+# Repo checks. Gitea Actions reads .gitea/workflows first, falling back to
+# .github/workflows — this lives in the former because the only remote is Gitea.

+# Deliberately not filtered by `paths`. The job is seconds of work once the image
+# is pulled, and a filter narrow enough to be worth having is also narrow enough
+# to miss the case it was added for.
