 # push and PR. No deploy pipeline — sherlock is operator-installed via
 # `go install`, not host-deployed.
 #
+# Why no actions/checkout + actions/setup-go:
+#   act_runner re-clones every third-party JS action from github.com per
+#   job. setup-go is large and that clone routinely hangs / times out on
+#   the homelab runner. We avoid the failure mode entirely by doing the
+#   checkout with plain git and downloading Go directly from go.dev.
+#   /usr/local/go persists across jobs in the host-executor runner
+#   container, so subsequent runs are no-ops.
+#
 # Runner notes:
-#   - The Charlie runner image (gitea/act_runner + git/sops/docker-cli/bash)
-#     does NOT ship a Go toolchain. setup-go installs one at job time.
+#   - Charlie runner image: gitea/act_runner + git/sops/docker-cli/bash/sudo
+#     (alpine-based). No Go preinstalled — installed lazily below.
 #   - runs-on: self-hosted picks any Charlie runner. No SSH-into-host
-#     gymnastics required because there's no docker build / no host state
-#     to mutate; everything runs inside the runner container.
