jared 9617b86a26 ci: mirror canonical tag objects, not the lightweight refs checkout builds
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 3m45s
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m29s
v0.4.0 failed to mirror, and it would have failed at every future release.

On a tag-triggered run, checkout materializes refs/tags/<tag> as a LIGHTWEIGHT
tag at the commit SHA; the annotated tag object Gitea holds is never fetched.
Run 2070 therefore pushed a lightweight v0.4.0 to GitHub and reported success.
Run 2076, on main with fetch-depth 0, did fetch the real annotated object and
was rejected with "already exists" trying to correct it -- git will not clobber
an existing tag. Gitea had e138eeb (annotated), GitHub had d2caa6d (the commit).

Re-fetch canonical tag objects from Gitea before pushing. --force rewrites LOCAL
tag refs only; it is not a force push and does not weaken the non-force
guarantee on main. It is required: without it the fetch is rejected with "would
clobber existing tag" and the lightweight ref survives to be mirrored again.

Verified against a scratch clone -- lightweight d2caa6d becomes annotated
e138eeb, peeling back to the same commit; without --force the tag is unchanged.

The GitHub tag was repaired by hand out of band, so the two remotes already
agree; this stops it recurring.

jared 28c500f47a ci: mirror main and tags to the GitHub mirror
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m23s
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 4m2s
A plain non-force git push rather than Gitea's built-in push mirror. A
push mirror force-updates the refs it owns, so a Merge clicked on a GitHub
PR would be silently overwritten on the next sync -- the PR still reading
'Merged' while its commit became unreachable. A non-force push is rejected
instead, which turns that into a red CI run.

Secret is PAT_GH, not GITHUB_MIRROR_PAT: Gitea reserves the GITHUB_ and
GITEA_ prefixes for its own injected variables and refuses secrets using
them.

jared 342debaefa ci: fetch apt indexes over HTTPS so the install step stops hanging
R-CMD-check / check (push) Has been cancelled
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Has been cancelled
The "Install system libraries" step was stalling indefinitely. It was not
deadlocked on a config prompt and not slow-but-progressing: measured inside the
live runner container, /var/cache/apt/archives stayed at 0 .deb files after 3+
minutes, with apt's http workers parked in S state waiting on the network.

Root cause is the http:// mirror path being pathologically slow from this
runner, not broken. Measured 2026-08-04 from inside the CI container, same
index file, back to back:

  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/Release   20.1s
  https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/Release    3.1s

apt fetches many indexes serially, so ~20s apiece compounds into what looks
like a hang. Rewriting the deb822 sources to https makes the step complete.

Verified before committing, in the running CI container (rocker/r-ver:4.4):
- ca-certificates present and apt 2.8.3 ships the https method built in, so
  nothing has to be installed over http first to bootstrap TLS
- the sed rewrites both URIs (archive + security); the only remaining http://
  is an inert comment line
- '#' is used as the sed delimiter deliberately: '|' collides with the
  alternation and fails with "unknown option to `s'"
- the regex survives YAML block-scalar parsing with backslashes intact

`|| true` guards each sed because the step runs under `sh -e`, so a
missing-sources-file on some other base image must not kill the job.
