 Notes that are easy to get wrong:
 
+- **The act-runner of the gitea instance only supports actions up to `node20`.** Anything newer fails with `The runs.using key in action.yml must be one of: [...], got node24`, which is why the Flutter sdk is unpacked from the official archive instead of through `subosito/flutter-action` (that one caches through `actions/cache@v5`). Check the `runs.using` of an action before adding it.
 - The Flutter version is pinned in three places (`FLUTTER_VERSION` in both build workflows, `ARG FLUTTER_VERSION` in `ac_web/Dockerfile`) and must be kept in sync.
 - Steps run with `working-directory: ac_web`, but `upload-artifact` paths are relative to the repository root.
 - The workflows are read from the tag the release points at, so they have to be committed **before** the release is created.
