docs: align documentation with session fixes

Reconcile docs with the end-to-end pipeline fixes:
- upload/download-artifact @v4 -> @v3 (Gitea GHES) in WORKFLOW-AUTHORING
  and workflow-example.yml; add Common Mistakes rows (v4, action ref
  form + DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL, public action repo).
- BEST-PRACTICES / README / HOST-SETUP: guest credential must live in
  the LocalSystem vault with a host-qualified username; document
  Set-CIGuestCredential.ps1 / Test-CIGuestWinRM.ps1 and auth=ntlm.
- README / AGENTS / HOST-SETUP: production venv install is NON-editable
  (LocalSystem); no CI workflow may install into it.
- HOST-SETUP: add DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL=github + full-URL uses: + public
  repo + @main requirements discovered during validation.
- Correct stale repo name local-ci-system -> local-ci-cd-system.

### Do NOT store credentials in scripts or config files
The scripts use `-GuestCredentialTarget` (a Windows Credential Manager target name)
rather than plaintext username/password parameters. Store credentials once:
The guest VM credential is referenced by target name (`BuildVMGuest`,
`GITEA_CI_GUEST_CRED_TARGET`) and read by the Python orchestrator via the
`keyring` library — never as plaintext parameters.
> **Critical: store it in the LocalSystem vault, not your user vault.**
> act_runner runs as the `LocalSystem` service account. Windows Credential
> Manager / keyring vaults are **per-user**. A credential added with
> `cmdkey` or the Credential Manager UI from an interactive admin session
> lands in *your* vault and is invisible to the runner, which then fails
> with `Credential 'BuildVMGuest' not found in keyring`.
> **Username must be host-qualified.** The guest is a workgroup machine;
> NTLM rejects a bare `ci_build` with `SEC_E_UNKNOWN_CREDENTIALS`. Store
> it as `WINBUILD-2025\ci_build` (the guest computer name, i.e. the WinRM
> TLS certificate CN). The WinRM transport forces `auth='ntlm'` for the
> same reason (Negotiate→Kerberos is meaningless without a domain).
Store (or rotate) the credential with the helper, which writes into the
SYSTEM vault via the production venv's `keyring` (run elevated):
```powershell
# Run on host (once, before first CI job)
cmdkey /generic:BuildVMGuest /user:MACHINENAME\ci_build /pass:YourStrongPassword
.\scripts\Set-CIGuestCredential.ps1 -UserName 'WINBUILD-2025\ci_build'
```
Retrieve in scripts via the `CredentialManager` PowerShell module:
```powershell
Install-Module CredentialManager -Scope CurrentUser
$cred = Get-StoredCredential -Target 'BuildVMGuest'
```
It prompts for the password securely, writes it to the SYSTEM vault, and
verifies the read-back as SYSTEM. Diagnose WinRM reachability/auth with
`.\scripts\Test-CIGuestWinRM.ps1 -IpAddress <guest-ip>`.
### Rotate credentials quarterly
1. Update password in the template VM (requires rebuilding `BaseClean` snapshot)
2. Update Windows Credential Manager on the host:
```
cmdkey /generic:BuildVMGuest /user:MACHINENAME\ci_build /pass:NewPassword
```
3. No script changes required — they reference the target name, not the password.
1. Update the password in the template VM (rebuild the `BaseClean` snapshot).
2. Re-run `Set-CIGuestCredential.ps1 -UserName 'WINBUILD-2025\ci_build'`
with the new password.
3. No code changes required — the orchestrator references the target name.

### Note operative (scoperte in validazione end-to-end)
Setup-Host.ps1 da solo **non basta** per la pipeline Python su runner
LocalSystem. Dopo Setup-Host:
- **Credenziale guest nel vault SYSTEM, username host-qualificato.** Lo
step 4 scrive in Windows Credential Manager dell'utente interattivo →
invisibile ad act_runner (LocalSystem). Esegui (elevato):
`\.\scripts\Set-CIGuestCredential.ps1 -UserName 'WINBUILD-2025\ci_build'`.
Bare `ci_build` viene rifiutato da NTLM (`SEC_E_UNKNOWN_CREDENTIALS`):
usa il computer name del guest (= CN del cert WinRM). Diagnostica:
`\.\scripts\Test-CIGuestWinRM.ps1 -IpAddress <guest-ip>`.
- **venv di produzione = install non-editable.** Popola
`F:\CI\python\venv` con `python -m pip install .` dal repo reale —
**mai** `pip install -e .` (il `.pth` punta a un path che LocalSystem
non risolve → `No module named ci_orchestrator`). Vedi
`plans/PhaseA-user-checklist.md` Passo 1. Nessun workflow CI deve
installare in quel venv (lint usa un venv effimero per-job).
- **Gitea `app.ini`:** imposta `[actions] DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL = github`
e referenzia l'action col **URL completo**
(`https://gitea.emulab.it/Simone/local-ci-cd-system/.gitea/actions/local-ci-build@main`)
così le action GitHub (checkout, upload-artifact) restano risolvibili
e l'action locale punta all'istanza. Il repo `local-ci-cd-system` deve
essere **pubblico** (il runner clona l'action senza autenticazione) e
l'action deve esistere su `@main` (il ref che il runner clona).
