+`environmentFromAppId` is optional and copies the existing QuickStack runtime
+environment from another application before applying the target application's
+declared `environment` and `secretEnvironment` overrides. This is intended for
+workers that share backend credentials with an API without duplicating secret
+values in Git or Actions. `volumeMountPaths` can map an existing QuickStack
+volume ID or shared-volume ID to a safe absolute container path; it never
+creates or replaces a volume. QuickStack's deployment identity variable is
+never inherited from the source application.
+
+Candidate pipelines build every artifact once, push `sha-<commit>`, resolve the registry digest and deploy applications in dependency order. Same-repository pull requests publish their verified immutable candidates immediately. A fast-forward merge keeps the tested commit SHA, so the subsequent branch push only pulls, verifies and deploys those candidates instead of building them again. A no-ff merge commit is also reused when its tree matches the configured merge parent, so Gitea's merge commit does not force a second identical build. Fork pull requests remain validation-only and never publish. A pull request into a promotion branch must originate from `source.branch`; it pulls and verifies the already tested `sha-<commit>` candidates without rebuilding or deploying them. Promotion pushes require a merge parent with an identical Git tree, trace tree-equivalent staging merge commits back to their tested candidate parent, pull the existing candidate, verify required container files, add the SemVer alias, deploy the exact digests, create the immutable tag and publish the canonical Gitea release. Tag creation does not trigger another scoped pipeline because the workflow listens only to branch pushes.
+
+Scoped workflows can distribute version 2 artifact builds across independent
+runner jobs by invoking the action with `mode: build` and a zero-based
+`artifact-index`. A final job invokes `mode: coordinate` after all build jobs.
+Candidate tags are the synchronization boundary, so exact digests never depend
+on matrix output merging. Published candidates also maintain a per-image
+`buildcache` tag with inline BuildKit metadata for ephemeral runners. Version 1
+manifests remain on the serial coordinator compatibility path.

+# QuickStack Job Runner Image
+
+This image is the small, source-controlled job container used by the Nuvisphere
+Gitea runners for `ubuntu-latest`, `ubuntu-24.04` and `ubuntu-22.04` jobs.
+
+It replaces `docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest` for QuickStack
+workloads. The full upstream image is large and has caused slow or stuck pulls
+on production runners. This image starts from Gitea's slim Node runner image
+and adds only the tools required by the shared QuickStack OCI workflow:
+
+- Docker CLI and Buildx
+- Git
+- curl
+- jq
+- OpenSSH client
+- CA certificates
+- zstd
+
+The stable production tag is:
+
+```text
+gitea.nuvisphere.de/nuvisphere/quickstack-job:node20-docker27
+```
+
+The publish workflow also pushes an immutable commit tag:
+
+```text
+gitea.nuvisphere.de/nuvisphere/quickstack-job:sha-<commit>
+```
