Came up debugging the in-app update flow — wasn't obvious which image
the container was actually running without exec'ing in. New flow:
### Server
- internal/server/version.go: new `var ServerVersion = "dev"`,
overridden via -ldflags at build time.
- /healthz response gains a "version" key alongside the existing
"status" + "min_client_version". Backward-compat: existing clients
ignore unknown JSON fields. Endpoint stays unauthenticated.
### Build
- Dockerfile: new `ARG MINSTREL_VERSION=dev`, threaded into the
go build -ldflags so the binary's ServerVersion is stamped at
link time. Default "dev" preserves local `docker build` ergonomics.
- .forgejo/workflows/release.yml: tags step also emits a `version`
output (the git tag for tag pushes, "main" for branch pushes);
build step passes it as `--build-arg MINSTREL_VERSION=...`.
### Web
- web/src/lib/components/ServerVersion.svelte: small understated
text ("Server v2026.05.10.2") that fetches /healthz on mount.
Renders nothing on parse failure or pre-version images.
- Mounted at the bottom of Settings.

Both prior secrets did related work (one for registry push, one for
release asset I/O) and required separate Forgejo PATs to manage.
Replacing with a single CI_TOKEN keyed off a single PAT with the
union of scopes (write:repository + write:package).
- flutter.yml: APK attach step → CI_TOKEN
- release.yml: docker login → CI_TOKEN; APK fetch step → CI_TOKEN
No behavior change — same calls, single secret name. Operator needs
to set CI_TOKEN in repo settings (Actions → Secrets) with a PAT that
has write:repository + write:package; the prior REGISTRY_TOKEN /
RELEASE_TOKEN secrets can be removed.

Final phase of the in-app update flow. release.yml on tag pushes
fetches the APK that flutter.yml is attaching to the same release,
drops it into client/ in the build context, and the Dockerfile's
COPY client/ /app/client/ bakes it into the image.
### How it sequences
flutter.yml and release.yml both trigger on tag pushes and run in
parallel on different runners (flutter-ci vs go-ci). flutter.yml
typically finishes APK build + release attachment in 2-5 min.
release.yml polls the release page for up to 15 min for the APK to
appear, then proceeds. If the APK never lands (flutter.yml failure,
network hiccup), release.yml emits a warning and ships the image
without the bundled APK — server returns 404 from /api/client/version,
banner stays hidden, manual download from the release page still
works. Graceful degradation, not a blocker.
### Repo shape
- client/.gitkeep + client/README.md so the directory exists in git
and the COPY in the Dockerfile always finds something to copy
- .gitignore excludes client/minstrel.apk + .version so accidental
commits don't bloat the repo
- Dockerfile: COPY --chown=minstrel:minstrel client/ /app/client/
### Why polling vs cross-workflow trigger
Forgejo Actions' workflow_run support varies by runner version; the
polling approach is universally compatible. If/when we standardize on
a runner that handles workflow_run cleanly, the polling step can
become a `needs:` dependency.
Closes#397.

The repo now contains the Flutter mobile client at flutter_client/
(M7 #356). Two cleanups so the existing build pipelines don't churn
on Flutter-only changes:
1. .dockerignore — keep the Flutter project (and docs/, IDE noise,
git metadata) out of the Docker build context. The runtime image
was already unaffected (multi-stage drops everything but the Go
binary), but the COPY . . layer cache invalidated on every
Flutter edit. Build context shrinks ~2.4 MB and Flutter-only
pushes no longer force Go rebuilds.
2. test.yml + release.yml — paths-ignore on flutter_client/**,
docs/**, and **/*.md. Go/web tests + container build now skip
when the diff doesn't touch them. Tag releases still build broadly
since server + Flutter ship paired.
The Flutter-side workflow lands in M7 Task 21 with its own paths
filter restricting it to flutter_client/** and the shared web/
inputs (tokens.json, error-copy.json, album-fallback.svg).
The default GITHUB_TOKEN provided by Forgejo Actions lacks write:package
scope, so docker buildx push failed with 401 reqPackageAccess. Swap in
the repo-level REGISTRY_TOKEN secret (a PAT scoped write:package) for
docker login; github.actor still supplies the username.
Also drops the transient Docker environment diagnostics step — the
registry was the issue, the socket/buildx setup is fine.
Adds a manual-trigger hook so we don't need a fresh commit to re-run
this pipeline, and dumps docker/buildx state before the build so CI
failures are diagnosable without docker.sock guesswork.
