Vitest runs test files in parallel workers. Each worker imports server/db.js,
which triggered module-level init(DEFAULT_PATH) unconditionally. Two workers
racing to open the same SQLite file caused "database is locked", followed
by process.exit(1) killing the worker — surfacing as:
Error: process.exit unexpectedly called with "1"
Fix: guard the boot init block behind NODE_ENV !== 'test'. Vitest sets
NODE_ENV=test automatically. Each worker's beforeEach(() => _resetForTest())
initialises its own :memory: database, so no file coordination is needed.
process.exit(1) is also guarded by the same condition — it must never
fire inside a test runner process.
TDD: two regression tests added to tests/db.test.js documenting the
expected boot behaviour and proving the module loads cleanly in parallel.

Root cause of the 500 on create/update/delete: the non-root app user in
the Docker container lacked write permission to the volume mount point.
Docker volume mounts are owned by root by default; the app user (added
in a previous commit) could read the database but not write to it.
Fixes:
1. Dockerfile — RUN mkdir -p /app/data before chown so the directory
exists in the image with correct ownership. Docker uses this as a
seed when initialising a new named volume, ensuring the app user
owns the mount point from the start.
NOTE: existing volumes from before the non-root user was introduced
will still be root-owned. Fix with:
docker run --rm -v catalyst-data:/data alpine chown -R 1000:1000 /data
2. server/routes.js — replace bare `throw e` in POST/PUT catch blocks
with console.error (route context + error) + explicit 500 response.
Add try-catch to DELETE handler which previously had none. Unexpected
DB errors now log the route they came from and return a clean JSON
body instead of relying on the generic Express error handler.
3. server/db.js — wrap the boot init() call in try-catch. Fatal startup
errors (e.g. data directory not writable) now print a clear message
pointing to the cause before exiting, instead of a raw stack trace.
TDD: tests written first (RED), then fixed (GREEN). Six new tests in
tests/api.test.js verify that unexpected DB errors on POST, PUT, and
DELETE return 500 with { error: 'internal server error' } and call
console.error with the route context string.

Adds a build-dev job to ci.yml that fires after tests pass on direct
pushes to dev (not PRs). Pushes two tags to the registry:
:dev — mutable, always the latest integrated dev state
:dev-<sha> — immutable, for tracing exactly which commit is running
Staging servers can pull :dev to test before a release PR is opened.

Merges the initial ci.yml + release.yml workflow changes onto dev.
This is the first merge under the new feature-branch → dev → main model.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Splits the single workflow into two with distinct responsibilities:
ci.yml — runs tests on push/PR to dev and main. Powers the required
status check for branch protection on both branches.
release.yml — triggers on push to main (merged PR). Reads version from
package.json, asserts the tag doesn't already exist, creates
the git tag, generates patch notes from commits since the
previous tag, builds and pushes the Docker image, and creates
the Gitea release. No more manual git tag or git push --tags.
build.yml deleted — all three of its jobs are covered by the new files.

Three root causes addressed:
1. Added <base href="/"> to index.html so all relative asset paths
(css/app.css, js/*.js) resolve from the root regardless of the
current SPA route. Without this, /instance/117 requested
/instance/css/app.css, which hit the SPA fallback and returned
HTML; helmet's nosniff then refused it as a stylesheet.
2. Removed upgrade-insecure-requests from the CSP (useDefaults: false).
This directive told browsers to upgrade HTTP→HTTPS for every asset
request, breaking all resource loading on HTTP-only deployments.
3. Changed script-src-attr from 'none' to 'unsafe-inline' to allow
the inline onclick handlers used throughout the UI.

Dockerfile — creates a non-root app user and runs the process under it
server/routes.js — tailscale_ip validated against IPv4 regex (empty string still allowed)
index.html — sql.js CDN script tag already removed earlier in this session
