fix: composite nested uses clone token (#1041)

## Summary

A nested `uses:` action inside a **local composite action** fails to clone with a bare `authentication required: Unauthorized` (401) when the instance resolves host-less action references against itself (`DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL = self`). The job fails at the composite **main→post boundary**, even though the composite's own steps and all post-steps report success.

## Root cause

`newCompositeRunContext` nils `Config.Secrets` so composite steps do not see job secrets. But the action-clone path in `prepareActionExecutor` sourced its token via `getGitCloneToken` → `Config.GetToken()` → `Config.Secrets`, which is empty inside a composite RunContext. The nested action is therefore cloned anonymously → 401 against the authenticated instance.

Two details explain the exact symptom:

- It surfaces at the composite **main→post boundary** because the swallowed nested-step error is re-emitted by `common.JobError` at the end of the composite main pipeline.
- It carries **no clone URL** because, on a warm action cache, only `r.Fetch` runs (not `PlainClone`), and the go-git fetch error is returned verbatim.

## Fix

Source the clone token from `github.Token` instead of `Config.Secrets`. It is preserved across the composite config copy (`Config.Token` / `PresetGitHubContext`) and is identical to `Config.GetToken()` at the top level, so top-level and `act exec` behaviour is unchanged. The `shouldCloneURLUseToken` host gate is kept so the token is never sent to a foreign host. This also aligns the git-clone path with the ActionCache fetch path, which already uses `github.Token`.

Reusable workflows are unaffected — their RunContext keeps `Config.Secrets`.

## Before / after

Local composite action with a nested `uses:` (+ post step), followed by a marker step. Same workflow, same runner host — only the runner fix differs.

| Job step | Before fix | After fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Run actions/checkout@v6` | ✅ success | ✅ success |
| `Run ./.gitea/actions/probe-composite` (nested `uses:` + post) | ❌ **failure** — bare 401 at the main→post boundary | ✅ success |
| `Step after composite` | ⊘ **skipped** | ✅ **ran** |
| Job result | ❌ **failed** | ✅ **succeeded** |

### Before — boundary log

```text
::endgroup::
##[error]authentication required: Unauthorized   ← bare 401, no clone target
Run Post ./.gitea/actions/probe-composite
Success - Post ./.gitea/actions/probe-composite  ← post steps run and succeed
Success - Post actions/checkout@v6
Job failed
```

The composite's own steps and both post-steps report `Success`; the job fails solely on the bare 401 emitted at the main→post boundary, and the next step is skipped.

### After — boundary log

```text
Run ./.gitea/actions/probe-composite
  ...composite steps...
Success - ./.gitea/actions/probe-composite
Run Marker after composite
PASSED composite boundary — no 401 (runner fix confirmed)
Success - Marker after composite
Job succeeded
```

## Reproduction

`.gitea/actions/probe-composite/action.yml`:

```yaml
name: probe-composite
runs:
  using: composite
  steps:
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v6   # nested uses → has a post step
      with: { node-version: 22 }
    - run: echo "composite inner step OK"
      shell: bash
```

`.gitea/workflows/probe.yaml`:

```yaml
on: [push]
jobs:
  composite-boundary:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
      - uses: ./.gitea/actions/probe-composite
      - run: echo "step after composite"   # skipped before the fix; runs after
```

## Verification

- **Before:** bare 401 at the boundary, reproduced with a `delay=0` tail — rules out a token-TTL / expiry effect; it is a missing credential.
- **After:** the composite step succeeds, the step after the composite runs, the job succeeds, and there is no `authentication required` in the log.
- A reusable workflow (`workflow_call`) with the same nested `uses:` + post step never hit the 401, which isolated the bug to the composite main/post path.

## Tests

Adds `TestStepActionRemoteCloneTokenSurvivesNilSecrets` (`act/runner`): asserts the clone token is forwarded when the RunContext mirrors a composite (`Secrets == nil`, token via `Config.Token`), and that the host gate still withholds the token for a foreign host. Verified to fail without the fix and pass with it.

+
+### Image flavours
+
+The image is published in three flavours, all built from the single multi-stage [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) in this repository. They differ only in how a Docker daemon is made available to the jobs the runner executes; the `gitea-runner` binary inside them is identical.
+
+| Tag | Build target | Base image | Docker daemon | Process supervisor | Runs as |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `latest` (and `<version>`) | `basic` | `alpine` | none — uses an external daemon you provide | [`tini`](https://github.com/krallin/tini) | `root` |
+| `latest-dind` | `dind` | `docker:dind` | bundled, started inside the container | [`s6`](https://skarnet.org/software/s6/) | `root` (privileged) |
+| `latest-dind-rootless` | `dind-rootless` | `docker:dind-rootless` | bundled, started rootless inside the container | [`s6`](https://skarnet.org/software/s6/) | `rootless` (UID 1000) |
+
+#### `latest` — basic
+
+The default flavour ships only the runner on a minimal Alpine base. It contains **no Docker daemon of its own**: jobs that use `docker://` images need a daemon supplied from outside the container, typically by bind-mounting the host's socket:
+
+```bash
+docker run -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=https://your_gitea.com -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<your_token> \
+  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name my_runner gitea/runner:latest
+```
+
+`tini` is the entrypoint (it reaps zombie processes), and it just runs [`scripts/run.sh`](scripts/run.sh), which registers the runner on first start and then execs `gitea-runner daemon`. This flavour does not need `--privileged`. The trade-off is that jobs share the host's daemon, so they can see other containers and images on that daemon.
+
+#### `latest-dind` — Docker-in-Docker
+
+This flavour is based on the official `docker:dind` image and bundles its own Docker daemon, so it needs no external socket — only the `--privileged` flag that Docker-in-Docker requires:
+
+```bash
+docker run --privileged -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=https://your_gitea.com -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<your_token> \
+  --name my_runner gitea/runner:latest-dind
+```
+
+Two processes have to run side by side here (the Docker daemon and the runner), so the entrypoint is the [`s6`](https://skarnet.org/software/s6/) supervision tree under [`scripts/s6`](scripts/s6) instead of `tini`. `s6` starts `dockerd`, and the runner service waits for the daemon to come up (`s6-svwait`) before launching [`run.sh`](scripts/run.sh). Each container has a private daemon isolated from the host's, at the cost of running privileged.
+
+#### `latest-dind-rootless` — rootless Docker-in-Docker
+
+Same idea as `dind`, but built on `docker:dind-rootless` so the bundled daemon and the runner run as an unprivileged user (`rootless`, UID 1000) rather than `root`. `DOCKER_HOST` is preset to `unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock` so the runner talks to the rootless daemon. This reduces the blast radius compared to the privileged `dind` flavour, but rootless Docker carries the usual rootless limitations (networking, cgroups, storage drivers, and some operations that need additional host configuration such as `/etc/subuid` / `/etc/subgid` mappings and unprivileged user-namespace support).
+
+> **Note on Podman:** these images target the Docker daemon. The bundled `dind`/`dind-rootless` daemons are `dockerd`, not Podman, and the `basic` flavour expects a Docker-compatible socket. Running them under rootless Podman is not a supported configuration, though pointing the `basic` flavour at a Podman socket that emulates the Docker API may work for some workloads.
+
 ### Configuration
 
-You can also configure the runner with a configuration file.
+The runner is configured with a YAML file. Generate a starting point (this matches what ships in the tree):
-The configuration file is a YAML file, you can generate a sample configuration file with `./act_runner generate-config`.
 
 ```bash
-./act_runner generate-config > config.yaml
+./gitea-runner generate-config > config.yaml
 ```
 
-You can specify the configuration file path with `-c`/`--config` argument.
+Pass it with `-c` / `--config` on any command that loads configuration (`register`, `daemon`, `cache-server`):
 
 ```bash
-./act_runner -c config.yaml register # register with config file
+./gitea-runner -c config.yaml register
-./act_runner -c config.yaml daemon # run with config file
+./gitea-runner -c config.yaml daemon
+./gitea-runner -c config.yaml cache-server
 ```
 
-You can read the latest version of the configuration file online at [config.example.yaml](internal/pkg/config/config.example.yaml).
+Every option is described in [config.example.yaml](internal/pkg/config/config.example.yaml) (the same content `generate-config` prints).
+
+#### Without a config file
+
+If you omit `-c`, built-in defaults apply (same as an empty YAML document). A small set of **deprecated** environment variables can still override parts of that default config, but **only when no `-c` path was given**; they are ignored if you use a config file:
+
+| Variable | Effect |
+| --- | --- |
+| `GITEA_DEBUG` | If true, sets log level to `debug` |
+| `GITEA_TRACE` | If true, sets log level to `trace` |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_CAPACITY` | Concurrent jobs (integer) |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_FILE` | Registration state file path (default `.runner`) |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_ENVIRON` | Extra job env vars as comma-separated `KEY:VALUE` pairs |
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_ENV_FILE` | Path to an env file merged into job env (same idea as `runner.env_file` in YAML) |
+
+Prefer a YAML file for all settings.
+
+#### Registration vs config labels
+
+If `runner.labels` is set in the YAML file, those labels are used during `register` and the `--labels` CLI flag is ignored.
+
+#### Caching (`actions/cache`)
+
+Each runner starts its own cache server automatically. Cache entries are local to that runner — runners do not share a cache by default.
+
+**Shared cache across multiple runners**
+
+Run one dedicated `gitea-runner cache-server` that all runners point at.
+
+1. Create a config file for the cache server host:
+
+   ```yaml
+   cache:
+     dir: /data/actcache
+     port: 8088
+     external_secret: "replace-with-a-strong-random-secret"
+   ```
+
+2. Start the server:
+
+   ```bash
+   gitea-runner -c cache-server-config.yaml cache-server
+   ```
+
+3. On every runner:
+
+   ```yaml
+   cache:
+     external_server: "http://<cache-server-host>:8088/"
+     external_secret: "replace-with-a-strong-random-secret"  # must match the server
+   ```
+
+Alternatively, mount the same NFS/CIFS share on every runner and point `cache.dir` at it — simpler, but with weaker isolation between repositories.
+
+**S3 / MinIO** — mount object storage as a FUSE filesystem (e.g. [s3fs](https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse) or [goofys](https://github.com/kahing/goofys)) and set `cache.dir` to the mount point.
+
+Flags `--dir`, `--host`, and `--port` on `cache-server` override the corresponding `cache.*` YAML keys; all other settings, including `external_secret`, require the config file.
+
+#### Official Docker image
+
+Besides `GITEA_INSTANCE_URL` and `GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN`, the image entrypoint supports optional variables such as `CONFIG_FILE` (passed through as `-c`), `GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS`, `GITEA_RUNNER_EPHEMERAL`, `GITEA_RUNNER_ONCE`, `GITEA_RUNNER_NAME`, `GITEA_MAX_REG_ATTEMPTS`, `RUNNER_STATE_FILE`, and `GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN_FILE`. See [scripts/run.sh](scripts/run.sh) for exact behavior.
+
+For a fuller container-oriented walkthrough, see [examples/docker](examples/docker/README.md).
+
+When `container.bind_workdir` is enabled, stale task workspace directories can be cleaned while the runner is idle:
+- directories older than `runner.workdir_cleanup_age` are removed (default: `24h`; set `0` to disable)
+- cleanup runs every `runner.idle_cleanup_interval` (default: `10m`; set `0` to disable)
+- only purely numeric subdirectories under `container.workdir_parent` are treated as task workspaces and may be removed
+- cleanup assumes `container.workdir_parent` is not shared across multiple runners
+
+#### Post-task script (`runner.post_task_script`)
+
+Optional host script that runs **after** each task's built-in cleanup (post-steps, container teardown, bind-workdir removal). Use it for extra machine housekeeping — Docker pruning, disk cleanup, and similar.
+
+**While the script runs, the runner stops task heartbeats and stays offline from Gitea's perspective until the script exits (or hits `runner.post_task_script_timeout`, default `5m`).** A script that blocks without exiting keeps the runner from taking new work for up to that timeout. Script output goes to the runner log, not the job log; a non-zero exit is warned but does not change the job result.
+
+On Windows, use `.exe`, `.bat`, or `.cmd` paths; **PowerShell (`.ps1`) is not supported yet** as the configured path — wrap commands in a `.cmd` file instead.
+
+See **[docs/post-task-script.md](docs/post-task-script.md)** for lifecycle details, environment variables, timeout interaction, and platform notes.
