The 26.2-alpha release workflow hung for 15+ minutes on
"apt-get install -y jq" — the runner's apt mirror was unreachable
(or very slow), and the whole publish stalled.
jq was only used for two tiny things: building the release-create
POST body and reading the release id from the response. Both are
one-liners in Python, which is guaranteed-present on the Forgejo
Actions ubuntu-latest runner image. Replaced both uses; removed
the apt-get step from release.yml entirely. Slow mirrors no
longer block tagged releases.

Root cause of today's 403 on a fresh install: assets/ lived inside the
Python package at furtka/assets/, so the resource-manager tarball
extracted to /opt/furtka/versions/<ver>/furtka/assets/. But Caddyfile
has `root * /opt/furtka/current/assets/www`, systemd units point at
/opt/furtka/current/assets/bin/furtka-status, and the install-time
`systemctl link /opt/furtka/current/assets/systemd/*.service` expected
the top-level layout. All three found nothing:
- Caddy → 403 Forbidden (empty/missing document root)
- systemctl link → silent no-op, nothing ever linked into
/etc/systemd/system/
- furtka-api.service + furtka-reconcile.service → "inactive" because
they were never registered
Nothing in the Python package ever imported furtka.assets — these are
shell scripts, HTML/CSS, systemd units, and a Caddyfile, which is
config data, not package data. Promoting assets/ to the repo root
matches how it's referenced everywhere downstream and eliminates the
path mismatch.
Changes:
- git mv furtka/assets assets
- iso/build.sh: tarball-staging step now also `cp -a "$REPO_ROOT/assets"`
so the tarball ships ./assets at its root, and the live-ISO copy
reads from $REPO_ROOT/assets instead of $REPO_ROOT/furtka/assets.
- scripts/build-release-tarball.sh: same for release tarballs.
- webinstaller/app.py: _resolve_assets_dir's dev fallback walks one
level up to REPO_ROOT/assets/.
- tests/test_webinstaller_assets.py: ASSETS constant updated.
Tests still green (150/150) because both paths were fs-level — no
code imports changed. Next ISO build will land assets at the path
everything downstream expects.

Slice 2 of the self-update story. Tagging a release on main now
produces a downloadable self-update payload on the Forgejo releases
page, and a running box can pull it down, verify it, atomically swap
to the new version, and health-check the result.
New pieces:
- scripts/build-release-tarball.sh <version> — packages the furtka/
package + bundled apps/ + a root-level VERSION file as
dist/furtka-<version>.tar.gz, plus a .sha256 sidecar and a
release.json metadata blob.
- scripts/publish-release.sh <version> — uses the Forgejo v1 API to
create a release (body pulled from the CHANGELOG section for this
tag, pre-release auto-flagged on -alpha/-beta/-rc) and upload the
three assets sequentially. Needs \$FORGEJO_TOKEN.
- .forgejo/workflows/release.yml — tag-triggered, runs both scripts
with the new \$FORGEJO_RELEASE_TOKEN repo secret.
- furtka/updater.py — check_update, prepare_update, apply_update,
run_update, rollback. Atomic symlink swap, sha256 verify (TOCTOU-
safe: re-hashes on-disk file), health-check post-restart with
auto-rollback on failure, stage-by-stage progress persisted to
/var/lib/furtka/update-state.json so the UI can poll independent
of the (restarting) API process. Path overrides via FURTKA_ROOT /
FURTKA_STATE_DIR / FURTKA_LOCK_PATH so tests pin a tmpdir.
- furtka/cli.py — \`furtka update [--check] [--json]\` and
\`furtka rollback\`.
- tests/test_updater.py — 15 tests: version compare, sha256 verify,
tarball extract (including traversal refusal), lockfile, apply
happy + rollback paths, rollback CLI, check_update with stubbed
Forgejo.
- iso/build.sh — writes VERSION at the tarball root so the install
path matches the self-update path (previously assumed only the
release script did this).
RELEASING.md now points at the automated flow — no more manually
clicking "Create release" on the Forgejo UI.
