# rig forgejo-runner install — Forgejo Actions runner as a systemd service
# under an unprivileged user. Outbound-only (long-poll to the instance), no
# inbound ports. Convergent toward --instance: re-running against the instance
# the box is already on leaves it alone; a box registered to a DIFFERENT
# instance is refused, never silently restarted on the old one.
#
# The GitHub sibling (runner-install.sh) refuses Docker outright: it converges
# a fleet MACHINE, where `docker` group membership is root-equivalent and the
# blast radius is the machine. This command's home is a ci-box TENANT, where
# bootstrap-tenant.sh has already installed Docker and added the tenant user to
# the group, and where the blast radius is a disposable guest with no inbound
# path. Same trade, different machine, opposite answer — which is why this is a
# separate command and not a flag on that one.

# fetch_and_verify_sha256 <asset-url> <file> <sumfile> <label>
#
# The whole checksum POLICY, in one place: fetch the published .sha256 beside
# an asset and prove the download matches it. Prints the reason on stderr and
# returns 1 on any failure; the caller supplies the refusal in its own voice.
#
# BYTE-IDENTICAL to the copy in docs/templates/ci-box/install.sh, diffed by
# test/cli.sh — the valid_version / templates_archive_urls precedent. The two
# downloaders cannot share a lib: this one sources commands/lib/, and that one
# is a REGISTRY DEFINITION that runs standalone inside a mint from a fetched
# tarball, with rig's tree nowhere in reach. So the pin is the only mechanism
# that keeps one policy from becoming two.
#
# Review !110 is the evidence for why that matters: a fail-open branch lived in
# BOTH copies while a grep for "checksum mismatch" passed against both, because
# the string it looked for sat right beside the branch it could not see. The
# next checksum-policy change must not be able to land in one file only.
#
# AN UNFETCHABLE CHECKSUM REFUSES — it is a gate, not a courtesy. The earlier
# reasoning ("do not let an upstream layout change break installs") reasons
# about the wrong failure: a layout change moves the BINARY url too, so the
# download would already have died. "Binary yes, checksum no" is not what a
# layout change looks like — it is what an interfered fetch looks like, which
# is precisely what a checksum exists to catch. Failing open would hand an
# unverified root install to anyone able to block a single URL. There is
# deliberately no bypass flag: if upstream really does move its assets, that is
# a rig PR editing the URL, not an operator improvising past a security gate.

usage: rig forgejo-runner install --instance <url> [options]

  --instance <url>      Forgejo instance the runner registers to (required),
                        e.g. https://forgejo.example.com
  --version <pin>       forgejo-runner release to install, e.g. 12.13.2
                        (default: the latest release, resolved at install
                        time). Pin it for a deterministic, auditable install.
  --name <name>         runner name (default: this host's hostname)
  --labels <csv>        runner labels; replaces the default. The default maps
                        ubuntu-latest and docker onto container images, so a
                        workflow written for GitHub runs unchanged.
  --user <name>         unprivileged service user (default: the tenant user
                        `ci` when it exists, else forgejo-runner; created if
                        absent; never root)

Installs forgejo-runner as a systemd service under an unprivileged user. The
runner is an agent, not a server: it long-polls the instance outbound and
receives jobs down that already-established connection, so it needs ZERO
inbound ports.

Jobs run in Docker containers on this box's own daemon. Inside a ci-box tenant
that daemon is already there — `rig bootstrap ci-box` installs it and puts the
tenant user in the `docker` group.

Provide the runner registration token via the FORGEJO_RUNNER_TOKEN env var or
the interactive prompt. Get one from the scope you want the runner to serve:
  instance   Site Administration > Actions > Runners > Create new Runner
  org        Org > Settings > Actions > Runners
  repo       Repo > Settings > Actions > Runners
The SCOPE IS THE TOKEN'S, not a flag here. It is consumed at registration and
never written to disk by rig.

Convergent toward --instance: re-running against the instance this box is
already on re-uses the binary, skips registration, and never asks for a token.
A box registered to a DIFFERENT instance is refused — take it off the old one
with `rig forgejo-runner remove` first.

# --- download ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Forgejo publishes BARE BINARIES (not a tarball) with a .sha256 beside each
# one. Taking that checksum is nearly free and makes the install auditable —
# the same instinct as `coolify install`'s mandatory version pin.
#
# "Already present" is NOT enough to skip here, and this is where the GitHub
# sibling's shape must not be copied. Its skip is justified by "self-update
# owns upgrades" — actions/runner updates itself, and GitHub refuses jobs from
# stale runners, so freezing it would be pointless. **forgejo-runner does not
# self-update.** Nothing else ever moves the version, so a bare presence check
# would mean the binary a box first happened to get is the binary it keeps
# forever.
#
# That lands hardest on the path this command is FOR: a ci-box's template
# install.sh preinstalls /usr/local/bin/forgejo-runner at mint, so the
# executable always exists before an operator ever runs this — and --version,
# documented as the deterministic-pin lever, would silently do nothing on
# every ci-box in the fleet.
#
# So: converge toward --version when it is given, exactly as this command
# converges toward --instance. A pin is not a trust boundary the way an
# instance is (that one refuses), it is an instruction — including downward,
# which is what a pin is for. Absent a pin, an existing binary is left alone:
# chasing "latest" on every converge would make a re-run an unrequested
# upgrade, and convergence must not be a moving target.

# runner_version_of / runner_download_decision live in the lib, so the rule can
# be driven by test/cli.sh without root — see there for the full reasoning.

# --- register ----------------------------------------------------------------
# UPSTREAM MARKS `register` DEPRECATED (measured on v12.13.2: both `register`
# and `create-runner-file` carry "(deprecated)" in their help). It is chosen
# here anyway, deliberately, and this is the reasoning to revisit when it
# finally goes:
#
#   - It still works. `daemon` reads the `.runner` this writes, resolves the
#     instance from it, and connects — verified against a live instance, where
#     a planted `.runner` got as far as "Unauthenticated: unregistered runner".
#     The mechanism is intact; only the credential was fake.
#   - The successor needs MORE than rig can honestly ask for at this layer:
#     `daemon --url --uuid --token-url` requires the runner to already exist on
#     the instance, so the operator would have to create it via API/UI and
#     carry back a UUID. That is a second, differently-shaped credential dance
#     for no gain today.
#   - `register` writes a file `status` can read back. The successor's config
#     lives in flags on a unit line, where "what is this box registered to" has
#     no on-disk answer that is not just rig's own copy of what it was told.
#
# When upstream removes it: the shape becomes `daemon --url/--uuid`, the unit
# gains those flags, and forgejo-runner-config.sh's readers move to whatever
# holds the UUID. assert_runner_instance's contract survives either way — it
# asks about the instance, which both spellings record.
