Every records sync has failed since 2026-10-04: the module ran in a container as root until it moved into the runtime, and left the checkout root's (2 598 entries); the runtime runs it as the operator account, and git refuses the checkout as "dubious ownership". records_search has answered from a stale copy since.

Ported to Go (operator's rule), behaviour kept: search (wrapped lines, emphasis ignored, nearest heading, commit named), read (paths kept inside), list, status, sync; sync on every gitea.pull.merged for its repository and every 10 minutes.
The checkout lives in repository/ under the given directory, a directory the module makes and owns. The old layout is removed where it is the module's; what it cannot remove is named in records_status (leftBehind) with the one command that deletes it.
Drops the container-runtime capability left over from the container.

Tests: the TypeScript module's tests ported (a real git repository: search, wrapped phrase, emphasis, read, list, standing, a merge pulled; refusals; a failed sync said), plus the new layout and the refusal to guess the repository. go vet, gofmt clean; module check ok, 5 tools.

records: port to Go, and keep the checkout in a directory it owns db9a5bff0c

Every sync had failed since a container that ran as root left the checkout
root's: git refused it as dubious ownership, and records answered from a
stale copy. The Go bundle clones into repository/ under its directory, clears
the old layout where it can and names what it cannot. Drops the container-
runtime capability the move into the runtime left behind. hq issue 251.
