The start_docker.py script was checking /var/run/docker.sock first, which inside CI containers is an inner dockerd (v29.5.3) with data root on the container's 38G overlay (often 100% full). When _get_docker_free_bytes() returned 0 (data root path not accessible from inside container), the script assumed it was the host Docker with plenty of space and returned True immediately — without trying the host's rootless Docker socket at /run/host-docker.sock. Fix: try /run/host-docker.sock FIRST (before /var/run/docker.sock). The host socket is mounted by the gitea runner config and has access to the host's full filesystem (455G). Only trust free_bytes == 0 (= data root not accessible from container) for /run/host-docker.sock, since the host's root dir is genuinely outside the container. For other sockets (inner dockerd), free_bytes == 0 means the path doesn't exist inside the container — don't trust it.
