-- **Base images**: Uses pinned Alpine and git-cliff images with SHA256 digests for reproducibility
+- **Runner**: Uses `ubuntu-latest` runner directly (no containers)
+- **git-cliff**: Downloaded as binary from GitHub releases, version controlled via `GIT_CLIFF_VERSION` env var

 - Workflows use Gitea API directly via curl (not gh CLI)
 - Authentication reads from file-based token at `/runner-secrets/release-token`
