 name: SPIKE — registry build and push
 # THROWAWAY. Delete this file when #237 is answered, whichever way it goes.
 #
 # It exists to answer three questions that cannot be answered by reading
 # anything in this repository, before a design is built on assumptions about
 # them. #233 was designed on an assumption about the build context and broke
 # every Portainer deploy; this is the correction to that habit.
 #
 #   1. Can a job on this runner run `docker build` at all? The other workflows
 #      use `services:`, which proves the runner can *start* containers, not
 #      that a job can build images. That needs a Docker socket or buildx.
 #   2. Can it push to this Gitea's container registry? The packages API answers
 #      and lists nothing, so the registry has never been used here and
 #      "enabled" is unconfirmed.
 #   3. How long does the real image take to build here? Not a nice-to-know:
 #      backend-integration.yml is manual because a job once held this runner
 #      for 3h12m, and any design that builds on every merge to main lands on
 #      the same runner.
 #
 # workflow_dispatch only. It cannot fire on push or pull request, so merging it
 # changes nothing until someone presses the button.
