docs(env): document OMNIROUTE_INSTALL_UPGRADE_WORKDIR

The workdir override introduced in this branch is a new `process.env.*` read, and
two gates caught it immediately: `issue #7793: real .env.example is in sync with
process.env.* reads in code` and `check:env-doc-sync` (Docs Sync STRICT).

Both were right — an env var that exists only in code is an env var nobody can
find. Documented in `.env.example` and `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` with the
reason it exists: the gate needs ~12 GB and must not land on a small tmpfs.

-`npm-publish.yml` publishes through **npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC)** by default: the
-`stage-npm` job (github-hosted) exchanges GitHub's id-token for a short-lived npm
-credential for that run — no long-lived npm token in the repository secrets, no 2FA prompt, provenance attached.

-it restores the fully automatic flow the project had up to v3.8.48 while keeping the
-WS1.3 guarantee (a leaked token cannot publish alone — there is no token).

-**One-time setup (owner):** npmjs.com → package `omniroute` → Settings → *Trusted
-Publisher* → GitHub: owner `diegosouzapw`, repo `OmniRoute`, workflow `npm-publish.yml`
-(environment: none). Until that exists, the automatic step fails with `ENEEDAUTH`:
-re-dispatch with `publish_mode=staged` (below) or `direct`.

-`lsof` is required: the janitor proves a path is idle with one snapshot of open
-files before removing it, and without the tool it removes nothing and says so
-(exit 1). Try any change with `--dry-run` first — it prints exactly what it would
-do and touches nothing.
-
-What it does every run: sweeps our own leftovers (`runner-*`, `omniroute-*`,
-`next-build*`, `e2e-build.tar.gz`) after **3 h on tmpfs** and 24 h on disk
-`_work/_temp`; kills a `next-build` older than 75 min (no job runs that long — on
-2026-08-27 one ran 70 min after GitHub had declared its job lost); prunes 48 h-old
-checkouts of runners whose unit is **stopped**; alerts on disk ≥ 85 %, memory PSI
-`full/avg60` ≥ 10 %, and more listeners than `MAX_ACTIVE_RUNNERS` (with an
-omniroute/other breakdown). Exit 1 = attention needed; read the log.
-
-## Runner units: KillMode
-
-The runner's default `KillMode=process` leaves `Runner.Worker → npm → next-build`
-alive when a unit is stopped or restarted — an orphan build keeps eating RAM and
-CPU with no job attached. Every OmniRoute unit carries a drop-in
-(`/etc/systemd/system/actions.runner.diegosouzapw-OmniRoute.<name>.service.d/10-killmode.conf`)
-with `KillMode=mixed`: SIGTERM to the listener first, SIGKILL to the whole cgroup at
-`TimeoutStop`. It takes effect on the unit's next restart — restart **one runner at
-a time, only when idle**, with the idle check and the restart in the same command.
+What it does every 30min: sweeps runner temp leftovers older than 24h, alerts at
+≥85% root-disk usage, and alerts when more than the runner ceiling (default 4, tunable
+via the script's own environment) of `Runner.Listener` processes are up. Alerts land in `/var/log/runner-janitor.log`
+with a non-zero exit (grep for `⚠`).
 
 ## Operating rules
 
-- **Heavy-build ceiling: 2 at a time — enforced by label.** Every job that runs a
-  `next build` (`ci.yml` `build`, `npm-publish.yml` `publish`, both `nightly-release-green`
-  validations) targets `[self-hosted, omni-build]`, and only **two** runners carry that
-  label (`omniroute-113-5`, `omniroute-113-6`, added through the runners API — no
-  re-registration). The other six keep `omni-release` and take nothing heavy; GitHub
-  queues a third build instead of the kernel killing one. Pair with the `heavy-build-*`
-  concurrency lanes in `ci.yml`. To add capacity, label another runner — never raise
-  the count past what 31 GB holds (one next-build ≈ 14–16 GB).
-- **Never clean `/tmp` or `_work` by hand while any runner is busy.** A
-  check-then-delete with a gap between the two is how a live Build job lost its
-  `_work` on 2026-08-27. The janitor does the check and the removal in one step;
-  let it.
-- Stopping a runner mid-job cancels the job (observed live): `systemctl stop` only
-  when its listener has no `Runner.Worker` child — and do it in one command.
-- Workflows must not park artefacts in `/tmp` (it is RAM). Download to
-  `$RUNNER_TEMP` (on disk, per runner) — the 1.3 GB `next-build` artefact took 27–32
-  minutes to land on the tmpfs and 2 minutes to upload from disk.
+- **Ceiling: 4 runners** on the 16 GB box. Runners 5–8 stay STOPPED except for
+  explicit off-peak experiments — never during a release window.
+- Stopping a runner mid-job cancels the job (observed live): `systemctl stop`
+  only when its runner is idle (`Runner.Listener` without a `Runner.Worker` child).
 - The `.15` VPS is homologation-only — never runs CI runners.
