Populate the repository

Clone the now-existing empty repository, then generate its shell:

navigator site projects repository scaffold <code> --dir . --action-version <YY.M.D>

scaffold is idempotent. It writes README.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, an example templates/project_template.md, tests/README.md, and two workflows — .github/workflows/gate.yml (the CI gate) and .github/workflows/publish.yml (the portal-publish caller). It does not write portal/; that only exists once a client-facing application is built. Pass --action-version explicitly rather than relying on a default, which only resolves from a real release build.

Commit and push. That push is what makes the CI gate live on the new repository.
