Erich Blume 27d8f3cf1f Review gandi-operations doc and reorganize how-to guides (#200)
## Summary
- **Doc review:** Reviewed `gandi-operations.md` — added `last-reviewed` frontmatter, verified all wiki-links, confirmed Pulumi state has no drift
- **Gandi reference fix:** Added missing `cv.eblu.me` CNAME row to `gandi.md` DNS records table (was present in Pulumi but undocumented)
- **Pulumi comment fix:** Updated stale `README.md` reference in `__main__.py` to point to `docs/how-to/gandi-operations.md`
- **How-to reorg:** Moved 14 how-to guides into 3 subdirectories (`deployment/`, `configuration/`, `operations/`), collapsed the Documentation and Database index sections into Configuration and Operations respectively

## Verification
- `docs-check-links` — all 180 wiki-links valid
- `docs-check-filenames` — all 90 filenames unique
- `dns-preview` — 5 resources unchanged, no drift
- All pre-commit hooks pass

## Test plan
- [ ] Verify docs site builds correctly with new paths
- [ ] Spot-check a few wiki-links from other pages to moved how-to guides

# Create a Release Artifact Workflow
How to set up a Forgejo Actions workflow that builds an artifact and publishes it to Forgejo generic packages. Uses the CV repo (`forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/cv`) workflow as the reference implementation.
## Prerequisites
- A Forgejo repo with a build pipeline (Dagger, script, etc.)
- The `FORGE_TOKEN` secret provisioned via the `forgejo_actions_secrets` Ansible role
## 1. Add the repo to Ansible secrets
In `ansible/roles/forgejo_actions_secrets/defaults/main.yml`, add an entry under `forgejo_actions_secrets_repos`:
```yaml
forgejo_actions_secrets_repos:
- repo: my-repo
secrets:
- name: FORGE_TOKEN
value_var: forgejo_api_token
```
Then provision: `mise run provision-indri -- --tags forgejo_actions_secrets`
This is required because Forgejo's built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not have permissions for the packages API.
## 2. Create the workflow
Create `.forgejo/workflows/<name>-release.yaml` with `workflow_dispatch` and a version input. Use the semver bump pattern (see `cv-release.yaml` for the full upload flow, or `build-blumeops.yaml` for the version bump logic only — it uploads to Forgejo releases, not generic packages).
The upload step uses `FORGE_TOKEN`:
```yaml
- name: Upload to Forgejo packages
env:
FORGE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FORGE_TOKEN }}
run: |
curl -fsSL \
-X PUT \
-H "Authorization: token $FORGE_TOKEN" \
--upload-file "./$TARBALL" \
"https://forge.ops.eblu.me/api/packages/eblume/generic/<package>/${VERSION}/${TARBALL}"
```
## 3. Link the package to the repo
After the first successful upload, the package appears under your **user-level** packages at `https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/-/packages` but is not yet linked to the repo.
To link it:
1. Go to `https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/-/packages`
2. Click the package name
3. Click **Settings**
4. Under **Link this package to a repository**, select the repo
5. Click **Save**
Once linked, the package shows up in the repo's **Packages** tab and the repo links back to the package.
## 4. Create a deploy workflow (optional)
If the artifact is consumed by a k8s deployment, create a separate deploy workflow in blumeops (see `cv-deploy.yaml`). This keeps the build/release concern in the source repo and the deploy concern in blumeops.
