build it on tags, not on trust

Tag-driven releases. main is always releasable, a vX.Y.Z tag on it builds the
sdist and the manylinux wheels and publishes them; Cargo.toml carries the version
and the first job refuses to go on if the tag disagrees with it, because PyPI
will not let a version be reused even after it is yanked.

CI fires on push and on nothing else. This forge is public and takes pull
requests from strangers, and a runner executes whatever the workflow checks out,
so a pull_request trigger would run unread code from a stranger on the runner
host. Push-only means the runner only ever runs what someone with push rights put
there. A pull request therefore gets no automatic check: read it, push the branch,
let it run then.

No cargo fmt gate. The tables here are aligned by hand and rustfmt wants one entry
per line, which loses the shape that makes MONTHS and JURISDICTIONS readable — a
gate that fights the house style is a gate that gets ignored. Clippy stays, and
passes.

The Python job builds the bindings against the CLI it just built and runs them
against each other, because they are one engine and the only way that stays true
is if something checks.

docs/releasing.md covers what does not exist yet: Actions is off on this forge on
purpose, there is no runner, and PyPI's trusted publishing does not speak to
Forgejo — so a long-lived token has to live here, project-scoped rather than
account-wide so a compromised forge costs this package rather than all of them.

# Releasing
## The branching workflow
`main` is always releasable. Everything else is short-lived.
```
feat/whatever ──push──▶ ci runs tests
│
└──merge──▶ main ──tag v0.3.0──▶ release builds and publishes to PyPI
```
- **Work on a branch.** Pushing any branch runs `ci.yml`: clippy, the Rust tests,
the Python bindings built and tested against the freshly built CLI, and mypy
against the stubs.
- **Merge to `main`** when it is green.
- **Release by tagging.** `Cargo.toml` carries the version and the tag points at
it. The first job refuses to continue if the two disagree, because PyPI will
not let a version be reused — not even after it is yanked — so publishing
0.2.0 under a tag that says v0.3.0 cannot be undone.
```console
$ # on main, working tree clean
$ sed -i 's/^version = .*/version = "0.3.0"/' Cargo.toml
$ cargo build # refresh Cargo.lock
$ git commit -am 'release 0.3.0'
$ git tag v0.3.0 && git push origin main v0.3.0
```
`__version__` in Python comes from `CARGO_PKG_VERSION`, and maturin reads the
same field, so `Cargo.toml` is the only place a version is written.
## Why pull requests do not trigger CI
`ci.yml` fires on `push` and nothing else. This forge is public and takes pull
requests from strangers; a runner executes whatever the workflow checks out, so a
`pull_request` trigger would run an unread stranger's code on the runner host.
Push-only means the runner only ever executes code that someone with push rights
put there.
The cost is real: a pull request gets no automatic check. Read the diff, push the
branch yourself, and let it run then.
## What has to exist first
### 1. Actions enabled on the forge
Off by default here, deliberately — see `homedocs/services/forgejo-public.md`.
In `app.ini` on moria:
```ini
[actions]
ENABLED = true
```
```console
$ ssh moria 'cd ~/docker-services/forgejo-public && docker compose down && docker compose up -d'
```
Always restart the whole stack. `network_mode: service:forge-wg` means restarting
the forge alone silently strips its networking.
### 2. A runner
The forge has no default route and cannot address the LAN, so it cannot reach a
runner. Runners poll outward, so register one against the **public** URL and let
it come to the forge the same way any other client does:
```console
$ forgejo-runner register --no-interactive \
--instance https://git.pumpin.online \
--token <from Settings → Actions → Runners> \
--name <host> --labels docker
```
It needs Docker and outbound internet — it fetches crates and wheels. It executes
repository code, so put it somewhere you would be willing to lose, not on a host
that matters. moria runs the MCP servers and the forge itself; that is the wrong
box for it.
### 3. A PyPI token
Registered under the **funkpower** account. Make it **project-scoped to
typikon**, not account-wide, and add it as the repository secret `PYPI_TOKEN`.
PyPI's trusted publishing is OIDC and supports GitHub, GitLab, Google Cloud Build
and ActiveState — not Forgejo. So this forge has to hold a long-lived credential,
and scoping it to the one project is the whole of the mitigation available: if
the forge is compromised, what is lost is the ability to publish typikon, not
every package the account owns.
Rotate it at `pypi.org/manage/account/token/` if the forge is ever suspect.
## What gets published
| | |
|---|---|
| `typikon-X.Y.Z.tar.gz` | sdist — builds from source anywhere with a Rust toolchain |
| `…-cp39-abi3-manylinux…x86_64.whl` | |
| `…-cp39-abi3-manylinux…aarch64.whl` | cross-built with `maturin --zig` |
abi3, so one wheel per platform covers every Python from 3.9 up rather than one
per interpreter.
**No macOS or Windows wheels.** Forgejo has no hosted runners, so those need a
Mac and a Windows box registered as runners. Until then both fall back to the
sdist, which needs a Rust toolchain on the installing machine — fine for
developers, a wall for everyone else.
## Checking a release without publishing
```console
$ maturin build --release --out dist && maturin sdist --out dist
$ twine check dist/*
$ python -m venv /tmp/v && /tmp/v/bin/pip install --no-binary :all: dist/*.tar.gz
$ /tmp/v/bin/python -c 'import typikon, datetime; print(typikon.today())'
```
Installing from the sdist with `--no-binary` is the one that catches a missing
file, because it builds the crate from exactly what PyPI would hand someone.
