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.
