First dispatch on the empty template failed at Chroma collection
creation because PRODUCT_NAME was the literal string "<product>"
(YAML doesn't expand placeholders), and Chroma rejects collection
names containing characters outside [a-zA-Z0-9._-]:
chromadb.errors.InvalidArgumentError: Validation error: name:
Expected a name containing 3-512 characters from [a-zA-Z0-9._-],
starting and ending with a character in [a-zA-Z0-9]. Got:
<product>_docs
Same fix as the IMAGE env: derive from the repo name dynamically
via ${{ github.event.repository.name }}. Cloners can still override
explicitly, but a fresh clone now runs the index-rebuild step
cleanly out of the box.
Verified by re-dispatch — should fail next at docker login (placeholder
REGISTRY_PUSH hostname), which is the next-expected fail point and a
real per-deployment config the cloner has to fill in.

Both workflows had a static IMAGE env (<owner>/<product>-docs-mcp)
and a static --package arg in the GC step. Switch both to Gitea
Actions context variables so a clone of the template into any repo
name works on the first CI run without find/replace:
IMAGE: ${{ github.repository_owner }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}
--owner ${{ github.repository_owner }}
--package ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
Also add the "Link container package to this repo" step that was
missing from the template (and which, naively copy-pasted from the
reference build, would have linked everything back to docs-mcp-
template). The new step derives owner + package + link-target all
from the running repo's context.
The github.* namespace is Gitea Actions' inherited GitHub-Actions
context — values come from the Gitea server, not github.com. Same
mechanism the reference build's $GITHUB_SHA tag-builder uses.
CLAUDE.md updated to note that image and package naming are
repo-derived; only registry endpoints and the Ollama URL need
per-clone editing.
