# Gitea Actions runner (act_runner) — Phase 6 CI/CD (WS-GITOSS).
#
# WHY A DEDICATED, NON-APP NAMESPACE:
#   The runner's job executor is a Docker-in-Docker (DinD) sidecar that MUST run
#   `privileged: true` (dockerd needs it). The Kyverno `restrict-host-namespaces`
#   policy denies privileged containers, but it (and the egress-class / auth-mode /
#   default-deny-baseline policies) scope ONLY to namespaces labeled
#   homelab.keithjackson.dev/app-namespace: "true". This namespace deliberately does
#   NOT carry that label — it is CI plumbing, not a user-facing app — so the privileged
#   DinD sidecar is admitted WITHOUT a policy exception. (Verified: a privileged Pod in
#   a non-app namespace passes server-side admission; Kyverno test fixture
#   `platform-workload` is likewise Excluded from restrict-host-namespaces.)
#
# EXECUTOR MODEL — Docker executor + DinD sidecar (privileged):
#   act_runner runs each job step inside a container it launches via a Docker daemon.
#   That daemon is the co-located `dind` sidecar (shared pod netns → tcp://localhost:2376,
#   TLS via a shared emptyDir of certs). Tradeoff vs the host/self-hosted executor: DinD
#   needs `privileged`, but it gives clean per-job isolation and lets the workflow pick its
#   own job image (the pinned toolchain), which the host executor cannot. Privileged is
#   contained to this CI-only namespace and the runner mounts NO ServiceAccount token
#   (automountServiceAccountToken: false) — CI holds no cluster credentials (R-SEC-02).

# Default-deny ingress; broad egress (a CI runner legitimately needs the internet:

# runner, so ingress is denied entirely.
