atlas 9d816431dc fix(#981): validate runner credentials on every boot, purge stale .runner
hive-ci-register.service now runs unconditionally on every boot (not
just when .runner is absent). Before fetching a registration token it
validates existing .runner credentials via the forge admin API:
- 200: runner still registered, write dummy token and exit
- 404: runner deleted from forge, purge .runner and re-register
- 000: forge unreachable, keep credentials (runner surfaces the error)
- other non-200 or malformed .runner: purge and re-register

Removes ConditionPathExists so stale credentials from a wiped forge
no longer block the runner indefinitely. Updates docs/ci.md to match.

# The nixpkgs gitea-actions-runner module uses tokenFile as a systemd
# EnvironmentFile (sets TOKEN= in the environment). EnvironmentFile is
# loaded before any ExecStartPre, so the file MUST exist at service start —
# an ExecStartPre override is too late. We solve this with:
# 1. tmpfiles: pre-create /run/hive-ci/runner-token with TOKEN=placeholder
# 2. hive-ci-register.service (this script): runs on every boot:
# a. If .runner exists: validate the runner ID against the forge admin
# API. If the runner was deleted from forge (404), delete .runner so
# the next step re-registers. If forge is unreachable (000), keep
# the existing credentials (the runner itself will surface the error).
# If valid, write a dummy token and exit — runner reuses .runner creds.
# b. If .runner absent (first boot or stale creds were purged): fetch a
# fresh registration token and write TOKEN=<real> to the EnvironmentFile.
# 3. gitea-runner-hive.service: After=hive-ci-register.service

# Auto-registration: on every boot a oneshot service validates existing
# runner credentials against forge (purging stale/.runner if the runner

# fetches a fresh registration token via the forge admin API, using the
# core token hive-c0re writes to /var/lib/hyperhive/forge-core-token.
# No manual token handling needed — `forge.ci.enable = true` is the
# full operator bootstrap.

# Nix builds inside the container use the shared /nix/store (standard
# nixos-container behaviour) with sandbox-fallback = true, because
# nspawn containers can't create the user-namespaces that nix sandboxing
