Some vendors publish a release feed of their own that is faster and more
precise than anyone's packaging of it. A package opts in with an
.omarchy/upstream.sh hook that reports the newest release as JSON, and the
driver rewrites pkgver, the checksum arrays the hook names, and pkgrel.
Writes are guarded on both ends: every assignment the update will touch is
verified to exist before anything is written, so a hook naming an array the
PKGBUILD lacks fails with the file untouched rather than half rewritten; and
pkgver is held to pacman's character set, because it lands in a file makepkg
sources as shell.
Ordering is vercmp's, not sort -V's -- they disagree about whether 1.0a
precedes 1.0, and pacman is what decides if a published package is an upgrade.
That is also why the workflow runs in an Arch container rather than straight on
the runner.

bin/build asks the local repository database which packages are already built.
A build machine has no such database, so every package looks out of date: an
unscoped 'bin/repo deploy' on this laptop would have built all 108 packages and
published them. Verified with a dry run.
deploy now refuses to run unscoped when that database is absent, and push
refuses the same combination under --yes, where nobody would see the list it
prints before publishing. Both are allowed on the repository host, which has
the database that makes the comparison meaningful.
Also states the split in the README: build, push and deploy are the three
commands that may run off the repository host; everything else works on the
published tree directly.

The warning dated from when .build-host was the release trigger's own setting
and push was a second consumer of it. One setting now names one machine for all
three commands, so there is nothing to keep separate -- and the advice was
wrong regardless: OMARCHY_REPO_HOST is read by the same resolver, so it arms
the trigger exactly as the file does. Only --host is per-invocation.

OMARCHY_BUILD_HOST and .build-host were carried as fallbacks through the
rename. Nothing in this checkout ever set either one, so they were a second
name for a setting that has only one real name.
Resolution is now --host, OMARCHY_REPO_HOST, .repo-host.

Builds now happen wherever the operator likes, so naming the destination after
building described the old arrangement rather than the current one. What the
push and deploy commands reach is the machine that serves pkgs.omarchy.org and
holds the signing key: the repository host. It also runs the scheduled builds,
which is why the trigger in omarchy-pkgs release points at the same place.
Resolution moves into helpers/host-helpers.sh, which all three commands now
share instead of repeating: --host, then OMARCHY_REPO_HOST, then .repo-host.
OMARCHY_BUILD_HOST and .build-host keep working as fallbacks, so existing
environments and checkouts are unaffected.
