jason 6a3a9bde14 🚀 Enable shared act_runner cache-server 🚀
gitea / release-gitea (push) Failing after 48s
Turned on the act_runner Actions cache instead of leaving it disabled.
The standalone `cache-server` process was already being launched
unconditionally by zz-act_runner.sh but had no `external_secret`, so it
was refusing to start (the binary requires a non-empty secret even
though its own `cache.enabled` field is unused). Wired a shared,
randomly generated secret through the existing REPLACE_* templating
pattern so the "gitea" runner, the cache-server, and the extra
runner-N daemons spawned by start-runners all share one cache backend.

- rootfs/tmp/etc/act_runner/default_config.yaml: cache.enabled: true;
  added external_server (pointed at the local cache-server) and
  external_secret placeholders
- rootfs/tmp/etc/act_runner/cache_server.yaml: cache.enabled: true;
  added external_secret placeholder (required for the binary to start)
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/zz-act_runner.sh: added
  __gen_cache_secret() (mirrors __gen_auth_token's persisted-token
  pattern, stored at $CONF_DIR/tokens/cache_secret); substitutes
  REPLACE_RUNNER_CACHE_SECRET into both the runner config and the
  cache-server config; exports RUNNER_CACHE_HOST/PORT/SECRET for
  start-runners; bumped version stamp
- rootfs/usr/local/bin/start-runners: generates a shared
  runners-cache.yaml from the exported cache env vars and passes
  --config to both `act_runner register` and `act_runner daemon` for
  every runner-N instance, so they use the same external cache server
  instead of an unshared per-process local cache
- TODO.AI.md: logged pre-existing script-lint findings (missing `--`
  before grep queries throughout zz-act_runner.sh, a UUOC in
  start-runners, an unpinned/stale docker.yaml CI workflow, and
  forbidden OCI labels in the Dockerfile) surfaced incidentally by the
  lint pass for this change but out of scope for it

jason 895520eb77 🐛 Fix runner config filenames, cache-server, and registration log 🐛
Three more bugs found during full component verification:
1. RUNNER_CONFIG_DEFAULT pointed to config.yaml but the actual
template filename is default_config.yaml — gitea named runner
never registered because the file-existence check always failed.
2. CACHE_CONFIG_FILE pointed to cache.yaml but the actual template
filename is cache_server.yaml — cache-server launch always
skipped silently.
3. act_runner v1.0.6 requires cache.external_secret on both the
cache-server and any runner using external_server; neither config
had it, so cache-server exited immediately and runner registration
failed when external_server was present in default_config.yaml.
4. Registration log redirect was 2>/dev/stdout >>"$log" (stderr went
to original stdout, not the log); corrected to >>"$log" 2>&1.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/zz-act_runner.sh:
- RUNNER_CONFIG_DEFAULT: config.yaml → default_config.yaml
- CACHE_CONFIG_FILE: cache.yaml → cache_server.yaml
- fix registration log redirect: >>"$RUNNER_LOG_FILE" 2>&1
- rootfs/tmp/etc/act_runner/default_config.yaml: remove
external_server (no shared secret configured; each runner uses
its own internal cache)
- rootfs/tmp/etc/act_runner/cache_server.yaml: set enabled: false
(cache-server requires external_secret; disabled until a proper
shared-secret setup is added)
Verified: 6 daemons on fresh start (1 gitea named + 5 runners), all
with 22 labels; clean reconnect on restart with no re-registration.
