agent c11e2b19f8 ci: build without an exporter on validation runs; assert chromium and psql
buildctl v0.32 has no "cacheonly" exporter, so every push-triggered
validation build since this workflow was added failed with 'exporter
"cacheonly" could not be found' (run 16, 2026-09-08) — unnoticed, since
nothing depended on it. A build with no --output still builds every
stage on both architectures. The post-publish toolchain assertion now
also requires chromium-browser and psql (12.11.1-ci7).

name: build image (gitea)
# Publishes the runner toolchain image from the SELF-HOSTED Gitea runners, via
# the in-cluster rootless buildkitd — the same path zegit's own images already
# use (zegit .github/workflows/image-gitea.yml).
#
# Why this exists alongside build-image.yml: that workflow is GitHub-only, so
# the image the Gitea runners are BUILT FROM could only be produced by GitHub.
# When GitHub Actions became unavailable on 2026-08-29 that circularity bit —
# the fix for a missing tool in this very image (openssl/jq, whose absence
# blocked v0.0.134 and v0.0.135) could not be published on the forge the project
# is moving to. This removes the dependency.
#
# build-image.yml's header says the runners cannot build images because rootless
# buildah needs user namespaces the pod does not have. That is true of buildah
# IN THE JOB, and irrelevant here: buildkitd is its own hardened workload in
# buildkit-system, and this job only speaks to it over the network with
# buildctl. Nothing is built inside the runner container.

# The image is a TOOLCHAIN, so "it built" is not the property that matters
# — "it still contains what the gates shell out to" is. build-image.yml
# asserts that with `docker run`, which does not exist on these runners;
# buildkit can do it directly by building a stage FROM the published image
# whose RUN fails when a tool is absent. That is strictly better: buildkit
# runs it natively per platform, so a package that resolves on amd64 but
# not on arm64 cannot reach half the nodes unnoticed.
#
# openssl and jq are on this list because their absence blocked v0.0.134
# and v0.0.135: the release tag gate shells out to both to verify the
# Control Plane's signed quorum verdict, and a missing tool was reported
# as "verdict not signed" and "signature FAILED verification" — a tooling
# gap narrated as a security verdict. Extend this list whenever a gate
# grows a shell dependency; it only covers what someone remembered to add.
