# CI Requirements — ThoughtSync

> Spec lives in [`docs/process.md`](https://git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/CI-runner/src/branch/main/docs/process.md)
> in the CI-Runner repo.

## Runtime image

```
git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/ci-python:3.14
```

Selected via `container.image` (not a `runs-on` label) on all four jobs in
`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`: typecheck (Vue/TS), lint (ruff), test (pytest),
build (docker buildx).

## Image deps used

- python 3.12+ (the runtime `Dockerfile` targets python:3.12-slim; tests run on
  the image's 3.14 — both >=3.12, so results stay representative)
- node 24 — `npm ci` + `vue-tsc` in the typecheck job, and the frontend builder
  stage inside the production `Dockerfile`. (Also required by the JS-based
  `actions/checkout` action — a Node-less runner fails every job at checkout.)
- ruff — lint job runs `ruff check src/` with zero install overhead
- uv — test job creates the venv (`uv venv /opt/venv`) and installs the package
  with dev deps
- docker CLI + buildx — build job pushes the dev/release image to the Forgejo
  registry

## Per-job tool installs

Nothing installed at job time beyond what the image provides — all four jobs run
entirely on `ci-python:3.14`.

## Notes

- **No `actions/cache`.** Deliberately omitted for npm/uv: it's a GitHub-fetched
  JS action and on a cold runner concurrent jobs race fetching it. We lean on the
  pinned `ci-python` image's pre-installed toolchain instead; `npm ci` / `uv pip
  install` cold cost is a non-blocker.
- Build gates on `typecheck` + `lint` only. The `test` job runs in parallel for
  visibility but does not block the dev image push. DB-backed / integration tests
  run against the dev image manually — ThoughtSync's unit tests are DB-free (no
  Postgres service lane in CI yet).
- `dev` push -> `:dev` + `:<sha>`; `v*` tag -> `:latest` + `:<version>` + `:<sha>`
  (family rule 46).
- The production runtime `Dockerfile` tracks python:3.12 so test results stay
  representative of the deployed image.
