+name: Mirror canonical main to Gitea

+# GitHub is the canonical line. This workflow mirrors main and tags to the
+# Gitea mirror and then verifies that .github/ and scripts/ are byte-identical
+# on both forges, so the #342 reconciliation invariant is enforced by CI
+# rather than by hand.
+
+# Requires a repository secret:
+#   GITEA_MIRROR_TOKEN - a Gitea token with Contents: write on
+#                        terraphim/terraphim-clients.
