dev-util/gitea-runner: bump to 4.0.0

- ci.yaml: filter the push trigger to branches. An unfiltered `push` also
  fired for every tag ref, including the vendor-release tags the bump script
  creates via the API.
- bump-version.sh: remove the pkgcheck/emerge/--version validation before
  push. The branch push triggers CI, which runs the same checks and, unlike
  the script's local copy, fetches the real release asset. The PR body now
  asks for green CI instead of claiming the build passed in the bump job.
- vendor-tags.yaml: new workflow on pushes to master touching dev-util/**.
  The vendor release is created before the bump commit exists (and PRs are
  squash-merged), so its tag pointed at an arbitrary master commit. This
  force-updates each vendor tag whose ebuild is in the tree to the master
  commit that added that ebuild. Tags are only ever updated, never deleted,
  since deleting a release's tag deletes the release and its assets.
- CLAUDE.md: document both changes.

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## What this is
+
+A personal **Gentoo ebuild repository (overlay)**, repo name `azy5030`, EAPI 8,
+`masters = gentoo`, thin + unsigned Manifests (`metadata/layout.conf`). It packages
+software not in the main `::gentoo` tree. Currently one package:
+`dev-util/gitea-runner`. Hosted on a self-hosted Gitea at `git.azy.dev`. (This repo
+is a standard SHA-1 repo; the sibling `homeserver` repo is SHA-256, so workflow
+snippets copied from it may carry a `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH: sha256` checkout override
+that this repo must *not* use.)
+
+## The vendored-build model (the core design)
+
+`dev-util/gitea-runner` is a `go-module` ebuild built **offline** from upstream
+`gitea/runner` source. Gentoo's build sandbox has no network, so Go modules cannot be
+fetched at build time. Instead they are vendored ahead of time:
+
+1. The upstream source archive is `SRC_URI`'d from gitea.com's `/api/v1/.../archive`
+   endpoint (a plain `git clone`/`go get` is never used).
+2. A **vendor tarball** (`${P}-vendor.tar.xz`, the result of `go mod vendor`, packed
+   deterministically) is uploaded as a **release asset on this repo** and is the second
+   `SRC_URI`. `S="${WORKDIR}/runner"`.
+3. `dev-util/gitea-runner/Manifest` pins BLAKE2B/SHA512 of both tarballs. `emerge`
+   verifies against the Manifest, then compiles offline from `vendor/`.
+
+Consequences when editing the ebuild:
+
+- `LICENSE` must cover **every vendored module's** license, not just upstream's MIT.
+  The bump PR checklist suggests `go-licenses report ./...` to confirm.
+- `BDEPEND` Go version tracks upstream's `go.mod` `go` directive.
+- The version string is injected via ldflags into
+  `gitea.com/gitea/runner/internal/pkg/ver.version`; CI asserts `gitea-runner --version`
+  echoes `v${PV}`. If upstream moves that symbol path, the build "succeeds" but reports
+  the wrong version.
+
+## Bumping to a new upstream version
+
+This is **automated** by `scripts/bump-version.sh` (run daily by `bump.yaml`, or
+`workflow_dispatch`). To do it manually you must reproduce its steps, because a version
+bump is never just renaming the ebuild — the vendor tarball must be regenerated and
+re-uploaded as a release asset, or the build will fail Manifest verification. The script:
+
+1. Reads the latest `vX.Y.Z` from upstream `releases.rss`; compares to the newest
+   committed ebuild. Exits early if up to date or if a `bump/gitea-runner-<ver>` branch
+   already exists.
+2. Downloads the source archive, runs `go mod vendor`, packs a reproducible
+   `*-vendor.tar.xz` (`--sort=name --mtime='UTC 1970-01-01' --owner=0 --group=0`).
+3. Creates/reuses a release tagged `${PN}-${ver}-vendor` and uploads the tarball asset.
+4. `git mv`s the ebuild to the new version, rewrites `BDEPEND`'s Go version from
+   upstream `go.mod`, and regenerates the Manifest with `pkgdev manifest` (after copying
+   both distfiles into `/var/cache/distfiles` and wiring a temporary `repos.conf`).
+5. Commits, pushes the branch, opens a PR against `master`. The script does **not**
+   emerge or pkgcheck the result itself: the branch push triggers CI, which does both
+   (and fetches the real release asset, which the script's local copy never would).
+
+Requires a `BUMP_TOKEN` repo secret (scopes: repository read/write, write release) plus
+a Gentoo env with `go pkgdev git curl xz jq`.
+
+## CI (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`)
+
+Runs on every push, two jobs. A **`lint`** job runs on the plain Docker-backend runner
+(no container), checks out with `actions/checkout`, installs the linters, and runs
+`just lint` (markdownlint/shellcheck/yamllint/actionlint). The **`build`** job has
+`needs: lint` (lint is a gate) and runs inside a `gentoo/stage3:amd64-openrc` container:
+`emerge-webrsync` to sync `::gentoo` → configure portage (disables binpkg signature
+verification so prebuilt deps like `dev-lang/go` are pulled, not compiled) → **check out
+via `curl + tar`, not `actions/checkout`** into `/var/db/repos/azy5030` → `pkgcheck scan`
+→ `emerge` → assert `gitea-runner --version` matches the ebuild version.
+
+The build job can't use `actions/checkout` (even though the lint job does): the Gitea
+runner executes JS actions by `docker exec node …` *inside* the job container, and
+`gentoo/stage3` ships no node, so any JS action fails with exit 127. The lint job has no
+`container:`, so it runs in the runner's default node-capable image and checkout works.
+
+## Vendor-tag repointing (`.gitea/workflows/vendor-tags.yaml`)
+
+The bump script creates the `${PN}-${ver}-vendor` release before the bump commit
+exists, so its tag points at whatever `master` was at the time (and squash/rebase
+merges mean the branch commit never lands on `master` anyway). On every push to
+`master` touching `dev-util/**`, this workflow force-updates each vendor tag whose
+ebuild is still in the tree to the `master` commit that added that ebuild. It only
+ever *updates* tags: deleting a release's tag makes Gitea delete the release and its
+assets, breaking the ebuild's `SRC_URI`. Tag pushes don't re-trigger CI because
+`ci.yaml` is filtered to branch pushes.
+
+## Conventions / gotchas
+
+- **YAML** is linted by `.yamllint.yaml` (relaxed: line-length and document-start
+  disabled; `truthy.check-keys: false` so `on:` is allowed unquoted).
+- `metadata/md5-cache/` is **gitignored** — portage regenerates it on sync, so never
+  commit it (a stale `gitea-runner-1.0.4` file may linger on disk untracked).
+- The bump script and CI deliberately preserve the scheme of `GITHUB_SERVER_URL`: on the
+  self-hosted runner it is an internal `http://` endpoint. Don't hardcode `https`.
+- New packages must be added to `profiles/categories` (currently just `dev-util`).
