-# Handoff spec: custom godot-ci image
-
-Status: **done, and superseded** — the `godot-ci` repo this spec asked for exists and is built.
-Its versioning has since moved past what's written below: instead of one Dockerfile pinned to
-`4.7.1`, it now auto-tracks the newest stable Godot (4.0+) and newest stable Blender on a nightly
-schedule, with a manual `workflow_dispatch` to (re)build any specific version. See that repo's
-`README.md` for the current behavior; this file is kept for the original problem statement and
-scope rationale, not as a source of truth on tags/versions. Decided via wayfinder map
-[#158](https://git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/Project4x/issues/158), ticket
-[#162](https://git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/Project4x/issues/162).
-
-## Problem
-
-`export-template.yml`'s `export` job runs in `barichello/godot-ci:4.7.1` and, on every single run,
-`apt-get install`s a from-source Godot export-template toolchain before it can build anything. That
-install is pure dead time repeated on every release. A custom image extending
-`barichello/godot-ci:4.7.1` with the toolchain pre-installed removes it.
-
-## What this spec is for
-
-A fresh Gitea agent session, given only this file, must be able to:
-
-1. Create a new repo.
-2. Add a `Dockerfile` and a publish workflow to it.
-3. Get the image published to that repo's Gitea package (container) registry.
-4. Report back the final image reference so `export-template.yml` here can be pointed at it.
-
-No other context from this repo should be required.
-
-## Scope: what goes in the image
-
-Everything `export-template.yml`'s "Update and install dependencies" step currently
-`apt-get install`s, unconditionally (all of it — see [Decisions](#decisions) below for why the
-narrower alternative was rejected):
-
-```
-libfontconfig1
-build-essential scons pkg-config xz-utils curl
-# Linux leg:
-libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libgl1-mesa-dev \
-  libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libudev-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libwayland-dev
-# Windows leg:
-mingw-w64
-# + these two update-alternatives calls, baked in at image build time:
-update-alternatives --set x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-posix
-update-alternatives --set x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix
-# conditionally, when ENABLE_BLENDER is on:
-blender
-```
-
-Current source of truth for this list: `.gitea/workflows/export-template.yml` in
-`haylan/Project4x`, "Update and install dependencies" step. **Re-check that step before building**
-— it may have drifted since this spec was written.
-
-### What stays out of the image
-
-- **The SCons object cache** (`.scons_cache`, restored via `actions/cache@v3` keyed on
-  `scons-${GODOT_VERSION}-${artifact_name}`). This is build _state_, not a package — baking it into
-  the image would pin it to image-build time instead of the actual release run, going stale
-  immediately.
-- **`nsis` / `osslsigncode`.** These do NOT belong in this image. They run in `release.yml`'s
-  `create-release` job, which is a plain `ubuntu-latest` runner — it does not use
-  `barichello/godot-ci` or any container at all. (Earlier drafts of this ticket assumed they were
-  part of the export container's toolchain; that was wrong. The NSIS installer has since been
-  removed entirely — see ADR 0001's superseded note — so only `osslsigncode`/`zip` remain in
-  `create-release`, and neither is expensive enough to justify its own image.)
-
-## Registry path and versioning
-
-- **Registry:** this Gitea instance's container/package registry (`git.arthurerlich.de`), scoped
-  to the new repo you create — Gitea packages are per-repo/owner, so the path is
-  `git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/<new-repo-name>`.
-- **Tag:** pin to the Godot version only, e.g. `git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/<new-repo-name>:4.7.1`.
-  This mirrors `barichello/godot-ci`'s own tag scheme and `Project4x`'s `GODOT_VERSION` env var. A
-  Godot version bump in `Project4x` means building and pushing a new tag here too — that coupling
-  is intentional, not an oversight.
-- Pick `<new-repo-name>` yourself (e.g. `godot-ci-toolchain` or similar); it isn't fixed by this
-  spec.
-
-## Auth: PAT required
-
-Confirmed for this Gitea instance: `GITEA_TOKEN` (the automatic per-run Actions token) **cannot**
-push to the package/container registry. The new repo's publish workflow needs a **Personal Access
-Token** stored as a repo secret (e.g. `REGISTRY_PUSH_PAT`).
-
-- **Scope needed:** `write:package` (add `read:package` too if the publish workflow ever needs to
-  pull the image back, e.g. to test it before tagging `latest`).
-- Generate it from the account that should own the published packages, under
-  Settings → Applications → Generate New Token, with only that scope checked.
-- Document the token's owner/scope in the new repo's README once created — this repo
-  (`Project4x`) has no record of it and shouldn't need one; the coupling is one-way
-  (`Project4x` only ever pulls the finished image, never pushes to it).
-
-## Dockerfile skeleton
-
-```dockerfile
-FROM barichello/godot-ci:4.7.1
-
-RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
-    libfontconfig1 \
-    build-essential scons pkg-config xz-utils curl \
-    libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libgl1-mesa-dev \
-    libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libudev-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libwayland-dev \

-  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
-```
-
-Notes for whoever builds this:
-
-- `blender` is baked in unconditionally here even though `Project4x`'s `ENABLE_BLENDER` flag is
-  currently `"false"` — the image can't cheaply branch on a flag it doesn't know about at build
-  time, and the package is small next to the rest of this list. If that turns out to add
-  meaningful image size/pull time for a project that never flips the flag on, split into a second
-  `-blender` tagged variant instead.
-- Combine into one `RUN` (as above) so it's a single image layer — no benefit to splitting these
-  across layers here.
-
-## Publish workflow skeleton
-
-New repo, `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: Publish godot-ci image
-
-on:
-  push:
-    branches: [main]
-    paths: [Dockerfile]
-  workflow_dispatch:
-
-jobs:
-  publish:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
-
-      - name: Log in to Gitea registry
-        run: echo "${{ secrets.REGISTRY_PUSH_PAT }}" | docker login git.arthurerlich.de -u <owner-username> --password-stdin
-
-      - name: Build and push
-        run: |
-          docker build -t git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/<new-repo-name>:4.7.1 .
-          docker push git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/<new-repo-name>:4.7.1
-```
-
-Fill in `<owner-username>` and `<new-repo-name>` once the repo exists.
-
-## How `Project4x` would then reference the new image
-
-One-line change in `.gitea/workflows/export-template.yml`:
-
-```diff
-- container: barichello/godot-ci:4.7.1
-+ container: git.arthurerlich.de/haylan/<new-repo-name>:4.7.1
-```
-
-The "Update and install dependencies" step's `apt-get install` calls for the baked-in packages
-become redundant at that point (harmless no-ops — `apt-get install` on an already-installed
-package is a fast no-op, so removing them is a cleanup, not a correctness requirement) and can be
-trimmed in a follow-up ticket once the image is live and proven.
-
-## Decisions
-
-- **Bake-in scope:** everything in the current apt-get list, not a narrower "slow packages only"
-  subset — keeps the image and `export-template.yml`'s toolchain description in exact sync, so
-  there's only one place (this spec + the Dockerfile) to update when the list changes, instead of
-  maintaining a second smaller list that drifts from the first.
-- **Tag scheme:** pinned to `GODOT_VERSION` rather than tracking image/toolchain revisions
-  independently — simpler to reason about, and this repo's own SCons cache is already keyed the
-  same way, so a Godot bump already forces everything else to rebuild in lockstep.
