## Problem
Forgejo Actions failed with error:
```
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process:
exec: "node": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown
```

## Root Cause
GitHub Actions like checkout@v4, cache@v4, and upload-artifact@v4 require
Node.js runtime, but Ruby Alpine containers don't include Node.js by default.

## Solutions Implemented

### 1. Updated Existing Workflows
- **ci.yml**: Added Node.js installation (`apk add nodejs npm`)
- **test.yml**: Added Node.js installation for GitHub Actions compatibility

### 2. New Alternative Workflows
- **node-ruby.yml**: Uses Node.js 18 Alpine base with Ruby installed
- **simple.yml**: Shell-based workflow avoiding Node.js actions
- **minimal.yml**: Minimal test-only workflow with basic shell commands

### 3. Updated Documentation
- Added troubleshooting section for Node.js issues
- Documented all workflow options with their trade-offs
- Provided clear solutions for different use cases

## Workflow Options

### For Full GitHub Actions Support
- Use `node-ruby.yml` (Node.js base + Ruby)
- Use `ci.yml` or `test.yml` (Ruby base + Node.js installed)

### For Minimal Dependencies
- Use `simple.yml` (shell-based, manual git/docker)
- Use `minimal.yml` (basic test execution only)

### For Production
- Use `node-ruby.yml` for maximum compatibility
- Use `simple.yml` for minimal resource usage

## Benefits
- **Multiple Options**: Choose workflow based on needs
- **Backward Compatibility**: Existing workflows still work
- **Minimal Alternatives**: Avoid Node.js dependency if not needed
- **Clear Documentation**: Troubleshooting guide for common issues

This provides flexibility to use Forgejo Actions with or without Node.js
dependencies based on specific requirements.
