Erich Blume 5af97e6a7e Drop build_changelog, simplify build_docs to Quartz-only
build_changelog is no longer needed — towncrier now runs on the runner
before Dagger. build_docs becomes the direct Quartz build (no towncrier
delegation). Update docs to match.

# Dagger
Build engine for BlumeOps CI/CD pipelines. Replaces shell-based build scripts with Python functions that run identically locally and in CI.
## Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Module** | `blumeops-ci` |
| **Engine Version** | v0.19.11 |
| **SDK** | Python |
| **Source** | `.dagger/src/blumeops_ci/main.py` |
| **Config** | `dagger.json` |
## Functions
| Function | Signature | Description |
|----------|-----------|-------------|
| `build` | `(src, container_name) → Container` | Build a container from `containers/<name>/Dockerfile` |
| `publish` | `(src, container_name, version, registry?) → str` | Build and push to registry (default: `registry.ops.eblu.me`) |
| `build_docs` | `(src, version) → File` | Build Quartz docs site, return docs tarball |
## CLI Examples
```bash
# Build a container
dagger call build --src=. --container-name=devpi
# Drop into container shell for inspection
dagger call build --src=. --container-name=devpi terminal
# Debug a failure interactively
dagger call --interactive build --src=. --container-name=devpi
# Publish a container to zot
dagger call publish --src=. --container-name=devpi --version=v1.1.0
# Build docs tarball locally
dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev export --path=./docs-dev.tar.gz
# Debug a docs build failure
dagger call --interactive build-docs --src=. --version=dev
```
## Secrets
Dagger has a first-class `Secret` type — values are never logged or cached. Pass secrets from environment variables using the `env:VAR` syntax:
```bash
dagger call release-docs \
--src=. --version=v1.6.0 \
--forgejo-token=env:FORGEJO_TOKEN \
--argocd-token=env:ARGOCD_TOKEN
```
In [[forgejo]] Actions, secrets are injected as env vars. Locally, mise tasks call `op read` to populate them.
## Caveats
- **Pre-1.0 API** — Current version is v0.19.x. Pin the CLI version and test upgrades on a branch before adopting.
- **Privileged container** — The Dagger engine requires privileged container access. The Forgejo runner's DinD sidecar provides this.
