Add an --xvfb switch to 'build run' and 'job' that wraps the Linux build
command in 'xvfb-run -a sh -c ...', giving GUI toolkits (GTK4/PyGObject)
a headless $DISPLAY. Exported env vars precede xvfb-run so they
propagate into the virtual-display session. No-op (with a notice) for
Windows guests.
The local-ci-build composite action exposes it as the 'xvfb' input
(default false), forwarded as INPUT_XVFB -> --xvfb, mirroring the
use-shared-cache/skip-artifact wiring.
Docs: WORKFLOW-AUTHORING.md parameter table + Linux example note;
LINUX-TEMPLATE-SETUP.md Step 4a (the template ships python3-gi
gir1.2-gtk-4.0 xvfb). Adds build-run unit tests (wrap, plain, Windows
no-op).

- Implement tests for disk alert JSON output to include a message field when below threshold.
- Add tests for runner status when Gitea is online but no webhook URL is provided.
- Introduce tests for job report details to ensure no error line appears when there are no failure events.
- Add tests to skip empty JSONL files in job report listing.
- SshTransport.run_streaming: incremental channel recv, forwards
stdout/stderr live (no more one-block-at-end). _linux_build uses it
with PYTHONUNBUFFERED so the guest python flushes promptly.
- _tail_lines split out for failure messages (no double print).
- Windows live streaming deferred (TODO 8.2) — pypsrp execute_ps
returns only at completion.
- build-ns7zip.yml: use-git-clone:'true' (in-guest), repo-url ->
https://gitea.emulab.it/... (guest-reachable; host SSH alias was
host-only). Requires GiteaPAT in the LocalSystem keyring or a public
nsis-plugin-ns7zip.

Windows produced an intermediate C:\CI\output\artifacts.zip that
upload-artifact then re-zipped (zip-in-zip), while Linux deposited raw
files. Make both paths consistent: the build stages raw outputs into a
collect dir; collect zips it only as a transport archive, fetches, and
extracts into the host artifact dir; actions/upload-artifact produces
the single final archive.
- _windows_build: param artifact_zip -> output_dir; stage raw files
(in-place when source IS the collect dir, else wipe+copy), no
Compress-Archive; absolute artifact-source resolved.
- _windows_collect: zip guest dir as transport, fetch, extract (mirror
_linux_collect); guest_path is now the collect directory.
- job.py / build_run CLI: pass output_dir; rename --guest-artifact-zip
-> --guest-output-dir.
- Tests updated for the raw-file contract.
