Run the lint inside Docker via Dockerfile.lint (closes #38)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 1m23s

Add a root Dockerfile.lint that runs `hugo --minify --printPathWarnings`
as a build step, so a successful build IS a clean lint, and reduce
script/lint to building that file. There is no host lint path and
deliberately no "am I already inside a container?" branch, which would
be a host lint path in disguise.

The containerisation boundary is lint only, per the owner ruling on the
issue: formatting is not a lint, so script/fmt and script/fmt-check stay
on the host, unchanged in version, scope and flags. That also removes
the forced duplication of prettier's settings between a script and a
Dockerfile, and with it the keep-in-sync notes that duplication needed.

Dockerfile.lint has exactly one stage on purpose. A whole-file
`docker build -f Dockerfile.lint .` builds only the file's last stage,
and sibling stages off a shared base carry no ordering edge, so a second
stage beside the lint would be silently skipped by exactly the
invocation the canonical org-wide script/lint uses -- a green that
linted nothing, which the per-stage CHECK_EPOCH guard cannot catch
because the stage that did run satisfies it. With one stage there is
nothing to skip and script/lint needs no --target. A comment in the file
says that any second check added here must be chained or carry an
explicit ordering edge, never left as a sibling.

Its first four instructions are byte-identical to the main Dockerfile's
and in the same order, so the expensive `RUN script/bootstrap` layer
that compiles the pinned Hugo from source is shared between the two
images rather than paid twice.

Resolve the recursion by direction, not detection. `make check` calls
script/lint, and script/lint is now a `docker build`, so `RUN make
check` in an image would attempt a docker build inside a build step
where there is no daemon. The main Dockerfile therefore runs the
individual non-lint checks -- script/test and script/fmt-check, as
separate RUN lines under the CHECK_EPOCH guard -- matching the canonical
shape, and only the lint is absent from it. script/cibuild runs
script/lint first, for fail-fast feedback: on a runner with no cached
bootstrap layer a lint failure should not wait behind a Hugo build from
source. CI coverage is therefore unchanged, and it runs the same scripts
a developer runs.

Caching is waived for the lint in the shape this repo already settled:
ARG CHECK_EPOCH with no default, guarded with
`[ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1`, and the value expanded into the
linted command as well as the guard, so invalidation never rests on
BuildKit's treatment of an unreferenced ARG. Every image-building
entrypoint generates and passes it -- script/cibuild, script/docker,
script/lint -- each as a whole assignment rather than inline, for the
`set -e` reason script/cibuild documents.

script/lint builds with `--output type=cacheonly`: the build is run for
its exit status, not for an image, and because the lint layer is
cache-busted on every invocation an exporting build leaves one dangling
image per lint run. On a host shared with other work that accumulates.
The build cache is unaffected, so script/bootstrap still hits, and
failures still propagate.

Two divergences from REPO_POLICIES.md, stated rather than buried:

  - REPO_POLICIES.md:92, "all Dockerfiles must run `make check`". That
    rule and "every lint run happens in Docker" cannot both hold once
    `make check` contains the lint.
  - REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168, which requires a separate lint stage whose
    result the build stage depends on through
    `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null`, on the stated grounds that
    without the edge "the build stage would not wait for lint to finish
    and a lint failure might not fail the overall build". No such edge
    exists here: the lint is its own file and its own build, sequenced
    by script/cibuild rather than by BuildKit. Both sections are
    superseded upstream by 12e8db8 in sneak/prompts, which deletes the
    Go multistage lint stage and its ordering trick for the same reason
    -- that stage ran `make lint`, which is now a docker build.

Verified: two consecutive script/lint runs on an unchanged tree both
executed hugo for real, distinct epochs echoed, script/bootstrap CACHED,
second run 0.85s; a whole-file `docker build -f Dockerfile.lint .` with
the argument and no --target ran the lint for real; a bare build with no
argument failed closed on the guard; a planted template error failed the
lint with hugo's own render error and made script/cibuild exit non-zero
in 0.6s with the main image build never starting; a planted over-long
line failed the host script/fmt-check; both reverted and re-run clean;
`make check`, script/docker and script/cibuild all green with every
check layer observed executing rather than served from cache, and the
bootstrap layer CACHED in both images. The deploy path is byte-identical
to main: .gitea/, script/bootstrap, script/test and .dockerignore are
untouched.

# Next Step
Move the artifact actions in `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` to v4 once this Gitea
Actions instance serves the v4 artifact protocol; they are pinned on the
deprecated v3 line because v4 fails here (#20). This touches the live deploy
path, so it needs a real workflow run to verify rather than a local check.
Add the missing `cibuild` and `precommit` shims to the `Makefile`, so that every
documented entrypoint has a make target and the documented "always use make
targets" rule is actually satisfiable
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/lora.vegas/issues/34). Done when `make cibuild` and
`make precommit` exist, are declared `.PHONY`, and the README Entrypoints
section matches.
# Completed Steps
- 2026-08-10: moved the lint into Docker
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/lora.vegas/issues/38). A new root `Dockerfile.lint`
runs `hugo --minify --printPathWarnings` as a build step, so a successful
build is a clean lint, and `script/lint` is nothing but a build of that file —
no host path and deliberately no "already inside a container?" branch, which
would be a host lint path in disguise. The containerisation boundary is lint
only, per the owner ruling of the same day: formatting is not a lint, so
`script/fmt` and `script/fmt-check` stay on the host. `Dockerfile.lint` has
exactly one stage on purpose. A whole-file `docker build -f Dockerfile.lint .`
builds only the file's last stage, and sibling stages off a shared base have
no ordering edge, so any second stage beside the lint would be silently
skipped by the invocation the canonical org-wide `script/lint` uses — a green
that linted nothing. With one stage there is nothing to skip and `script/lint`
needs no `--target`. Its first four instructions are byte-identical to the
main `Dockerfile`'s, so the expensive `RUN script/bootstrap` layer that
compiles Hugo from source is shared between the two images rather than paid
twice. The recursion this creates was resolved by direction, not detection:
`make check` calls `script/lint`, so the main `Dockerfile` can no longer
`RUN make check` — that would attempt a docker build inside a build step, in a
bare Alpine with no docker client and no daemon socket. It runs the individual
non-lint checks instead, `script/test` and `script/fmt-check`, matching the
canonical shape upstream, and `script/cibuild` runs `script/lint` first for
fail-fast feedback before the main image build starts. So CI still covers all
three checks and cannot drift from what a developer runs. Caching is waived
for the lint exactly as the main `Dockerfile` already does it:
`ARG CHECK_EPOCH` with no default, guarded with
`[ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1`, and the value expanded into the linted
command as well as the guard, so invalidation never rests on BuildKit's
handling of an unreferenced `ARG`. Every image-building entrypoint generates
and passes it — `script/cibuild`, `script/docker`, `script/lint` — which is
the failure mode this repo already hit once, a Dockerfile guard asserting a
property one entrypoint did not supply. `script/lint` builds with
`--output type=cacheonly`: the build is run for its exit status, not for an
image, and since the lint layer is cache-busted every run an exporting build
would leave one dangling image per lint on a host shared with other work.

printed); a whole-file `docker build -f Dockerfile.lint .` with the argument
and no `--target` ran the lint for real, which is the regression test for the
skipped-sibling hazard; a bare build with no argument failed closed on the
guard; a planted template error failed the lint with hugo's own render error
and made `script/cibuild` exit in 0.6s without the main image build starting
at all; a planted over-long line failed the host `script/fmt-check` with
`[warn] README.md`; both violations were reverted and re-run clean. Not
changed here, and still true: the lint fails on hugo build errors but not on
render-target collisions, which `--printPathWarnings` only prints
