Waters ChurchandClaude Opus 5 76e74dc0fa Rebuild both apps automatically when something they bundle changes
The web app has deployed on push since earlier today, but the phone apps carry
their own frozen copy of the UI, so a change to server/public silently left them
behind until someone remembered to cut a release. Remembering was the weak part.

A second Actions runner now runs on the ingest Mac — in host mode, because an app
build needs Xcode, the Android SDK and the signing keys, none of which exist in
the NAS runner's Linux container. A push touching server/public, mobile/src or
the Capacitor config rebuilds and signs both apps, then emails to say the shipped
apps are behind, or that the build broke.

It deliberately stops before uploading. An upload needs a build number that has
never been used, Play refuses to reuse or lower a versionCode, and bumping it
means committing the new number back from the build machine on every run. That
needs write access from that machine and permanently changes the numbering
scheme — a one-way door, so shipping stays an explicit ./release.sh.

release.config.json is excluded from the trigger paths so that bumping a build
number by hand cannot set off a rebuild of what was just built.

# Push something the apps bundle -> the ingest Mac builds both apps and emails you.
#
# WHY THIS STOPS SHORT OF UPLOADING
# Uploading needs a build number that has never been used before, and Play will never
# accept a versionCode twice or accept one that goes down. Bumping it means committing
# the new number back to this repo on every build, which needs write access from the
# build machine and permanently changes how the apps are numbered. That is a one-way
# door, so it is left as a deliberate command: ./release.sh --ios --android
#
# What this does remove is having to REMEMBER. A change that the apps bundle no longer
# sits unnoticed: it gets built immediately, you find out straight away if it no longer
# compiles, and you get an email saying the shipped apps are now behind the website.
#
# WHY THE INGEST MAC AND NOT THE NAS
# An app build needs Xcode, the Android SDK and the signing keys. The NAS runner is
# Linux in a container and has none of them. This job runs in HOST mode (label
# "macos:host") directly on the ingest Mac, which has all three.
