myasnikovdaniil 7dca642894 fix(ci): restore e2e for fork PRs and close the merge-gate bypass (#3262)
## What this PR does

Fixes #3257 — fork PRs never ran e2e, and the skipped required check let
them merge anyway.

Fork PRs get no secrets on `pull_request`, so `make image` pushed
anonymously and died with `denied`. That failed every build, collapsed
the `build → finalize → e2e` chain, and left the required **E2E Tests**
job *skipped* — which branch protection treats as satisfied, so an
approved fork PR could merge with e2e never having run.

This implements **Option A** from the issue (privileged `workflow_run`
split), pushing fork e2e images to the existing CI registry (OCIR):

**Build primitive (`hack/common-envs.mk`)**
- New `OCI_EXPORT_DIR` mode: build each image to a per-image OCI archive
instead of pushing, and force `PUSH`/`LOAD` off. The digest is captured
via `--metadata-file` regardless of output type, so the refs baked into
`pr.patch` match what the privileged run later pushes. Threaded through
the `image-tags` macro every package already uses — no per-package
Makefile change.

**`pull-requests.yaml` (unprivileged, fork branch)**
- `build` / `build-talos` / `finalize` export images to OCI archives and
upload them as artifacts instead of pushing → the red `denied` build
wall disappears and the chain no longer collapses.
- The in-tree e2e job is renamed off `"E2E Tests"` and guarded to
same-repo PRs. A new `e2e-report` job concludes the required `"E2E
Tests"` context as an **explicit check-run** (success on a docs-only PR
or when e2e passed, failure otherwise). A skipped job can no longer
satisfy the required check — this also closes the same hole for
same-repo PRs whose build fails.

**`e2e-fork.yaml` (new, privileged `workflow_run` from the default
branch)**
- Resolves the fork PR, opens a pending `"E2E Tests"` check-run, and
fails-closed if the fork build failed.
- Pushes the pre-built image archives to OCIR **by digest** and
flux-pushes the digest-pinned packages tree. The OCIR token is live only
for trusted binaries (`git`/`skopeo`/`flux`/`yq`) over data — never for
`make` or any fork-authored script.
- Runs the e2e suite against the pushed closure with **no push token**
and concludes the check-run on the PR head SHA.

Fork build code never receives registry credentials; the fork's images
and test scripts run only in the credential-less, ephemeral e2e job — a
stronger posture than a `pull_request_target` run that would hand fork
code the secrets directly.

### Validation

Local: buildx OCI-archive output + digest capture, macro expansion for
single- and multi-image packages, non-fork push path unchanged,
`actionlint` clean.

Needs live validation (why this is a **draft**): `workflow_run` artifact
download across runs; that the `"E2E Tests"` commit status satisfies the
required context and keeps a fork PR non-mergeable until the privileged
run concludes it; `refs/pull/<N>/merge` fetch + `git apply --3way`;
`skopeo --preserve-digests` end-to-end. `workflow_run` only runs from
the default branch, so the privileged half is exercised by mirroring the
workflow onto a personal fork's default branch and opening a throwaway
fork PR into it — not by merging first.

_Since review_: the fork `e2e` job ran the pre-#2826 BATS app loop that
the merged Chainsaw migration deleted (already broken); it now runs the
same Chainsaw + TIA path as the in-tree job, with suite selection and
the `full-e2e` override sourced from `resolve`'s trusted base-repo file
list / labels (not a merge-ref diff). Publish job hardened per the
non-blocking follow-ups: base-tree image allowlist, `skopeo copy --all`,
pinned flux CLI. The required `E2E Tests` gate is now published as a
commit **status** (default token + `statuses:write`), not a COZYSTACK_CI
app check-run — the app lacked `checks:write` (`checks.create` 403'd)
and a default-token check-run floated under a labeler suite; a commit
status has neither problem, and forks can't post one (their
`pull_request` token is read-only). Two review-bot findings fixed too:
fork `OCI_EXPORT_DIR` is now absolute (a relative path misplaced
archives under `make -C <pkg>` and every fork build would fail at
upload), and the "≥1 archive" guard no longer no-ops under `nullglob`.

### Repo-admin prerequisites

One repository setting lives outside this diff:

1. **Branch protection: keep `E2E Tests` required.** The gate is now a
commit **status** named `E2E Tests` (posted with the default
`GITHUB_TOKEN` — see `docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` §10), not a job or an
app check-run. Branch protection already requires `E2E Tests` (currently
the e2e job's name, renamed here to `E2E (in-tree)`), so the required
context now resolves to the status — **no GitHub App, no `checks:write`
grant, no app-id pin needed**. Just don't pin the context to a specific
app.
2. **Actions → "Require approval for all outside collaborators".** Each
fork run must be a deliberate maintainer click before it executes, since
the fork's unprivileged run produces the artifacts the privileged
`e2e-fork.yaml` consumes.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map in `docs/agents/contributing.md` against the diff
(7 files: two CI workflows, `docs/agents/e2e-testing.md`,
`hack/common-envs.mk` + its bats suite, and two package `Makefile`s).

The one trigger worth naming is "change developer tooling
(`cozyvalues-gen`, `cozypkg`, the package `Makefile`s) →
`development.md`" on the website. It does not fire here:
`OCI_EXPORT_DIR` is a CI-only build mode that defaults off, and the
local developer workflow is unchanged — `make image` still builds and
pushes exactly as before, which the new default-path case in
`hack/common-envs_test.bats` now pins. No chart values, no API surface,
no app list, no platform variant, no Talos version bump and no release
asset rename are touched.

- [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change

### Release note

```release-note
fix(ci): fork pull requests now run e2e via a privileged workflow, and a fork PR can no longer merge on a skipped (never-run) required E2E Tests check
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added a dedicated fork E2E workflow that runs after the base PR and
reports results via the required **E2E Tests** commit status.
- Fork PRs now export build images as OCI archive artifacts for later
publishing.
- Added a same-repo E2E reporting job and renamed the in-tree E2E flow
to **E2E (in-tree)**.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Added tighter, fail-closed gating to ensure merge blocking when **E2E
Tests** isn’t correctly finalized.
- **Documentation**
- Documented fork vs same-repo E2E split, OCI export behavior, and
required fork security settings.
- **Tests**
- Added Bats coverage validating `OCI_EXPORT_DIR` and preventing
unintended registry pushes.
