feat(runner): install zstd so the actions cache is not gzipped single-threaded

actions/cache -- and actions/setup-go, which builds on it -- packs its archive
with zstdmt when zstd is present and falls back to single-threaded gzip when
it is not. The archive name says which happened: cache.tzst against cache.tgz.

Measured in l.kirchner/patchmgr, CI run 1957. The cache is GOMODCACHE plus
GOCACHE and runs to 2-5 GB. runner-gpu has zstd and writes cache.tzst;
runner-01, -02 and -03 write cache.tgz, and go test -race (stable) spent 605
seconds packing it for a job with 41 seconds of work. Across all eight jobs of
that run, 2312 of 3146 seconds went into this step.

This does not settle whether the cache is wanted at all -- in host mode with a
persistent home both directories survive between jobs anyway, and patchmgr is
switching it off for that reason. But as long as any repository on the
instance uses it, it should not be compressed on one core.

zstd is a package for the post step, not for jobs, so it sits with the others
rather than in a workflow: this runner installs nothing at job time, by
design.

 ## Usage
 
-Run any one-liner on a Proxmox VE host as root (Web UI → Node → Shell works fine). You'll be prompted for CTID, hostname, disk, RAM, CPU, bridge, storage and IP. Defaults are sane.
+Interactive prompts cover CTID, hostname, disk, RAM, CPU, bridge/VLAN, storage, IP/gateway/DNS — plus app-specific values. Defaults are sane. Non-interactive override via env vars:

-Non-interactive override via env vars:

   bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitea.luki-net.org/luki-net/proxmox-scripts/raw/branch/main/ct/devpi.sh)"
 ```
 
-All defaults (`DEFAULT_HOSTNAME`, `DEFAULT_DISK`, …) are settable per-call via env vars as well.
+All defaults (`DEFAULT_HOSTNAME`, `DEFAULT_DISK`, …) and app config values are settable per call via env vars.
 
-## Contributing (verbindlich seit K-114)
+Every input is validated (digits-only for CTID/disk/cores/RAM/VLAN, IP/CIDR/gateway format, hostname/storage charsets). Invalid interactive input re-prompts — including pasted values with invisible control/non-ASCII bytes, which are rejected rather than silently stripped. Env-provided values are validated too and abort the run when malformed (no re-prompt loop in non-interactive use).
 
-**Alle Änderungen laufen als PR mit Cross-Review** — keine Direkt-Commits auf `main`. Hintergrund: Der „`build.func` nicht gesourct"-Bug hat es einmal bis in die Produktion geschafft (authentik-Anlage), während dieselbe Fehlerklasse im nexus-db-PR vom Review gefangen wurde. Die CI (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, Runner-Label `homelab` — instanzweiter Runner aus `ct/runner.sh`) erzwingt zusätzlich: `bash -n` über alle Scripts, „jedes `ct/*.sh` sourct `build.func`" (`tests/check_ct_source.sh`) und die Validierungs-Unit-Tests (`tests/test_validation.sh`).
+## The pattern
 
-Eingaben in `prompt_lxc_config` sind validiert (Ziffern-Checks, IP/CIDR/Gateway-Format, Re-Prompt bei unsichtbaren Steuer-/Non-ASCII-Zeichen — Lesson vom 2026-06-11). Neue App-Prompts bitte über `prompt_validated`/`require_valid` aus `lib/build.func` bauen statt nacktem `read`.
+Two files per app, both sourcing the shared libs via `curl`:
+
+- **`ct/<app>.sh`** runs on the PVE host: prompts → unprivileged LXC → pushes a config env file into the container → bootstraps the installer. Apps that need Docker (authentik, runner) enable `nesting+keyctl` automatically. The standard prompts include an **SSH root login choice** (`SSH_ROOT_LOGIN`, default yes for homelab convenience; `no` keeps the Debian key-only default) — applied inside the container as an sshd drop-in by `configure_ssh_root_login`.
+- **`install/<app>-install.sh`** runs inside the LXC: packages, unprivileged app user, secrets generated on-host (never printed), systemd units, a `/root/<app>.credentials` notes file — then shreds the bootstrap env. Idempotent where it matters: re-runs skip what exists. `setup_base_apt` also fixes the bare-template **locale situation**: `C.UTF-8` is exported up front (glibc built-in, covers the first apt run without perl warnings), then `en_US.UTF-8` is generated and set as the system default.
+
+**DB installers** carry one extra rule: a PostgreSQL cluster/database freezes its encoding at initdb / `CREATE DATABASE` time and it can never be changed afterwards. A C (non-UTF-8) locale yields a `SQL_ASCII` cluster — psycopg3 then hands text back as bytes and SQLAlchemy crashes. So the pattern (helpers `ensure_utf8_locale_active` + `assert_db_encoding_utf8` in `lib/install.func`) is: make a UTF-8 locale **active** before the server package runs initdb, create the database **explicitly** with `TEMPLATE template0 ENCODING 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE/LC_CTYPE 'en_US.UTF-8'` (never inherit the cluster default), and **verify** `pg_encoding_to_char` returns `UTF8` before finishing — a wrong encoding aborts the install (it's DB damage, see wiki → Lessons). Maintenance examples use `su - postgres -c …`, not `sudo` — these minimal LXCs have no sudo.
+
+Shared libs: [`lib/build.func`](lib/build.func) (host-side: prompts, LXC create, bootstrap) and [`lib/install.func`](lib/install.func) (in-container: apt, users, systemd, http-wait).
+
+## Security conventions
+
+- Unprivileged LXCs only; app processes run as dedicated system users.
+- Least privilege everywhere: narrow sudoers (exact-match commands — sudoers compares **verbatim incl. arguments**), DB allowlists, LAN-only binds for inference ports.
+- Secrets are generated on the target host and live in `0600` files — never in the repo, the wiki or chat logs.
+- **Runner separation:** the nexus runner is repo-scoped and lives on the production LXC *because* it holds deploy rights; the general `runner` LXC is instance-wide *because* it holds none. Don't mix these scopes.
+
+### CIS Tier-A hardening
+
+[`install/cis-tierA.sh`](install/cis-tierA.sh) applies the Tier-A baseline to an existing Debian 12 LXC: SSH drop-in, `login.defs` aging + YESCRYPT, pwquality/faillock, PAM (pwquality, pwhistory, faillock, `nullok` removed) and auditd rules. It is idempotent, backs everything up to `/root/cis-hardening-backup-<ts>/`, gates the SSH restart on `sshd -t` and rolls PAM back if a referenced module is missing.
+
+```bash
+pct push <id> install/cis-tierA.sh /root/cis-tierA.sh
+pct exec <id> -- bash /root/cis-tierA.sh
+```
+
+Applied to authentik first (2026-07-24), then to 11 further containers. The PVE hosts and the Wazuh manager VM stay unhardened on purpose — they are the break-glass foundation.
+
+Two things worth knowing before touching it:
+
+- **Section 1 rewrites `99-cis-hardening.conf` wholesale on every run.** Host-specific exceptions belong in a separate drop-in that sorts *after* it (e.g. `99-zz-local-forward.conf`), never in that file. A `Match` block extends until the next `Match` — across `Include` file boundaries — so such a drop-in has to stay alphabetically last.
+- **Forwarding is denied per option, not via `DisableForwarding`.** Both are equivalent in effect, but `DisableForwarding` overrides every other forwarding option *and* does not appear in `sshd -T` output. A denied port-forward then reports `administratively prohibited` while `sshd -T` cheerfully claims `allowtcpforwarding yes`, which costs hours to diagnose.
+
+Caveat: auditd is a no-op in unprivileged LXCs (the host owns the audit subsystem); the script probes for it and removes the package again if it cannot load rules. Together with the Section-1 partition/kernel checks that are equally N/A in a container, the achievable SCA score stays well below 100 %.
+
+## Contributing
+
+**All changes go through a pull request with cross-review** (Claude Code ↔ Codex, or a human) — no direct pushes to `main`. This rule exists because of two real incidents: a pasted VLAN tag carrying an invisible non-UTF-8 byte broke `pct create` mid-run, and the "missing `source build.func`" bug shipped twice — caught in review on the nexus-db PR, but reaching production via an un-reviewed authentik commit (see wiki → Lessons).
+
+CI (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, instance-wide `homelab` runner from [ct/runner.sh](ct/runner.sh)) enforces on every PR: `bash -n` over all scripts, the "every `ct/*.sh` sources `build.func`" check ([tests/check_ct_source.sh](tests/check_ct_source.sh)) and the validation unit tests ([tests/test_validation.sh](tests/test_validation.sh)); shellcheck runs when available on the runner.
+
+Build new app prompts on `prompt_validated`/`require_valid` from `lib/build.func` instead of bare `read`. How to add a script: [docs/adding-a-script.md](docs/adding-a-script.md).

+# instanzweit registriert werden (jedes Repo könnte sonst Workflows auf der
+# Produktionsmaschine ausführen). Dieser LXC ist die saubere Trennung:

+#   - Label "homelab:host" (Deploy-Jobs bleiben auf "nexus")
+#   - KEINE sudoers-Regeln, kein Zugriff auf Produktions-Verzeichnisse
+#   - Docker via Nesting für Wegwerf-Test-Container (z. B. pgvector in CI)
+#
+# Sicherheitsmodell: siehe Kopfkommentar in install/runner-install.sh —

+#   gcc                  ohne gefundenen C-Compiler bleibt cgo aus (go env
+#                        meldet dann CGO_ENABLED=0), und "go test -race" ist
+#                        nicht baubar
+#   protobuf-compiler    protoc fuer die Codegenerierung
+#   libprotobuf-dev      liefert /usr/include/google/protobuf/*.proto; ohne die
+#                        Includes scheitert protoc trotz vorhandenem Binary
+#
+# ACHTUNG protoc: Das bindet jedes Repo der Instanz an die protoc-Fassung der
+# Distribution (Debian 12: 3.21.x). Anders als make/gcc ist protoc ein
+# Codegenerator — ein Distro-Upgrade aendert erzeugten Code fuer alle Nutzer
+# gleichzeitig. Wer eine eigene Fassung braucht, pinnt sie im Projekt
+# (Release-Tarball, buf, oder Docker — der Runner hat Docker) statt sie hier
+# zu heben.
+#
+# zstd: kein Werkzeug fuer Jobs, sondern fuer den Nachlauf. `actions/cache`
+# — und damit auch `actions/setup-go`, das darauf aufsetzt — packt seinen
+# Cache mit `zstdmt`, wenn zstd vorhanden ist, und faellt sonst auf
+# einkerniges gzip zurueck. Der Unterschied ist am Archivnamen zu sehen:
+# `cache.tzst` gegen `cache.tgz`.
+#
+# Gemessen am 02./03.09.2026 in l.kirchner/patchmgr, CI-Lauf 1957: Der Cache
+# aus GOMODCACHE und GOCACHE ist dort 2 bis 5 GB gross. Auf runner-gpu (hat
+# zstd) heisst er `cache.tzst`; auf runner-01/02/03 `cache.tgz`, und
+# `go test -race (stable)` verbrachte damit **605 Sekunden** im Nachlauf bei
+# 41 Sekunden Arbeit. Ueber alle acht Jobs waren es 2312 von 3146 Sekunden.
+#
+# Das ersetzt nicht die Frage, ob dieser Cache ueberhaupt gebraucht wird — im
+# Host-Mode mit dauerhaftem Zuhause ueberleben beide Verzeichnisse ohnehin
+# zwischen den Jobs, und patchmgr schaltet ihn deshalb ab. Aber solange
+# irgendein Repo der Instanz ihn nutzt, soll er nicht einkernig komprimiert
+# werden. Belege: .specs/reports/ci-laufzeit-und-cache-2026-09-02.md dort.
