usage: rig runner repoint --repo <owner/repo> [options]

  --repo <owner/repo>   the repository to move the runner TO (required)
  --name <name>         runner name (default: keep the name it has now)
  --labels <csv>        runner labels (default: the labels rig recorded at
                        install; else ci-runner)
  --user <name>         unprivileged service user (default: github-runner)
  --local               skip the server-side deregistration of the OLD repo
                        (no removal token needed) — leaves a stale offline
                        runner listed there, to delete by hand

Deregisters the runner from the repository it is on now and registers it
against --repo. The runner binary, its user, and its systemd service are
reused, so nothing is downloaded.

Two short-lived tokens, each minted from its OWN repository:

  RUNNER_REMOVE_TOKEN   removal token, from the CURRENT repo (not needed
                        with --local)
      gh api -X POST repos/<current>/actions/runners/remove-token
  RUNNER_TOKEN          registration token, from the repo in --repo
      gh api -X POST repos/<new>/actions/runners/registration-token

Either may be typed at the prompt instead. Both are collected BEFORE the
runner is touched — a token you turn out not to have should fail while the
runner is still registered, not halfway through the move. Neither is written
to disk by rig.

LABELS ARE NOT RECOVERABLE FROM THE BOX: GitHub holds them and the runner
does not persist them. rig records what it registered with, but a runner
installed before rig did that has nothing to read — repoint then falls back
to the ci-runner default and says so. Check your workflows' runs-on.

Convergent: repointing to the repo it is already on changes nothing, exits 0,
and never asks for a token.
