive URLs; RIG_TEMPLATES_HOST now selects the grammar, because
the forges genuinely differ — GitHub serves refs/tags, refs/heads and bare
paths, Forgejo serves exactly one, and emitting the other two there would mean
two guaranteed 404s per fetch and a failure message listing URLs that never
could have worked. Measured against forgejo.heavyduty.builders, not inferred.
The default stays GitHub, so every existing caller is unchanged. install.sh's
snapshot reads the same variable through a byte-identical copy of the builder,
diffed by the tests: a snapshot cached from a forge converge would never fetch
from is worse than no snapshot, and the pin-in-the-name staleness guard cannot
catch a wrong-ORIGIN snapshot, only an old one.
ci-box is a tenant, not a machine role. The topology is a fleet machine
hosting boxes, one of which runs CI — a '-box' guest by rig's own family rule.
That also deletes the docker-in-docker layer the usual setup needs:
bootstrap-tenant.sh already installs Docker and adds the tenant user to the
group, and the isolation a privileged dind sidecar buys is already paid for by
a box that is network-isolated, inbound-less and disposable. rig runner
install refuses Docker for good reason — it converges a MACHINE, where the
blast radius is the machine. Here it is a guest that gets thrown away.
rig forgejo-runner is a new family beside rig runner, which is untouched.
Forgejo registers against an INSTANCE and the token carries the scope, so
there is no --repo to converge toward and nothing to compare; folding that
into one command would make every guard bimodal to share a flag name while the
contract underneath differs. assert_runner_instance asks the same
trust-boundary question about the axis Forgejo actually has. There is no
repoint and no --local, and both absences are explained where an operator
arriving from the GitHub sibling will hit them.
Forgejo's .runner holds the runner's own long-lived token, unlike GitHub's, so
it is installed 0600 and the mode is re-asserted on every converge — a mode
that drifted leaks the secret silently, since nothing fails and the runner
keeps working. status reports it and never prints the token.
Both downloads verify the published .sha256 before installing: this binary
lands as root and is executed by a systemd unit.
bootstrap --undo learns the guard for the same hazard on the other forge, and
it matters more here — Forgejo has no deregistration endpoint, so the ghost it
would strand has to be deleted by hand.
Known prerequisite, documented rather than assumed: the fetch is
unauthenticated by contract, and a Forgejo with REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW=true
answers 404 for repos it reports as public. Hosting a registry there needs
FORGEJO__service__REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW=false. The refusal names that case,
because it is indistinguishable from a wrong ref.

A host=yes box exists to run guest boxes, so bootstrap finishes the job
instead of printing "next: install the box CLI and run 'box setup-host'".
After the role marker is written, on host=yes it installs the box CLI
globally and lets box's OWN setup-host build the Incus stack.
rig DELEGATES to box; it never touches Incus itself — the same design law
`rig users apply` enforces ("rig NEVER installs Incus: box's setup-host
owns the daemon and its group"). rig does not apt-install incus, does not
configure the daemon, does not create the incus group. It runs box's global
installer as root with BOX_YES=1 (non-interactive AND keeps setup-host);
box installs Incus. Two tools converging one daemon is drift by construction.
- Convergent: box's installer is a no-op once box is installed, so re-running
bootstrap changes nothing.
- Opt-out: RIG_SKIP_BOX_INSTALL=1 skips; also skips gracefully (with a manual
pointer) when curl or the network is missing — box is the host EXTRA, so a
failed box install never aborts a bootstrap that otherwise succeeded.
- Pinnable: BOX_REPO / BOX_REF (default heavy-duty/box@main).
- Runs only AFTER the role marker write, so a box that failed to become what
it claims never installs box on a half-built host.
The world-readable global install path (box under /opt/box, readable by every
non-root user) depends on box PR #71; until it merges box's root install lands
in /root. Noted in a comment and the plan doc.
Completes rig#12 (the dev role — the Incus claudebox host) and rig#25
(machine classes: host-class installs box + rig users).
Tests: 8 new bootstrap checks (guard on host=yes, BOX_YES install, pin
defaults, RIG_SKIP_BOX_INSTALL opt-out, negative-grep that rig never
apt-installs incus, box-after-marker ordering, manual-pointer on skip).
154 passed, 0 failed; shellcheck -x clean.

Traits (class/host/join) under the existing roles with dev/workstation/custom
presets and the /etc/rig/role marker; rig users apply/status/close-root under
the hybrid access model decided in #26's comments: operators on every class,
root SSH closed on class=human, kept as the control plane's automation
identity on class=server.
