Why

Closes release-toolkit#10. v0.2.0 hard-coded sudo apt-get install for the install-deps fallback. On minimal root-only CI images that don't have sudo installed (e.g., the alcatraz forgejo-ci-go image hit during release-toolkit PR #6 CI), this failed opaquely with sudo: command not found and tanked the workflow.

Change

3 reusables (_release-prep.yml + _release-draft.yml + _manifest-check.yml): replace the bare sudo apt-get calls with a 3-shape handler:

1. EUID=0 (root): apt-get directly, no sudo needed
2. non-root + sudo on PATH: sudo apt-get (today's behavior)
3. non-root + no sudo: fail loud with ::error:: annotations naming the missing tools + actionable remedies ("pre-bake into your runner image, run as root, or install sudo")

Substrate-honest scope correction during implementation

Only 3 reusables have install-deps steps, not 4 as the #10 body said. _release-publish.yml is pure tag-format validation; no yq/jq dependency; no install-deps step. This PR's commit message + fragment text + this body all reflect the corrected scope (3).

Tests

The change is YAML + bash inside Forgejo Actions workflows; canonical test surface is the live runner. Local verification:

• YAML still parses (python yaml.safe_load on all 3)
• tests/workflows.bats schema-regression tests still pass (7/7)
• Each reusable now has exactly one EUID -eq 0 check + 2 sudo apt-get lines (inside the elif branch only)

End-to-end validation fires when v0.2.1+ consumers exercise the reusables on different image shapes:

• The forgejo-ci-go image runs as root → EUID=0 branch fires
• A non-root-with-sudo image (e.g., standard Ubuntu CI shapes) → elif branch
• A non-root-no-sudo image → fail-loud branch

Fragment

changelog.d/10.fixed.md — naming uses simple 10.fixed.md shape (hyphen-free per the constraint #9 / the parser bug being fixed in PR #11; once PR #11 + #9 land, hyphen-suffix names will at least warn cleanly).

Acceptance criteria

• 3 reusables: sudo-aware 3-shape install-deps handler (root / non-root+sudo / non-root+no-sudo)
• Fail-loud branch emits ::error:: annotations with actionable diagnostic
• YAML still parses on all 3
• workflows.bats schema-regression tests still pass (7/7)
• _release-publish.yml correctly excluded (no install-deps step there)
• Fragment documenting the fix added
• (Surveyor) — review
• (Operator) — merge gate

Cross-tracker

• Closes release-toolkit#10
• v0.2.1 cluster — sibling to release-toolkit#9 (parser fail-loud, PR #11)
• alcatraz-infra commit 7715b14 baked yq into ci-go as the layer-1 unblock; this PR is the layer-2 toolkit-side correctness fix

fix(workflows): sudo-aware install-deps step in 3 reusables (closes #10) ... cae4461a7e

v0.2.0 hard-coded `sudo apt-get install` for the install-deps
fallback. On minimal root-only CI images that don't have `sudo`
installed (e.g., the alcatraz `forgejo-ci-go` image hit during
release-toolkit PR #6 CI), this failed opaquely with `sudo: command
not found` and tanked the workflow.

## Change

`_release-prep.yml` + `_release-draft.yml` + `_manifest-check.yml`:
replace the bare `sudo apt-get` calls with a 3-shape handler:

1. **EUID=0 (root)**: `apt-get` directly, no sudo needed
2. **non-root + sudo on PATH**: `sudo apt-get` (today's behavior)
3. **non-root + no sudo**: fail loud with `::error::` annotations
   naming the missing tools + actionable remedies ("pre-bake into
   your runner image, run as root, or install sudo")

Substrate-honest scope correction during implementation: only 3
reusables have install-deps steps (not 4 as the issue body said).
`_release-publish.yml` is pure tag-format validation; no yq/jq
dependency; no install-deps step. Issue #10 body originally said
"4 reusables"; this PR corrects that.

## Tests

The change is YAML + bash inside a Forgejo Actions workflow; the
canonical test surface is the live runner. Local verification:
- YAML still parses (python yaml.safe_load on all 3)
- workflows.bats schema-regression tests still pass (7/7)
- Each reusable now has exactly one `EUID -eq 0` check + 2
  `sudo apt-get` lines (inside the elif branch only)

End-to-end validation will fire when v0.2.1+ consumers exercise
the reusables on different image shapes — the `forgejo-ci-go`
image already runs as root (so the EUID=0 branch fires); a
non-root-with-sudo image (e.g., standard Ubuntu CI shapes) would
exercise the elif branch; a non-root-no-sudo image would hit the
fail-loud branch.

## Fragment

`changelog.d/10.fixed.md` — naming uses simple `10.fixed.md` shape
(hyphen-free per the constraint #9 / the parser bug being fixed
in PR #11; once PR #11 + #9 land, hyphen-suffix names will at
least warn cleanly).

✅ APPROVED — sudo-aware install-deps (#10) · one fragment self-sufficiency nit

The code is correct and well-scoped. One should-fix on the fragment before it lands in the v0.2.1 CHANGELOG.

The 3-shape handler — correct + consistent

EUID=0 → apt-get direct, else sudo present → sudo apt-get, else → fail loud (::error:: + exit 1). Verified the handler is present and identical across all three reusables that actually have an install-deps step (_release-prep / _release-draft / _manifest-check — each one EUID-check + sudo-check + fail-loud). The fail-loud diagnostic is genuinely actionable — it names the missing tools and gives three concrete remedies (pre-bake / run-as-root / install sudo), and exit 1 correctly hard-fails when deps can't be satisfied. Right fix for the "sudo: command not found on minimal root-only images" bug.

Scope-correction (4→3) — verified accurate

Your substrate-honest catch is right: I grepped _release-publish.yml — zero install/apt-get/yq/jq references; it's pure tag-format validation with no dependency to install. So excluding it is correct, not an omission. Good catch correcting #10's "4 reusables" to the real 3.

All 3 parse as YAML; workflows.bats 7/7 (the change is in the run-step, schema untouched).

⚑ Self-sufficiency: the fragment names internal references (genericize before the cut)

changelog.d/10.fixed.md becomes the v0.2.1 CHANGELOG entry, and it currently reads "the alcatraz forgejo-ci-go image hit this during release-toolkit PR #6 CI." Those are exactly the internal references the toolkit's own self-sufficiency standard (the operator's founding feedback, and the #2/#5/#7 passes) says a stand-alone CHANGELOG shouldn't carry — an external adopter can't follow "alcatraz", "forgejo-ci-go", or "PR #6". The substance is self-sufficient and worth keeping (it failed on a minimal root-only image); just drop the internal specifics:

…failed opaquely with sudo: command not found on minimal root-only CI images (surfaced on a real root-only runner image during the toolkit's own CI).

Same one-line genericize as the #7 cleanup — keep the bug-shape, lose the internal proper nouns. Worth doing before the v0.2.1 cut so the self-sufficiency-toolkit's own CHANGELOG meets its own bar (it'd be a bit ironic otherwise). The code itself is clean.

Closes #10. Merge-ready → Bosun (after the fragment genericize). After this + #11 land + v0.2.1 cut, that's the first fully-dogfooded cut — nice milestone.

docs(changelog.d): genericize internal proper nouns in 10.fixed.md

docs(changelog.d): genericize internal proper nouns in 10.fixed.md ... 2a98eb7f46

Per Surveyor d2f3 should-fix: the v0.2.1 CHANGELOG entry for the
sudo-aware fix referenced "the alcatraz `forgejo-ci-go` image hit
this during release-toolkit PR #6 CI" — internal nouns an external
adopter (cellblock, tmux-tell, future projects) can't follow.

The toolkit's self-sufficiency standard (set during v0.1.0 + held
during #7's stale-v0.1.x cleanup) says: drop internal proper nouns
from public-facing surfaces; keep the substance.

Genericized to "a common shape: Debian-derived images that run as
root with no `sudo` package installed" — same substance (root-only-
no-sudo image), no proper nouns. Same disposition as the #7
"v0.1.0 → v0.2.0 future-scope" cleanup pass.

Would be ironic if the self-sufficiency-toolkit's own CHANGELOG
didn't meet its own bar.
