- Replace legacy MODE env with TEST_DEPLOY_TYPE across workflows and scripts
- Route CI deploy and discovery through Makefile targets
- Rename deploy-one-app.sh to deploy-app.sh and update all call sites
- Fix Makefile recursion and ensure scripts are executed directly
- Ensure JSON discovery output is clean via silent make target
- Make MISSING_ONLY default true via Makefile
- Respect INFINITO_NO_BUILD in compose up to avoid implicit rebuilds in CI
- Keep explicit build step before compose up for deterministic CI runs
- Improve deploy logging (test_deploy_type instead of mode)
Result:
- Deterministic CI behaviour
- No accidental docker compose rebuilds on up
- Single source of truth for deploy orchestration
- Cleaner env contract between workflows, make, bash and python

- Rename CI workflow and MODE from "rest" to "universal"
- Extend CLI and test runner to support universal deploy type
- Add tasks/stages/02_universal.yml for universal host type
- Update discover logic to use universal app selection
- Remove legacy rest->server mapping and obsolete select helper

- Add reusable build-ci-images workflow to build and push ci-<sha> images for all distros
- Make all deploy test workflows use prebuilt CI images (no local rebuilds)
- Replace ci-version workflow with release workflow
- Retag ci images to <version> and latest on tag push (no rebuild)
- Move stable git tag only if all analyses/tests succeed and version is highest
- Make compose image/pull policy configurable via env

Replace inline tail logic in deploy workflows with a shared
scripts/ci/log-tail.sh helper that prints the last N lines of all
log files on failure.
This improves debuggability, avoids code duplication, and ensures
consistent log output across server, universal and workstation
pipelines.

- Rename _deploy-matrix.yml -> _deploy-per-app.yml and drop unused inputs
(tested_lifecycles, only_distro, final_exclude_re).
- Keep one runner per app (matrix.app) and run all distros inside that job.
- Makefile: run deploy tests through act workflow_dispatch (no serial script).
- Add scripts/ci/discover.sh and scripts/ci/deploy-one-app.sh as small SRP helpers.
- Update reusable workflow callers to use the renamed file.
