+# Build the app + bot container images, publish them to Gitea's container
+# registry, then roll the production stack onto the fresh images — all on every
+# merge to main. Production only ever pulls prebuilt images; it never builds.
+#
+# Two jobs run in sequence:
+#   build   — builds & pushes website-app / website-bot images (on ubuntu-latest)
+#   deploy  — `needs: build`, so it starts only after a clean build+push, and
+#             pulls + recreates the stack on the production host (on uom_deploy)
 #
 # Prerequisites (one-time):
 #   • An always-on Gitea runner with label `ubuntu-latest` whose jobs have the
 #     host Docker socket mounted (/var/run/docker.sock), so `docker build` talks
 #     to the host daemon. This also gives free layer caching between runs.
+#   • A second self-hosted runner labelled `uom_deploy` ON the production host,
+#     with access to the Docker daemon and to /home/perry/website (the directory
+#     holding the production docker-compose.yml + .env). This is what actually
+#     rolls the stack; it must be able to `docker compose pull` from the registry
+#     (log in once on the host, or ensure the images are public-read).
 #   • Two repo secrets (Settings → Actions → Secrets):
 #       REGISTRY_USER  — the Gitea username that owns the token below
 #       REGISTRY_TOKEN — a Gitea access token with `write:package` (+ read:package)
