+# Gitea Actions Workflows Documentation
+
+This directory contains the CI/CD workflows for the Horus project using Gitea Actions.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Horus project uses two main workflows:
+
+1. **[ci.yml](./ci.yml)** - Continuous Integration workflow
+2. **[release.yml](./release.yml)** - Release automation workflow
+
+## Workflow Files
+
+### ci.yml - Continuous Integration
+
+**Purpose**: Automatically build, test, and validate code quality on every push and pull request.
+
+**Triggers**:
+- Push to any branch
+- Pull request events (opened, synchronized, reopened)
+
+**What it does**:
+1. Sets up Rust toolchain
+2. Caches dependencies for faster builds
+3. Runs code quality checks (check, test, clippy, fmt)
+4. Builds all 7 binaries in release mode
+5. Uploads binaries as artifacts
+
+**Duration**: ~5-15 minutes (first run), ~2-5 minutes (cached runs)
+
+**Artifacts**: Binaries are stored for 7 days and can be downloaded from the Actions tab
+
+---
+
+### release.yml - Release Automation
+
+**Purpose**: Automatically create GitHub-style releases with downloadable binaries when version tags are pushed.
+
+**Triggers**:
+- Tags matching `v*.*.*` pattern (e.g., `v1.0.0`, `v2.1.3`)
+
+**What it does**:
+1. Builds optimized release binaries
+2. Strips debug symbols to reduce size
+3. Packages each binary as a tarball
+4. Generates SHA256 checksums
+5. Creates a Gitea release with all artifacts attached
+
+**Duration**: ~5-10 minutes
+
+**Artifacts**: Permanently attached to the release
+
+---
+
+## Binaries Built
+
+Both workflows build the following 7 binaries:
+
+| Binary Name | Description |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| `supervisor` | Hero Supervisor service |
+| `coordinator` | Hero Coordinator service |
+| `horus` | Horus main binary |
+| `osiris` | Osiris server |
+| `herorunner` | Hero runner |
+| `runner_osiris` | Osiris runner |
+| `runner_sal` | SAL runner |
+
+---
+
+## Usage Guide
+
+### Testing Code Changes
+
+Every time you push code or create a pull request, the CI workflow automatically runs:
+
+```bash
+# Make your changes
+git add .
+git commit -m "Your changes"
+git push origin your-branch
+
+# Or create a pull request
+# The CI workflow will run automatically
+```
+
+**Check Results**:
+1. Go to your Gitea repository
+2. Click on the **Actions** tab
+3. Find your workflow run
+4. Click to see detailed logs
+
+---
+
+### Creating a Release
+
+To create a new release with binaries:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Ensure your code is ready for release
+# 2. Create a version tag (use semantic versioning)
+git tag v1.0.0
+
+# 3. Push the tag
+git push origin v1.0.0
+
+# 4. The release workflow will automatically:
+#    - Build all binaries
+#    - Create a release
+#    - Attach binaries and checksums
+```
+
+**View Release**:
+1. Go to your Gitea repository
+2. Click on the **Releases** tab
+3. Your new release will be listed with downloadable artifacts
+
+---
+
+### Downloading Release Binaries
+
+Users can download binaries from releases:
+
+```bash
+# Download a specific binary
+wget https://git.ourworld.tf/peternashaat/horus/releases/download/v1.0.0/supervisor-v1.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
+
+# Extract
+tar -xzf supervisor-v1.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
+
+# Make executable
+chmod +x supervisor
+
+# Optionally move to system path
+sudo mv supervisor /usr/local/bin/
+
+# Verify it works
+supervisor --help
+```
+
+**Verify Integrity**:
+```bash
+# Download checksums
+wget https://git.ourworld.tf/peternashaat/horus/releases/download/v1.0.0/checksums.txt
+
+# Verify a binary
+sha256sum -c checksums.txt
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Requirements
+
+### Runner Configuration
+
+Your Gitea Actions runner must be configured with these labels:
+- `ubuntu-latest` (recommended)
+- `ubuntu-22.04` (alternative)
+- `ubuntu-20.04` (alternative)
+
+### Permissions
+
+The workflows require:
+- Read access to repository code
+- Write access to create releases (for release.yml)
+- Access to `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret (automatically provided by Gitea)
+
+### Dependencies
+
+The workflows automatically install:
+- Rust stable toolchain
+- rustfmt (code formatter)
+- clippy (linter)
+
+No manual setup required!
+
+---
+
+## Caching Strategy
+
+The CI workflow uses three levels of caching to speed up builds:
+
+1. **Cargo Registry Cache** - Downloaded crate metadata
+2. **Cargo Index Cache** - Git index of crates.io
+3. **Build Cache** - Compiled dependencies
+
+**Benefits**:
+- First build: ~10-15 minutes
+- Cached builds: ~2-5 minutes
+- Saves bandwidth and runner resources
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### CI Workflow Fails
+
+**Check these common issues**:
+
+1. **Compilation Errors**
+   - Review the "Check code" step logs
+   - Fix Rust compilation errors locally first
+
+2. **Test Failures**
+   - Review the "Run tests" step logs
+   - Run `cargo test --workspace` locally to reproduce
+
+3. **Clippy Warnings**
+   - Review the "Run clippy" step logs
+   - Fix with: `cargo clippy --workspace --fix`
+
+4. **Formatting Issues**
+   - Review the "Check formatting" step logs
+   - Fix with: `cargo fmt --all`
+
+5. **Runner Offline**
+   - Check if your Gitea Actions runner is running
+   - Verify runner labels match workflow requirements
+
+### Release Workflow Fails
+
+**Check these common issues**:
+
+1. **Tag Format**
+   - Ensure tag matches `v*.*.*` pattern
+   - Examples: `v1.0.0`, `v2.1.3`, `v0.1.0-beta`
+
+2. **Binary Not Found**
+   - Check if all binaries built successfully
+   - Review the "Build release binaries" step logs
+
+3. **Permission Denied**
+   - Ensure runner has write access to create releases
+   - Check repository settings
+
+4. **Release Already Exists**
+   - Delete the existing release first
+   - Or use a different version tag
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Version Tagging
+
+Use [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
+- `v1.0.0` - Major release (breaking changes)
+- `v1.1.0` - Minor release (new features)
+- `v1.0.1` - Patch release (bug fixes)
+- `v1.0.0-beta.1` - Pre-release
+
+### Commit Messages
+
+Write clear commit messages for better release notes:
+```bash
+git commit -m "feat: Add new authentication system"
+git commit -m "fix: Resolve memory leak in supervisor"
+git commit -m "docs: Update installation guide"
+```
+
+### Testing Before Release
+
+Always test before creating a release:
+```bash
+# Run all checks locally
+cargo check --workspace
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+
+# Build release binaries locally
+cargo build --workspace --release
+
+# Test the binaries
+./target/release/supervisor --help
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Customization
+
+### Changing Rust Version
+
+Edit the toolchain in both workflows:
+```yaml
+- name: Setup Rust toolchain
+  uses: actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1
+  with:
+    toolchain: 1.75.0  # Specify exact version
+```
+
+### Adding More Binaries
+
+If you add new binaries to the workspace:
+
+1. Update `ci.yml` - Add to the upload artifacts step
+2. Update `release.yml` - Add to strip and package steps
+3. Update this README
+
+### Changing Artifact Retention
+
+In `ci.yml`, modify the retention period:
+```yaml
+retention-days: 30  # Keep for 30 days instead of 7
+```
+
+### Adding Build Matrix
+
+To build for multiple platforms, add a matrix strategy:
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  build:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
+    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### View Workflow Status
+
+**In Gitea UI**:
+1. Repository → Actions tab
+2. See all workflow runs
+3. Click any run for detailed logs
+
+**Via Git**:
+```bash
+# List recent tags
+git tag -l
+
+# Show tag details
+git show v1.0.0
+```
+
+### Workflow Badges
+
+Add status badges to your README:
+```markdown
+![CI Status](https://git.ourworld.tf/peternashaat/horus/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Secrets
+
+The workflows use `GITHUB_TOKEN` which is automatically provided by Gitea. This token:
+- Has repository-scoped permissions
+- Expires after the workflow run
+- Cannot be accessed by pull requests from forks (for security)
+
+### Binary Verification
+
+Always verify downloaded binaries:
+```bash
+# Check SHA256 hash
+sha256sum binary-name
+# Compare with checksums.txt
+```
+
+### Supply Chain Security
+
+The workflows:
+- Use pinned action versions (`@v4`, `@v1`)
+- Build from source (no pre-built binaries)
+- Generate checksums for verification
+

+            - `herorunner`
+            - `runner_osiris`
+            - `runner_sal`
+
+            ### Installation (example)
+            ```bash
+            wget https://git.ourworld.tf/herocode/horus/releases/download/${{ steps.version.outputs.VERSION }}/supervisor-${{ steps.version.outputs.VERSION }}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

+# `hero-git` Docker Image
+
+This directory contains a reusable Docker image and entrypoint script used to build Hero / Horus binaries via the V-based **herolib** installers.
+
+It is designed for two main use cases:
+
+1. **Local development / testing** – run the herolib CLI (`hero`) and Horus installers in a clean, reproducible environment.
+2. **CI / Release builds** – build Horus binaries inside this image (using `horus_full_install.vsh`) and export them as release artifacts.
+
+---
+
+## Files
+
+### `Dockerfile`
+
+The `Dockerfile` builds an Ubuntu-based image with all dependencies needed for `herolib` and its installers.
+
+Key points:
+
+* Base: `ubuntu:24.04`
+* Installs system tooling:
+
+  * `ssh`, `wget`, `curl`, `unzip`, `build-essential`, `git`, `git-lfs`
+  * `redis-server`, `libsqlite3-dev`, `libpq-dev`, `autoconf`, `libtool`, `net-tools`, `iputils-ping`, `rsync`, `mc`, `tmux`, `ufw`, `xz-utils`
+* Installs **V** compiler:
+
+  * Downloads `v_linux.zip` from the official V GitHub releases
+  * Unzips it and runs `./v symlink` so `v` is on the `PATH`
+* Installs **Bun** (used for the docusaurus docs template):
+
+  * `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`
+* Clones:
+
+  * `https://github.com/Incubaid/herolib` into `/opt/herolib`
+  * `https://github.com/incubaid/docusaurus_template` into `/root/code/github/incubaid/docusaurus_template`
+* Warms Bun dependencies for the docusaurus template (for faster re-use):
+
+  * `cd /root/code/github/incubaid/docusaurus_template/template && bun install`
+* Prepares directories:
+
+  * `/root/.vmodules/incubaid` – used by V module resolution
+  * `/root/ssh` – optional mount point for SSH keys
+* Copies `entrypoint.sh` into the image and marks it executable.
+
+The container’s entrypoint is set to the custom script `/bin/entrypoint.sh`.
+
+---
+
+### `entrypoint.sh`
+
+The entrypoint script is responsible for:
+
+1. Starting **Redis** in the background.
+2. Optionally configuring **SSH** (if keys are provided).
+3. Selecting the correct `herolib` source (mounted or cloned).
+4. Checking out the desired `herolib` branch.
+5. Building the `hero` CLI with V and making it available as `/bin/hero`.
+6. Finally, executing any command passed to `docker run`.
+
+#### Behavior in detail
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -euo pipefail
+
+# Start Redis in the background
+redis-server --daemonize yes
+
+# Optional SSH setup: only if /root/ssh has keys
+if [ -d /root/ssh ] && compgen -G "/root/ssh/*" > /dev/null; then
+    mkdir -p /root/.ssh
+    cp -r /root/ssh/* /root/.ssh/
+    chmod 600 /root/.ssh/*
+    eval "$(ssh-agent)"
+    ssh-add /root/.ssh/*
+fi
+
+# Support optionally bind-mounting a local herolib into the container.
+# If /opt/herolib_mount exists, we use that; otherwise we use the cloned /opt/herolib
+rm -f /root/.vmodules/freeflowuniverse/herolib
+if [ -d "/opt/herolib_mount" ]; then
+    ln -s /opt/herolib_mount/lib /root/.vmodules/incubaid/herolib
+    cd /opt/herolib_mount
+else
+    ln -s /opt/herolib/lib /root/.vmodules/incubaid/herolib
+    cd /opt/herolib
+    git fetch
+    git checkout "${HEROLIB_REF:-development}"
+    git pull
+fi
+
+cd cli
+echo "Building hero..."
+v -enable-globals hero.v > build.log 2>&1 || (cat build.log && exit 1)
+ln -s "$(realpath hero)" /bin/hero
+
+cd /root
+
+# If a command was provided to `docker run`, execute it as-is.
+# Example: docker run hero-git:latest bash -lc 'cd /opt/herolib && ./examples/installers/horus/horus_full_install.vsh'
+if [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; then
+    exec "$@"
+else
+    # No command passed → give an interactive shell
+    exec bash
+fi
+```
+
+#### Important environment variables
+
+* `HEROLIB_REF`
+
+  * Git ref (branch, tag, or commit) used when checking out `/opt/herolib`.
+  * Default: `development`.
+  * Example for CI: `HEROLIB_REF=development_nile_installers`.
+
+#### Optional mounts
+
+* `/opt/herolib_mount`
+
+  * If you bind-mount your local `herolib` repo here, the container will use it instead of the cloned `/opt/herolib`.
+  * Useful for local development when you want to test uncommitted changes.
+* `/root/ssh`
+
+  * Optional directory containing SSH keys (e.g. `id_ed25519`) if you need to access private repositories.
+  * If present and non-empty, keys are copied to `/root/.ssh` and added to an SSH agent.
+
+---
+
+## What this image is used for
+
+### 1. Local development / experimentation
+
+You can drop into the container and manually run installers or commands against `herolib`:
+
+```bash
+# Interactive shell with default branch
+docker run -it --rm hero-git:latest
+
+# Use a specific herolib ref
+docker run -it --rm -e HEROLIB_REF=development_nile_installers hero-git:latest
+
+# Mount a local herolib repo and use that instead of the cloned one
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -v "$PWD/herolib:/opt/herolib_mount" \
+  hero-git:latest
+```
+
+Inside the container you can then run:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/herolib
+./examples/installers/horus/horus_full_install.vsh
+```
+
+### 2. CI / Release builds for Horus
+
+In CI (e.g. the `release.yml` workflow), this image is used to build Horus binaries via the V-based installer script:
+
+* The workflow:
+
+  1. Ensures `hero-git:latest` is available on the self-hosted runner.
+  2. Creates a local directory (e.g. `hero-bin/`) on the runner.
+  3. Runs the container, mounting `hero-bin/` into `/root/hero/bin`.
+  4. Inside the container, executes `./examples/installers/horus/horus_full_install.vsh` from `/opt/herolib`.
+  5. The installer writes the compiled Horus binaries into `/root/hero/bin`, which appear on the host inside `hero-bin/`.
+  6. The workflow then packages those binaries into `.tar.gz` archives and uploads them as release artifacts.
+
+Example CI step:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Run horus_full_install installer in container
+  run: |
+    set -euxo pipefail
+
+    docker run --rm \
+      -v "$PWD/hero-bin:/root/hero/bin" \
+      -e HEROLIB_REF=development_nile_installers \
+      hero-git:latest \
+      bash -lc '
+        set -euxo pipefail
+        cd /opt/herolib
+        ./examples/installers/horus/horus_full_install.vsh
+        echo "===== AFTER INSTALL, ls -R /root/hero ====="
+        ls -R /root/hero || true
+      '
+```
+
+After this step, `hero-bin/` on the host should contain binaries like:
+
+* `supervisor`
+* `coordinator`
+* `horus`
+* `osiris`
+* `herorunner`
+* `runner_osiris`
+* `runner_sal`
+
+These are then packaged and attached to the Gitea release.
+
+---
+
+## How to build the image
+
+From the directory containing the `Dockerfile` and `entrypoint.sh`:
+
+```bash
+# Build the image (force a clean rebuild)
+docker build --no-cache -t hero-git:latest .
+
+# Verify entrypoint contents
+docker run --rm --entrypoint cat hero-git:latest /bin/entrypoint.sh | tail -n 20
+```
+
+You should see the `exec "$@"` block at the end of the script, which ensures that commands passed to `docker run` are executed as-is inside the container.
+
+---
+
+## How to run the image (examples)
+
+### Basic interactive usage
+
+```bash
+# Default branch (HEROLIB_REF=development)
+docker run -it --rm hero-git:latest
+
+# Specific herolib ref
+export HEROLIB_REF=development_nile_installers
+
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -e HEROLIB_REF=$HEROLIB_REF \
+  hero-git:latest
+```
+
+### Build Horus binaries into a host directory
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p hero-bin
+
+docker run --rm \
+  -v "$PWD/hero-bin:/root/hero/bin" \
+  -e HEROLIB_REF=development_nile_installers \
+  hero-git:latest \
+  bash -lc '
+    set -euxo pipefail
+    cd /opt/herolib
+    ./examples/installers/horus/horus_full_install.vsh
+    ls -al /root/hero/bin
+  '
+
+ls -al hero-bin
+```
+
+You should now see the built Horus binaries on the host in `hero-bin/`.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+* The `hero-git:latest` image encapsulates all dependencies required to build Horus via `herolib`.
+* `entrypoint.sh`:
+
+  * Starts Redis
+  * Optionally configures SSH
+  * Selects and updates the `herolib` checkout
+  * Builds the `hero` CLI once
+  * Runs any command passed to the container (e.g. Horus installers)
+* CI uses this image to run `horus_full_install.vsh` and collect Horus binaries from `/root/hero/bin` for releases.

+# End-to-End Integration Tests
+
+This directory contains end-to-end integration tests for the Horus system components. Each test file spawns the actual binary and tests it via its client library.
+
+## Test Files
+
+### `coordinator.rs`
+End-to-end tests for the Hero Coordinator service.
+
+**Tests:**
+- Actor creation and loading
+- Context creation and management
+- Runner registration and configuration
+- Job creation with dependencies
+- Flow creation and DAG generation
+- Flow execution (start)
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Redis server running on `127.0.0.1:6379`
+- Port `9652` (HTTP API) and `9653` (WebSocket API) available
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cargo test --test coordinator -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+### `supervisor.rs`
+End-to-end tests for the Hero Supervisor service.
+
+**Tests:**
+- OpenRPC discovery
+- Runner registration and management
+- Job creation and execution
+- Job status tracking
+- API key generation and management
+- Authentication verification
+- Complete workflow integration
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Redis server running on `127.0.0.1:6379`
+- Port `3031` available
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cargo test --test coordinator -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+### `runner_hero.rs`
+End-to-end tests for the Hero (Python) runner.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Python 3 installed
+- Redis server running
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cargo test --test runner_hero -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+### `runner_osiris.rs`
+End-to-end tests for the Osiris (V language) runner.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- V language compiler installed
+- Redis server running
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cargo test --test runner_osiris -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+### `runner_sal.rs`
+End-to-end tests for the Sal (Rhai scripting) runner.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Redis server running
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cargo test --test runner_sal -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+## Running All Tests
+
+To run all end-to-end tests sequentially:
+
+```bash
+cargo test --tests -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Sequential Execution Required
+
+All tests **must** be run with `--test-threads=1` because:
+1. Each test spawns a server process that binds to specific ports
+2. Tests share Redis databases and may conflict if run in parallel
+3. Process cleanup needs to happen sequentially
+
+### Redis Requirement
+
+All tests require a Redis server running on `127.0.0.1:6379`. You can start Redis with:
+
+```bash
+redis-server
+```
+
+Or using Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis:latest
+```
+
+### Port Conflicts
+
+If tests fail to start, check that the required ports are not in use:
+
+- **Coordinator**: 9652 (HTTP), 9653 (WebSocket)
+- **Supervisor**: 3031
+- **Runners**: Various ports depending on configuration
+
+You can check port usage with:
+
+```bash
+lsof -i :9652
+lsof -i :3031
+```
+
+### Test Isolation
+
+Each test file:
+1. Builds the binary using `escargot`
+2. Starts the process with test-specific configuration
+3. Runs tests against the running instance
+4. Cleans up the process at the end
+
+Tests within a file may share state through Redis, so they are designed to be idempotent and handle existing data.
+
+### Debugging
+
+To see detailed logs during test execution:
+
+```bash
+RUST_LOG=debug cargo test --test coordinator -- --test-threads=1 --nocapture
+```
+
+To run a specific test:
+
+```bash
+cargo test --test coordinator test_01_actor_create -- --test-threads=1 --nocapture
+```
+
+## Test Architecture
+
+Each test file follows this pattern:
+
+1. **Global Process Management**: Uses `lazy_static` and `Once` to ensure the server process starts only once
+2. **Setup Helper**: Common setup code (e.g., `setup_prerequisites()`) to reduce duplication
+3. **Sequential Tests**: Tests are numbered (e.g., `test_01_`, `test_02_`) to indicate execution order
+4. **Cleanup Test**: A final `test_zz_cleanup()` ensures the process is terminated and ports are freed
+
+## Contributing
+
+When adding new tests:
+
+1. Follow the existing naming convention (`test_NN_description`)
+2. Use the setup helpers to avoid duplication
+3. Make tests idempotent (handle existing data gracefully)
+4. Add cleanup in the `test_zz_cleanup()` function
+5. Update this README with any new prerequisites or test descriptions
