GitLab CI Pipeline

Intent

Establish standard CI for GitLab-hosted IG repositories, providing equivalent capabilities to the GitHub Actions pipeline. Essential for organisations using GitLab for private hosting or enterprise features.

Implementation Considerations

    - sushi .
    - ./_scripts/publisher.sh
  artifacts:
    paths: [output]
  cache:
