ci: set up dedicated GCP-based gitlab runner that runs on docker (!44) · Merge requests · GEG / templates / python-template

cbaker requested to merge chore/update-ci into main May 13, 2026

Switches CI from shell executor + laptop tag to Docker executor + gcp-runner tag, using the GEG group runner provisioned in geg-core-infra
Sets ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:python3.11-bookworm as the default job image (uv + Python 3.11, matches `.python-version
tag_branch uses alpine:latest + apk add git — alpine/git sets ENTRYPOINT ["git"] which breaks the runner's script execution
Removes the per-project runner setup step from README — no per-project setup needed with the group runner
