### What is the CI_GITEA_TOKEN and do I need it?
## What is the CI_GITEA_TOKEN and do I need it?
`CI_GITEA_TOKEN` is a Gitea admin API token used for optional post-install verification. When set, GRM queries the Gitea API after installation to confirm the runner appears in the runner list. This is purely informational — the integration test passes/fails based on the `.runner` file and systemd service, not the API check.

## Can I run multiple runners on the same host?
Yes. Each runner instance is fully isolated with its own system user (`grm-<name>`), rootless Docker daemon, data directory, and systemd user service. Install additional runners with different `--name` values and manage them independently by name.

## Why does my runner appear offline after installation?
Check that `GITEA_URL` and `GITEA_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` are correct, verify the runner service is running with `sudo -u grm-<name> systemctl --user status gitea-runner`, and check the logs for registration errors.

### What does the "Event loop is closed" warning mean?
## What does the "Event loop is closed" warning mean?
This is a harmless cleanup traceback from Molecule's Docker driver when the test process is interrupted. It does not indicate a test failure.
### Where are runner connection details stored?
## Where are runner connection details stored?
GRM stores each runner's connection details (host, user, SSH key, Gitea URL, labels) in a local JSON registry at `~/.local/share/grm/runners.json`. After installation, lifecycle commands work by runner name only — you can override any stored value by passing the corresponding flag.

### What is the difference between disable and remove?
## What is the difference between disable and remove?
- **`grm disable <name>`** — Deregisters the runner from Gitea and stops the service, but leaves the user, directories, and service files in place. The runner can be re-enabled later with `grm enable` and re-registered with a new token.
- **`grm remove <name>`** — Completely removes the runner: deregisters from Gitea, stops and disables the service, removes the system user, deletes all directories, and removes the local registry entry. This is irreversible.
