feat(cli)!: subcommand CLI, graph tree mode, local include resolution

BREAKING CHANGES:
- `glint <file>` removed; use `glint check <file>`
- `--graph <mode>` removed; use `glint graph [mode]`
- `--graph-out` renamed to `--out` on `glint graph`

feat(cli): ruff-style subcommands — `glint check` and `glint graph [mode]`
feat(graph): `glint graph tree` — terminal job tree with context annotations
feat(graph): context flags (--branch/--tag/--source/--var) on `glint graph`
feat(resolver): recursive local include resolution from disk
fix(resolver): extends unknown base emits warning instead of fatal error
fix(model): script/before_script/after_script accept block scalar string form
test(linter): Samba project CI fixtures as integration tests
chore(build): fix .gitignore to not exclude cmd/glint/ directory
docs: update CHANGELOG, README, ROADMAP for v0.2.0

## Context-aware validation
## Context-aware validation — ✓ single-context shipped in v0.2.0
Pipelines in Git Flow, Trunk-Based Development, or any branching strategy are rarely uniform: jobs activate or skip based on `$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH`, `$CI_COMMIT_TAG`, `$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE`, and similar runtime variables. Today `glint` validates structure but cannot tell which jobs are actually reachable for a given context.
The plan is to make the execution context injectable so the linter can evaluate `rules:if:` / `only` / `except` conditions and report per-context reachability.
**CLI surface**
Single-context simulation is fully implemented. Pass `--branch`, `--tag`, `--source`, or `--var` to either `glint check` or `glint graph`; jobs are evaluated and shown as active / manual / skipped.
```bash
# Push to develop
glint --branch develop .gitlab-ci.yml
# Tag push (v1.2.0) — sets CI_COMMIT_TAG and clears CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
glint --tag v1.2.0 .gitlab-ci.yml
# Merge request pipeline
glint --source merge_request_event \
--var CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME=main \
.gitlab-ci.yml
# Explicit variable overrides for anything not covered by the shortcuts
glint --var CI_COMMIT_BRANCH=feat/my-feature \
--var CI_ENVIRONMENT_NAME=staging \
.gitlab-ci.yml
# Simulate multiple contexts in one run (print per-context job tables)
glint --context branch=main \
--context branch=develop \
--context tag=v1.0.0 \
.gitlab-ci.yml
# shipped: single-context simulation
glint check --branch develop .gitlab-ci.yml
glint check --tag v1.2.0 .gitlab-ci.yml
glint check --source merge_request_event --var CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME=main .gitlab-ci.yml
glint graph tree --branch main .gitlab-ci.yml # tree annotated with [skipped] / [manual]
```
**What context injection enables**
**Remaining work**
- Each job is resolved to **active** / **manual** / **skipped** for the given context
- Warn when the entire pipeline would produce zero runnable jobs (common mistake when a `workflow:rules:` block is too restrictive)
- Lint only the active job subset — skip `needs:` / `dependencies:` cross-checks for jobs that never co-execute in that context
- `--context` multi-simulation: print a table showing which jobs activate per context, making it easy to audit Git Flow rules across branches and tags at once
**Expression evaluator scope**
GitLab's `rules:if:` expression language will be implemented incrementally:
| Priority | Operators / features |
|----------|----------------------|
| 1 (MVP) | `==`, `!=`, `null` check, `&&`, `\|\|`, `!`, parentheses |
| 2 | Regex match `=~` / `!~` with `/pattern/` literals |
| 3 | `$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^feat\//`, anchored patterns |
| 4 | `only: branches / tags / merge_requests` shorthand mapping |
| 5 | `changes:` path glob evaluation against a real or mock file tree |
Predefined variables populated automatically from `--branch` / `--tag` / `--source` shortcuts: `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH`, `CI_COMMIT_TAG`, `CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME`, `CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG`, `CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE`, `CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH` (defaulting to `main`).
- **Multi-context simulation** — run multiple contexts in one invocation and print a comparison table:
```bash
glint check --context branch=main --context branch=develop --context tag=v1.0.0 .gitlab-ci.yml
```
- **Context-scoped linting** — skip `needs:`/`dependencies:` cross-checks for jobs that are statically unreachable in the given context
- **`rules:changes:` evaluation** — path glob evaluation against the local git tree (expression evaluator priority 5)

- **`include: remote:`** (URL) — fetch and merge plain HTTP/HTTPS URLs (no auth required)

- **Job tooltip / detail panel** — embed a hidden `<title>` and `<desc>` per chip so SVG viewers show `stage`, `when`, `image`, and `needs` on hover
