docs(readme): git-gate is now a bidirectional mirror
test / unit (pull_request) Successful in 11s
test / integration (pull_request) Successful in 21s

Architecture diagram + bullet now reflect that the gate fronts
every git operation, not just push: pre-receive gitleaks-gates
the push path; an access-hook refreshes from upstream before each
upload-pack so fetch / clone / pull / ls-remote see whatever the
upstream has at that moment (fail-closed if unreachable).

- **git-gate image** — per-agent sidecar built on `zricethezav/gitleaks`
(alpine + gitleaks + git-daemon + openssh-client). Runs
`git daemon --enable=receive-pack` so the agent can push to it
via `git://`; a pre-receive hook gitleaks-scans each incoming ref
and forwards clean refs to the real upstream over SSH using a
credential the agent never sees. Brought up only when `bottle.git`

`git daemon` over `git://` as a bidirectional mirror of each
declared upstream. A pre-receive hook gitleaks-scans incoming
refs and forwards clean refs to the real upstream over SSH; an
access-hook runs `git fetch origin --prune` against the upstream
before every upload-pack so an agent fetch returns whatever the
upstream has *now* (fail-closed if unreachable). The agent's
`~/.gitconfig` rewrites the real URL to the gate via `insteadOf`,
so push, fetch, clone, and pull all route through. The agent
never sees the upstream credential. Brought up only when
`bottle.git` has entries. Design in `docs/prds/0008-git-gate.md`.
When the agent exits, `cli.py` tears down every sidecar that was
brought up and the two networks; nothing about a bottle persists
