Merge the four independent gateway-gamers.net site repos (40k-rankings,
aos-rankings, kingmaker, scouting) into one monorepo under sites/,
preserving each site's full commit history via a manual subtree-style
merge (git-subtree isn't available in this environment).
- shared/: header.template.html (nav swapped in per site), footer.html,
and images/ — previously byte-identical copies duplicated 4x (~100MB).
- Each site's public/footer.html and public/images are now symlinks into
shared/; public/header.html is generated at predev/prebuild time from
shared/header.template.html + the site's own nav.html, so nav bars stay
individual while everything else about the header is shared.
- Single root .gitlab-ci.yml with path-scoped build/deploy jobs per site
plus a deploy:shared job, replacing the 4 separate per-repo pipelines.
- nginx confs (kept per-site as reference, same as before) gain
location /images/ and location = /footer.html alias blocks pointing at
a shared webserver directory, so the deployed site no longer duplicates
the images either — see README.md for the full layout and the runbook
for applying this on the webserver.
