wtclaude ec468e9983 docs(ci): use the actual case-sensitive SonarQube project keys
link and Android-app reuse the pre-existing capitalised keys
(Runic-Gateway-link, Runic-Gateway-Android-app); the server rejects
case-variant duplicates. Note the case-sensitivity gotcha.

# SonarQube static analysis
Each code repo in the Runic Gateway org reports static-analysis results to the
self-hosted **SonarQube** server for review. Analysis is **non-blocking**: it
runs on push to `main` (i.e. *after* merge), never on pull requests, so it never
gates a PR. It complements each repo's PR gate and release pipeline — it only
feeds the dashboard.
## Server
- **URL:** `https://sonar.whitlocktech.com`
- Each repo is a separate SonarQube project, keyed as below.
## Projects
| Repo | Project key | Sources analysed | Language |
|---|---|---|---|
| `website` | `runic-gateway-website` | `server/src`, `client/src`, `bot/src` | JS/TS |
| `link` | `Runic-Gateway-link` | `sidecar/src` | Rust |
| `Android-app` | `Runic-Gateway-Android-app` | `app/src/main` | Kotlin |
> Project keys are **case-sensitive** and must match what already exists on the
> server — SonarQube refuses to create a key that differs only in case from an
> existing one. `link` and `Android-app` reuse the pre-existing capitalised keys
> above; `website` predates this note with its lower-case key.
## How it's wired
Each repo carries two files, identical in shape across repos:
- **`sonar-project.properties`** (repo root) — declares the project key, sources,
tests, and exclusions. The Sonar scanner reads this.
- **`.gitea/workflows/sonarqube.yml`** — a `SonarQube` workflow that, on push to
`main` (and via manual `workflow_dispatch`), checks out with full history
(`fetch-depth: 0`, needed for accurate blame + "new code") and runs
`sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@v4`.
The scan is **source-based** — it does not build the project or run a language
toolchain, so the workflows are lightweight (checkout + scan only). Richer
signals (Rust Clippy, Android Lint, JaCoCo coverage) are left as documented,
commented-out enrichment in each repo's `sonar-project.properties`; enable them
per repo when wanted.
## One-time setup per repo (Gitea UI → Repo → Settings → Actions)
Both are consumed by the scan action via `env:` in the workflow:
- **Secret `SONAR_TOKEN`** — a SonarQube *Analysis* token (My Account →
Security in SonarQube; project-scoped or global).
- **Variable `SONAR_HOST_URL`** — the SonarQube base URL reachable from the
self-hosted runner. Kept as a **variable, not committed**, so the internal
address stays out of git.
The self-hosted `ubuntu-latest` runner must be able to reach `SONAR_HOST_URL` on
the network. Nothing waits on the SonarQube Quality Gate, so a failing gate does
not fail the job — check the dashboard.
## Adding a new repo
1. Create the project in SonarQube; note its key.
2. Add `sonar-project.properties` (copy an existing repo's, adjust key + sources).
3. Add `.gitea/workflows/sonarqube.yml` (copy verbatim — it's language-agnostic).
4. Set the `SONAR_TOKEN` secret and `SONAR_HOST_URL` variable in the repo's
Gitea Actions settings.
