@claude migrate FuzeInfra CI to self-hosted + enable DinD, and clear the stranded @claude backlog

[izzywdev]

@claude — org-wide GitHub-hosted Actions ran out of budget, which stranded every FuzeInfra workflow on ubuntu-latest (jobs die in ~2s, runner_id 0, no logs). Hosted budget was just topped up so you can run again, but this must be made durable. Please do the following and open a PR:

1. Move FuzeInfra's own workflows off ubuntu-latest to the self-hosted runner

Every FuzeInfra workflow except the one already on [self-hosted, kind-host] runs on ubuntu-latest (35 jobs). Critically, .github/workflows/claude.yml (this handler) is on ubuntu-latest line 44 — so when hosted budget is exhausted, cross-repo @claude delegation cannot run at all. That is exactly why issues delegated to FuzeInfra (see #2) were never picked up. Migrate the CI/build/query workflows (including claude.yml, claude-ci-autofix.yml, claude-auto-pr.yml, and cluster-query.yml) to the FuzeInfra self-hosted ARC scale set so delegation, builds, and prod introspection no longer depend on hosted minutes. arc-register-style bootstrap workflows must stay hosted (chicken-and-egg).

2. Enable Docker/DinD + warm tool-cache on the ARC runners

The mendysrobotics ARC scale set (and presumably FuzeInfra's own) has no docker compose — any compose/docker-build job fails immediately with unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -f. This blocks MendysRobotics build-and-push, gate-localup, gate-build, and Integration/Contract from ever running self-hosted (they are currently forced back onto hosted runners as a stopgap). Please enable docker-in-docker (sidecar or mounted socket) on the ARC scale sets, and bake a warm hostedtoolcache (Python 3.10/3.11, Node 20) into the runner image or allow egress to api.github.com / github.com/actions/* / objects.githubusercontent.com (setup-python currently times out fetching the version manifest on cold pods).

3. Triage and clear the stranded @claude backlog

Because the handler was on dead hosted runners, several delegated issues were opened but never actioned. Please review ALL currently-open issues in izzywdev/FuzeInfra that mention @claude (including the DinD/self-hosted-runner requests around #233 and a follow-up I filed today titled 'ARC self-hosted runners need docker-compose/DinD + warm tool-cache'), dedupe them into this work, action them, and close them with a DONE:/BLOCKED: note per the cross-repo hand-off contract.

Verification

After the change, a fresh @claude mention here should be handled by a self-hosted runner (not ubuntu-latest), and a MendysRobotics compose/docker-build job should succeed when pointed at the ARC scale set. Reply here with DONE: or BLOCKED: so the MendysRobotics side can move its Docker gates back to self-hosted. Context repo: izzywdev/MendysRobotics (PR #159/#160).

Summary

Root-caused and fixed the DinD failure durably, and cleared the stranded backlog. Two hard limits shaped what I could push directly: (a) the Claude GitHub App cannot modify .github/workflows/, and (b) I can't safely publish a prod runner image to GHCR from here (App token, and a private/missing image would ImagePullBackOff every runner). So task #2's code fix is merged-ready on this branch; tasks #1 and the compose-image publish are handed back with exact steps.

• Gather context (ARC config, workflow inventory, live cluster, backlog)
• Fix three code bugs #2 Enable Docker/DinD on ARC scale sets — root-caused + fixed in code
• fix(infra): resolve airflow/kafka-ui port clash and drop unrunnable healthchecks #3 Triage & clear the @claude backlog — 7 closed, 1 left open (blocked)
• feat: Add ChromaDB Vector Database Service to FuzeInfra Platform #1 Workflow migration — diffs provided (App can't edit .github/workflows/)

#2 — DinD (root cause + fix, pushed to this branch)

The live runner pods had only a runner container, no dind sidecar. Reason: containerMode: dind had only landed in runner-scale-set-values.yaml, which is used only for FuzeInfra's own staging set. Every consumer scale set (fuzehub, fuzesocial, mendysrobotics, …) is registered through register-repo.sh, whose inline Helm values had no containerMode.

• register-repo.sh: added containerMode: type: dind → all consumer scale sets now get a real Docker daemon (docker build / buildx build --push / run work self-hosted).
• Compose caveat (expert-verified): the stock actions-runner image ships the docker CLI + buildx but not the compose‑v2 plugin — so docker compose -f … still throws unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -f. Added runners/arc/Dockerfile that bakes the compose plugin (+ a warm‑hostedtoolcache slot). Publish it and set RUNNER_IMAGE/image: to enable compose.
• Right-sized resources (runner mem 2Gi; dropped default maxRunners 5→3 — the unbounded dind sidecar on the 7.75 GB CI node is the real OOM risk); removed a stale debug entrypoint wrapper; corrected the docs.

To go live: merge → re-register each scale set (re-run arc-register.yml; arc-reinstall-scaleset.yml for staging) — the dind sidecar only appears on pods created after the values change. Compose additionally needs the image from runners/arc/Dockerfile published (make the GHCR package public) + RUNNER_IMAGE pointed at it.

#1 — Workflow runs-on migration (⚠️ BLOCKED — App can't edit .github/workflows/)

cluster-query.yml is already on staging. claude-ci-autofix.yml is a caller that uses: a reusable workflow in izzywdev/AITools — its runs-on lives there (cross-repo). The remaining handlers need this one-liner each (please apply — I can't):

# .github/workflows/claude.yml (line 44), claude-auto-pr.yml (line 18), claude-smoke.yml (line 22)
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    runs-on: staging

Chicken-and-egg caveat: with claude.yml on staging, if the self-hosted runner is ever down, @claude can't self-recover. The arc-* bootstrap/reinstall/reset workflows correctly stay on ubuntu-latest so the runner can always be repaired from hosted minutes — keep them there. (Also note: because I can't edit claude.yml, this run is still on ubuntu-latest; the self-hosted verification below only holds after you apply the diff.)

#3 — Backlog triage (deduped into #236)

#	Disposition
#235 DinD + warm tool-cache	✅ closed — superseded by #236
#233 does runner support DinD/builds?	✅ closed — answered (buildx yes; compose via image)
#223 compose-v2 on all scale sets	✅ closed — superseded by #236
#230 / #231 docker.sock/compose fail	✅ closed — durable dind fix; revert the ubuntu-latest stopgap after re-register
#234 / #226 fuzesocial pods stuck	✅ closed — verified resolved live (pods Running, scheduling jobs)
#224 kubectl in argocd-register + install runner	⛔ left open — runner install DONE; the kubectl step is a .github/workflows/ edit I can't make

Verification status

• ✅ DinD is now in the code path all consumer scale sets use; live cluster confirmed the old pods lacked the sidecar (the bug) — re-register applies it.
• ⏳ docker compose job success requires the runners/arc/Dockerfile image published + wired in (can't do from here — needs a build workflow / GHCR publish).
• ⏳ "@claude handled by self-hosted, not ubuntu-latest" requires the claude.yml diff above (App can't edit workflows).

BLOCKED: merge-ready DinD fix + Dockerfile pushed and backlog cleared, but full go-live is blocked on maintainer actions I lack permission for — (1) apply the 3 runs-on: staging workflow diffs, (2) publish runners/arc/Dockerfile to GHCR (public) and set RUNNER_IMAGE, (3) re-register the scale sets. MendysRobotics can move image-build gates (buildx) to self-hosted now after re-register; compose gates after step 2.

@claude working on: CI → self-hosted migration + DinD + backlog triage

Findings (the situation had already moved since the issue was filed):

• Most infra workflows are already on the staging self-hosted scale set (helm-validate, deploy-prod, harden-gate, cluster-query, nightly-integration, argocd-register, …). The remaining ubuntu-latest jobs are a smaller set (incl. claude.yml, infrastructure-tests.yml, terraform-plan-apply.yml).
• containerMode: type: dind is already declared in runners/arc/runner-scale-set-values.yaml.
• Root cause of the compose/build failures is confirmed: the stock ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner:latest image ships the Docker CLI but no docker-compose and no buildx plugin → unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -f. DinD alone does not fix this.

Plan / progress:

• Gather context (ARC scale-set config, workflow runners, backlog issues)
• Build & push a custom ARC runner image (compose + buildx plugins, warm tool-cache) → GHCR
• Point scale-set values at the custom image; drop the leftover debug wrapper; raise build headroom
• Provide the runs-on workflow migration (I cannot commit .github/workflows/** — will supply exact diffs)
• Triage & dedupe the stranded backlog (feat(arc-runner): install Docker Compose V2 plugin on fuzesocial (and all) runner scale sets #223/fix: gate-localup and Infrastructure Tests fail on ARC runners — docker compose not available #230/fix: gate-localup and infrastructure-tests fail on ARC pods — move docker jobs to ubuntu-latest #231/Does the shared ARC runner now support Docker-in-Docker / image builds? (MendysRobotics CI) #233/@claude ARC self-hosted runners need docker-compose/DinD + warm tool-cache (re #233) #235)
• Open PR + reply DONE/BLOCKED

The Claude GitHub App cannot write to .github/workflows/**, so the runs-on changes (task 1) will be delivered as ready-to-apply diffs; the runner-image + values + docs (task 2) land as committed files in the PR.
