feat(cli): inject GitLab predefined variables into the simulation context
ci / vet, staticcheck, test, build (push) Successful in 2m5s

Two categories of predefined variables are now injected automatically:

1. Always-available (CI=true, GITLAB_CI=true): set at lowest priority for
   every non-empty context so that rules:if: expressions like '$CI == "true"'
   evaluate correctly without requiring --var.

2. MR-specific (CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID, CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME,
   CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME, …): injected as placeholder values
   when --source merge_request_event is given, so MR-gated jobs evaluate
   as active rather than silently skipped. CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME
   is derived from --branch when provided.

All injected defaults are non-pinned: --var overrides them, and pipeline
variables: blocks can also override via Inject(). The empty context (no
flags at all) is unchanged — no predefined vars are injected.
