+# Quick Task 260611-ozt: Split publish job into standalone Gitea workflow
+
+Split the `publish` job out of `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` into a new standalone `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`. Mechanical refactor — no CI behavior change beyond the split.
+
+## What Changed
+
+### .gitea/workflows/publish.yml (created)
+
+New standalone push-only workflow:
+- `name: Publish`, `on: push: branches: [main]` only
+- Workflow-level `MILESTONE: v1.1` env (moved from ci.yml)
+- Single `publish` job with all four steps verbatim from ci.yml: checkout, compute image tags, docker login, build+push, docker logout
+- All inline comments preserved including load-bearing rationale (Pitfall 13 PAT-via-stdin, D-PAT-NAMING REGISTRY_PAT naming, T-08-10 build-from-repo-root, D-04 two-tag scheme)
+- Header comment block documenting trigger, tags, REGISTRY_PAT requirement, safety gate, and MILESTONE bump instruction
+- Dropped the redundant `if: github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'` guard — push-to-main trigger is sufficient
+
+### .gitea/workflows/ci.yml (modified)
+
+- Removed `publish:` job (was lines 314-362)
+- Removed `push: branches: [main]` trigger — now `pull_request` only
+- Removed workflow-level `env: MILESTONE: v1.1` block (was only referenced by the publish job)
+- `name: CI` unchanged
+- Job ids `fast-checks`, `api`, `harness` unchanged
+- `if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'` guards on all three jobs unchanged
+
+### README.md (modified)
+
+Added "Publishing / Releases" section between "Deployment" and "License" covering:
+- Auto-trigger on push to main (PR merge)
+- Image name and two-tag scheme (:latest + :<MILESTONE>-<shortsha>)
+- REGISTRY_PAT secret requirement and naming rationale
+- Branch-protection safety gate (why no needs: in publish.yml)
+- How to bump the MILESTONE tag
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+`ci.yml`'s `on:` previously included `push:` so Gitea registered a `CI / publish (pull_request)` commit status on every PR that sat pending forever — skipped jobs never resolve their status in Gitea Actions. Moving publish to a push-only `publish.yml` stops this orphaned status from ever being created, keeping PR status views clean and the branch-protection required-checks list unambiguous.

+
+## YAML Verification
+
+Both workflow files validated with `docker run --rm -i mikefarah/yq:4 e '.' -`:
+- `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`: **VALID**
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`: **VALID**
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None — plan executed exactly as written. The header comment block in publish.yml was created in Task 1 (the plan referenced it as "see Task 2" but it is part of the publish.yml file created in Task 1; both tasks committed separately as planned).
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml` exists with `name: Publish`, `push:` trigger, `REGISTRY_PAT`, `MILESTONE: v1.1`, no redundant guard
+- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` has no `publish:` job, no `push:` trigger, no `MILESTONE`, retains `name: CI` and three PR job ids
+- `README.md` has Publishing/Releases section with all six required elements
+- Commits 6efc062 and 0c9139b confirmed in git log
+- Both YAML files parse clean under yq:4
