Subject: [PATCH] CI: run on the VPS runner (plain shell instead of
 checkout/setup-bun actions)

Rootless podman on cirunner-vps cannot copy cached actions into job
containers (symlinks: "path escapes from parent"), so any job that
landed there failed. Checkout is now plain git and Bun comes from its
install script; both are verified on cirunner-vps.
