Summary
Adds mobile-responsive CSS to Forgejo by mounting a ConfigMap into the custom/public/css/ directory. Forgejo auto-loads any CSS in this path on every page. Uses the Helm chart's native extraVolumes and extraContainerVolumeMounts values -- no image rebuilds or patches needed.

Tech stack: OpenTofu (Terraform) + Helm + Kubernetes + CSS (embedded in ConfigMap)
Terraform patterns:
kubernetes_config_map_v1.forgejo_custom_css.metadata[0].nameinextraVolumescreates an implicit Terraform dependency, which is the idiomatic approach. The PR body claims "Addeddepends_on" but there is no explicitdepends_onblock in the diff -- this is fine because the implicit reference is correct, but the PR body is slightly misleading.extraVolumesandextraContainerVolumeMountsuse the Helm chart's native values.

1. Unrelated file:
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-10-westside-admin-design.md(scope creep)This PR adds a 183-line westside-admin design spec that has zero relationship to issue #347 (Forgejo mobile CSS). This file:
This must be removed from this PR before merge. If it needs to be committed, it should go through its own issue/PR.
NITS
PR body inaccuracy: The Changes section states "Added
depends_onto ensure ConfigMap exists before Helm release" but no explicitdepends_onwas added. The implicit reference dependency is correct and preferred -- just update the PR body to reflect reality.Incomplete desktop restore: The
@media (min-width: 600px)block only reverts 3 selectors (nav menu, diff code, repo file table). Rules likewidth: 100%on.issue-content-rightandwidth: 100% !importanton.dashboard .activity-cardapply at all viewport widths. These are likely harmless (Forgejo probably already does full-width at desktop), but verify during manual testing that desktop layout is unchanged.CSS comment styling: The horizontal rule comments use Unicode box-drawing characters (U+2500). Not a problem, but unusual in CSS. Purely cosmetic observation.

NITS
The PR body states "Added
depends_onto ensure ConfigMap exists before Helm release" but no explicitdepends_onexists in the diff. The implicit reference-based dependency is correct and preferable -- this is just an inaccuracy in the PR description, not a code issue.Minor: the heredoc CSS is indented with 6 spaces (inside the HCL block). This is fine for readability in HCL but means the rendered CSS will have leading whitespace. Functionally harmless since CSS ignores leading whitespace in selectors/properties, but worth knowing if debugging the rendered ConfigMap output.
