fix(docker): skip postinstall in production image

The production stage runs npm ci --omit=dev to install runtime deps for
the pre-built SvelteKit app. The postinstall script calls patch-package,
which is a devDependency, so it is absent and causes exit code 127.

--ignore-scripts is the correct npm-native fix: no lifecycle scripts are
needed when installing into a pre-built image.

+# Builds and deploys the production environment on `v*` tag push.
+# Runs on the self-hosted runner via Docker-out-of-Docker; images are

+#   `TAG=<previous> docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml -p archiv-production up -d --wait`
+#
+# Operational assumptions (see docs/DEPLOYMENT.md §3 for the full setup):
+#
+#   1. Single-tenant self-hosted runner. The "Write production env file"
+#      step writes every secret to .env.production on the runner
+#      filesystem; the `if: always()` cleanup step removes it. A
+#      multi-tenant runner would need to switch to
+#      `docker compose --env-file <(stdin)` instead.
+#
+#   2. Host docker layer cache is authoritative. There is no
+#      actions/cache; we rely on the host daemon to keep Maven and npm
+#      layers warm between runs. A `docker system prune` on the host
+#      will cause the next release build to be cold (5–10 min slower).

 **Key facts:**
-- Caddy terminates TLS and reverse-proxies to frontend and backend. See the Caddyfile in [`docs/infrastructure/production-compose.md`](infrastructure/production-compose.md).
+- Caddy terminates TLS and reverse-proxies to frontend (`:3000`) and backend (`:8080`). The Caddyfile is committed at [`infra/caddy/Caddyfile`](../infra/caddy/Caddyfile) and is installed on the host as `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` (symlink).
-- The OCR service has **no external port** — reachable only on the internal Docker network from the backend.
+- The host binds all docker-published ports to `127.0.0.1` only; Caddy is the sole external entry point.
-- SSE notifications go directly backend → browser (not via the SvelteKit SSR layer).
+- The OCR service has **no published port** — reachable only on the internal Docker network from the backend.
-- Management port 8081 (Spring Actuator / Prometheus scrape) is internal only — the Caddy config blocks `/actuator/*` externally.
+- SSE notifications transit Caddy (browser → Caddy → backend); the backend is never reachable directly from the public internet. The SvelteKit SSR layer is bypassed for SSE, but Caddy is not.
+- The Caddyfile responds `404` on `/actuator/*` (defense in depth). Internal monitoring scrapes the backend on the docker network, not through Caddy.
+- Production and staging cohabit on the same host via docker compose project names: `archiv-production` (ports 8080/3000) and `archiv-staging` (ports 8081/3001).

 ## 3. Bootstrap from scratch
 
-> Full VPS provisioning steps are in [`docs/infrastructure/production-compose.md`](infrastructure/production-compose.md). This section covers the sequence and the security-critical steps.
+Production and staging deploy via Gitea Actions (`release.yml` on `v*` tag, `nightly.yml` on cron). The server itself only needs to host Caddy, Docker, and the runner — the workflows handle the rest.
 
-### Security checklist — complete before first boot
+### 3.1 Server one-time setup
-
-> ⚠️ **These defaults ship in `.env.example` and `application.yaml`. Change them or you will have an insecure installation.**
-
-- [ ] Set `APP_ADMIN_PASSWORD` (default: `admin123` — change before starting the backend)
-- [ ] Set `APP_ADMIN_USERNAME` if you want a non-default admin login name (add to `.env` — not in `.env.example`)
-- [ ] Rotate `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` from `change-me`
-- [ ] Rotate `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD` from `change-me`
-- [ ] Set a strong `APP_OCR_TRAINING_TOKEN` (backend) and the matching `TRAINING_TOKEN` (OCR service) — both must be the same value (`python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"`)
-- [ ] Confirm `ALLOWED_PDF_HOSTS` is locked to your MinIO/S3 hostname — widening to `*` opens SSRF
-- [ ] Set `SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=prod` in the prod overlay (not `dev,e2e` — that exposes Swagger UI and `/v3/api-docs`)
-- [ ] Use a dedicated MinIO service account for `S3_ACCESS_KEY` / `S3_SECRET_KEY`, not the root credentials

+**Flyway migrations are not auto-rolled-back.** If a release contained a destructive migration (drop column, rename table), a tag rollback brings the schema back to a previous app version but the data shape has already changed. For breaking schema changes, prefer a forward-only fix.

+# ADR-008: SQL-level pagination for full-text search via window-function CTE
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+`DocumentRepository.findAllMatchingIdsByFts` (formerly `findRankedIdsByFts`) returns all matching document IDs for a FTS query. `DocumentService.searchDocuments` then paginates in memory on the RELEVANCE sort path.
+
+A pre-production audit against 1,520 documents measured:
+
+```
+rows_per_call: 911 / call  (query: "walter")
+```
+
+At current scale this is acceptable — 911 UUIDs ≈ 14 KB, ms-level DB time. At 100 K+ documents two failure modes emerge:
+
+1. **Memory**: a broad query returns ~60 K UUIDs ≈ 1 MB per request, multiplied by concurrent users.
+2. **Latency**: the `LATERAL` join does work proportional to match-set size; at 60 K matches the FTS step alone exceeds 100 ms per query.
+
+Tracked as finding **F-31 (High)** in the pre-production architectural review.
+
+## Decision
+
+Push pagination and rank ordering into SQL for the RELEVANCE sort path when no non-text filters are active (pure full-text search):
+
+```sql
+WITH q AS (
+  SELECT CASE WHEN websearch_to_tsquery('german', :query)::text <> ''
+              THEN to_tsquery('simple', regexp_replace(
+                       websearch_to_tsquery('german', :query)::text,
+                       '''([^'']+)''', '''\\1'':*', 'g'))
+         END AS pq
+), matches AS (
+  SELECT d.id, ts_rank(d.search_vector, q.pq) AS rank
+  FROM documents d, q
+  WHERE d.search_vector @@ q.pq
+)
+SELECT id, rank, COUNT(*) OVER () AS total
+FROM matches
+ORDER BY rank DESC, id
+OFFSET :offset LIMIT :limit
+```
+
+`COUNT(*) OVER ()` returns the full match count alongside each page row in a single round-trip — no separate count query needed.
+
+`rows_per_call` for the FTS query drops from match-set size (911) to page size (≤ 50).
+
+When non-text filters (date range, sender, receiver, tags, status) are also active, the existing path is preserved: `findAllMatchingIdsByFts` returns all ranked IDs, which are passed as an `IN` clause to the JPA Specification, and `totalElements` comes from the JPA `Page.getTotalElements()`. This keeps the count accurate across the combined filter set.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+**1. Two-query approach (separate COUNT + paged SELECT)**
+Correct, but doubles round-trips. The window function achieves the same result in one query.
+
+**2. Capped result set with a user-visible warning**
+Return at most N results (e.g. 500) and show "showing top 500 of many results". Simpler, but degrades UX for broad queries and doesn't reduce latency proportionally (still scans N rows).
+
+**3. Full SQL rewrite combining FTS + JPA Specification filters**
+Possible via a native query that embeds all filter predicates. Eliminates the in-memory SENDER/RECEIVER sort paths and the two-phase approach. High complexity, tight coupling to schema details, loses type-safe JPA Specification composition. Deferred to a future refactor if scale demands it.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **`rows_per_call` for pure-text FTS searches drops to ≤ page size** — the primary metric.
+- **SENDER and RECEIVER sort paths stay in-memory** for combined text+filter queries. For pure-text queries with SENDER/RECEIVER sort, the current approach (fetch all matched IDs, build spec, load all matched entities, sort in-memory) still runs. This is acceptable while the archive stays under ~10 K documents.
+- **RELEVANCE sort with text+filters still loads the full filtered entity set in-memory.** The filtered set is typically much smaller than the raw FTS match set, so the cost is bounded by filter selectivity, not total match count.
+- **`findAllMatchingIdsByFts` is retained** for: (a) the bulk-edit "select all" fast path (`findIdsForFilter`), (b) the document density chart (`getDensity`), and (c) the SENDER/RECEIVER in-memory sort paths.

+# ADR-009: Standalone `docker-compose.prod.yml`, not an overlay
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The repository's `docker-compose.yml` is a development stack: every service is built locally, ports are exposed on `0.0.0.0` for dev tooling, the frontend runs `npm run dev` with hot-reload, the backend is `spring-boot:run` with the dev profile, and there is no Caddy, no `archiv-app` service account, no admin-credential lock-in, no healthcheck-gated startup sequence. The dev stack reflects "single developer on a laptop", not "production on a single VPS".
+
+The pre-merge design (issue #497, comment #8331) sketched two ways to add a production stack:
+
+1. **Overlay** — keep `docker-compose.yml` as the base, add `docker-compose.prod.yml` as a `-f` overlay (`docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up`). Compose merges the two files at runtime.
+2. **Standalone** — make `docker-compose.prod.yml` a fully self-contained file that does not reference or merge with `docker-compose.yml` at all. Project-name namespacing (`-p archiv-production`, `-p archiv-staging`) keeps multi-environment deploys clean on a single host.
+
+The earlier `docs/infrastructure/production-compose.md` notes assumed overlay because the original plan was to **remove** MinIO in production (replace with Hetzner Object Storage), so the prod file would only need to remove one service and add a few. With MinIO retained (see ADR-010), the prod stack diverges from dev in essentially every service: build vs pre-built image, target stage, port binding, env vars, healthcheck, restart policy, mem_limit, profile gating, service account, depends_on chain. Overlay would mostly be `override:` blocks that nullify the dev defaults — a fragile inversion.
+
+## Decision
+
+`docker-compose.prod.yml` is standalone. Production and staging both run it directly:
+
+```
+production: docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml -p archiv-production --env-file .env.production ...
+staging:    docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml -p archiv-staging    --env-file .env.staging --profile staging ...
+```
+
+Environment isolation is achieved via the Docker Compose project name (`-p`). Volumes, networks, and containers are namespaced by the project name, so production and staging cohabit cleanly on the same host without interfering.
+
+The dev `docker-compose.yml` is unchanged — `docker compose up` still works for developers, and its `frontend` service now specifies `target: development` explicitly so the new multi-stage Dockerfile builds the right stage.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+| Alternative | Why rejected |
+|---|---|
+| Overlay (`-f base.yml -f prod.yml`) | With MinIO retained and most services differing across nearly every field, the overlay would consist mostly of `override:` blocks that null out dev defaults. Compose's merge semantics for nested keys (env, ports, healthcheck) are sharp — silent merges of port mappings, env-var entries, and depends_on edges cost reviewer hours. Standalone is one file the reader can hold in their head. |
+| Two fully separate files (dev + prod) but with shared YAML anchors via `extends:` | `extends:` works across files but is a niche feature and is increasingly discouraged in compose v2. Reviewer load is higher than reading two flat files. |
+| Generate prod compose from a template at deploy time (e.g. ytt, kustomize) | Adds a build-time step and a new tool to the operator toolchain. Justified for a fleet of 10+ environments; overkill for production + staging on one host. |
+| Single compose file with environment-specific profiles | Compose profiles select which *services* run, not which *configuration* a service runs with. Using profiles to swap "build locally" vs "pull image" would smear dev and prod across one file. |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The prod file can be read top-to-bottom without cross-referencing `docker-compose.yml`. Onboarding and review cost drops.
+- Volume namespacing is automatic (`archiv-production_postgres-data`, `archiv-staging_postgres-data`) — no manual `volumes:` aliasing.
+- Dev compose churn (e.g. swapping a dev port) cannot accidentally affect production. The two files are independent.
+- The cost is duplication: identical environment variables (e.g. `POSTGRES_DB: archiv`) appear in both files. This duplication is bounded — there is no incentive to add more services that exist in both — and the alternative (overlay) carries its own duplication via `override:` boilerplate.
+- The retired `docs/infrastructure/production-compose.md` narrative is trimmed to a pointer at the live files. The cost/sizing rationale is preserved there.
+
+## Future Direction
+
+If the deployment fleet ever grows beyond two environments on one host (e.g. add a `demo` environment, or shard staging across two VPS for load testing), revisit the templating decision. At three+ environments the duplication starts to bite and a template engine (kustomize or ytt) becomes attractive.

+# ADR-010: MinIO stays self-hosted on the production VPS
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+`docs/infrastructure/production-compose.md` (pre-this-PR) sketched a production topology in which the application bucket migrates from in-cluster MinIO to Hetzner Object Storage (OBS, S3-compatible). The motivation was operational: one less service to back up, no MinIO RAM/disk pressure on the VPS, hand off durability to the hyperscaler.
+
+Two facts revisited at pre-merge review (issue #497, comment #8331) changed the answer:
+
+1. **Current data size is small.** The archive is ~13 GB of file uploads (Kurrent letters, scanned ODS files, attachment PDFs). Hetzner OBS billing on this size is dominated by the per-month base fee (~5 EUR/mo for the smallest unit), not capacity or egress. The break-even point against the VPS's existing disk is far above the current footprint.
+2. **MinIO is already production-grade.** The dev stack uses MinIO; the backend already drives it via the AWS SDK v2 with a generic `S3_ENDPOINT`. Switching providers is a runtime env-var change (`S3_ENDPOINT`, `S3_ACCESS_KEY`, `S3_SECRET_KEY`) plus an `mc mirror` to copy objects. There is no application-level rewrite cost waiting.
+
+If Hetzner OBS were a one-way-door (provider-specific SDK, complex IAM integration, multi-month migration), the decision would deserve a serious weighing. As reversible as the migration is, deferring it costs nothing.
+
+## Decision
+
+MinIO stays on the production VPS for the first launch. The application bucket is created and managed inside the docker-compose stack (`infra/minio/bootstrap.sh`). The backend uses a least-privilege service account (`archiv-app`) with a bucket-scoped IAM policy, not the MinIO root credentials.
+
+Hetzner Object Storage is **explicitly deferred**, not rejected. The migration path is documented as a runbook in `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` (when the trigger fires): provision an OBS bucket, run `mc mirror local-minio:/familienarchiv obs:/familienarchiv`, rotate the three env vars, restart the backend, decommission the MinIO service from `docker-compose.prod.yml`.
+
+## Triggers to re-evaluate
+
+Revisit the decision when **any** of the following holds:
+
+- The `minio-data` volume exceeds 50 GB and is growing > 5 GB/month.
+- MinIO healthcheck latency exceeds 200 ms p95 (signal of disk pressure on the host).
+- The VPS upgrade required to keep MinIO healthy costs more per month than the equivalent OBS bucket + traffic.
+- Backup of the MinIO volume to `heim-nas` over Tailscale (deferred follow-up) is implemented and consistently runs > 30 min nightly. At that point durability-as-a-service starts paying for itself.
+
+The migration runbook in `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` is the script for executing the swap when one of the triggers fires.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+| Alternative | Why rejected (for now) |
+|---|---|
+| Migrate to Hetzner Object Storage in this PR | Premature. Adds an external dependency, locks the operator into the Hetzner ecosystem before the data has demonstrated it needs hyperscaler durability, blocks the PR on a migration that buys ~5 GB of headroom. |
+| Migrate to S3 (AWS) for HA across regions | Way over-spec for a family archive. Egress cost would dwarf any benefit; durability concerns at this size are addressed by nightly off-site backup, not by multi-region replication. |
+| Drop S3 abstraction entirely; store files directly on the VPS disk | Possible, but loses the bucket-policy IAM surface (least-privilege service account), loses presigned-URL flow (OCR service downloads files via short-lived URLs, not via shared filesystem), loses the migration path to OBS. The S3 indirection is cheap insurance. |
+| Self-hosted on-VPS plus periodic `mc mirror` to Hetzner OBS for off-site backup | This is the **target** for the backup pipeline follow-up. Treated as backup, not primary — primary stays MinIO. |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The production VPS sizing (Hetzner CX42, 16 GB RAM, 80 GB disk) must accommodate MinIO's working set. Current footprint leaves ample headroom.
+- Backup of MinIO data is the operator's responsibility until the off-site `mc mirror` pipeline is implemented (deferred follow-up). The DEPLOYMENT.md rollback procedure explicitly flags this — manual backup is the only recovery option until the pipeline ships.
+- The backend never sees the MinIO root password; it uses the `archiv-app` service account with a bucket-scoped IAM policy (see `infra/minio/bootstrap.sh`). A backend RCE/SSRF cannot escalate beyond the `familienarchiv` bucket.
+- The migration to Hetzner OBS remains a small, well-understood runbook step rather than a major refactor. No application code, no SDK swap.
+
+## Future Direction
+
+When one of the triggers above fires, the migration is: provision OBS bucket → `mc mirror` → rotate three env vars → restart backend → remove MinIO service from compose. The bucket-scoped policy translates 1:1 to an OBS user policy (S3-compatible).

+# ADR-011: Single-tenant Gitea runner with secrets-on-disk env-files
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The deploy workflows (`.gitea/workflows/nightly.yml`, `release.yml`) execute on a self-hosted Gitea Actions runner. The runner has Docker-out-of-Docker access (the host's Docker socket is mounted into the runner), so `docker compose build` produces images on the host daemon and `docker compose up` consumes them directly — no registry hop.
+
+Two workflow steps shape the security model:
+
+1. **"Write env file"** — the workflow writes every required secret to `.env.staging` or `.env.production` on the runner's filesystem so that `docker compose --env-file` can consume them. The file lives on disk for the duration of the workflow.
+2. **"Cleanup env file"** — the matching `if: always()` step deletes the env file after the workflow ends, regardless of success.
+
+This shape only works under one operational assumption: **the runner is single-tenant**. The runner is owned by the same operator who owns the secrets, no other repositories run jobs on the same runner, and no untrusted code is executed (no public fork PRs trigger workflows). If any of those held, the env-file-on-disk approach would be a credential exposure path — a sibling job could read `.env.production`, or a malicious PR could exfiltrate the secrets via a step.
+
+The alternative — `docker compose --env-file <(printf "..." )` (bash process substitution) — is technically supported and would keep secrets out of the on-disk filesystem. It is more secure under a multi-tenant runner but requires bash 4+ and is brittle inside YAML (the `printf` step would need to escape every secret value containing newlines, equals signs, or quotes).
+
+## Decision
+
+The runner is treated as single-tenant for the lifetime of the v1 deployment. The workflows write env-files to disk under that assumption and rely on the `if: always()` cleanup step to remove them. The operational assumption is documented in-comment at the top of both workflow files (`nightly.yml`, `release.yml`) so the next operator who considers adding a second repo or accepting public PRs has the trigger surfaced in front of them.
+
+Concretely:
+
+- The Gitea runner only runs jobs for `marcel/familienarchiv`.
+- No public fork PRs trigger the workflows (Gitea defaults to requiring an explicit approval on first-time contributor PRs for the actions to run).
+- Secrets are stored in Gitea repository secrets and injected via `${{ secrets.* }}`. They land in the env-file at workflow start and are removed at workflow end.
+
+## Migration trigger
+
+Switch to the multi-tenant-safe pattern when **any** of the following becomes true:
+
+- A second repository starts using the same runner.
+- A workflow accepts contributions that can run untrusted code (public PRs without manual approval).
+- The runner is moved off the operator's controlled host onto shared infrastructure.
+
+The migration path is one-step per workflow: replace the "Write env file" step with `--env-file <(printf '%s' "${{ secrets.STAGING_ENV_BLOB }}")` and store the full env-file as a single Gitea secret. The cleanup step is then unnecessary because the env-file never touches disk.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+| Alternative | Why rejected (for now) |
+|---|---|
+| `--env-file <(printf "...")` via bash process substitution | More secure under multi-tenant. Brittle for multi-line / quoted secret values; harder to debug ("env file not found" with no diff to inspect). Justified once the trigger above fires. |
+| Docker secrets (`docker secret create` + `compose secrets:`) | Designed for Swarm; outside of Swarm, compose secrets read from files anyway, so the on-disk surface is the same. Adds complexity without changing the threat model. |
+| External secret manager (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) | Adds a third-party dependency to the deploy path. For a family-archive deployment with one operator and one VPS, the cost outweighs the benefit at this scale. |
+| GitHub-hosted ephemeral runners | Would require uploading the prod-deploy artifacts to a registry first, then a deploy step on the VPS connecting back. Inverts the current Docker-out-of-Docker simplicity for marginal security gain. The single-tenant self-hosted runner *is* ephemeral in practice — the secrets are written to a directory the runner controls, then deleted. |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The runner host's filesystem is in the secret-trust boundary. The host is hardened per `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` (ufw, fail2ban, Tailscale-only SSH).
+- An operator who later adds a second repo to the runner without revisiting the workflows would silently break the trust assumption. The in-file comments at the top of `nightly.yml` and `release.yml` are the breadcrumb that surfaces the assumption at change time.
+- The `if: always()` cleanup step is load-bearing: removing it (e.g. during a future workflow refactor) leaves credentials on disk between runs. Treat it as a permanent invariant.
+- Workflow debuggability stays high: an operator who needs to know what env-file the deploy ran with can SSH onto the host while a workflow is in flight and `cat .env.staging` — useful for first-deploy diagnostics.
+
+## Future Direction
+
+When the trigger fires, migrate both workflows in a single PR: replace the "Write env file" step with a single `--env-file <(printf '%s' …)` invocation, drop the cleanup step, and consolidate the per-secret Gitea entries into a single multi-line `STAGING_ENV_BLOB` / `PROD_ENV_BLOB` secret. Single commit, both workflows, no application change.

+# ADR 012 — Browser-Mode Test Mocking Strategy
+
+**Status:** Accepted

+**Issues:** [#535 — original incident](https://git.raddatz.cloud/marcel/familienarchiv/issues/535) · [#553 — revision](https://git.raddatz.cloud/marcel/familienarchiv/issues/553)
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+Vitest browser-mode tests (the `client` project, run with `@vitest/browser-playwright` / Chromium) use a different module resolution path than Node-environment tests. When a spec calls `vi.mock('some-module', factory)`, vitest registers a `ManualMockedModule`. At runtime, every time Chromium requests that module, a playwright route handler intercepts the request and calls the Node worker over **birpc** (`resolveManualMock`) to evaluate the factory and return the module body.
+
+This is safe for modules that are imported **statically** at spec module-eval time (e.g. `$app/navigation`, `$env/static/public`): those requests resolve before the first test runs and well before any teardown occurs.
+
+It is **unsafe** for modules that are imported **dynamically** (e.g. inside an `async onMount`, inside a lazy-loaded chunk): Chromium may fetch the module after the worker's birpc channel has already closed, producing:
+

+This raises an unhandled rejection that exits the vitest process with code 1, even though every test in the run reported green.
+
+`pdfjs-dist` and `pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs?url` are loaded via `await Promise.all([import('pdfjs-dist'), import('pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs?url')])` inside `usePdfRenderer.svelte.ts::init()`, which is called from `onMount`. These dynamic imports triggered the race.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+**Prefer prop injection over `vi.mock(module, factory)` for any module that is loaded dynamically in browser-mode specs.**
+
+### The libLoader pattern (for external rendering libraries)
+
+When a component depends on a large external library loaded via dynamic import, extract the import into an injectable loader function with a production default:
+
+```typescript
+// usePdfRenderer.svelte.ts
+type LibLoader = () => Promise<readonly [typeof import('pdfjs-dist'), { default: string }]>;
+
+const defaultLibLoader: LibLoader = () =>
+  Promise.all([import('pdfjs-dist'), import('pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs?url')]);
+
+export function createPdfRenderer(libLoader: LibLoader = defaultLibLoader) { ... }
+```
+
+The component threads the loader as an optional prop:
+
+```svelte
+<!-- PdfViewer.svelte -->
+let { url, ..., libLoader = undefined } = $props();
+const renderer = untrack(() => createPdfRenderer(libLoader));
+```
+
+Tests supply a synchronous fake — no `vi.mock` needed:
+
+```typescript
+const fakePdfjs = { GlobalWorkerOptions: ..., getDocument: vi.fn(), TextLayer: class {} };
+const fakeLoader = vi.fn().mockResolvedValue([fakePdfjs, { default: '' }] as const);
+render(PdfViewer, { url: '...', libLoader: fakeLoader });
+```
+
+### The test-host pattern (for component behaviour)
+
+For components that fetch data or call services, the `*.test-host.svelte` pattern threads the dependency as a prop rather than mocking the module. See `PersonMentionEditor.test-host.svelte` for the canonical example.
+
+---
+
+## Binding invariant: factory bodies must be synchronous (#553)
+
+The original revision of this ADR allowed `vi.mock(virtualModule, factory)` for SvelteKit/Vite virtual modules on the argument that their consumer imports were resolved at static-import time. **That reasoning is wrong.** What matters is what the **factory body** does, not where the mocked module is consumed.
+
+`EnrichmentBlock.svelte.spec.ts` (issue #553) was statically imported and still produced the race: its `vi.mock('$app/stores', async () => { const mod = await import(...); return mod; })` factory performed a dynamic import in its body, and that body was invoked asynchronously when Chromium fetched the manually-mocked module — sometimes after the worker's birpc channel had already closed.
+
+**Therefore: under `**/*.svelte.{test,spec}.ts`, every `vi.mock` factory body must be synchronous. No `await`, no `import(...)`.**
+
+If a factory needs to share state with the spec (a mutable ref, a `vi.fn`, a writable store), use `vi.hoisted()` to lift the reference above `vi.mock`'s implicit hoist:
+
+```ts
+const { mockNavigating } = vi.hoisted(() => ({
+    mockNavigating: { type: null as string | null }
+}));
+
+vi.mock('$app/state', () => ({
+    get navigating() {
+        return mockNavigating;
+    }
+}));
+```
+
+The getter defers the read until consumption time; `vi.hoisted` guarantees the reference is initialised before the (also hoisted) `vi.mock` factory runs. See `DropZone.svelte.spec.ts:9`, `NotificationBell.svelte.spec.ts:6-10`, and `EnrichmentBlock.svelte.spec.ts` for canonical examples.
+
+### Architectural follow-on: prefer `$app/state` over `$app/stores`
+
+`$app/stores` is the deprecated subscription-based store API; `$app/state` is the modern reactive proxy. New components should import from `$app/state`. As part of #553 we migrated `EnrichmentBlock.svelte` from `$app/stores.navigating` to `$app/state.navigating` with `!!navigating.type` — matching the pattern already established in `routes/aktivitaeten/+page.svelte:117` and `routes/documents/+page.svelte:261`. Migration eliminated the *need* to mock a store at all in that spec.
+
+**Pattern note:** When an overlay or dropdown triggers a navigation action, use `<button type="button">` with an `onclick` handler that calls `goto(path)` — do **not** use `<a href="…">` with `e.preventDefault()`. SvelteKit registers its link interceptor as a capture-phase `document` listener, so it fires before the component's bubble-phase `onclick`. By the time `e.preventDefault()` runs the router has already initiated navigation, which tears down the vitest-browser Playwright orchestrator iframe. A `<button>` carries no `href`, so the capture-phase interceptor never fires. See `NotificationDropdown.svelte` for the canonical example.
+
+**Pattern note (#553):** Browser-mode tests run with `data-sveltekit-preload-data="off"` (set in `src/test-setup.ts` via the client project's `setupFiles`). Hover-prefetch otherwise fires real fetch requests for route loader chunks; those requests go through the same Playwright route handler that serves mocked modules. An in-flight prefetch landing after iframe teardown can hit the handler with a closed birpc channel, raising an unhandled rejection.
+
+---
+
+## Binding invariant: one canonical ID per mocked module (#553 — duplicate-id hazard)
+
+The sync-factory invariant above closes one named trigger of the `[birpc] rpc is closed` race. Investigation of a follow-up flake revealed a second, independent trigger: **the same resolved module URL mocked under two distinct ID strings** across or within spec files.
+
+`@vitest/browser-playwright` registers a Playwright `page.context().route(...)` handler per `vi.mock` call. The predicate matches on the module's resolved URL. When two `vi.mock` calls reference the same module under different IDs — for example `'$lib/foo.svelte'` and `'$lib/foo.svelte.js'` (both resolve to the same Svelte rune-module URL) — the registry stores both predicates but the cleanup map only tracks the latest. The orphan route survives session teardown. When the next session loads the same module, the orphan fires, calls `await module.resolve()` against a closed birpc channel, and crashes the run.
+
+This is fixed upstream in [vitest PR #10267](https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/pull/10267) (issue [#9957](https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/issues/9957)). Until that fix reaches a published `@vitest/browser-playwright` release, we close the gap from two sides:
+
+**The rule.** Every mocked module must be referenced under exactly one ID string across the entire client test suite. Pick the spelling production code uses. For Svelte 5 rune modules (`*.svelte.ts`), the canonical form is the no-extension import (`'$lib/foo.svelte'`) — matches the source file basename and matches Svelte 5 convention. Never mix `.svelte.js` and `.svelte` for the same module across specs.
+
+**Enforcement layers** (added in #553's second cycle, extending the four-layer chain above):
+
+5. **In-suite meta-test** at `frontend/src/__meta__/no-duplicate-mock-ids.test.ts` globs `src/**/*.svelte.{test,spec}.ts`, extracts every `vi.mock` first-arg string, canonicalises by stripping a trailing `.js`/`.ts` after `.svelte`, and fails if any canonical ID is referenced under two or more distinct spellings. Same shape as `no-async-mock-factories.test.ts`.
+6. **`patch-package` backport** of PR #10267 at `frontend/patches/@vitest+browser-playwright+4.1.0.patch`. Applied automatically by the `postinstall` hook. Closes the race at the route-handler level — even if a contributor reintroduces a duplicate-ID, the patched `register` handler unroutes the existing predicate before installing the new one.
+
+**When to remove the patch.** Once `@vitest/browser-playwright` ships a release containing PR #10267, delete `patches/@vitest+browser-playwright+4.1.0.patch`. Bump the dependency to the version containing the fix. The in-suite meta-test stays — it's a cheap permanent guard against the contributor-facing pattern, independent of upstream library version.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+- New browser-mode specs that need to stub an external library **must not** use `vi.mock(externalLib, factory)`. Add a loader/factory parameter to the underlying hook or service instead.
+- The CI `unit-tests` job includes a permanent grep guard that fails the build if `rpc is closed` appears in any coverage run log. This catches regressions before they reach the acceptance criterion.
+- Acceptance criterion for #535: 60 consecutive green `workflow_dispatch` CI runs against `main` after the fix is merged, with zero `rpc is closed` lines in any log.
+- **Enforcement (six layers, defence in depth):**
+  1. **ESLint `no-restricted-syntax`** in `eslint.config.js` (scoped to `**/*.{spec,test}.ts`) flags two patterns: (a) the literal `vi.mock('pdfjs-dist', ...)` — enforces the libLoader pattern — and (b) any `vi.mock(..., async () => { ... await import(...) ... })` — enforces the synchronous-factory invariant. Both messages point at this ADR. Failure surfaces at save time.
+  2. **CI grep guard** in `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` runs before the test suite launches. Mirrors the ESLint patterns with `grep -Pzn`. ~10s round-trip.
+  3. **In-suite meta-test** at `frontend/src/__meta__/no-async-mock-factories.test.ts` globs `src/**/*.svelte.{test,spec}.ts` and asserts none match the banned pattern. Catches at every vitest invocation — the layer hardest to disable.
+  4. **CI birpc assert** runs after the coverage step and fails the build if `[birpc] rpc is closed` appears in any log line. Catches the symptom even if all the upstream layers were bypassed.
+  5. **In-suite duplicate-ID meta-test** at `frontend/src/__meta__/no-duplicate-mock-ids.test.ts` enforces the one-canonical-ID-per-module rule from the duplicate-id-hazard section above.
+  6. **`patch-package` backport** at `frontend/patches/@vitest+browser-playwright+4.1.0.patch` closes the upstream race itself, applied via `postinstall`. To be removed when `@vitest/browser-playwright` releases [vitest PR #10267](https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/pull/10267).
+- **Acceptance verification:** `coverage-flake-probe.yml` is a `workflow_dispatch`-triggered matrix workflow that runs the coverage suite 20× in parallel against a single SHA and asserts zero birpc lines. One fire, parallel cost, deterministic signal — replaces accumulating 20 sequential push events.
+- **When to revisit the LibLoader home:** If three or more components adopt this pattern, consider extracting a shared `$lib/types/lib-loader.ts` or a generic `DynamicImportLoader<T>` type to avoid parallel type definitions across modules.

+# ADR-012: nsenter via privileged sibling container for host service management in CI
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The deploy workflows (`.gitea/workflows/nightly.yml`, `release.yml`) run job steps inside Docker containers under a Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD) setup: the Gitea runner container mounts the host Docker socket, and act_runner spawns a sibling container for each job. That job container also gets the Docker socket mounted (via `valid_volumes` in `runner-config.yaml`).
+
+This architecture has one significant limitation: **job containers cannot manage host services**. Specifically:
+
+- Job containers are not in the host's PID, mount, UTS, network, or IPC namespaces.
+- There is no systemd PID 1 inside a job container — `systemctl` has nothing to talk to.
+- `sudo` is not present in standard container images; even if it were, it would not help.
+- Caddy runs as a **host systemd service** (not a Docker container), managing TLS certificates via Let's Encrypt. It must be running on the host to serve port 443.
+
+The deploy workflows need to tell Caddy to reload its config after each deploy so that committed Caddyfile changes are applied before the smoke test validates the public surface. Without a reload step, Caddy silently serves the previous config and the smoke test may pass against stale configuration.
+
+## Decision
+
+Use the host Docker socket (already mounted in every job container via `runner-config.yaml`) to spin up a **privileged sibling container** in the host PID namespace, then use `nsenter` to enter all host namespaces and call `systemctl reload caddy`:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Reload Caddy
+  run: |
+    docker run --rm --privileged --pid=host \
+      alpine:3.21@sha256:48b0309ca019d89d40f670aa1bc06e426dc0931948452e8491e3d65087abc07d \
+      sh -c 'apk add --no-cache util-linux -q && nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -p -i -- /bin/systemctl reload caddy'
+```
+
+`nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -p -i` enters the init process's mount, UTS, IPC, network, PID, and cgroup namespaces, giving `systemctl` a view of the real host systemd daemon.
+
+**Alpine is used** instead of Ubuntu: ~5 MB vs ~70 MB pull size, no unnecessary tooling. `util-linux` (which ships `nsenter`) is installed at run time; apk add takes ~1 s on the warm VPS cache. The image digest is pinned so any upstream change requires an explicit Renovate bump PR.
+
+**`reload` not `restart`**: reload sends SIGHUP so Caddy re-reads its config in-process without dropping TLS connections or in-flight requests.
+
+**No sudoers entry is required**: the Docker socket already grants root-equivalent host access. This pattern makes existing implicit privileges explicit rather than introducing new ones.
+
+This decision applies the same pattern to both `nightly.yml` and `release.yml` since both deploy the app stack and must apply Caddyfile changes before smoke-testing the public surface.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+| Alternative | Why rejected |
+|---|---|
+| `sudo systemctl reload caddy` in the job container | No systemd PID 1 inside the container — `systemctl` has nothing to connect to. `sudo` is not present in container images and would not help even if it were. |
+| Caddy admin API (`curl localhost:2019/load`) | Job containers do not share the host network namespace; `localhost:2019` on the host is unreachable. Exposing `:2019` on a host-bound port would add a network attack surface with no benefit over the current approach. |
+| SSH from the job container to the VPS host | Requires storing an SSH private key as a CI secret, managing authorized_keys on the host, and opening an inbound SSH path from the container. Adds key management overhead for a pattern that the Docker socket already enables more directly. |
+| Running Caddy as a Docker container (instead of host service) | Caddy manages TLS certificates via Let's Encrypt; running it in Docker complicates certificate persistence and renewal. As a host service, cert storage is straightforward and restarts do not risk rate-limit issues. This would be a larger infrastructure change unrelated to the CI gap. |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The runner host's Docker socket access is now a capability relied upon for host service management, not just for running `docker compose` commands. This is stated explicitly in the YAML comment so future reviewers understand the trust boundary.
+- The Caddyfile symlink on the VPS (`/etc/caddy/Caddyfile → /opt/familienarchiv/infra/caddy/Caddyfile`) is a required contract for CI to succeed. It is documented in `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md §3.1` and `docs/infrastructure/ci-gitea.md`. If the symlink is absent or mis-pointed, `systemctl reload caddy` succeeds but Caddy serves stale config.
+- Renovate will create bump PRs when a new Alpine 3.21 digest is published. Because the container runs `--privileged --pid=host`, these bump PRs must be reviewed manually and must not be auto-merged. A `packageRule` in `renovate.json` enforces this.
+- The step is duplicated between `nightly.yml` and `release.yml` (tracked in issue #539 for extraction into a composite action).
+- If Caddy is not running when the step executes, `systemctl reload` exits non-zero and the workflow aborts before the smoke test — preventing a misleading "port 443 refused" curl error.

+# ADR 013 — Client-Project Branch Coverage Threshold
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-05-14  
+**Issues:** [#556 — threshold drop](https://git.raddatz.cloud/marcel/familienarchiv/issues/556) · [#496 — long-tail-grind tracking](https://git.raddatz.cloud/marcel/familienarchiv/issues/496)
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The browser-mode component test suite (`vitest.client-coverage.config.ts`) enforces Istanbul coverage thresholds across `lines`, `functions`, `branches`, and `statements`. The `branches` metric was set to 80%, but the codebase sits at **75%** — below the gate — causing every CI run of `unit-tests` and `coverage-flake-probe` to fail on this check alone, even when all tests are green.
+
+**Measured baseline (2026-05-14, branch `feat/issue-553-birpc-async-mock-factory`, head `2e6cc346`):**
+
+```
+branches:   75%  (below the 80% gate — reason for this ADR)
+lines:      ≥ 80%
+functions:  ≥ 80%
+statements: ≥ 80%
+```
+
+Reproducer:
+
+```bash
+cd frontend && npm ci && npx vitest run -c vitest.client-coverage.config.ts --coverage
+```
+
+### The long-tail-grind problem
+
+In Istanbul's branch accounting, when a child component gains test coverage its branches are added to the parent's denominator. A child moving from 40% → 80% coverage can drag a parent from 78% → 72% because more branches in the call graph become reachable and must be covered. This is not a bug — it is how branch accounting works — but it means that on a large SvelteKit application the denominator grows with every coverage improvement, making an arbitrary 80% ceiling a constant grind. Per #496, the expected cost to reach 80% branches from 75% is 30–100+ commits with no guarantee of stability.
+
+### Why this layer is different
+
+The 80% branch floor used for backend unit/integration tests is appropriate for Java service code and permission logic. Browser-mode component coverage measures Svelte template branches: conditional class bindings, `{#if}` blocks, empty/loaded/error state guards. These branches have a fundamentally different accounting model and a higher inherent denominator. This ADR **only** lowers the browser-mode component gate; the backend test coverage gates are unaffected.
+
+### Security-relevant uncovered components
+
+The following auth/permission-boundary components currently have low or zero branch coverage. When ratchet-up work begins (see below), these are the highest-priority targets:
+
+- `src/routes/login/+page.svelte`
+- `src/routes/forgot-password/+page.svelte`
+- `src/routes/reset-password/+page.svelte`
+- `src/routes/register/+page.svelte`
+
+Note: the 75% figure already reflects the absence of coverage on these files. Lowering the gate does not create this gap — it makes the existing state legible.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+Drop the `branches` threshold from `80` → `75` in `frontend/vitest.client-coverage.config.ts`. Leave `lines`, `functions`, and `statements` at `80`.
+
+The 75% figure matches the measured current state, allowing CI to pass while deliberate coverage improvement work (tracked in #496) continues without blocking other PRs. The asymmetry in the thresholds block is intentional and documented with an inline comment pointing here.
+
+---
+
+## Ratchet Rule
+
+The branches threshold ratchets **up by 3 percentage points** when the rolling 3-PR-average client-project branches figure on `main` stays at or above `threshold + 3pp` for ≥ 30 consecutive days. Direction is **up-only** — never lower the floor below 75 without a new ADR superseding this one. Manual today (verify before any `vitest.client-coverage.config.ts` edit); a future automation issue may codify the check.
+
+Concretely:
+- When `main` sustains ≥ 78% branches across 3 consecutive PRs for 30 days → raise gate to 78%
+- When `main` sustains ≥ 81% branches across 3 consecutive PRs for 30 days → raise gate back to 80%
+
+---
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- **Not** raising actual branch coverage — that is #496's job, tracked separately.
+- **Not** touching the server-project coverage configuration (`vitest.config.ts`) — only the client project hits the long-tail-grind pattern.
+- **Not** removing or relaxing any existing test files, `skipIf` guards, or axe-playwright accessibility runs.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+**Easier:**
+- CI unblocked — `unit-tests` and `coverage-flake-probe` jobs pass when all tests are green
+- The ratchet rule creates a concrete, observable path back to 80%
+
+**Harder:**
+- The gate now has near-zero headroom — any branch regression that drops below 75% will fail CI immediately
+- The 75% floor must not be treated as a permanent ceiling; the ratchet discipline requires active attention

+# ADR 014 — Pin actions/upload-artifact to v3 (Gitea act_runner v4 protocol incompatibility)
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-05-14  
+**Issues:** [#557 — re-regression](https://git.raddatz.cloud/marcel/familienarchiv/issues/557) · [#14 — original incident](https://git.raddatz.cloud/marcel/familienarchiv/issues/14)
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+`actions/upload-artifact` is available in two incompatible major versions. The v4 client
+uploads via a GitHub-specific artifact API that is **not implemented** in Gitea's
+`act_runner` (the self-hosted CI substrate established by ADR-011). When a workflow step
+uses `actions/upload-artifact@v4` on this runner, `act_runner` returns a non-zero exit
+code from the v4 client even when all tests pass, producing:
+
+> green test suite — red job status — no artifact uploaded
+
+The failure lands in the upload step, _after_ the test output, making it hard to diagnose
+from the build log.
+
+### Incident history
+
+| Date | Commit | Event |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2026-03-19 | `9f3f022e` | Original downgrade: `upload-artifact@v4 → v3` |
+| 2026-03-19 | `4142c7cd` | Rationale committed; closes #14 |
+| 2026-05-05 | `410b91e2` | Re-regression: upgraded back to v4 without referencing #14 |
+| 2026-05-14 | this PR | Second downgrade + ADR + grep guard |
+
+The root cause of the re-regression was institutional-memory failure: the original
+rationale was captured only in a commit body, invisible at the point of change (the
+`uses:` line). This ADR, the inline comments, and the grep guard are the three
+defence layers that replace that missing breadcrumb.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+**Pin all `actions/upload-artifact` and `actions/download-artifact` call sites to `@v3`.**
+
+Both action families share the same v4 protocol incompatibility with `act_runner`.
+Pinning to the major tag (`@v3`) keeps us on the latest v3 patch without Renovate noise.
+
+Three call sites are pinned:
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — "Upload coverage reports" step
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — "Upload screenshots" step
+- `.gitea/workflows/coverage-flake-probe.yml` — "Upload coverage log on failure" step
+
+Each pinned `uses:` line carries a load-bearing inline comment:
+
+```yaml
+# Gitea Actions (act_runner) does not implement upload-artifact v4 protocol — pinned per ADR-014. Do NOT upgrade. See #557.
+- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
+```
+
+A CI grep guard enforces the constraint automatically (see below).
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Enforcement layers (defence in depth)
+
+1. **Inline comments** on every `uses:` line — visible at the point of change.
+2. **CI grep guard** in `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` ("Assert no (upload|download)-artifact
+   past v3") — fails the build if a future commit re-introduces `@v4` or higher on any
+   workflow file. Anchored to YAML `uses:` lines to avoid false positives on embedded
+   shell strings. Includes a self-test that proves the regex catches v4+ before scanning
+   the repo.
+3. **This ADR** — canonical rationale; cross-referenced by comments and guard message.
+
+### How to spot the symptom
+
+- Test suite output shows green (vitest, surefire, pytest all exit 0)
+- CI job status shows red
+- Artifacts section of the run is empty
+- Build log shows a non-zero exit from the `Upload …` step immediately after green tests
+
+### `@v3` maintenance-mode status
+
+GitHub placed `actions/upload-artifact@v3` in maintenance mode (no new features) but it
+has not been removed and carries no known unpatched CVE as of this writing. If GitHub
+publishes a v3-specific security advisory, that is an additional trigger to re-evaluate
+(see upgrade conditions below).
+
+### When to remove this pin
+
+Re-evaluate pinning **when either condition is met:**
+
+1. `gitea/act_runner` ships a release with v4 artifact protocol support. Track upstream:
+   <https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner>
+2. `actions/upload-artifact@v3` acquires an unpatched CVE that cannot be mitigated
+   at the runner level.
+
+When upgrading: remove the grep guard step, update all three `uses:` lines, remove the
+inline comments, and update this ADR's status to Superseded.
+
+---
+
+## Alternatives
+
+### SHA pinning (`uses: actions/upload-artifact@<sha>`)
+
+More secure against action repository compromise, but adds Renovate update friction
+and is disproportionate for a self-hosted, single-tenant Gitea instance with one
+trusted contributor (ADR-011). Rejected.
+
+### Minor/patch pinning (`@v3.4.0`)
+
+Avoids Renovate PRs but freezes us on a specific patch. The v3 major track is in
+maintenance mode — minor pinning has no benefit and would require manual updates
+for any v3 security patches. Rejected.
+
+### Renovate `packageRules` bypass
+
+Would prevent automated PRs from proposing v4. Not needed while Renovate is not
+configured for this repository. Revisit if Renovate is introduced.
+
+### Migrating the runner to a v4-compatible Gitea release
+
+Out of scope for this issue. A separate decision; tracked in #557's non-goals.

 ---
 
-## Self-Hosted Runner Provisioning
+## Runner Architecture
 
-Gitea Actions requires self-hosted runners. GitHub Actions provides `ubuntu-latest` for free; on Gitea you run the runner yourself.
+Familienarchiv uses **two runners** on the same Hetzner VPS:
 
-```bash
+| Runner | Purpose | Config |
-# On the VPS — register a Gitea Actions runner
+|---|---|---|
-docker run -d --name gitea-runner --restart unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v gitea-runner-data:/data -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=https://gitea.example.com -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<token-from-gitea-settings> -e GITEA_RUNNER_NAME=vps-runner-1 -e GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS=ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20-bullseye gitea/act_runner:latest
+| `gitea` (Docker container) | Hosts Gitea itself | `infra/gitea/docker-compose.yml` |
+| `gitea-runner` (Docker container) | Runs all CI and deploy jobs | `infra/gitea/docker-compose.yml` + `/root/docker/gitea/runner-config.yaml` |
+
+Both containers live in the `gitea_gitea` Docker network on the VPS. The runner connects to Gitea via the LAN IP so job containers (which don't share the `gitea_gitea` network) can also reach it.
+
+### Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD)
+
+The `gitea-runner` container mounts the host Docker socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`). When a workflow job runs, act_runner spawns a **sibling container** for each job. That job container also gets the Docker socket mounted (via `valid_volumes` in `runner-config.yaml`), enabling `docker compose` calls in workflow steps.
+
+### Running host-level commands from CI (nsenter pattern)
+
+Job containers are unprivileged and do not share the host's PID/mount/network namespaces. Commands like `systemctl` that target the host daemon are therefore unavailable by default. When a workflow step needs to manage a host service (e.g. `systemctl reload caddy`), it uses the Docker socket to spin up a **privileged sibling container** in the host PID namespace:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Reload Caddy
+  run: |
+    docker run --rm --privileged --pid=host \
+      alpine:3.21@sha256:48b0309ca019d89d40f670aa1bc06e426dc0931948452e8491e3d65087abc07d \
+      sh -c 'apk add --no-cache util-linux -q && nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -p -i -- /bin/systemctl reload caddy'
 ```
 
-The runner label `ubuntu-latest` maps to the Docker image it uses -- this is how `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` in the workflow YAML continues to work unchanged.
+`nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -p -i` enters the init process's mount, UTS, IPC, network, PID, and cgroup namespaces, giving `systemctl` a view of the real host systemd. No sudoers entry is required — the Docker socket already grants root-equivalent host access.
+
+Alpine is used instead of Ubuntu: ~5 MB vs ~70 MB, and the digest is pinned to a specific sha256 so any upstream change requires an explicit Renovate bump PR. `util-linux` (which ships `nsenter`) is not part of the Alpine base image but is installed at run time in ~1 s from the warm VPS cache.
+
+#### Why not `sudo systemctl` in the job container?
+
+Job containers run as root inside an unprivileged Docker namespace. There is no systemd PID 1 inside the container — `systemctl` would attempt to reach a socket that does not exist. `sudo` is not present in container images and would not help even if it were.
+
+#### Why not Caddy's admin API?
+
+Caddy ships a localhost admin API at `:2019` by default. Job containers do not share the host network namespace, so they cannot reach `localhost:2019` on the host. Exposing `:2019` on a host-bound port to make it reachable would add a network attack surface with no benefit over the current approach.
+
+### Caddyfile symlink contract
+
+The deploy workflows reload Caddy to pick up committed Caddyfile changes. This relies on a symlink that must exist on the VPS:
+
+```
+/etc/caddy/Caddyfile → /opt/familienarchiv/infra/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+Created once during server bootstrap (see `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md §3.1`). Verify with:
+
+```bash
+ls -la /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+# Expected: lrwxrwxrwx ... /etc/caddy/Caddyfile -> /opt/familienarchiv/infra/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting: Reload Caddy step fails
+
+**Failure mode 1 — Caddy is stopped**
+
+Symptom in CI log:
+```
+Failed to reload caddy.service: Unit caddy.service is not active.
+```
+
+Recovery:
+```bash
+ssh root@<vps>
+systemctl start caddy
+systemctl status caddy   # confirm Active: active (running)
+```
+
+Re-run the workflow via Gitea Actions → "Re-run workflow".
+
+**Failure mode 2 — Caddyfile symlink is missing or mis-pointed**
+
+This failure is silent — `systemctl reload caddy` exits 0 but Caddy reloads whatever `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` currently resolves to. The smoke test may then pass against stale config.
+
+Symptom: smoke test fails on the HSTS value or the `/actuator/health → 404` check despite the Reload Caddy step succeeding.
+
+Diagnosis:
+```bash
+ssh root@<vps>
+ls -la /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+# Should be: lrwxrwxrwx ... /etc/caddy/Caddyfile -> /opt/familienarchiv/infra/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+Recovery if symlink is wrong or missing:
+```bash
+ln -sf /opt/familienarchiv/infra/caddy/Caddyfile /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+systemctl reload caddy
+```
+
+**Failure mode 3 — nsenter / Docker socket unavailable**
+
+Symptom in CI log:
+```
+docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock.
+```
+or
+```
+nsenter: failed to execute /bin/systemctl: No such file or directory
+```
+
+The first error means the Docker socket is not mounted into the job container — check `valid_volumes` in `/root/docker/gitea/runner-config.yaml` on the VPS. The second means the Alpine image is running but cannot enter the host mount namespace; verify `--privileged` and `--pid=host` are both present in the workflow step.

 # Production Docker Compose & Infrastructure
 
-This document contains the full production Docker Compose file, Caddyfile, VPS sizing recommendations, cost breakdown, and Hetzner ecosystem overview.
+This document covers VPS sizing, monthly cost, and the Hetzner ecosystem rationale. The compose file and Caddyfile that previously lived inline in this doc are now committed to the repo root.
+
+> **Where to find the live files (after #497)**
+> - Production compose: [`docker-compose.prod.yml`](../../docker-compose.prod.yml) (standalone, not an overlay)
+> - Caddyfile: [`infra/caddy/Caddyfile`](../../infra/caddy/Caddyfile)
+> - Deploy workflows: [`.gitea/workflows/nightly.yml`](../../.gitea/workflows/nightly.yml) and [`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`](../../.gitea/workflows/release.yml)
+> - Bootstrap checklist, secrets, rollback procedure: [`docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`](../DEPLOYMENT.md)
+
+The original spec in this doc proposed an overlay pattern (`docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml`) with MinIO disabled in production in favour of Hetzner Object Storage. That approach was retired in #497 in favour of a standalone prod compose that keeps MinIO self-hosted on the VPS. The Hetzner OBS migration is tracked as a future follow-up; the swap is three env vars + `mc mirror` once we decide to do it.
