Summary

This PR prepares the #688 Forgejo runner hardening apply by removing the direct Docker socket mount from the runner container and routing Docker API calls through a constrained docker-socket-proxy sidecar.

It also updates the runner hardening audit so the critical raw_docker_socket_mounted finding clears only when the runner uses DOCKER_HOST=tcp://docker-socket-proxy:2375 and the proxy explicitly disables dangerous Docker API categories.

Refs #688.

#688 live status

Already applied and verified on RS2000 before this PR:

  • home-platform-postgres-1: postgres:16.14-alpine@sha256:16bc17..., healthy.
  • home-platform-kan-postgres-1: postgres:16.14-alpine@sha256:16bc17..., healthy.
  • Memory Control Plane tables: task_run, task_run_event, task_checkpoint, and procedure registry tables exist in live main Postgres DB with append-only triggers.

This PR is the repo-side safety-net for the remaining runner item. Do not close #688 on merge alone; close it only after the live runner cutover and CI smoke pass.

Canary Context Pack

Product story

The normal Forgejo Docker runner should keep PR CI working while reducing the direct host-compromise surface from the raw Docker socket mount.

What changed

  • Added docker-socket-proxy to infra/forgejo-runner/docker-compose.yml with a pinned digest.
  • Removed /var/run/docker.sock from the runner service.
  • Set runner DOCKER_HOST=tcp://docker-socket-proxy:2375.
  • Updated the runner hardening audit, tests, runbook, CI policy, and runner contract docs.

Why it changed

#688 is the operator-approved runtime batch for pending applies. The runner part needed a repo-reviewed safety-net before touching /opt/forgejo-runner live state.

Files touched

  • .forgejo/ci-policy.yaml
  • infra/forgejo-runner/docker-compose.yml
  • control-plane/platformctl/ci/runner_hardening_audit.py
  • control-plane/platformctl/tests/test_forgejo_runner_infra.py
  • control-plane/platformctl/tests/test_runner_hardening_audit.py
  • docs/ci/runner-contract.md
  • runbooks/forgejo-actions-runner.md

Relevant context

  • Issue #688: pending runtime applies batch.
  • Issue #675: runner hardening audit and risk surface.
  • runbooks/forgejo-actions-runner.md: live runner operation and rollback path.
  • docs/ci/runner-contract.md: runner boundary and deploy separation.

Runtime evidence

No live runner mutation in this PR. Live evidence before this PR showed forgejo-runner mounted /var/run/docker.sock directly. After merge, apply should copy the versioned compose file to /opt/forgejo-runner/docker-compose.yml, run docker compose up -d, and smoke a normal PR check.

Known constraints

A Docker socket proxy is not full isolation. It reduces direct socket exposure but the remaining docker:host label, persistent /data, and runner-local Infisical token still need follow-up hardening.

Explicit out-of-scope

  • No deploy-host changes.
  • No runner re-registration.
  • No Forgejo token rotation.
  • No removal of the docker:host label yet.
  • No live runtime apply in this PR.

Requested decision

Approve this as the repo-side safety-net for #688 runner cutover.

Merge blockers

  • Runner no longer uses the proxy.
  • Critical raw socket audit finding remains.
  • Targeted runner/CI tests fail.
  • platformctl validate all --json fails.

Spec sources read

  • https://git.pdurlej.com/pdurlej/platform/issues/688 — operator-approved runtime batch and acceptance criteria.
  • infra/forgejo-runner/docker-compose.yml — versioned runner compose.

global-deepseek / deepseek-v4-pro:cloud

  • Status: ok

  • Verdict: OK

  • low docker:host label remains misleading after proxy cutover

    • Evidence: infra/forgejo-runner/docker-compose.yml still includes docker:hostin bothGITEA_RUNNER_LABELSand thelabels section, even though the runner no longer mounts the Docker socket directly.
    • Next: Rename or remove the docker:host label to avoid confusion; document that Docker access is now proxied and not direct host socket access.
  • medium Proxy still allows powerful Docker APIs (BUILD, CONTAINERS)

    • Evidence: infra/forgejo-runner/docker-compose.yml sets BUILD=1andCONTAINERS=1 on the docker-socket-proxy, enabling arbitrary image builds and container exec, which could be exploited by a malicious workflow.
    • Next: Consider further restricting the proxy to only the minimum required APIs for CI (e.g., disable BUILD if not needed, or isolate build jobs to a separate runner lane) as part of follow-up hardening.
