Publishing this image by hand kept hitting the same four walls — Cloudflare's
413, Docker parsing a bare MagicDNS name as a Docker Hub namespace, a PAT
missing write:package, and multi-arch. push-image.sh made that survivable;
this removes the manual step entirely.
It builds on GitHub rather than our own Gitea Actions because the runners
cannot build images: their labels are `ubuntu-latest:host` (host mode, no job
containers) and the container drops ALL capabilities with
allowPrivilegeEscalation:false, while rootless buildah needs newuidmap/user
namespaces for RUN steps. Building there would mean weakening the posture the
hardening established.
It publishes to ghcr.io rather than the Gitea registry because Cloudflare's
body cap is what caused the 413 in the first place, and because the cluster
already pulls zegit's own images from ghcr.io through an existing
github-registry-credentials pull secret — an established path rather than a
new one.
A master push validates that both arches still build but publishes nothing;
only an explicit dispatch names a tag and pushes, so a branch push cannot
silently mint a version. The final step reads the published index back and
fails if either architecture is absent, since a single-arch image under this
tag would CrashLoop on half the nodes.
Action SHAs match the pins zegit already uses, rather than introducing a
second set of versions to track.
