The workspace jobs pulled every image anonymously from Docker Hub and
two of them failed on its rate limit in run 39059128678 (#990): the
fedora swarm drill on busybox:1.38 on all three nodes, the centos
compose drill while building tor-smtp_custom. The regular deploy jobs
pull through the GHCR mirror, but the mirror was tied to being a real
GitHub runner: Profile.image_mirror_enabled() returned
runs_on_github(), and the swarm routine generated mirrors.yml only when
cli.meta.runtime reported github, which is act inside make
swarm-zombie.
The mirror is now its own capability, INFINITO_GHCR_MIRROR (next to
INFINITO_GHCR_MIRROR_PREFIX), written as a run fact like
INFINITO_CACHE_STACK: true on a real GitHub runner,
false everywhere else, and a non-empty exported value wins for the run.
Profile.image_mirror_enabled() reads the declaration and keeps
runs_on_github() as the fallback, and 02_provision_inventory.sh gates
on the same value instead of the runtime name. make swarm-zombie
forwards it into act through ACT_ENV, since act ignores the host env.
call-test-workspace.yml declares INFINITO_GHCR_MIRROR=true and passes
INFINITO_GHCR_MIRROR_PREFIX into the workspace container. Nothing else
of the workspace changes: is_ci, runs_on_github, the cache stack and
the docker root stay local-like. The step that loads the rescue paths
now removes the .env it generated on the runner, because on debian
rows load.sh sourced it inside the container and the run inherited
INFINITO_RUNNING_ON_GITHUB=true.

The workspace suite diverges from a runner in two ways that make whole classes of defect unreproducible locally. INFINITO_DOCKER_VOLUME is a named volume locally and /mnt/docker on GHA (utils/env/handlers/infinito/docker_volume.py); compose down -v removes the former and cannot remove the latter, so nested Docker state is destroyed between tracks locally and carried forward in CI. And act sets ACT=true, so detect_gha_act resolves INFINITO_RUNNING_ON_GITHUB=false where a runner resolves true.
Both facts were already documented in isolation; their consequence was not, and it is the one that matters when someone reports a fix as verified because the local loop went green.

The workflow directory mixed entry points, reusable stages and scheduled jobs into one flat list sorted by topic, so the first question about any file - what starts it - was the one the name did not answer. Every workflow now carries one of three prefixes, derived from its on: block: cron- for a schedule trigger, call- for one only reachable through workflow_call, entry- for everything a repository event or a human starts. Scheduled workflows additionally carry an alarm clock as the first character of their name.
Two lints keep it that way. One derives the expected prefix from the triggers and compares it against the file name; it flagged all 17 offenders before the rename and none after. The other resolves every .github/workflows/<file> string in the repository against the directory, which is what a rename silently breaks in Markdown links, Python constants and shell API URLs alike.
Renaming pulled 69 pre-existing comments into the comment lint's changed-file scope. The vendored CodeQL template got the nocheck marker its scorecard sibling already carried, two workflow headers moved above name: where they count as file headers, and the remaining banners were deleted.

test-environment.yml and test-guide.yml become test-workspace.yml and
test-instructions.yml. Orchestrator job ids, the distros-SPOT matrix
lint, the act example, the diagnostics slug and the rescue artefact
names follow.
Replace the roles_only input with per-job workspace/instructions
tri-state inputs (auto|true|false). 'auto' derives the former
roles_only skip straight from whitelist: both jobs run on a global
scope (whitelist empty or __ALL__) and are skipped on a role-scoped
run, which keeps the PR behaviour identical because the diff resolver
never emits an empty whitelist. entry-manual exposes both as choice
dropdowns defaulting to false, so a manual run opts in explicitly.
The now redundant roles_only output is dropped from
pr_affected_roles.sh and subset_roles.py.
Branch-protection required-status-check names change along with the
job renames.

The five images in test-environment.yml were a verbatim copy of the
dev_runtime_image field of every distro in meta/distros.yml. A prepare
job now reads them through utils.distros and publishes a JSON array that
the matrix consumes with fromJson, so adding or dropping a distro no
longer needs a workflow edit. The resolver runs on the bare interpreter
because utils/distros.py is stdlib-only.
An empty list aborts the resolver: GitHub skips a job with an empty
matrix silently, which would leave the run green with nothing tested.
The lint could no longer compare literals, so it walks the wiring
instead: axis expression to needs edge to job output to step id, then
runs that step body the way the runner does and compares what it writes
to GITHUB_OUTPUT against the SPOT. The Act example in the iteration docs
was the last remaining literal and now reads the SPOT too.

Add the i8* terminal aliases (make install-alias) and ai8* agent
conversation shortcuts (docs/.../agents/alias.md), move skill
distribution to the external INFINITO_SKILLS_REPOSITORY (make
install-skills), and add make cheat, make alias and make onboard. Introduce
custom.env operator overrides (win over defaults and handlers) and pin
INFINITO_ALIAS_MD / INFINITO_ALIAS_REPOSITORY / INFINITO_SKILLS_REPOSITORY
in default.env. Drop the in-repo skills-lock.json and its update-skills CI
job. AGENTS.md instructs agents to suggest the matching cli/prompt alias
when an operator writes something an alias covers. Lints enforce alias
sorting, i8/ai8 prefixes, no consonant clusters, full make-target
coverage, and terminal/agent shortcut non-overlap.

Rename the scripts/tests/environment deploy_* steps (07/08/09) to compose_*; add 12_swarm.sh (svc-db-mariadb via the swarm-* targets) and 13_roundtrip.sh (svc-db-postgres via make roundtrip), with MARIADB_APP/POSTGRES_APP in common.sh. Rename every make act-swarm-* target to make swarm-* (drop the act- prefix) across the Makefile (moved to the alphabetical slot), the deploy/act, deploy/swarm and e2e helper scripts, and the agent iteration docs. Strip mid-code narration comments from the touched scripts per the comment policy.

svc-storage-nfs-server gains a backend flavor selected by services.nfs-server.flavor (default "{{ 'ganesha' if RUNTIME in ['dev','act'] else 'kernel' }}"). The ganesha flavor installs nfs-ganesha + FSAL_VFS and renders /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf (NFSv4, Pseudo == Path so clients mount the real paths unchanged, Root_Squash on the export base and No_Root_Squash on the state subdir), reloaded via systemctl restart. It runs in the dev/act DinD swarm-test, where the host kernel nfsd is not network-namespaced and a privileged node driving exportfs would wedge it into a D-state. The kernel flavor keeps nfs-kernel-server + exportfs -ra for production and every non-dev/act runtime. 01_core dispatches on the flavor, 03_prepare holds the shared export preparation, flavor/{kernel,ganesha}/main.yml hold the per-backend install/render/service steps, and handlers gains the ganesha restart.
docs/agents/action/iteration: role.md renamed to compose.md (Compose Loop); new swarm.md for the swarm deploy loop split out of workflow.md; workflow.md trimmed to GitHub Actions workflow iteration; all cross-references updated; the duplicated README gotcha removed; the NFS gotcha rewritten to the ganesha design.
Also drops a retired-flag history comment in group_vars/all/01_modes.yml and a redundant comment in the init selection script, and allows WebFetch(repology.org) used during ganesha packaging research.

Delete the per-deploy-type workflows (test-deploy-local/universal/
workstation) and the redundant act-all/act-app runner scripts (replaced
by make act-workflow). Only compose and swarm deploy tests remain.
Both now discover the full application matrix (every deployment type,
lifecycle-filtered to alpha/beta/rc/stable) instead of just the server/
web-* scope, via apps.sh resolving applications.type without --type.
Retire INFINITO_DEPLOY_TYPE entirely: discovery is now unconditional and
the deploy step never read it. Removed from apps.sh, ci/all.sh, the local
deploy scripts, the two workflows, default.env, the env passthrough list,
the dotenv generator test, the Makefile compose-deploy target, and docs.

Recent Docker tightened docker cp tar extraction, so act aborts at job setup when the stock catthehacker runner image's /var/run symlink is unpacked into. Add a make act-runner-image target that builds local/act-runner-fixed (stock image with /var/run removed); pass it via ACT_PLATFORM_IMAGE. Document the symptom + fix in iteration/workflow.md and cross-reference from playwright.md and README.md.

Codifies the swarm/act iteration discipline: validate a candidate fix on the live zombie cluster before triggering another tens-of-minutes rebuild; no commits during an active iteration (commit only after green); use --no-verify if a mid-iteration commit is unavoidable since the pre-commit hook stashes working-tree files a live deploy is reading; make autoformat/make test are safe any time.

Split docs/agents/action/iteration.md into role.md, playwright.md,
workflow.md, and a scope-focused README. Move Certificate Authority
and Inspect rules into role.md. Rewrite playwright.md as a machine-
oriented state machine with explicit preconditions, procedure, exit
gates, and escape path.
Extract Playwright spec content MUSTs into the new contrib SPOT
docs/contributing/artefact/files/role/playwright.specs.js.md. Reduce
the agent-side spec and env.j2 pages to procedure only. Align the
framework SPOT and the test-e2e-playwright role README with the
central templates/package.json.j2 + files/playwright.config.js model
and images.playwright.version as single source of truth.
Sweep em dashes and sentence-case role headings across all touched
docs per documentation.md and readme_md.md rules.
