- use static matrix config .ci/job_matrix_gha_k8.yaml and arch-driven execution (TARGET_ARCHES/TARGET_ARCH) - improve local runtime: native colima profile support, k3s node relabeling, and Jenkins startup cloud/label bootstrap - stabilize Jenkins-to-k8 connectivity with in-cluster Service/Endpoints and DNS-aware preflight checks - persist diagnostic artifacts per run (job output, Jenkins console, build JSON, container logs) - print failure tails and workflow log tails (last 200 lines) for faster CI debugging - make GHA and local share the same scripts/local_gha_ci.sh path and upload logs as artifacts - fix Jenkins checkout reliability in GHA detached worktrees (branch ref handling, non-lightweight checkout, GitHub REPO_URL) - update local cleanup and colima make targets for repeatable test cycles

i would add something about overrunning default matrix yaml with CI_K8_FILE env var for testing localy of other matrix yaml file for different features.
Also is it possible to see jenkins UI with web-browser for local tests - in many cases i will want tosee how things look in the UI

script does overrun automatically.
at the end of GHA job - jenkins server log, job log and gha console is printed to stdout, also all logs are attached as job artifactory.

Introduce a unified CI harness to test ci-demo in a self-hosted Kubernetes environment (local k3s + Jenkins), and reuse the same harness in GitHub Actions.
At a high level, this change:
For local validation:
For local validation on MAC:
This provisions Jenkins+k3s, runs .ci/job_matrix_gha_k8.yaml, and stores logs in .tmp/local-gha-ci/logs for troubleshooting.
Summary: this PR adds a reliable, reusable CI path for validating ci-demo on self-hosted Kubernetes (Jenkins + k3s), with the same flow used locally and in GitHub Actions. It introduces architecture-aware matrix execution, stabilizes SCM/branch handling in CI environments, and improves debuggability through consistent log collection and tail output.
