The GitLab project was seeded with a scaffold (CODEOWNERS, LICENSE, README, pipeline.variables.sh) unrelated to the local history, so this is an unrelated-histories merge. Kept GitLab's CODEOWNERS - it names the real codeowners group - along with its LICENSE wording and PROJECT_VERSION_NUMBER=0.0.1. Kept the local README, which documents the service rather than GitLab's default template.
The Gitea workflow now derives the registry owner from github.repository_owner instead of hard-coding a personal namespace.
