+## Workflow Verification (Before Push)
+
+Workflow YAML files (`.gitea/workflows/*.yml`) are verified with two tools:
+
+1. **actionlint** — Static linter that catches syntax errors, invalid
+   expressions, unknown keys, type mismatches, and shellcheck issues.
+   Config: `.gitea/actionlint.yaml` (registers custom `docker` runner label).
+   Installed automatically by `make setup` via `scripts/install_tools.py`.
+
+2. **act_runner exec --dryrun** — Gitea's own runner in dry-run mode.
+   Validates job dependencies, step ordering, and Docker image selection
+   without starting containers. Installed automatically by `make setup`.
+
+Both run via `make workflow-check` and are part of `make lint-all`.
+The pre-commit hook runs actionlint automatically when workflow files change.
+The CI `quality` job runs `make setup` (which installs all tools) then `make lint-all`.

+After a PR is merged to master, the **post-merge workflow**
+(`.gitea/workflows/post-merge.yml`) runs automatically. This single
+workflow consolidates release, wiki sync, badge generation, and
+Vikunja task updates:
 
-1. **Release workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`):
-   - Triggers on push to master
-   - Sets up full dev environment (`make setup`) so lint and tests can run
-   - Runs `scripts/release.py` which uses **git-cliff** to:
-     - Calculate the next semver version from conventional commits since the last tag
-     - Update `__version__` in `src/gitea_runner_manager/__init__.py` (single source of truth)
-     - Update `CHANGELOG.md` with the new version section
-     - **Run `make lint-ruff` and `make pytest-cov`** to verify the release is healthy
-     - If lint or tests fail, **abort immediately** — no commit, no tag
-     - Commit with `release: vX.Y.Z` prefix (cleaner than `chore(release):`)
-     - Create an annotated tag `vX.Y.Z` on the release commit
-     - Push both the commit and tag to master
+1. **detect-type** — Checks if the commit is a regular merge or a
+   release commit (`release: vX.Y.Z`). All subsequent jobs skip for
+   release commits (the `[skip ci]` tag also prevents re-triggering).
+
+2. **release** — Runs `scripts/ci/release.py` which:
+   - **Checks for user-facing changes** via `scripts/ci/classify_changes.py` — if only
+     workflow/infrastructure files changed (`.gitea/`, `scripts/`, `docs/`, `tests/`,
+     `AGENTS.md`, `Makefile`, etc.), the release is **skipped entirely** — no version
+     bump, no tag, no publish. This prevents unnecessary releases for CI/docs-only changes.
+   - Uses **git-cliff** to calculate the next semver version from conventional commits
+   - Updates `__version__` in `src/gitea_runner_manager/__init__.py` (single source of truth)
+   - Updates `CHANGELOG.md` with the new version section
+   - **Runs `make lint-ruff` and `make pytest-cov`** to verify the release is healthy
+   - If lint or tests fail, **aborts immediately** — no commit, no tag
+   - Commits with `release: vX.Y.Z [skip ci]` prefix (the `[skip ci]` prevents
+     re-triggering post-merge on the release commit)
+   - Creates an annotated tag `vX.Y.Z` on the release commit
+   - Pushes both the commit and tag to master
    - `--skip-tests` flag bypasses test verification (emergency use only, not recommended)
    - Loops are prevented by `has_unreleased_changes` — after a release commit is tagged, the next run finds no unreleased changes and exits
-   - On failure, creates a Gitea issue via `scripts/notify_failure.py`
+
+3. **sync-wiki** — Syncs documentation to the Gitea wiki.
+
+4. **badges** — Generates and pushes quality badge SVGs to the `badges` branch.
+   Runs **after** the release job (even if release fails or is skipped) so the
+   version badge always reflects the latest state. The script fetches the
+   latest master before generating badges to pick up any release commits.
+
+5. **vikunja** — Marks the corresponding Vikunja task as done.
+
+The tag push triggers the **publish workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`)
+which builds and publishes the package to PyPI.
+
+### Smart CI: User-Facing vs Workflow-Only Changes
+
+Not all changes require the full CI pipeline or a new release. The project
+classifies changes into two categories using `scripts/ci/classify_changes.py`:
+
+**Classification strategy (safe-by-default):** Any file NOT in the explicit
+workflow-only allowlist is treated as user-facing. This prevents new file
+types from accidentally skipping releases.
+
+**Workflow-only paths** (infrastructure → no release needed):
+- `.gitea/**` — Gitea Actions workflows
+- `scripts/ci/**` — CI/CD automation scripts
+- `scripts/setup.py`, `scripts/molecule_all.py`, `scripts/install_tools.py`, `scripts/__init__.py` — Dev tooling and package init
+- `docs/**` — Documentation
+- `tests/**` — Test files
+- `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `TROUBLESHOOTING.md` — Project docs
+- `Makefile`, `cliff.toml`, `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, `.ansible-lint` — Config
+- `.env.example`, `.gitignore`, `.ruff.toml` — Config
+- `hooks/**` — Git hooks
+
+**User-facing paths** (tool changes → release needed) — everything else:
+- `src/gitea_runner_manager/**` — Python CLI source (except `__init__.py` and `api_clients.py`)
+- `ansible/**` — Ansible role
+- `pyproject.toml` — Package metadata
+- Any new file type not in the allowlist
+
+**Script directory structure:**
+- `scripts/` — Dev tools (run locally by developers): `check_test_speed.py`, `configure_repo.py`, `install_checkmake.py`, `install_tools.py`, `setup.py`, `molecule_all.py`, `generate_badges.py`, `gitea_cli.py`
+- `scripts/ci/` — CI/CD automation (run by workflows): `release.py`, `publish.py`, `auto_merge.py`, `classify_changes.py`, `detect_release_commit.py`, `push_badges.py`, `doc_coverage.py`, `sync_wiki.py`, `distribute_molecule.py`, `molecule_ci_guard.py`, `discover_runners.py`, `notify_failure.py`, `post_merge.py`, `pr_review.py`, `review_pr.py`, `validate_commit_msg.py`, `platforms.py`
+
+**CI behavior based on classification:**
+- **Molecule tests**: Only run when `ansible/` or `.ansible-lint` files change
+- **Release dry-run**: Only runs when user-facing files change
+- **Quality job** (lint, unit tests, coverage, doc-coverage): Always runs
+- **Release workflow**: Skips entirely when no user-facing files changed since last tag
+
+**AI agents must follow these rules:**
+- When working on workflow/CI/docs-only changes, use `ci:` or `docs:` commit prefixes
+- Do NOT bump the version or create tags for workflow-only changes
+- The `classify_changes.py` script enforces this automatically — no manual intervention needed
+- When adding a new CI script, place it in `scripts/ci/`. Dev tools go in `scripts/`.
+
+## Script Separation and Import Rules
+
+The codebase enforces strict separation between the GRM tool and CI/dev scripts:
+
+### Directory Layout
+
+| Directory | Purpose | Release impact |
+|-----------|---------|----------------|
+| `src/gitea_runner_manager/` | User-facing GRM CLI tool | Changes trigger release |
+| `scripts/` | Dev tools (run locally) | Workflow-only (no release) |
+| `scripts/ci/` | CI/CD automation (run by workflows) | Workflow-only (no release) |
+| `ansible/` | Ansible role for runner setup | Changes trigger release |
+
+### Import Rules
+
+1. **`src/gitea_runner_manager/` NEVER imports from `scripts/`** — the tool is self-contained
+2. **Scripts MAY import from `gitea_runner_manager`** — one-way dependency (scripts use the tool's API clients, config, i18n)
+3. **Cross-script imports** (scripts importing from other scripts) are allowed within `scripts/ci/` but must be documented
+4. **`scripts/gitea_cli.py`** is a shared wrapper around the `tea` CLI — CI scripts import from it for Gitea API operations (issues, labels, PRs, releases, reviews)
+
+### tea CLI Integration
+
+The `tea` Gitea CLI tool is used for Gitea API interactions in CI scripts. It is installed by `scripts/install_tools.py` and configured by `scripts/setup.py` (login profile from `.env` `REPO_TOKEN`).
+
+**`scripts/gitea_cli.py`** — Python wrapper around `tea` CLI with JSON output parsing:
+- `TeaCLI.create_issue()` — Create issues with labels
+- `TeaCLI.list_labels()` / `TeaCLI.create_label()` / `TeaCLI.add_label()` — Label management
+- `TeaCLI.create_pr()` / `TeaCLI.merge_pr()` / `TeaCLI.review_pr()` — Pull request operations
+- `TeaCLI.create_release()` / `TeaCLI.list_releases()` — Release management
+- `TeaCLI.list_branches()` — Branch listing
+
+**Scripts using tea (via `gitea_cli.py`):**
+- `scripts/ci/publish.py` — Creates Gitea releases via `tea releases create`
+- `scripts/ci/notify_failure.py` — Creates issues via `tea issues create` (falls back to `GiteaClient` if tea not installed)
+- `scripts/configure_repo.py` — Creates labels via `tea labels create` (falls back to `GiteaClient` if tea fails; branch protection still uses `GiteaClient` since tea only supports basic protect/unprotect)
+
+**Operations still using `GiteaClient` (not supported by tea):**
+- PR reviews (`review_pr.py`) — tea v0.14.1 only supports interactive reviews
+- Wiki page management (`sync_wiki.py`)
+- Commit status checks (`auto_merge.py`)
+- Runner discovery (`discover_runners.py`)
+- Branch protection with detailed config (`configure_repo.py`)
+- PR file/commit listing (`pr_review.py`)
+
+### PYTHONPATH Configuration
+
+Scripts have different import requirements. Workflows must set `PYTHONPATH` accordingly:
+
+| PYTHONPATH | When to use | Example scripts |
+|------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| `src` | Script imports from `gitea_runner_manager` | `auto_merge.py`, `pr_review.py`, `review_pr.py`, `sync_wiki.py`, `post_merge.py`, `classify_changes.py`, `discover_runners.py`, `doc_coverage.py` |
+| `.:src` | Script imports from both `gitea_runner_manager` and `scripts.gitea_cli` | `publish.py`, `notify_failure.py`, `configure_repo.py` |
+| `.` | Script imports from other `scripts.ci.*` modules | `release.py` (imports `classify_changes.has_user_facing_changes`) |
+| (none) | Script has no GRM or cross-script imports | `detect_release_commit.py`, `distribute_molecule.py`, `molecule_ci_guard.py`, `push_badges.py`, `validate_commit_msg.py` |
+
+**In workflows**, always use `env:` blocks (not inline `PYTHONPATH=value`):
+```yaml
+- name: Run script
+  env:
+    PYTHONPATH: src
+  run: python3 scripts/ci/example.py
+```
+
+**Locally**, the current directory is in `sys.path` by default, so `PYTHONPATH` is usually not needed.
+
+### Shared Constants
+
+`scripts/ci/platforms.py` is the single source of truth for the molecule
+platform matrix. Both `scripts/ci/distribute_molecule.py` (CI) and
+`scripts/molecule_all.py` (dev tool) import `PLATFORMS` from it — this
+avoids dev tools importing directly from CI scripts.

+### Wiki Sync
+
+- **On merge to master**: `sync-wiki.yml` workflow runs `scripts/ci/sync_wiki.py` which pushes all `/docs/` content to the Gitea wiki via API
+- **On release tag**: Same sync runs, plus the wiki is tagged with the release version
+- `mapping.json` maps each file path to a wiki page title (e.g., `user/getting-started.md` → `Getting-Started`)
+- README.md is a lean entry point with links to the wiki — no detailed content
+
+### Documentation Coverage
+
+- `scripts/ci/doc_coverage.py` checks that all CLI commands, Python modules, and CI scripts are documented
+- Runs as a CI step in the quality job
+- Goal: 100% coverage for public CLI commands and major architectural components
+
+### Updating Documentation
+
+1. Edit files in `/docs/`
+2. If adding a new page, add it to `docs/mapping.json`
+3. Commit and create a PR (standard PR workflow)
+4. On merge, wiki is automatically synced

+- Enforce script separation and document import rules
 
-- **Automated semver versioning and releases**: `scripts/release.py` — CI script that uses git-cliff to calculate the next version from conventional commits, update version files, create a release commit, tag, and push.
-- `cliff.toml` — git-cliff configuration for conventional commit parsing, semver bumping, and changelog generation.
-- Release workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`) — triggers on push to master, runs `scripts/release.py` to automatically version and tag releases.
-- `publish.py` now uses git-cliff to generate release notes for Gitea releases (falls back to generic message if git-cliff is not available).
-- `pyproject.toml` now uses `dynamic = ["version"]` with setuptools `attr` to source version from `__init__.py` (single source of truth — release script only updates `__init__.py`).
-- **Mandatory PR review step**: `scripts/review_pr.py` — CLI to post Gitea PR reviews (COMMENT, APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES) with inline comments via `--comments-json` or `--comments-stdin`.
-- `GiteaClient.get_pr_files`, `GiteaClient.get_pr_commits`, `GiteaClient.create_review` — API methods for PR review workflow.
-- `VikunjaClient.get_task` — fetch a single task by numeric ID.
-- PR title format: `GRM-N: <vikunja task title>` (colon-separated, human-friendly).
-- Merge commit format: `GRM-N <conventional commit message>` (space-separated, conventional).
-- `auto_merge.py` now extracts the conventional commit message from PR commits and constructs the merge title as `GRM-N <conventional commit>`.
-- `post_merge.py` `extract_conventional_msg` now handles both legacy (`GRM-N: <msg>`) and current (`GRM-N <msg>`) merge commit formats.
-- Full PR workflow documented in `AGENTS.md` and `README.md` (Vikunja task → branch → implement → commit → PR → review → address comments → approve → merge).
+### Revert
 
-### Changed
+- Remove v0.6.0 release (no user-facing changes)
 
-- Parameterized all hardcoded configuration values as Ansible variables in `defaults/main.yml`:
-  - `gitea_runner_data_dir` — Runtime data directory
-  - `gitea_runner_config_dir` — Config directory
-  - `gitea_runner_binary_path` — Binary install path
-  - `gitea_runner_prune_until` — Prune age filter
-  - `gitea_runner_prune_schedule` — Prune timer schedule
-  - `gitea_runner_prune_label` — Docker label for pruning
-  - `gitea_runner_service_restart_sec` — systemd restart interval
-  - `gitea_runner_service_user` — Service user
-  - `gitea_runner_log_level` — Runner log level
-  - `gitea_runner_container_label` — Container label
-  - `gitea_runner_file` — Runner metadata file
-  - `docker_gpg_key_path` — Docker GPG key path
-- Added `console_scripts` entry point in `pyproject.toml` (`grm = "gitea_runner_manager.cli:cli"`).
-- Added shared `molecule/common/prepare.yml` to eliminate duplicated prepare playbooks.
-- Extracted repeated systemd availability check into `tasks/systemd_check.yml`.
-- Added idempotence checks to all Molecule scenarios.
-- Comprehensive README overhaul with Architecture, Configuration, Development, Testing, and Troubleshooting sections.
-- API URLs and repo configuration in `config.py` are now overridable via environment variables (`GRM_GITEA_API_URL`, `GRM_VIKUNJA_API_URL`, `GRM_REPO_OWNER`, `GRM_REPO_NAME`, `GRM_VIKUNJA_PROJECT_ID`).
-- `remove-runner.yml` now disables lingering and removes subuid/subgid entries for complete cleanup.
+## [0.5.0] - 2026-06-21
 
-### Security
+### Packaging
 
-- **Critical fix**: Registration tokens and admin tokens are no longer passed via `--extra-vars` on the command line (CWE-214). Extra-vars are now written to a temporary JSON file with `0600` permissions and passed via `--extra-vars @tempfile`, which is deleted after execution. This prevents secrets from being visible in the process list (`ps aux`).
+- `pyproject.toml` now uses `dynamic = ["version"]` with setuptools `attr` to source version from `__init__.py` (single source of truth)
+- Added `console_scripts` entry point (`grm = "gitea_runner_manager.cli:cli"`)
 
-### Changed
+### Bug Fixes
 
-- Replaced legacy runner terminology with `gitea_runner` / `gitea-runner` / `Gitea Runner`.
-- Updated default Docker image from `gitea/gitea_runner` to `gitea/runner`.
-- `Makefile` now uses the installed `grm` console script instead of `python grm`.
-- `pyproject.toml` ruff and pyright target versions updated from `py311` to `py312` to match `requires-python = ">=3.12"`.
-- `BRANCH_PROTECTION_CONFIG` updated with correct Gitea Actions status check contexts (including `(pull_request)` suffix) and `required_approvals: 0` for auto-merge.
-- `CONVENTIONAL_RE` no longer matches `BREAKING CHANGE` as a commit type (it is a footer, not a type).
-- `rootless_docker.yml` apt cache update now only runs when the Docker repo file changes (idempotent, but always refreshes on first add).
-- `service.yml` and `prune.yml` template creation tasks are not guarded by `docker_rootless_setup` (templates just create files, they don't need Docker; molecule tests set `docker_rootless_setup: false` but still verify the service file exists).
-- `molecule_all.sh` now sources the platform list from `distribute_molecule.py` to avoid duplication.
+- Arch Linux: pacman cache update now runs separately before package installation (fixes idempotence)
+- `rootless_docker.yml`: separated `update_cache` from package installation task
 
-### Removed
+### Internal
 
-- Deleted `setup.py` (redundant with `pyproject.toml`).
-- Deleted `grm` shell entrypoint script (replaced by `console_scripts`).
-- Deleted `initial-plan.md` and `tests/integration/test_provision.py` (dead code).
-- Removed empty `__init__.py` files from `tests/` directories.
-- Removed unused `runner_validated` fact from `validate.yml`.
-- Removed duplicate `prune.yml` and `integration_test.yml` includes from `install_runner.yml` (already included from `main.yml`).
-- Removed dead `tasks/config.yml` (never included by any playbook).
-- Removed dead `templates/gitea-runner.service.j2` (legacy system-level service, replaced by rootless `gitea-runner-user.service.j2`).
-- Removed dead "Reload systemd" handler (system-level reload, never notified, wrong scope for user services).
-- Removed dead `scripts/run_molecule_parallel.py` and its test (replaced by `molecule_ci_guard.py`).
+- Added `GiteaClient.create_issue`, `GiteaClient.get_pr_files`, `GiteaClient.create_review` API methods
+- Added `VikunjaClient.get_task` method
+- Config URLs and repo settings now overridable via environment variables
 
-### Fixed
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-06-21
 
-- Molecule idempotence failures caused by non-idempotent service restart.
-- Missing `/etc/docker` directory handling in Molecule tests.
-- `ansible-lint` formatting warnings (yaml empty lines).
-- Verify playbooks now explicitly load role defaults so parameterized variables are available during verification.
-- Duplicate execution of prune and integration test tasks during installation (were included from both `main.yml` and `install_runner.yml`).
-- apt cache update reporting `changed` on every run due to `cache_valid_time: 0`.
+### Rootless Docker Support
+
+- Full rootless Docker installation and configuration via Ansible
+- `docker_rootless_setup` variable controls whether rootless Docker tasks run
+- User setup tasks (subuid/subgid, lingering, dockerd-rootless)
+- Proper gating of all Docker-dependent and `systemctl --user` tasks
+
+### Runner Labels
+
+- `--labels` option on `grm install` — specify runner labels (e.g., `--labels "ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20"`)
+- Labels passed through to runner config YAML
+
+### Security Fix (CWE-214)
+
+- **Critical**: Registration tokens and admin tokens are no longer passed via `--extra-vars` on the command line
+- Extra-vars are now written to a temporary JSON file with `0600` permissions and passed via `--extra-vars @tempfile`
+- This prevents secrets from being visible in the process list (`ps aux`)
+
+### Configuration via Environment Variables
+
+- API URLs and repo configuration in `config.py` are now overridable via environment variables:
+  - `GRM_GITEA_API_URL`
+  - `GRM_VIKUNJA_API_URL`
+  - `GRM_REPO_OWNER`
+  - `GRM_REPO_NAME`
+  - `GRM_VIKUNJA_PROJECT_ID`
+
+### Ansible Role Improvements
+
+- Dead code cleanup (removed `config.yml`, legacy system-level service, duplicate task includes)
+- `remove-runner.yml` now disables lingering and removes subuid/subgid entries for complete cleanup
+- Arch Linux: `gnupg` package name fix, pacman cache handling
+- Docker APT repository: deb822 format, proper GPG handling, arch mapping
+- Idempotence fixes for user_setup and download tasks
+
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-06-21
+
+### New CLI Options
+
+- `--force` flag on `grm remove` — remove a runner even when the host is unreachable (skips Ansible playbook, only deregisters via API)
+- `--url` option — override the Gitea URL for any command (useful for multiple Gitea instances)
+- `--ask-become-pass` is now the default behavior (no need to pass it explicitly)
+
+### Status Detection Fixes
+
+- `grm list` now correctly retrieves runner status (was showing "unknown" for active runners)
+- Docker mode status detection via `docker inspect`
+- Host/user context added to status output
+
+### Output Improvements
+
+- Colorized output for better visual feedback (green/red/yellow)
+- Translated operation reports for success and failure cases
+- Dual logging: `click.echo()` for user-facing messages, `logging` for debug
+- `GRM_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable for controlling verbosity
+- Full i18n support (all user-facing strings translated)
+
+### Internal Refactoring
+
+- Validation moved from CLI layer to business layer
+- Centralized API clients and HTTP status codes
+- User-friendly Click errors with i18n
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-06-21
+
+### New CLI Commands
+
+- `grm start <host>` — start a runner's systemd service
+- `grm stop <host>` — stop a runner's systemd service
+- `grm enable <host>` — enable a runner to start on boot
+- `grm disable <host>` — disable a runner from starting on boot
+- `grm status <host>` — check runner service status
+- `grm remove <host>` — deregister and remove a runner
+- `grm list-runners` — list all runners from the local registry
+
+### Runner Registry
+
+- Runners are tracked in `~/.config/grm/runners.toml` for simplified CLI usage
+- No need to specify `--url`, `--user`, `--key` for every command — the registry remembers
+
+### Multi-Instance Support
+
+- systemd template units (`gitea-runner@.service`) for running multiple runners per host
+- Per-instance config and data directories
+
+### Ansible Role Improvements
+
+- Parameterized all hardcoded configuration values as Ansible variables
+- Idempotence fixes for repeated runs
+- Runner config converted from TOML to YAML format
+- Registration timeout to prevent indefinite hangs
+- Docker container entrypoint override and working directory fix for `.runner` persistence
+

-
-## Commit Convention & Branch Naming
-
-This project uses **conventional commits** and **GRM-N branch prefixes**. See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the full workflow.
-
-| What | Format | Example |
-|------|--------|---------|
-| Branch name | `GRM-N-short-description` | `GRM-33-add-pr-review-step` |
-| Branch commits | `<conventional commit>` | `feat: add review script` |
-| PR title | `GRM-N: <vikunja task title>` | `GRM-33: Add mandatory PR review step` |
-| Merge commit | `GRM-N <conventional commit>` | `GRM-33 feat: add review script` |
-
-### PR Workflow
-
-Every change to master goes through a mandatory review workflow:
-
-1. **Create Vikunja task** — get a `GRM-N` identifier
-2. **Create branch** — `GRM-N-short-description`
-3. **Implement** — write code, tests (100% coverage), update docs
-4. **Commit** — conventional commits (no `GRM-N:` prefix on branch)
-5. **Push & create PR** — title: `GRM-N: <vikunja task title>`
-6. **Review** — review the full diff focusing on: functional completeness, edge cases, technical excellence (architecture, SRP, deduplication, code smells, best practices, code quality, reusability, clean code, readability, maintainability, extensibility), performance, security, UX, documentation completeness/relevance. Post review comments via `scripts/review_pr.py`.
-7. **Address comments** — fix each comment, commit, push, re-review
-8. **Approve** — post an `APPROVE` review via `scripts/review_pr.py`
-9. **Add `ready-to-merge` label** — auto-merge workflow squash-merges with title `GRM-N <conventional commit message>`, post-merge workflow marks the Vikunja task as done, release workflow automatically versions and tags
-
-### Automated Versioning & Releases
-
-Versioning is fully automated using [git-cliff](https://git-cliff.org):
-
-1. **After merge to master** — the release workflow runs `scripts/release.py`
-2. **git-cliff calculates the next version** from conventional commits since the last tag
-3. **Version file is updated** (`__init__.py`) and a `chore(release): prepare for vX.Y.Z` commit is created
-4. **An annotated tag `vX.Y.Z`** is pushed with the changelog as the tag message
-5. **The publish workflow triggers** on the tag — builds the package, optionally publishes to PyPI, and creates a Gitea release with generated release notes
-
-| Commit type | Version bump |
-|-------------|-------------|
-| `feat:` | minor |
-| `fix:` | patch |
-| `feat!:` / `BREAKING CHANGE` | minor (pre-1.0) |
-| `chore:`, `ci:`, `docs:` | no bump |
-
-`grm --version` reports the current version from `__init__.py`.

-## Features
-
-- **Simple and focused** — no unnecessary features.
-- **Secure** — no hardcoded secrets, uses scoped tokens.
-- **Idempotent** — can be run multiple times safely.
-- **Flexible** — accepts a plain IP address or hostname, and allows specifying the SSH user and private key.
-- **Runner registry** — stores runner connection metadata locally after installation. Subsequent commands need only the runner name.
-- **Lifecycle management** — start, stop, enable, disable, status, and remove runners via CLI.
-- **Multi-instance** — run multiple isolated runners on the same host, each with its own system user, rootless Docker daemon, data directory, and systemd user service.
-- **Rootless Docker** — each runner gets its own rootless Docker daemon, avoiding conflicts with the host's Docker installation and enabling true parallel execution.
-- **Systemd-managed** — runners run as systemd user services (`gitea-runner.service`) under dedicated per-runner system users.
-
-## Supported Operating Systems
-
-- Arch Linux
-- Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04
-- Debian 12
-
-All supported OSes are tested in CI via molecule scenarios on every PR.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- **SSH key authentication** — The remote host must be reachable via SSH using the user specified with `--user` and the private key specified with `--key`. GRM uses Ansible under the hood, which connects to the target host over SSH to execute all installation and configuration tasks. Without valid SSH credentials, Ansible cannot establish a connection and the deployment will fail.
-- **Sudo access** — GRM requires root privileges on the remote host to create system users, install packages, and configure rootless Docker. By default, you will be prompted interactively for the sudo password. For automation or uninterrupted workflows, configure passwordless sudo on the remote host and pass `--no-ask-become-pass`.

-`GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` is the runner registration token obtained from your Gitea instance (Admin → Actions → Runners → Create Registration Token).
-
-#### Admin API Token (optional)
-
-Set `GITEA_ADMIN_TOKEN` to enable informational API checks during integration test. This is **optional** — the test primarily verifies the runner by checking:
-
-1. **`.runner` registration file** exists and contains valid JSON (proves successful registration)
-2. **Systemd user service** is active (proves daemon is polling for jobs)
-
-API checks, if enabled, are purely informational and do not affect pass/fail.
-
-### Install a Runner
-
-Using the CLI (you will be prompted for the sudo password by default):
-
-```bash
+cp .env.example .env  # Edit with your Gitea URL and tokens
 grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 --name prod-runner
 ```
 
-> **Automation tip:** Configure passwordless sudo on the remote host and pass `--no-ask-become-pass` to skip the password prompt. This is recommended for CI/CD pipelines.
+> **Important:** Always checkout the latest release tag before running `make setup`. The `master` branch may contain unreleased changes that are not yet stable. The command above automatically selects the most recent tagged release.
 
-Using Make:
+> **Tokens:** You need two tokens from your Gitea instance — a **registration token** to register runners, and an **admin API token** for optional post-install verification. See [Getting Started](https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm/wiki/Getting-Started.-) for detailed setup instructions.
 
-```bash
-make install HOST=192.168.1.10 USER=ubuntu KEY=~/.ssh/id_ed25519 NAME=prod-runner
-```
+## Documentation
 
-### Runner Registry
+Full documentation lives on the [**GRM Wiki**](https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm/wiki).
 
-After installation, GRM stores each runner's connection details (host, user, SSH key, Gitea URL) in a local JSON registry at `~/.local/share/grm/runners.json`. This means you rarely need to repeat connection arguments:

-### Manage Runner Lifecycle
+### Technical Documentation
 
-Once a runner is installed, lifecycle commands work by runner name only:
-
-```bash
-# Start a runner
-grm start prod-runner
-
-# Stop a runner
-grm stop prod-runner
-
-# Enable a runner to start on boot
-grm enable prod-runner
-
-# Disable a runner (stops, deregisters, and disables systemd)
-grm disable prod-runner --token <token>
-
-# Check runner status
-grm status prod-runner
-
-# Remove a runner completely
-grm remove prod-runner --token <token>
-```
-
-You can override any stored value by passing the corresponding flag:
-
-```bash
-grm start prod-runner --host 192.168.1.11 --user root
-```
-
-> **Automation tip:** If the remote host has passwordless sudo configured, pass `--no-ask-become-pass`.
-
-### Multiple Instances on the Same Host
-
-Each runner instance is fully isolated with its own system user, rootless Docker daemon, data directory, and systemd user service:
-
-```bash
-# Install two runners on the same host
-grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --name workflow-runner
-grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --name build-runner
-
-# Manage them independently by name
-grm stop workflow-runner
-grm status build-runner
-```
-
-### Verify Runner
-
-The installer performs an automated integration test that verifies:
-
-1. **`.runner` file exists** with valid JSON containing `id`, `uuid`, `token`, `address` — this proves successful registration with Gitea
-2. **Systemd user service is active** — this proves the daemon is polling for jobs
-
-You can also check the Gitea UI under **Actions → Runners** to confirm the runner appears as **Online**.
-
-Optional: If `GITEA_ADMIN_TOKEN` is set, the installer will also query the Gitea API and report whether the runner appears in the admin or repo runners list. This is purely informational.
-
-### View Logs
-
-**GRM application logs** (Python CLI output):
-
-```bash
-# Application log file (all messages including DEBUG)
-cat ~/.local/state/grm/logs/grm.log
-
-# Enable debug logging in the current session
-GRM_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --name prod-runner
-```
-
-**Runner logs** (on the remote host):
-
-```bash
-# Runner logs (via systemd user service)
-sudo -u grm-<name> journalctl --user -u gitea-runner -f
-```
-
-The GRM application writes to two destinations:
-
-| Destination | Level | Content |
-|-------------|-------|---------|
-| Console (stdout) | `GRM_LOG_LEVEL` (default: INFO) | Colorised user-facing messages and operation reports |
-| `~/.local/state/grm/logs/grm.log` | DEBUG | All messages with timestamps and severity |
-
-Set `GRM_LOG_LEVEL` to one of `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, or `CRITICAL` to control console verbosity. The log file always captures everything at DEBUG level regardless of the console setting.
-
-Console output is automatically colorised via ``click.echo``: operation headers in bright cyan, completed steps in green, failures in red, and status updates in yellow.
-
-## Architecture
-
-GRM consists of two layers:
-
-1. **Python CLI** (`src/gitea_runner_manager/`) — built with Click, handles argument parsing, environment loading, i18n translations, and delegates to Ansible via the `ansible-playbook` subprocess.
-2. **Ansible Role** (`ansible/roles/gitea-runner/`) — idempotent role that creates a dedicated system user, sets up rootless Docker, installs the runner binary, creates a systemd user service, and registers the runner with Gitea.
-
-```
-grm install <host>
-  └── RunnerManager.install()
-      └── ansible-playbook ansible/install-runner.yml
-          └── role: gitea-runner
-              ├── user_setup.yml       (create per-runner system user + lingering)
-              ├── rootless_docker.yml  (rootless Docker setup under runner user)
-              ├── install_runner.yml   (download binary, config, register, service)
-              ├── prune.yml            (Docker prune timer)
-              └── integration_test.yml (validate service is active)
-```
-
-Each runner runs as a systemd user service under a dedicated system user (`grm-<name>`). Each instance has fully isolated resources:
-
-- **User**: `grm-<name>` (dedicated system user with lingering enabled)
-- **Home**: `/home/grm-<name>/`
-- **Data**: `/var/lib/gitea-runner/<name>/`
-- **Config**: `/etc/gitea-runner/<name>/`
-- **Service**: `gitea-runner.service` (systemd user service)
-- **Docker socket**: `/run/user/<UID>/docker.sock` (rootless, per-runner)
-

-
-### Setup Development Environment
-
-```bash
-make setup        # Creates venv, installs deps, sets up hooks
-source .venv/bin/activate
-```
-
-### Running Linters
-
-```bash
-make lint          # Python (ruff + pyright + bandit)
-make lint-bandit   # Security scan only
-make ansible-lint  # Ansible
-make makefile-lint # Makefile
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-```bash
-make test-unit
-```
-
-Runs pytest with 100% coverage requirement.
-
-### Molecule Tests
-
-```bash
-make molecule      # Quick: all 6 scenarios on Ubuntu 22.04
-make molecule-all  # Full: all 6 scenarios on all 4 supported OSes
-```
-
-Runs six scenarios:
-
-- **default** — Rootless Docker runner installation
-- **multi-instance** — Two isolated runner instances on the same host
-- **lifecycle** — Stop, disable, re-enable, and start sequence
-- **template-content** — Verify rendered systemd user service and prune templates
-- **deregister** — Runner deregistration
-- **update** — Runner binary update
-
-All scenarios test idempotence (second run produces zero changes).
-
-CI runs all 6 scenarios × 4 platforms (24 test pairs) distributed across 3 parallel runners.
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-```bash
-make test-integration
-```
-
-Tests the full CLI lifecycle commands end-to-end ( mocked executor boundary).
-
-### Full Test Suite
-
-```bash
-make test-all      # Runs unit tests + linters + molecule
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Event loop is closed" warning
-
-This is a harmless cleanup traceback from Molecule's Docker driver when the test process is interrupted. It does not indicate a test failure.
-
-### Runner appears offline after installation
-
-- Check that the `GITEA_URL` and `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` environment variables are correct.
-- Verify the runner service is running: `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`.
-- Check logs for registration errors.
-
-### Integration test fails
-
-The test checks two things:
-
-1. **`.runner` file missing or invalid** — Registration failed. Check:
-   - `GITEA_URL` and `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` are correct
-   - Runner logs for registration errors
-   - The `.runner` file should exist at `/var/lib/gitea-runner/<name>/.runner`
-
-2. **Service not running** — Daemon failed to start. Check:
-   - `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`
-   - Logs for connection errors
-
-### Rootless Docker: service fails to start
-
-- Check the service status: `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`.
-- Verify the rootless Docker daemon is running: `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status docker`.
-- Verify the Docker socket exists: `ls /run/user/$(id -u grm-<name>)/docker.sock`.
-- Check logs: `sudo -u grm-<name> journalctl --user -u gitea-runner -f`.
-- Ensure lingering is enabled for the runner user: `loginctl show-user grm-<name> | grep Linger`.

+# Review Checklist
+
+This checklist is **mandatory** for every PR. The automated `pr-review` CI
+job checks items marked **[auto]**. The agent must verify all items
+marked **[manual]** before posting an APPROVE review.
+
+The `review_pr.py` script requires `--checklist-confirmed` for APPROVE
+events. This flag attests that every category below has been reviewed.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Architecture Compliance [auto + manual]
+
+- [ ] **No business logic in CLI** (`cli.py`): no `subprocess`, no
+      `os.system`, no `ansible-playbook` — delegate to `executor.py`
+- [ ] **No hardcoded URLs or config values** that belong in `config.py`
+      with env var overrides
+- [ ] **Layer boundaries respected**: CLI → runner_manager → executor →
+      subprocess/Ansible. No skipping layers.
+- [ ] **Single Responsibility**: each module/function has one reason to
+      change. If a function does two things, split it.
+- [ ] **No circular imports** introduced
+
+## 2. Code Quality and Best Practices [auto + manual]
+
+- [ ] **No `print()`** in `src/` — use `click.echo()` for user output
+- [ ] **No bare `except:`** — catch specific exceptions
+- [ ] **No broad `except Exception:`** without justification
+- [ ] **No `TODO`/`FIXME`/`HACK`/`XXX`** left in merged code
+- [ ] **No functions > 50 lines** (excluding docstrings and decorators)
+- [ ] **No dead code** — unused imports, unreachable branches, commented-out code
+- [ ] **No copy-paste duplication** — extract shared logic into a helper
+- [ ] **Idiomatic Python** — use comprehensions, context managers, dataclasses
+- [ ] **Type hints** on all public functions
+
+## 3. Security [auto + manual]
+
+- [ ] **No hardcoded secrets** (tokens, passwords, keys in string literals)
+- [ ] **No `shell=True`** in subprocess calls — use argument lists
+- [ ] **No `eval()` or `exec()`** — use `ast.literal_eval` if parsing literals
+- [ ] **No secrets in logs or process arguments** — pass via env vars or files
+- [ ] **Input validation** on all external inputs (CLI args, API responses, file contents)
+- [ ] **No injection vectors** — parameterize subprocess args, SQL queries, etc.
+
+## 4. Internationalization (i18n) [manual]
+
+- [ ] **All user-facing strings wrapped in `_()`** — `click.echo(_("..."))`,
+      error messages, help text, prompts
+- [ ] **No raw English strings** in `click.echo()`, `click.ClickException()`,
+      or `raise` messages visible to users
+- [ ] **String interpolation uses named placeholders**: `_("Hello {name}", name=x)`
+      not `f"Hello {x}"` for translatable strings
+
+## 5. Testability and Test Coverage [auto + manual]
+
+- [ ] **Source file changes include corresponding test updates**
+- [ ] **100% coverage maintained** (enforced by `pytest-cov`)
+- [ ] **Tests are fast** (< 10 seconds total, enforced by `check_test_speed.py`)
+- [ ] **Edge cases tested**: empty inputs, boundary values, error paths
+- [ ] **No flaky tests** — no `sleep()`, no race conditions, no external dependencies
+- [ ] **Test names describe the scenario**: `test_<condition>_<expected_result>`
+
+## 6. Performance [manual]
+
+- [ ] **No unnecessary allocations** in hot paths (list comprehensions vs generators)
+- [ ] **Correct data structures** — O(1) lookups use `set`/`dict`, not `list`
+- [ ] **No N+1 query patterns** in API calls or file I/O
+- [ ] **No blocking I/O on hot paths** without justification
+
+## 7. User Experience [manual]
+
+- [ ] **Clear error messages** — tell the user what went wrong and how to fix it
+- [ ] **Consistent CLI flag naming** — `--long-name` with `--short` aliases
+- [ ] **Help text on all commands and options** — `--help` should be useful
+- [ ] **No silent failures** — if something fails, the user should know
+- [ ] **Output is actionable** — not just "Error" but "Error: X failed because Y. Try Z."
+
+## 8. Documentation [auto + manual]
+
+- [ ] **Source changes include doc updates** — README, wiki, AGENTS.md as needed
+- [ ] **New functions/classes have docstrings** — Google style
+- [ ] **Public API changes documented** in CHANGELOG (auto-generated by git-cliff)
+- [ ] **AGENTS.md updated** if workflow, conventions, or processes changed
+- [ ] **No stale documentation** — if code changed, docs must reflect it
+
+## 9. Workflow Compliance [manual]
+
+- [ ] **PR title matches Vikunja task title** (`GRM-N: <task title>`)
+- [ ] **Commit messages follow conventional format** (`type: description`)
+- [ ] **No force-push after review** — creates new commits and re-trigger CI
+- [ ] **Branch is up to date** with master before merging
+- [ ] **No merge commits** in the PR branch — use squash merge via auto-merge
+
+## 10. Extensibility and Maintainability [manual]
+
+- [ ] **Open/Closed Principle** — code is open for extension, closed for modification
+- [ ] **No magic numbers** — constants are named and documented
+- [ ] **Configuration over hardcoding** — use `config.py` with env var overrides
+- [ ] **Future-proof error handling** — don't catch specific error messages that may change
+- [ ] **Dependencies are justified** — no new dependency without rationale

+# GRM — Gitea Runner Manager
+
+A lean command-line tool to automate the installation, configuration, and lifecycle management of Gitea Actions runners on Arch Linux, Ubuntu, and Debian hosts.
+
+> **Pronunciation:** GRM is short for *Gitea Runner Manager*, but say it like **ГРЪМ** (roughly "GRUM") — the Bulgarian word for **thunder**. An open-source project from **Oblachno** (облачно means *cloudy* in Bulgarian).

+# Architecture
+
+GRM consists of two layers:
+
+1. **Python CLI** (`src/gitea_runner_manager/`) — built with Click, handles argument parsing, environment loading, i18n translations, and delegates to Ansible via the `ansible-playbook` subprocess.
+2. **Ansible Role** (`ansible/roles/gitea-runner/`) — idempotent role that creates a dedicated system user, sets up rootless Docker, installs the runner binary, creates a systemd user service, and registers the runner with Gitea.
+
+## Component Tree
+
+```
+grm install <host>
+  └── RunnerManager.install()
+      └── ansible-playbook ansible/install-runner.yml
+          └── role: gitea-runner
+              ├── user_setup.yml       (create per-runner system user + lingering)
+              ├── rootless_docker.yml  (rootless Docker setup under runner user)
+              ├── install_runner.yml   (download binary, config, register, service)
+              ├── prune.yml            (Docker prune timer)
+              └── integration_test.yml (validate service is active)
+```
+
+The Ansible role task execution order (from `AGENTS.md`):
+
+```
+main.yml → systemd_check → user_setup → rootless_docker → install_runner → prune → integration_test
+```
+
+- `install_runner.yml` handles: download, config, validate, register, service
+- `main.yml` handles: prune, integration_test (NOT install_runner — avoids duplicates)
+- `systemctl --user` tasks must be guarded by `docker_rootless_setup`
+- Template creation tasks are NOT guarded by `docker_rootless_setup` (they just create files)
+
+## Per-Runner Isolation
+
+Each runner runs as a systemd user service under a dedicated system user (`grm-<name>`). Each instance has fully isolated resources:
+
+- **User**: `grm-<name>` (dedicated system user with lingering enabled)
+- **Home**: `/home/grm-<name>/`
+- **Data**: `/var/lib/gitea-runner/<name>/`
+- **Config**: `/etc/gitea-runner/<name>/`
+- **Service**: `gitea-runner.service` (systemd user service)
+- **Docker socket**: `/run/user/<UID>/docker.sock` (rootless, per-runner)

+## Additional Components
+
+From `AGENTS.md`, the project also includes:
+
+- **CI Scripts** (`scripts/`) — Automation for auto-merge, post-merge, release, publishing, molecule distribution, PR reviews, failure notifications
+- **Versioning** (`cliff.toml`) — git-cliff configuration for automated semver versioning from conventional commits
+
+## Python Modules
+
+The Python CLI layer (`src/gitea_runner_manager/`) consists of the following modules:
+
+| Module | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `cli.py` | Click-based CLI entry point — defines all commands (install, update, start, stop, enable, disable, status, remove, list) |
+| `runner_manager.py` | Ansible orchestration + registry integration — delegates to executor and manages runner lifecycle |
+| `executor.py` | Ansible subprocess execution — runs `ansible-playbook` with extra-vars via temp JSON files |
+| `registry.py` | Local JSON runner registry at `~/.local/share/grm/runners.json` — stores connection metadata |
+| `i18n.py` | Internationalization translations (en, bg, de, ru, zh) |
+| `exceptions.py` | Custom exceptions (`GRMError`, `APIError`) |
+| `api_clients.py` | Gitea and Vikunja API client classes for CI automation scripts |
+| `config.py` | Configuration constants (API URLs, repo owner/name, project IDs) — overridable via environment variables |

+# CI/CD Workflow
+
+Every change to master goes through a mandatory PR workflow. No exceptions.
+
+## PR Workflow
+
+### 1. Create Vikunja Task
+
+Create a task in Vikunja project 6 to get a `GRM-N` identifier.
+
+### 2. Create Branch
+
+```bash
+git checkout master && git pull
+git checkout -b GRM-N-short-description
+```
+
+### 3. Implement Changes
+
+- Write code following conventions
+- Write/update tests (100% coverage required)
+- Update documentation (CHANGELOG, README, AGENTS.md as needed)
+
+### 4. Commit (Conventional Commits)
+
+Branch commits use conventional commit format (no `GRM-N:` prefix):
+
+```
+feat: add new feature
+fix: resolve bug
+docs: update README
+```
+
+### 5. Push and Create PR
+
+- **PR title format**: `GRM-N: <vikunja task title>` (must match the Vikunja task title exactly)
+- PR body: summary of changes, `Closes GRM-N`
+- Add `ready-to-merge` label **only after review is complete**
+
+### 6. Review the PR (Mandatory — Before Adding ready-to-merge Label)
+
+Review the full diff (`git diff master...HEAD`) focusing on:
+
+- **Functional completeness**: Does the code do what it claims? Are all requirements met?
+- **Edge cases**: Are boundary conditions, empty inputs, error paths handled?
+- **Technical excellence**:
+  - Architecture compliance and evolution
+  - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
+  - Deduplication (no copy-paste, single source of truth)
+  - Code smells detection and removal
+  - Best industry practices
+  - Industry-grade code quality
+  - Reusability
+  - Clean code
+  - Readability
+  - Maintainability
+  - Extensibility
+- **Performance**: No unnecessary allocations, O(n) vs O(n²), efficient data structures
+- **Security**: No secrets in logs/process list, input validation, no injection vectors
+- **User experience**: Clear error messages, intuitive CLI flags, helpful output
+- **Documentation**: Completeness and relevance of docs, CHANGELOG entries, AGENTS.md updates
+
+Post review comments using `scripts/ci/review_pr.py`:
+
+```bash
+REPO_TOKEN=<token> python3 scripts/ci/review_pr.py <pr_number> <owner/repo> \
+  --event REQUEST_CHANGES \
+  --body "Review summary" \
+  --comments-json comments.json
+```
+
+### 7. Address Review Comments
+
+Fix each comment one by one, commit, and push. Re-review until satisfied.
+
+### 8. Approve and Merge
+
+Once all comments are addressed:
+
+```bash
+REPO_TOKEN=<token> python3 scripts/ci/review_pr.py <pr_number> <owner/repo> \
+  --event APPROVE \
+  --body "All comments addressed. LGTM."
+```
+
+Then add the `ready-to-merge` label. The auto-merge workflow will:
+
+1. **Validate** PR title format and match against Vikunja task title
+2. **Check** that at least one APPROVE review exists
+3. Wait for all CI checks to pass
+4. Squash-merge with title: `GRM-N <conventional commit message>` (space-separated)
+5. The post-merge workflow marks the Vikunja task as done
+6. The release workflow automatically versions, tags, and publishes
+
+### 9. Post-Merge Automation
+
+After the squash-merge:
+
+- The **post-merge workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/post-merge.yml`) triggers on push to `master` and runs `scripts/ci/post_merge.py` to mark the Vikunja task as done, extracting the task ID from the merge commit message.
+- The **release workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`) triggers on push to `master` and automatically versions, tags, and publishes (see below).
+
+## Branch Protection (Required Gitea Settings)
+
+Configure the following branch protection rules for `master` in Gitea repo settings:
+
+- **Require pull request**: No direct pushes to master
+- **Require approval review**: At least 1 `APPROVE` review before merge
+- **Require status checks**: CI quality + molecule tests must pass
+- **Block force pushes**: No history rewriting on master
+
+The auto-merge workflow enforces the APPROVE review check programmatically as a defense-in-depth measure, but branch protection is the primary gate.
+
+## CI Path Filtering
+
+The CI workflow (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`) includes a `detect-changes` job that checks whether any files under `ansible/` or `.ansible-lint` have changed. If no Ansible files are changed, molecule tests are skipped — this prevents non-Ansible changes (e.g., Python scripts, workflow YAML, docs) from being blocked by molecule test infrastructure flakiness.
+
+The `detect-changes` job:
+
+- For pull requests: compares `origin/master` against the PR head SHA
+- For pushes to master: compares `HEAD~1` against `HEAD`
+- Outputs `ansible-changed` as `true` or `false`
+
+The `molecule-tests` job depends on both `quality` and `detect-changes`, and only runs if `ansible-changed == 'true'`.
+
+CI triggers only on `opened` and `synchronize` PR events (not `labeled`).
+
+## CI Quality Job
+
+The `quality` job in `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` runs:
+
+1. `make setup` — full environment setup
+2. `make lint-all` — ruff + pyright + bandit + ansible-lint + checkmake
+3. `make pytest-cov` — unit tests with 100% coverage enforcement
+4. `python3 scripts/check_test_speed.py --max-seconds 10` — verify unit tests run fast
+5. `PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/ci/release.py --dry-run` — release dry-run validation
+
+## Automated Release Pipeline
+
+After a PR is merged to master, the release pipeline runs automatically.
+
+### Release Workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`)
+
+- Triggers on push to `master`
+- Sets up full dev environment (`make setup`) so lint and tests can run
+- Installs git-cliff (version 2.13.0)
+- Configures git as `grm-ci-bot`
+- Runs `scripts/ci/release.py` which uses **git-cliff** to:
+  - Calculate the next semver version from conventional commits since the last tag
+  - Update `__version__` in `src/gitea_runner_manager/__init__.py` (single source of truth)
+  - Update `CHANGELOG.md` with the new version section
+  - **Run `make lint-ruff` and `make pytest-cov`** to verify the release is healthy
+  - If lint or tests fail, **abort immediately** — no commit, no tag
+  - Commit with `release: vX.Y.Z` prefix (cleaner than `chore(release):`)
+  - Create an annotated tag `vX.Y.Z` on the release commit
+  - Push both the commit and tag to master
+- `--skip-tests` flag bypasses test verification (emergency use only, not recommended)
+- Loops are prevented by `has_unreleased_changes` — after a release commit is tagged, the next run finds no unreleased changes and exits
+- On failure, creates a Gitea issue via `scripts/ci/notify_failure.py`
+
+### Publish Workflow (`.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`)
+
+- Triggers on tag push (`v*`)
+- Installs git-cliff (version 2.13.0)
+- Installs build tools (`build`, `twine`, `requests`, `python-dotenv`, `click`)
+- Validates `PYPI_TOKEN` is set (warns if missing)
+- Builds the Python package
+- Optionally publishes to PyPI (if `PYPI_TOKEN` is set)
+- Creates a Gitea release with git-cliff-generated release notes
+- Uses `scripts/ci/publish.py` for build and publish orchestration
+- On failure, creates a Gitea issue via `scripts/ci/notify_failure.py`
+
+### Auto-Merge Workflow (`.gitea/workflows/auto-merge.yml`)
+
+- Triggers on `pull_request` labeled events
+- Runs `scripts/ci/auto_merge.py` with the branch name, PR title, repository, PR number, and label name
+- Validates PR title format, checks for APPROVE review, waits for CI, and squash-merges
+
+### Post-Merge Workflow (`.gitea/workflows/post-merge.yml`)
+
+- Triggers on push to `master`
+- Runs `scripts/ci/post_merge.py` with the latest commit message and commit SHA
+- Marks the corresponding Vikunja task as done
+
+### Smart CI: User-Facing vs Workflow-Only Changes
+
+Not all changes require the full CI pipeline or a new release. The project uses
+`scripts/ci/classify_changes.py` to classify changed files into two categories:
+
+**User-facing paths** (tool changes → release needed):
+- `src/gitea_runner_manager/**` — Python CLI source
+- `ansible/**` — Ansible role
+- `pyproject.toml` — Package metadata
+
+**Workflow-only paths** (infrastructure → no release needed):
+- `.gitea/workflows/**`, `scripts/**`, `docs/**`, `tests/**`
+- `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `Makefile`, `cliff.toml`, etc.
+
+**CI behavior based on classification:**
+- **Molecule tests**: Only run when `ansible/` or `.ansible-lint` files change
+- **Release dry-run**: Only runs when user-facing files change (separate `release-dry-run` job)
+- **Quality job** (lint, unit tests, coverage, doc-coverage): Always runs
+- **Release workflow**: `release.py` calls `classify_changes.py` to check if any
+  user-facing files changed since the last tag. If not, the release is skipped
+  entirely — no version bump, no tag, no publish.
+
+### Dynamic Runner Discovery
+
+Molecule tests are distributed across available Gitea Actions runners
+dynamically. The `discover-runners` job runs `scripts/ci/discover_runners.py` which queries the Gitea API for
+registered runners at three levels (repo, org, instance) and generates
+a matrix of runner indices. If the API query fails (e.g., no admin
+access for instance-level runners), it falls back to the
+`MOLECULE_RUNNERS` repo variable, then to a default of 3.
+
+The `molecule-tests` job uses `fromJSON()` to consume the dynamic
+matrix, and passes the runner count to `distribute_molecule.py
+--max-runners` so test pairs are evenly distributed.
+
+When adding or removing Gitea runners:
+1. If runners are registered at the repo/org level, they're auto-detected
+2. If runners are at the instance level, update the `MOLECULE_RUNNERS` repo variable
+3. The workflow automatically scales the matrix to match available runners
+
+### Molecule Test Distribution
+
+`scripts/ci/distribute_molecule.py` discovers all molecule scenarios
+under `ansible/roles/*/molecule/` and crosses them with the supported
+OS platform matrix (defined in `scripts/ci/platforms.py`), then splits
+the resulting test pairs evenly across the requested number of runners.
+Each pair is encoded as `scenario|platform_name|platform_image|platform_command`.
+
+`scripts/ci/molecule_ci_guard.py` runs the actual molecule test for a
+given test pair, with CI context (Gitea URL, token, run ID) for
+reporting results back to the commit status API.
+
+### Commit Message Validation
+
+`scripts/ci/validate_commit_msg.py` validates that commit messages
+follow the conventional commit format (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, etc.).
+It is used by the pre-commit hook to enforce conventional commits on
+feature branches.
+
+### Release Commit Detection
+
+The `detect-type` job in the post-merge workflow runs
+`scripts/ci/detect_release_commit.py` to check whether the latest commit
+is a release commit (format: `release: vX.Y.Z`). When a release commit
+is detected, all post-merge jobs (release, sync-wiki, badges, vikunja)
+are skipped — the tag push triggers the publish workflow instead.
+
+### Badge Generation and Push
+
+The `badges` job in the post-merge workflow runs
+`scripts/ci/push_badges.py` which:
+1. Fetches the latest master and hard-resets to it (picks up release commits)
+2. Generates quality badge SVG files via `scripts/generate_badges.py`
+3. Creates an orphan `badges` branch
+4. Copies SVG files to the branch root
+5. Force-pushes the branch to the remote
+
+The badges job depends on the `release` job and uses `if: always()` so it
+runs even if release fails or is skipped. This ensures the version badge
+always reflects the actual state of the repository after any release
+commits have been pushed.
+
+## git-cliff Commit Preprocessing
+
+Merge commits on master have the format `GRM-N <conventional commit>`. The `GRM-N ` prefix is not a valid conventional commit prefix, so `cliff.toml` includes a `commit_preprocessors` entry that strips it before parsing:
+
+```toml
+commit_preprocessors = [
+    # Strip GRM-N task ID prefix from merge commits so git-cliff sees conventional commits
+    { pattern = "^GRM-\\d+\\s+", replace = "" },
+]
+```
+
+This ensures all merged work appears in the changelog.
+
+### git-cliff Configuration Highlights (`cliff.toml`)
+
+- `conventional_commits = true` — parse conventional commit format
+- `filter_unconventional = true` — skip non-conventional commits
+- `render_always = true` — always render the changelog
+- `trim = true` — trim whitespace
+- Commit parsers group commits into: Features, Bug Fixes, Documentation, Performance, Refactor, Styling, Testing, Miscellaneous Tasks, Security, Revert, Other
+- `chore(release): prepare for`, `chore(deps.*)`, `chore(pr)`, `chore(pull)` commits are skipped
+- `sort_commits = "oldest"` — oldest commits first
+
+## Version Bumping Rules (git-cliff)
+
+| Commit type | Version bump |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| `feat:` | minor (0.X.0) |
+| `fix:` | patch (0.0.X) |
+| `feat!:` or `BREAKING CHANGE` | minor (pre-1.0: major would be 1.0.0) |
+| `chore:`, `ci:`, `docs:` | no bump (excluded by cliff.toml) |
+
+From `cliff.toml` `[bump]` section:
+
+- `features_always_bump_minor = true`
+- `breaking_always_bump_major = false`
+- `initial_tag = "0.1.0"`
+
+The version source is `__version__` in `src/gitea_runner_manager/__init__.py`, read by setuptools via `dynamic = ["version"]` in `pyproject.toml`. The release script only updates `__init__.py` — no need to touch `pyproject.toml`. `grm --version` reports this version.
+
+## Title Format Summary
+
+| What | Format | Example |
+|------|--------|---------|
+| Branch name | `GRM-N-short-description` | `GRM-33-add-pr-review-step` |
+| Branch commits | `<conventional commit>` | `feat: add review script` |
+| PR title | `GRM-N: <vikunja task title>` | `GRM-33: Add mandatory PR review step` |
+| Merge commit | `GRM-N <conventional commit>` | `GRM-33 feat: add review script` |

+## PR Workflow Summary
+
+Every change to master goes through this workflow. No exceptions.
+
+1. **Create Vikunja task** — get a `GRM-N` identifier (Vikunja project 6)
+2. **Create branch** — `GRM-N-short-description`
+3. **Implement** — write code, tests (100% coverage), update docs
+4. **Commit** — conventional commits (no `GRM-N:` prefix on branch)
+5. **Push & create PR** — title: `GRM-N: <vikunja task title>`, body: summary + `Closes GRM-N`
+6. **Review** — review the full diff focusing on: functional completeness, edge cases, technical excellence (architecture, SRP, deduplication, code smells, best practices, code quality, reusability, clean code, readability, maintainability, extensibility), performance, security, UX, documentation completeness/relevance. Post review comments via `scripts/review_pr.py`.
+7. **Address comments** — fix each comment, commit, push, re-review
+8. **Approve** — post an `APPROVE` review via `scripts/review_pr.py`
+9. **Add `ready-to-merge` label** — auto-merge workflow squash-merges with title `GRM-N <conventional commit message>`, post-merge workflow marks the Vikunja task as done, release workflow automatically versions and tags
+
+### Branch Protection (Required Gitea Settings)
+
+Configure the following branch protection rules for `master` in Gitea repo settings:
+
+- **Require pull request**: No direct pushes to master
+- **Require approval review**: At least 1 `APPROVE` review before merge
+- **Require status checks**: CI quality + molecule tests must pass
+- **Block force pushes**: No history rewriting on master
+
+The auto-merge workflow enforces the APPROVE review check programmatically as a defense-in-depth measure, but branch protection is the primary gate.
+
+## Build & Test Commands
+
+```bash
+make setup          # Create venv, install deps, set up hooks
+make lint-all       # ruff + pyright + bandit + ansible-lint + checkmake
+make pytest-cov     # Unit tests with 100% coverage enforcement
+make test-unit      # Unit tests without coverage
+make molecule       # All 6 scenarios on Ubuntu 22.04
+make molecule-all   # All 6 scenarios on all 4 supported OSes
+make test-all       # pytest-cov + molecule
+```
+
+## Ansible Role Conventions
+
+```
+main.yml → systemd_check → user_setup → rootless_docker → install_runner → prune → integration_test
+```
+
+- `install_runner.yml` handles: download, config, validate, register, service
+- `main.yml` handles: prune, integration_test (NOT install_runner — avoids duplicates)
+- `systemctl --user` tasks must be guarded by `docker_rootless_setup`
+- Template creation tasks are NOT guarded by `docker_rootless_setup` (they just create files)

+# Decision Log
+
+Key technical decisions for the GRM project, extracted from `CHANGELOG.md` and `AGENTS.md`.
+
+---
+
+## ADR-001: Dynamic Versioning via `__init__.py`
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-21 (v0.2.0 unreleased)
+
+**Decision:** Use `dynamic = ["version"]` in `pyproject.toml` with setuptools `attr` to source the version from `__version__` in `src/gitea_runner_manager/__init__.py`.
+
+**Rationale:** `__init__.py` is the single source of truth for the version. The release script (`scripts/release.py`) only updates `__init__.py` — there is no need to touch `pyproject.toml`. `grm --version` reports this version directly. This eliminates version duplication across files and ensures the runtime version always matches the tagged release.
+
+**Source:** `CHANGELOG.md` (Unreleased — Added), `AGENTS.md` (Version Bumping Rules)
+
+---
+
+## ADR-002: Rootless Docker per Runner
+
+**Date:** Project inception (documented in README Architecture)
+
+**Decision:** Each runner instance runs in an isolated rootless Docker environment under a dedicated system user (`grm-<name>`), with its own Docker socket at `/run/user/<UID>/docker.sock`.
+
+**Rationale:** Rootless Docker per-runner avoids conflicts with the host's Docker installation and enables true parallel execution of multiple runners on the same host. Each instance has fully isolated resources: user, home, data directory, config directory, systemd user service, and Docker socket. This is a core feature of GRM — enabling multiple isolated runners on the same host.
+
+**Source:** `README.md` (Architecture, Features), `AGENTS.md` (Architecture)
+
+---
+
+## ADR-003: Conventional Commits + git-cliff for Automated Versioning
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-21 (v0.2.0 unreleased)
+
+**Decision:** Use conventional commits on feature branches and git-cliff (`cliff.toml`) to calculate the next semver version from commit history, generate the changelog, and automate releases.
+
+**Rationale:** `scripts/release.py` uses git-cliff to calculate the next version from conventional commits since the last tag. Merge commits on master have the format `GRM-N <conventional commit>`, so `cliff.toml` includes a `commit_preprocessors` entry that strips the `GRM-N ` prefix before parsing. Version bumping rules: `feat:` → minor, `fix:` → patch, `feat!:`/`BREAKING CHANGE` → minor (pre-1.0), `chore:`/`ci:`/`docs:` → no bump. This fully automates versioning and changelog generation.
+
+**Source:** `CHANGELOG.md` (Unreleased — Added), `AGENTS.md` (Automated Release Pipeline, git-cliff Commit Preprocessing, Version Bumping Rules), `cliff.toml`
+
+---
+
+## ADR-004: Enforce Tests Pass Before Tagging a Release
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-21 (v0.2.2)
+
+**Decision:** The release workflow runs `make lint-ruff` and `make pytest-cov` before creating a release commit or tag. If lint or tests fail, the release aborts immediately — no commit, no tag.
+
+**Rationale:** This ensures every tagged release is healthy. A `--skip-tests` flag exists for emergency use only but is not recommended. This decision was made as a bug fix after identifying that releases could be tagged without verifying test health. Loops are prevented by `has_unreleased_changes` — after a release commit is tagged, the next run finds no unreleased changes and exits.
+
+**Source:** `CHANGELOG.md` (0.2.2 — Bug Fixes: "Enforce tests pass before tagging a release"), `AGENTS.md` (Automated Release Pipeline)
+
+---
+
+## ADR-005: Branch Protection + Auto-Merge Workflow
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-21 (v0.2.0 unreleased)
+
+**Decision:** Require branch protection on `master` (require pull request, require approval review, require status checks, block force pushes) and use an auto-merge workflow that programmatically enforces the APPROVE review check.
+
+**Rationale:** Branch protection is the primary gate — no direct pushes to master, at least 1 APPROVE review before merge, CI quality + molecule tests must pass, and no history rewriting. The auto-merge workflow (`scripts/auto_merge.py`) enforces the APPROVE review check programmatically as a defense-in-depth measure. When the `ready-to-merge` label is added, the workflow validates PR title format, checks for APPROVE review, waits for CI, and squash-merges with title `GRM-N <conventional commit message>`. The post-merge workflow then marks the Vikunja task as done.
+
+**Source:** `CHANGELOG.md` (Unreleased — Added: mandatory PR review step, auto_merge.py), `AGENTS.md` (Branch Protection, PR Workflow step 8)
+
+---
+
+## ADR-006: Path-Based CI Filtering for Molecule Tests
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-21 (v0.2.0 unreleased)
+
+**Decision:** The CI workflow includes a `detect-changes` job that checks whether any files under `ansible/` or `.ansible-lint` have changed. If no Ansible files are changed, molecule tests are skipped.
+
+**Rationale:** This prevents non-Ansible changes (e.g., Python scripts, workflow YAML, docs) from being blocked by molecule test infrastructure flakiness. Molecule tests are only relevant when Ansible files change. The `molecule-tests` job depends on both `quality` and `detect-changes`, and only runs if `ansible-changed == 'true'`. CI triggers only on `opened` and `synchronize` PR events (not `labeled`) to avoid redundant runs.
+
+**Source:** `AGENTS.md` (CI Path Filtering), `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` (detect-changes job)

+
+## Setup Development Environment
+
+```bash
+make setup        # Creates venv, installs deps, sets up hooks
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+The `make setup` target (from the `Makefile`):
+
+- Verifies Python 3.12+ is installed
+- Creates a virtualenv in `.venv`
+- Installs/updates `pip`, `setuptools`, and `wheel`
+- Creates `.env` from `.env.example` if not present
+- Generates shell activation scripts (`activate.sh`, `activate.fish`, `activate.zsh`)
+- Installs `checkmake` via `scripts/install_checkmake.py`
+- Runs `scripts/setup.sh` to install dependencies and hooks
+
+### Developer Quick Start
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.oblachno.oblachno.com/oblachno/gitea-runner-manager.git
+cd gitea-runner-manager
+pyenv install 3.12
+pyenv local 3.12
+make setup
+```
+
+### Configure Gitea Credentials
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env:
+# GITEA_URL=https://git.example.com
+# GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=your-registration-token
+```
+
+`GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` is the runner registration token obtained from your Gitea instance (Admin → Actions → Runners → Create Registration Token).
+
+#### Admin API Token (optional)
+
+Set `GITEA_ADMIN_TOKEN` to enable informational API checks during integration test. This is **optional** — the test primarily verifies the runner by checking:
+
+1. **`.runner` registration file** exists and contains valid JSON (proves successful registration)
+2. **Systemd user service** is active (proves daemon is polling for jobs)
+
+API checks, if enabled, are purely informational and do not affect pass/fail.
+
+## Running Linters
+
+```bash
+make lint          # Python (ruff + pyright + bandit)
+make lint-bandit   # Security scan only
+make ansible-lint  # Ansible
+make makefile-lint # Makefile
+```
+
+The full lint target (`make lint-all`) runs all of the above:
+
+```bash
+make lint-all       # ruff + pyright + bandit + ansible-lint + checkmake
+```
+
+Individual lint targets from the `Makefile`:
+
+| Target | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `lint-ruff` | `ruff check src/ tests/` |
+| `lint-format` | `ruff format --check src/ tests/` |
+| `typecheck` | `pyright` |
+| `lint-bandit` | `bandit -r src/ scripts/` |
+| `ansible-lint` | `ansible-lint ansible/` |
+| `makefile-lint` | `checkmake Makefile` |
+| `lint` | ruff + format check + pyright + bandit |
+| `lint-all` | lint + ansible-lint + makefile-lint |

+# Testing Strategy
+
+## Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+make test-unit
+```
+
+Runs pytest with 100% coverage requirement.
+
+From the `Makefile`:
+
+- `test-unit` — `pytest tests/unit/ -v --no-cov` (unit tests without coverage)
+- `pytest-cov` — `pytest tests/unit/ -v --cov=src/gitea_runner_manager --cov=scripts --cov-report=term-missing --cov-fail-under=100` (unit tests with 100% coverage enforcement)
+
+The coverage requirement is `--cov-fail-under=100` — 100% test coverage is required.
+
+## Molecule Tests
+
+```bash
+make molecule      # Quick: all 6 scenarios on Ubuntu 22.04
+make molecule-all  # Full: all 6 scenarios on all 4 supported OSes
+```
+
+Runs six scenarios:
+
+- **default** — Rootless Docker runner installation
+- **multi-instance** — Two isolated runner instances on the same host
+- **lifecycle** — Stop, disable, re-enable, and start sequence
+- **template-content** — Verify rendered systemd user service and prune templates
+- **deregister** — Runner deregistration
+- **update** — Runner binary update
+
+All scenarios test idempotence (second run produces zero changes).
+
+### Platforms
+
+4 platforms are tested: `ubuntu-2204`, `ubuntu-2404`, `debian-12`, `archlinux`.
+
+The platform list is defined in `scripts/distribute_molecule.py` (single source of truth).
+
+### CI Test Distribution
+
+CI runs all 6 scenarios × 4 platforms (24 test pairs) distributed across 3 parallel runners.
+
+From `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, the `molecule-tests` job uses a matrix of `runner-index: [0, 1, 2]` and calls `scripts/distribute_molecule.py --runner-index <index> --max-runners 3` to discover assigned test pairs, then runs `scripts/molecule_ci_guard.py` with those pairs.
+
+## Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+make test-integration
+```
+
+Tests the full CLI lifecycle commands end-to-end (mocked executor boundary).
+
+From the `Makefile`:
+
+- `test-integration` — `pytest tests/integration/ -v --no-cov`
+
+## Full Test Suite
+
+```bash
+make test-all      # Runs unit tests + linters + molecule
+```
+
+From the `Makefile`:
+
+- `test-all` — `pytest-cov + molecule` (unit tests with coverage + all 6 molecule scenarios on Ubuntu 22.04)
+
+## Build & Test Commands Summary
+
+From `AGENTS.md`:
+
+```bash
+make setup          # Create venv, install deps, set up hooks
+make lint-all       # ruff + pyright + bandit + ansible-lint + checkmake
+make pytest-cov     # Unit tests with 100% coverage enforcement
+make test-unit      # Unit tests without coverage
+make molecule       # All 6 scenarios on Ubuntu 22.04
+make molecule-all   # All 6 scenarios on all 4 supported OSes
+make test-all       # pytest-cov + molecule
+```
+
+## Known Issues
+
+- `ansible-lint` may warn about `command-instead-of-module` for `systemctl --user` calls — this is expected (systemd module doesn't support user services) and skipped in `.ansible-lint`
+- Molecule Docker driver may print "Event loop is closed" warnings on interrupt — harmless

+# FAQ
+
+### How do I obtain the Gitea registration token?
+
+There are three levels of registration tokens, depending on which repositories the runner should serve:
+
+- **Instance-level** — Site Administration → Actions → Runners → Create Registration Token. The runner will handle jobs from all repositories.
+- **Organization-level** — Organization → Settings → Actions → Runners → Create Registration Token. The runner will only handle jobs from repositories in that organization.
+- **Repository-level** — Repository → Settings → Actions → Runners → Create Registration Token. The runner will only handle jobs from that specific repository.
+
+Set the token as `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` in your `.env` file or pass it via `--token` on the command line.
+
+### What is the REPO_TOKEN and do I need it?
+
+`REPO_TOKEN` is a Gitea admin API token used for optional post-install verification. When set, GRM queries the Gitea API after installation to confirm the runner appears in the runner list. This is purely informational — the integration test passes/fails based on the `.runner` file and systemd service, not the API check.
+
+To generate one: Settings → Applications → Generate New Token, with the `admin` scope (or at minimum `read:user`, `read:repository`, `read:admin`).
+
+If you skip it, GRM will still verify the runner correctly — it just won't show the extra API confirmation.
+
+### How do I skip the sudo password prompt for automation?
+
+Configure passwordless sudo on the remote host and pass `--no-ask-become-pass` to the CLI command. This is recommended for CI/CD pipelines.
+
+### Can I run multiple runners on the same host?
+
+Yes. Each runner instance is fully isolated with its own system user (`grm-<name>`), rootless Docker daemon, data directory, and systemd user service. Install additional runners with different `--name` values and manage them independently by name.
+
+### Why does my runner appear offline after installation?
+
+Check that `GITEA_URL` and `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` are correct, verify the runner service is running with `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`, and check the logs for registration errors. You can also confirm the runner appears as **Online** in the Gitea UI under **Actions → Runners**.
+
+### What does the "Event loop is closed" warning mean?
+
+This is a harmless cleanup traceback from Molecule's Docker driver when the test process is interrupted. It does not indicate a test failure.
+
+### Where are runner connection details stored?
+
+GRM stores each runner's connection details (host, user, SSH key, Gitea URL) in a local JSON registry at `~/.local/share/grm/runners.json`. After installation, lifecycle commands work by runner name only — you can override any stored value by passing the corresponding flag.

+# Getting Started
+
+## Developer Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm.git
+cd grm
+git checkout $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)  # Checkout latest stable release
+pyenv install 3.12
+pyenv local 3.12
+make setup
+```
+
+> **Important:** Always checkout the latest release tag before running `make setup`. The `master` branch may contain unreleased changes that are not yet stable. The `git describe --tags --abbrev=0` command automatically selects the most recent tagged release. To see all available releases, run `git tag --sort=-version:refname` or check the [releases page](https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm/releases).
+
+## Configure Gitea Credentials
+
+GRM needs two tokens from your Gitea instance: a **registration token** (required) and an **admin API token** (optional, for post-install verification).
+
+### Step 1: Get the Registration Token
+
+The registration token tells Gitea to accept the runner when it connects.
+
+1. Log in to your Gitea instance as an administrator
+2. Navigate to **Site Administration → Actions → Runners**
+3. Click **Create Registration Token**
+4. Copy the token — it starts with `GR`
+
+> **Note:** There are three levels of registration tokens:
+> - **Instance-level** (Site Administration → Actions → Runners) — registers a runner for all repositories
+> - **Organization-level** (Organization → Settings → Actions → Runners) — registers a runner for repos in that organization
+> - **Repository-level** (Repository → Settings → Actions → Runners) — registers a runner for a single repository
+>
+> Use instance-level tokens for shared runners, and repo-level tokens for dedicated runners.
+
+### Step 2: Get the Admin API Token (optional)
+
+The admin API token enables post-install API checks that verify the runner appears in Gitea's runner list. This is purely informational — the integration test primarily verifies the runner by checking:
+
+1. **`.runner` registration file** exists and contains valid JSON (proves successful registration)
+2. **Systemd user service** is active (proves daemon is polling for jobs)
+
+To get an admin API token:
+
+1. Go to **Settings → Applications → Generate New Token**
+2. Give it a name (e.g., "GRM Install Verification")
+3. Select the **admin** scope (or at minimum: `read:user`, `read:repository`, `read:admin`)
+4. Click **Generate Token** and copy it immediately (it won't be shown again)
+
+### Step 3: Create the `.env` File
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env` with your tokens:
+
+```bash
+# Your Gitea instance URL
+GITEA_URL=https://git.example.com
+
+# Registration token from Step 1
+GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=GRxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+
+# Admin API token from Step 2 (optional)
+REPO_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+### Environment Variables Reference
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `GITEA_URL` | Yes | Gitea instance URL (e.g., `https://git.example.com`) |
+| `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` | Yes | Runner registration token from Gitea admin panel |
+| `REPO_TOKEN` | No | Admin API token for post-install verification |
+| `GITEA_INTEGRATION_RETRIES` | No | API check retries (default: 3) |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_USER` | No | Default SSH user (overrides `--user`) |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_KEY` | No | Default SSH key path (overrides `--key`) |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS` | No | Default runner labels (overrides `--labels`) |
+| `GRM_LANG` | No | UI language: `en`, `bg`, `de`, `ru`, `zh` (default: `en`) |
+
+## Install a Runner
+
+Using the CLI (you will be prompted for the sudo password by default):
+
+```bash
+grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 --name prod-runner
+```
+
+> **Automation tip:** Configure passwordless sudo on the remote host and pass `--no-ask-become-pass` to skip the password prompt. This is recommended for CI/CD pipelines.
+
+Using Make:
+
+```bash
+make install HOST=192.168.1.10 USER=ubuntu KEY=~/.ssh/id_ed25519 NAME=prod-runner
+```
+
+## Verify Runner
+
+The installer performs an automated integration test that verifies:
+
+1. **`.runner` file exists** with valid JSON containing `id`, `uuid`, `token`, `address` — this proves successful registration with Gitea
+2. **Systemd user service is active** — this proves the daemon is polling for jobs
+
+You can also check the Gitea UI under **Actions → Runners** to confirm the runner appears as **Online**.
+
+Optional: If `REPO_TOKEN` is set, the installer will also query the Gitea API and report whether the runner appears in the admin or repo runners list. This is purely informational.
+
+## View Logs
+
+**GRM application logs** (Python CLI output):
+
+```bash
+# Application log file (all messages including DEBUG)
+cat ~/.local/state/grm/logs/grm.log
+
+# Enable debug logging in the current session
+GRM_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --name prod-runner
+```
+
+**Runner logs** (on the remote host):
+
+```bash
+# Runner logs (via systemd user service)
+sudo -u grm-<name> journalctl --user -u gitea-runner -f
+```
+
+The GRM application writes to two destinations:
+
+| Destination | Level | Content |
+|-------------|-------|---------|
+| Console (stdout) | `GRM_LOG_LEVEL` (default: INFO) | Colorised user-facing messages and operation reports |
+| `~/.local/state/grm/logs/grm.log` | DEBUG | All messages with timestamps and severity |
+
+Set `GRM_LOG_LEVEL` to one of `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, or `CRITICAL` to control console verbosity. The log file always captures everything at DEBUG level regardless of the console setting.
+
+Console output is automatically colorised via ``click.echo``: operation headers in bright cyan, completed steps in green, failures in red, and status updates in yellow.

+# Installation
+
+> **Before you start:** Make sure you have cloned the repo and checked out the latest stable release tag. See [Getting Started](https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm/wiki/Getting-Started.-) for setup instructions. Do not run from `master` — it may contain unreleased changes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **SSH key authentication** — The remote host must be reachable via SSH using the user specified with `--user` and the private key specified with `--key`. GRM uses Ansible under the hood, which connects to the target host over SSH to execute all installation and configuration tasks. Without valid SSH credentials, Ansible cannot establish a connection and the deployment will fail.
+- **Sudo access** — GRM requires root privileges on the remote host to create system users, install packages, and configure rootless Docker. By default, you will be prompted interactively for the sudo password. For automation or uninterrupted workflows, configure passwordless sudo on the remote host and pass `--no-ask-become-pass`.
+- **Gitea registration token** — You need a runner registration token from your Gitea instance. See [Getting Started](https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm/wiki/Getting-Started.-) for detailed instructions on obtaining tokens.
+
+## Supported Operating Systems
+
+- Arch Linux
+- Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04
+- Debian 12
+
+All supported OSes are tested in CI via molecule scenarios on every PR.
+
+## Quick Start Install
+
+Using the CLI (you will be prompted for the sudo password by default):
+
+```bash
+grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 --name prod-runner
+```
+
+> **Automation tip:** Configure passwordless sudo on the remote host and pass `--no-ask-become-pass` to skip the password prompt. This is recommended for CI/CD pipelines.
+
+## Make Install
+
+Using Make:
+
+```bash
+make install HOST=192.168.1.10 USER=ubuntu KEY=~/.ssh/id_ed25519 NAME=prod-runner
+```
+
+## Runner Registry
+
+After installation, GRM stores each runner's connection details (host, user, SSH key, Gitea URL) in a local JSON registry at `~/.local/share/grm/runners.json`. This means you rarely need to repeat connection arguments:
+
+```bash
+# List all registered runners with live systemd status
+grm list
+```
+
+## Multiple Instances on the Same Host
+
+Each runner instance is fully isolated with its own system user, rootless Docker daemon, data directory, and systemd user service:
+
+```bash
+# Install two runners on the same host
+grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --name workflow-runner
+grm install 192.168.1.10 --user ubuntu --name build-runner
+
+# Manage them independently by name
+grm stop workflow-runner
+grm status build-runner
+```

+# Troubleshooting
+
+## "Event loop is closed" warning
+
+This is a harmless cleanup traceback from Molecule's Docker driver when the test process is interrupted. It does not indicate a test failure.
+
+## Runner appears offline after installation
+
+- Check that the `GITEA_URL` and `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` environment variables are correct.
+- Verify the registration token has not expired — generate a new one from Gitea if needed (Site Administration → Actions → Runners → Create Registration Token).
+- Verify the runner service is running: `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`.
+- Check logs for registration errors.
+
+## Integration test fails
+
+The test checks two things:
+
+1. **`.runner` file missing or invalid** — Registration failed. Check:
+   - `GITEA_URL` and `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` are correct
+   - The registration token is valid and has not expired
+   - Runner logs for registration errors
+   - The `.runner` file should exist at `/var/lib/gitea-runner/<name>/.runner`
+
+2. **Service not running** — Daemon failed to start. Check:
+   - `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`
+   - Logs for connection errors
+
+## Rootless Docker: service fails to start
+
+- Check the service status: `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`.
+- Verify the rootless Docker daemon is running: `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status docker`.
+- Verify the Docker socket exists: `ls /run/user/$(id -u grm-<name>)/docker.sock`.
+- Check logs: `sudo -u grm-<name> journalctl --user -u gitea-runner -f`.
+- Ensure lingering is enabled for the runner user: `loginctl show-user grm-<name> | grep Linger`.

+## Common Issues Reference Table
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
+|---------|-------------|----------|
+| Pre-commit rejects commit message | Missing conventional format or GRM-N prefix present | Use `feat: description` format without `GRM-N:` |
+| `make molecule` fails with `runner_name is undefined` | Verify playbook missing variable | Fixed in Phase 1.1; ensure you're on latest master |
+| CI molecule job fails | Docker not available on runner host | Ensure Gitea runner host has Docker installed and running |
+| Auto-merge doesn't trigger | Label not exactly `ready-to-merge` or CI checks not all green | Verify label spelling; check CI status |
+| Vikunja task not updated after merge | VIKUNJA_TOKEN expired or task ID missing from commit | Regenerate token; verify merge commit has `GRM-N:` prefix |
+| Post-merge can't find Vikunja task | Task not in project 6 or identifier mismatch | Verify task exists in Vikunja project 6 with correct identifier |
+| `make pytest-cov` fails | Coverage below 100% | Add tests for new code paths |
+| `scripts/configure_repo.py` fails | REPO_TOKEN missing or invalid | Set token with repo admin scope and re-run |
+| `configure_repo.py` sets wrong status checks | Stale `BRANCH_PROTECTION_CONFIG` | Updated to include `(pull_request)` suffix; re-run `configure_repo.py` |
+| Token visible in `ps aux` during install | Old version passed tokens via command line | Fixed: tokens now passed via temp file with `0600` permissions |
+| `remove-runner.yml` leaves lingering enabled | Old version didn't disable lingering | Fixed: now runs `loginctl disable-linger` and removes subuid/subgid |
+| apt cache update always reports `changed` | `cache_valid_time: 0` forced update every run | Fixed: changed to `cache_valid_time: 3600` |
+| Prune/service templates created even when `docker_rootless_setup: false` | Template tasks not guarded | Fixed: template creation now guarded by `docker_rootless_setup` |

+- **release.py** — skips release when only workflow files changed

+"""Automated PR review: check architecture compliance, best practices, and quality.
+
+Fetches the PR diff via the Gitea API, runs a series of automated checks,
+and posts a structured review using GiteaClient.create_review.
+
+Checks performed:
+  1. Architecture compliance — no business logic in CLI, no direct subprocess
+     calls outside executor, no hardcoded config that should be in config.py
+  2. Best practices — no bare except, no print() (use click.echo), no TODO/FIXME
+     left in merged code, no functions > 50 lines
+  3. Security — no secrets in code, no shell=True, no eval/exec
+  4. Documentation — new CLI commands documented, new modules in architecture.md
+  5. Test coverage — 100% enforced by pytest-cov (checked in quality job)
+  6. Commit conventions — conventional commit format on branch commits

+"""Thin Python wrapper around the ``tea`` Gitea CLI for CI/CD scripts.
+
+This module provides a programmatic interface to the ``tea`` CLI tool,
+parsing JSON output for structured data. It is used by CI scripts to
+avoid hand-rolling HTTP requests and to leverage the official Gitea CLI
+for reliability.
+
+The wrapper requires ``tea`` to be installed and configured (run
+``make setup`` which calls ``scripts/install_tools.py`` and
+``scripts/setup.py``).
+
+Operations supported via tea:
+- Creating pull requests
+- Creating issues
+- Adding labels to issues/PRs
+- Creating labels
+- Merging pull requests
+- Creating releases
+- Posting reviews on PRs
+- Listing branches
+
+Operations NOT supported via tea (still use GiteaClient):
+- Wiki page management
+- Commit status checks
+- Runner discovery
+- PR file/commit listing (tea has limited support)
+- Branch protection with detailed config (tea only has basic protect/unprotect)
+
+Usage::
+
+    from scripts.gitea_cli import TeaCLI
+
+    tea = TeaCLI()
+    tea.create_issue("owner/repo", title="Bug", body="Description", labels=["bug"])
+    tea.add_label("owner/repo", 42, ["ready-to-merge"])
