act fills the GITHUB_REPOSITORY* vars with its own placeholders, so the
existing owner guard passes and the resolver hands back ghcr.io/nektos/act/
<distro>. That path does not exist and the swarm node build died on a 403
three minutes into every local run. Returning nothing is what the callers
already treat as 'build it locally'.

The serial distro loop (shuffle, time budget, fast-fail skip, exit on the first failing distro) lived inline in scripts/tests/deploy/ci/all.sh and was therefore reachable only from the compose and host deploys. Swarm and guide have to iterate distros with the same semantics, so the loop moves into scripts/tests/deploy/distros.sh and takes the per-distro command as "$@".
ci/all.sh keeps the app-level preamble and execs the loop with the new ci/one.sh, which resolves the CI image and dispatches to the per-app override or dedicated.sh.
Image resolution leaves the loop as well: scripts/meta/resolve/image/ci.sh renders the reference through cli.meta.ci.image_ref instead of respelling ghcr.io/... locally, which meta/distros.yml declares as the single source.
The two CI time knobs are declared in default.env instead of being repeated as literals, so no caller has to invent a budget.
Three paths are dropped as dead: the empty budget that disabled the limit, the failed counter that could only ever print 0, and the branch for an unset deadline.
Both new scripts are pinned by contract tests. Those tests clear BASH_ENV because the test container exports it as the env loader, which would otherwise re-inject every stripped key and make the assertions pass for the wrong reason.
