fix: use acme-dns sqlite backend

Route deepseek-v4-flash through the opencode zen subscription endpoint
(opencode/deepseek-v4-flash) instead of tinfoil pay-per-use. The zen
subscription is already paid for; flash consumes the balance far more
slowly than glm-5.2 did (flash cost ~$0.0000002/tok vs glm's higher rate),
so a full weekly run is much less likely to exhaust the balance — and
the operator has reset it.

Completes the fleet-wide move: upgrader parent (LOOP_MODEL) + report
(REPORT_MODEL) in upgrader.env, and this PR sets the subagents. Supervisor
stays on opencode-go/glm-5.2.

Verified: zen endpoint serves deepseek-v4-flash (HTTP 200, 1.2s).

+# Plan: restricted ACME DNS renewal for cc-ci
+
+## Outcome
+
+Replace the manually issued, sops-stored wildcard certificate with unattended
+DNS-01 renewal for these exact names:
+
+```text
+ci.commoninternet.net
+*.ci.commoninternet.net
+```
+
+The cc-ci host will run an authoritative `acme-dns` instance only for
+`acme.commoninternet.net`. It will never receive a Gandi credential or any
+credential that can edit the parent `commoninternet.net` zone.
+
+The only enduring delegation from the parent zone is:
+
+```text
+_acme-challenge.ci.commoninternet.net. CNAME <account-id>.acme.commoninternet.net.
+```
+
+That CNAME authorizes the generated acme-dns account to answer ACME TXT
+challenges for the ci wildcard, not to edit any parent-zone DNS record.
+
+## Project facts and constraints
+
+- The target is the production `cc-ci-hetzner` NixOS 26.05 host, not the
+  orchestrator. Its public IPv4 is `91.98.47.73`; it has no public IPv6.
+- The wildcard currently points at the public gateway, which TLS-passthroughs
+  to cc-ci's Traefik. DNS authority for `acme.commoninternet.net` must point
+  directly to `91.98.47.73`; the gateway is not involved in DNS.
+- Nothing listens on TCP or UDP 53 today. The Nix firewall permits 22, 80, and
+  443 only; any Hetzner Cloud firewall must also be checked before deployment.
+- TLS terminates in the Docker Swarm Traefik service. It currently reads
+  `ssl_cert` and `ssl_key` **Swarm secrets** populated from
+  `/var/lib/ci-certs/live/{fullchain.pem,privkey.pem}` by
+  `runner/warm_reconcile.py`. A normal host-service reload cannot install a
+  renewed certificate.
+- The existing certificate is expired: its served validity ended
+  `2026-08-24 18:18:52 UTC`. Keep the current files as rollback material until
+  the new production certificate and Traefik rotation have both been verified.
+- `pkgs.acme-dns` and `pkgs.lego` are available in the pinned nixpkgs. NixOS
+  `security.acme` uses Lego and supports a DNS provider plus an environment
+  file and post-renew hook. Confirm the pinned provider spelling with
+  `lego --help` during implementation; Lego's current documented provider code
+  is `acmedns`.
+
+## Security invariants
+
+1. Do not request, add, store, or use `GANDI_API_KEY`, a Gandi PAT, or any
+   parent-zone update credential on cc-ci or the orchestrator.
+2. Bind the acme-dns HTTP API to `127.0.0.1` only. Its API may use plain HTTP
+   because it is loopback-only; do not create a circular API TLS dependency.
+3. Allow public DNS only on TCP/UDP 53 and only for the authoritative zone.
+4. The generated acme-dns account data is a secret. Keep it as a root/acme-only
+   persistent state file under `/var/lib/acme/`; never put it in Nix text, the
+   Nix store, git, `.env.public`, or a log.
+5. After the account exists, set `disable_registration = true`. The existing
+   account must still be able to call `/update`.
+6. Limit the account's update source with `ACME_DNS_ALLOWLIST=127.0.0.1/32`.
+   This is defence in depth in addition to the loopback API binding.
+
+## Intended DNS design
+
+Use an **out-of-bailiwick** nameserver name to avoid in-bailiwick glue
+ambiguity:
+
+```text
+ns-acme.commoninternet.net.  A   91.98.47.73
+acme.commoninternet.net.     NS  ns-acme.commoninternet.net.
+```
+
+`acme-dns` itself serves the delegated zone and returns its matching NS record:
+
+```text
+acme.commoninternet.net.     NS  ns-acme.commoninternet.net.
+```
+
+This host is authoritative for `acme.commoninternet.net` and its generated
+children only. It is not authoritative for `ci.commoninternet.net` or for
+`commoninternet.net`.
+
+## Implementation phases
+
+### 1. Preflight and safety checks
+
+Before changing Nix configuration, record:
+
+```bash
+ssh cc-ci 'ss -lntup "( sport = :53 )"'
+ssh cc-ci 'systemctl list-units --type=service --all "*acme*" "*dns*"'
+ssh cc-ci 'nft list ruleset'
+ssh cc-ci 'docker service ls'
+```
+
+Confirm that no service owns port 53, that the Traefik Swarm services are
+healthy, and that the Hetzner Cloud firewall will permit both 53/tcp and
+53/udp. Do not replace an existing DNS service.
+
+Obtain the operator's ACME contact email before enabling `security.acme`.
+
+### 2. Add a dedicated acme-dns Nix module
+
+Create `nix/modules/acme-dns.nix` and import it from
+`nix/hosts/cc-ci-hetzner/configuration.nix`. The module should:
+
+- create a dedicated unprivileged `acme-dns` user and group;
+- run `${pkgs.acme-dns}/bin/acme-dns -c <public generated config>` with a
+  persistent working/state directory `/var/lib/acme-dns`;
+- grant only `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` to bind DNS port 53;
+- use SQLite at `/var/lib/acme-dns/acme-dns.db` with mode `0600`;
+- bind DNS to `91.98.47.73:53` with `protocol = "both4"`;
+- set `domain = "acme.commoninternet.net"`,
+  `nsname = "ns-acme.commoninternet.net"`, and a public hostmaster-style
+  `nsadmin` value;
+- include the public NS record above in `general.records`;
+- bind `[api]` to `127.0.0.1:8080`, set `tls = "none"`, use a restrictive
+  CORS list, and initially leave `disable_registration = false`;
+- use a hardened systemd unit: `NoNewPrivileges`, `PrivateTmp`,
+  `ProtectSystem = "strict"`, `ProtectHome`, `PrivateDevices`, and only the
+  state directory as writable; and
+- open `networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 53 ]` and
+  `allowedUDPPorts = [ 53 ]` in the **cc-ci Hetzner host** configuration.
+
+The configuration file is public data and may be generated by Nix. It must not
+contain account credentials.
+
+Deploy this phase with the normal cc-ci deployment discipline: first
+`nixos-rebuild test --flake /etc/cc-ci#cc-ci-hetzner`, verify SSH, Traefik, and
+the host remain healthy, then run the identical `switch` target. Verify local
+DNS on both transports:
+
+```bash
+dig @91.98.47.73 acme.commoninternet.net NS
+dig +tcp @91.98.47.73 acme.commoninternet.net NS
+```
+
+### 3. Operator gate: delegate the narrow DNS zone
+
+After the service is healthy, ask the operator to add exactly these records at
+Gandi (using its DNS UI, never a token on this host):
+
+```dns
+ns-acme.commoninternet.net.  A   91.98.47.73
+acme.commoninternet.net.     NS  ns-acme.commoninternet.net.
+```
+
+If Gandi models delegation as a nameserver/glue form rather than ordinary zone
+records, use its equivalent UI flow. Do not proceed until public recursive DNS
+shows the delegation and direct queries work from an external network:
+
+```bash
+dig NS acme.commoninternet.net @1.1.1.1
+dig TXT test.acme.commoninternet.net @91.98.47.73
+dig +tcp TXT test.acme.commoninternet.net @91.98.47.73
+```
+
+### 4. Configure NixOS ACME in staging mode and obtain the account target
+
+Extend the new module with one `security.acme.certs` entry for the base name
+`ci.commoninternet.net`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  domain = "ci.commoninternet.net";
+  extraDomainNames = [ "*.ci.commoninternet.net" ];
+  dnsProvider = "acmedns"; # verify against the pinned Lego binary
+  environmentFile = "/etc/acme-dns/lego.env";
+  dnsResolver = "1.1.1.1:53";
+}
+```
+
+`/etc/acme-dns/lego.env` contains only non-secret wiring:
+
+```text
+ACME_DNS_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:8080
+ACME_DNS_STORAGE_PATH=/var/lib/acme/ci.commoninternet.net/acme-dns-accounts.json
+ACME_DNS_ALLOWLIST=127.0.0.1/32
+```
+
+Lego registers and persists its per-domain acme-dns account in the storage
+path. The path is writable only by the ACME service user and is not Nix-managed
+content. Do not hand-create its JSON: let the pinned Lego provider establish
+the account format.
+
+Set the ACME CA to Let's Encrypt staging for this phase. Start the certificate
+unit manually after the NS delegation is confirmed. The first staging run is
+expected to create the account and may fail validation because the CNAME is not
+yet present. Read the storage file only with a root-only helper that prints the
+generated **fulldomain** and never its username or password.
+
+### 5. Operator gate: permanent challenge CNAME
+
+Ask the operator to create the exact target reported in phase 4:
+
+```dns
+_acme-challenge.ci.commoninternet.net. CNAME <generated-id>.acme.commoninternet.net.
+```
+
+This is a permanent record. It must not be created, changed, or removed by an
+agent. Confirm the complete chain through a public recursive resolver before
+continuing:
+
+```bash
+dig CNAME _acme-challenge.ci.commoninternet.net @1.1.1.1
+dig TXT <generated-id>.acme.commoninternet.net @91.98.47.73
+dig +tcp TXT <generated-id>.acme.commoninternet.net @91.98.47.73
+```
+
+### 6. Staging issuance, then production issuance
+
+Run the NixOS ACME certificate unit against staging and verify all of the
+following:
+
+1. it updates only the generated acme-dns TXT target;
+2. public recursive DNS sees the CNAME and the TXT value;
+3. staging issues a certificate containing both requested names; and
+4. no Gandi variable, credential file, or API request appears in the unit.
+
+Only then select the production Let's Encrypt directory and issue the real
+certificate. Keep the old sops certificate live during both attempts.
+
+### 7. Make Traefik consume renewals safely
+
+Do **not** use only `reloadServices`: Traefik receives Docker Swarm secrets and
+cannot see an updated host file. Add a root-only renewal handoff service,
+serialized with all other Traefik reconciliation, and call it from the ACME
+certificate's `postRun` hook.
+
+The handoff must:
+
+1. atomically copy the new `fullchain.pem` and key from the NixOS ACME output
+   into `/var/lib/ci-certs/live`, with the existing `0444`/`0400` modes;
+2. generate a new, content-derived **non-secret** Swarm secret version;
+3. insert new `ssl_cert` and `ssl_key` Swarm secrets, update the Traefik recipe
+   environment to reference those versions, and reconcile/redeploy Traefik;
+4. health-check `https://traefik.ci.commoninternet.net/api/version` with SNI;
+5. retain the prior secret version until the new task is healthy, then remove
+   it; and
+6. record a failure clearly without deleting the last-known-good certificate.
+
+Implement this as a tested extension of `runner/warm_reconcile.py` (or a
+small, explicitly locked companion) rather than an ad-hoc shell command. The
+renewal path and the normal `deploy-proxy` path must share a lock so they cannot
+race over Swarm secret versions.
+
+After production issuance and a successful Traefik rotation, remove the
+`wildcard_cert` and `wildcard_key` sops declarations from
+`nix/modules/secrets.nix`; otherwise later Nix activations would overwrite the
+renewed host files. Remove the obsolete encrypted values from the private
+`cc-ci-secrets` repository only after rollback is no longer needed.
+
+### 8. Lock registration and prove unattended renewal
+
+In a follow-up Nix change, set `api.disable_registration = true`, test that the
+existing account can still update its TXT record, and confirm `/register` is
+rejected. Then verify:
+
+```bash
+systemctl list-timers 'acme-*'
+systemctl start acme-ci.commoninternet.net.service
+journalctl -u acme-ci.commoninternet.net.service -b
+```
+
+Perform a controlled staging renewal after registration is disabled, observe
+the renewed Traefik secret version, and confirm the certificate served through
+the gateway has the expected names and a new validity window.
+
+## Final acceptance checklist
+
+- [ ] cc-ci and the orchestrator contain no Gandi API credential.
+- [ ] Gandi delegates only `acme.commoninternet.net` to cc-ci.
+- [ ] Only `_acme-challenge.ci.commoninternet.net` CNAMEs into that zone.
+- [ ] The acme-dns API is loopback-only; only 53/tcp and 53/udp are public.
+- [ ] External UDP and TCP authoritative DNS checks pass.
+- [ ] Registration is disabled after the one account is created.
+- [ ] The ACME account can update only its generated TXT record.
+- [ ] The certificate covers both `ci.commoninternet.net` and its wildcard.
+- [ ] A renewal rotates Traefik's Swarm secrets and preserves a working prior
+      version until the replacement passes health checks.
+- [ ] No credential or private key has been committed, logged, or written into
+      the Nix store.
