-- runs a matrix build on `ubuntu-22.04`, `macos-latest`, and `windows-latest`
+- runs a matrix build on **self-hosted gitea runners** for linux, macos, and windows
+- uses runner label sets:
+  - linux: `self-hosted`, `linux`, `x64`
+  - macos: `self-hosted`, `macos`
+  - windows: `self-hosted`, `windows`, `x64`
 - installs bun + rust, then runs platform-specific packaging scripts from `app/package.json`

+- archives bundles from `app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/` into:

+- always keeps a fallback copy in runner workspace at `ci-artifacts/` (printed in logs), so artifacts can still be collected when artifact-service compatibility differs across gitea setups

+- runners are provisioned and registered in gitea with the labels listed above
+- linux runners either provide tauri system deps already, or support `apt-get` installation during the workflow
+- macos/windows signing and notarization are not configured in this workflow; output installers are unsigned unless runner-side signing is added
