Provision Docker git auth for private remote build contexts on fresh hosts

Owner

The always-on agent-proxy role currently avoids Docker remote Git build contexts by switching to a local checkout/build shape. That unblocks fresh hosts, but the operator preference is to keep the remote Git build-context flow and fix the underlying authentication path instead.

Wanted outcome:

ansible configures whatever Docker/BuildKit auth is required so a fresh host can successfully docker build from the private Forgejo Git URL used as the build context
the solution must work non-interactively on fresh hosts, not assume a pre-warmed manual credential helper state
keep the role compatible with the existing always-on service shape

Acceptance:

a fresh host can converge the role and build the image from the private remote Git context without the auth failure that originally drove the local-clone workaround
the credential path is documented clearly enough to debug and rotate
secrets stay out of tracked files

Constraints:

prefer a real Docker/BuildKit auth fix over abandoning remote Git contexts
use the repo's existing secret/runtime conventions rather than inventing ad hoc tracked config

Context:

this is a follow-up to the local-build workaround direction discussed around infrastructure#426
the operator explicitly prefers fixing Docker Git auth instead of cloning locally and building from a stable host checkout

🔒 Reserved by ward agent --driver goose — container engineer-goose-infrastructure-427 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local is carrying this issue (reserved 2026-07-02T06:23:49Z). Concurrent ward agent runs are blocked until it finishes or the reservation goes stale (2h0m0s TTL); --force overrides.
