ci: a weekly base-image refresh on the channel tags (milestone 326 step 4)
Skip-if-exists is keyed on our own source, so an artifact whose source
stops moving stops picking up base-image updates. `agent/` last changed
2026-07-17; every push since has correctly declined to rebuild it, which
also means it will serve that day's nvidia/cuda layers indefinitely.

A `schedule:` trigger, Sunday 06:00 UTC, away from CI-runner's Monday
security sweep so the two are never diagnosing each other.

#3154's blocking open question is dissolved rather than answered. It was
written when the identity was a `r-<revision>` TAG, and asked how the
next ordinary push could avoid repointing :latest back off the refresh.
Milestone 318 replaced that tag with a LABEL, and #3183 made the repoint
step exclude its source tag so the label stays readable. Excluding the
source is what also keeps a refresh from being undone: on the next main
push the reuse check hits, :latest is not rewritten, and the new :c-<sha>
is written FROM the refreshed :latest. To be verified by digest, not by
this argument.

Four decisions, each commented where it lives:

* It builds `main`, not the branch that triggered it. Forgejo registers a
  cron from the default branch — `dev` here — so a scheduled run arrives
  with github.ref on dev, and a refresh of :dev would be refreshing the
  one channel that is rebuilt constantly anyway. The ref is decided once
  in a top-level `env: BUILD_REF` that all four checkouts take. Deriving
  it per job would let the halves disagree: sign-extension would derive
  dev's extension version while build-web bundled main's, and the release
  download would 404 on a version that exists perfectly well.

* It publishes only the channel tag. :c-<sha> for main's HEAD already
  names the bytes that commit built; re-pushing it over refreshed layers
  would break the one tag rule 145 makes immutable, and it is the
  rollback unit — so the breakage would surface on the day somebody
  needed it. The repoint step needs no schedule case: the tag list is the
  channel tag alone, SOURCE is the only entry, it is excluded as always,
  and the step correctly does nothing.

* It bypasses reuse by construction, since it rebuilds the same source
  and fc.revision always matches. Checked in the reuse step beside
  force_build, so one decision still drives both the build and the
  repoint.

* `pull: true`, on the scheduled path only, is the actual mechanism. A
  moved base tag changes the FROM layer's cache key and everything above
  it rebuilds; an unmoved one is satisfied by the registry cache and the
  refresh is a ~13s no-op that republishes nothing. That no-op is the
  point — :latest should change when there is something new in it, not
  every Sunday. The known lag, left deliberately: an apt package update
  while the base tag stands still is not caught, and closing it needs
  no-cache: true, which buys weekly churn for it.
