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.

+# 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.
