 ## Setting Up a Runner (if needed)
 
-If you don't have any runners yet, you need to set one up. This can be on the Gitea server itself or any machine with Docker/Go.

 ### Quick Runner Setup

-2. **Monitor the build**:
-   - Go to Actions tab
-   - You should see the workflow running
-   - Check logs for any errors

-3. **Verify the release**:
-   - Go to Releases tab
-   - You should see a new release with binaries and checksums

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Action not found" error
-- Make sure Gitea Actions is enabled
-- Restart Gitea if you just enabled it: `sudo systemctl restart gitea`
-
-### No runners available
-- Runner must be registered: Administration → Actions → Runners
-- Runner machine must have Docker and Go installed
-- Check if runner is online in the UI
-
-### "GITEA_TOKEN" not found
-- Make sure the secret is named exactly `GITEA_TOKEN` (case-sensitive)
-- Go to Settings → Secrets and verify it's there
-- If it's there, try re-running the workflow

-### Build fails with permission denied
-- Make sure the runner has permission to run Docker commands
-- On the runner machine: `sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`

 2. **Every git tag push** (e.g., `v1.0.0`) triggers the full release:
