Subject: [PATCH 04/13] fix: force-remove running containers in prune service
 and healthcheck
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The docker-prune systemd service and healthcheck script used
"docker container prune -f" which only removes stopped containers.
Running containers from failed/interrupted molecule tests accumulated
indefinitely on runner hosts, consuming disk and memory, causing CI
test speed variance (12s → 39s for identical test suites).

Changes:
- docker-prune.service.j2: stop+rm ALL containers before system prune
- runner-healthcheck.sh.j2: force-remove all containers when disk
  threshold is hit, use "system prune -af --volumes" for thorough cleanup
- template-content/verify.yml: update assertions to match new templates

The molecule_ci_guard.py in devx was also updated to run "molecule
destroy" on test failure/interruption, preventing containers from
being left running in the first place.

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] fix: exclude CI job containers from prune to prevent
 self-destruction

The prune service and healthcheck force-remove ALL containers via
"docker ps -aq | xargs -r docker rm -f", but this includes the CI
job container itself (named GITEA-ACTIONS-TASK-*). Removing it causes
"RWLayer of container is unexpectedly nil" errors and kills the
active CI job.

Exclude containers whose name starts with GITEA-ACTIONS-TASK from
the force-remove step. Use "docker ps -a --format" with name filtering
instead of "docker ps -aq".

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] fix(healthcheck): use Gitea API for runner registration
 detection
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The healthcheck's `journalctl --user` command fails with "No journal
files were opened due to insufficient permissions" for runner users
that lack journal access. This caused the healthcheck to always report
"OK: runner healthy" even when all runners were unregistered — the
auto-recovery never triggered.

Replace journal-based detection with a Gitea API query: read the
runner's ID from the .runner file and verify it exists in
GET /api/v1/admin/actions/runners. This works regardless of journal
permissions.

Also add scripts/cleanup_stale_runners.py for bulk cleanup of stale
runner registrations (runners that haven't been online for a
configurable threshold).

+"""Clean up stale runner registrations from Gitea.
+
+A runner is considered stale if it hasn't been online for more than a
+configurable threshold (default: 1 hour).  Stale runners accumulate when:
+- A runner host is rebuilt or re-provisioned (old registration remains)
+- A runner is re-registered (old entry remains alongside the new one)
+- A runner process dies and the healthcheck can't auto-recover
+
+This script queries the Gitea API for all runners, identifies stale ones,
+and deletes them via ``DELETE /api/v1/admin/actions/runners/{id}``.
+
+Usage::
+
+    python3 scripts/cleanup_stale_runners.py --gitea-url https://git.example.com --token <admin-token>
+    python3 scripts/cleanup_stale_runners.py --gitea-url https://git.example.com --token <admin-token> --dry-run
+    python3 scripts/cleanup_stale_runners.py --gitea-url https://git.example.com --token <admin-token> \\

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] fix(prune): add --filter until=1h to network prune

docker network prune -f removes ALL unused networks, including ones
that molecule tests are actively creating (e.g. 'traefik' network
created during molecule create phase before containers are attached).
This caused "network traefik not found" errors in CI molecule tests.

Add --filter "until=1h" to only prune networks older than 1 hour,
matching the container prune filter.

Subject: [PATCH 08/13] fix(prune): only remove containers older than 1 hour
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The prune service and healthcheck were force-removing ALL containers
(except GITEA-ACTIONS-TASK), including molecule test containers that
CI jobs were actively using. This caused "No such container" errors
during molecule prepare/converge phases.

Filter by RunningFor field — only remove containers showing
"hour/day/week/month/year ago", excluding "minutes/seconds ago".
This prevents killing molecule containers from running CI jobs
while still cleaning up stale containers from crashed jobs.

Switch requirements.yml to type: url entries pointing to the Gitea
package registry. The devx setup.py downloads these with token auth
and installs offline, falling back to galaxy.ansible.com if the
mirror is unavailable.

Subject: [PATCH 12/13] fix(ci): reduce molecule slots to 4 and add disk space
 gate

Reduce max-parallel from 6 to 4 and add aggressive Docker prune with
disk space gate. Runners at 76% disk after prune fail with "Failed to
create temporary directory" errors when overlay2 runs out of space
under parallel DinD load.

If disk usage >= 85% after prune, skip molecule tests for that slot
with a warning instead of letting containers die with cryptic ENOSPC.

Subject: [PATCH 13/13] fix(ci): set fail-fast false for molecule matrix

With fail-fast: true, Gitea cancels remaining matrix slots when one
fails. Combined with molecule_ci_guard's cross-runner cancellation,
a single DinD failure on a high-disk runner kills all 4 slots.

Setting fail-fast: false lets slots on healthy runners complete even
if slots on high-disk runners fail.
