docs: whole account on Windy Git — 143 repos, 1.58 GB, two tiers

Browse Source 
131 read-only mirrors (cannot run Actions, zero deploy risk) + 12 writable with
CI and deploys disabled. Total size matches the measured GitHub archive exactly,
which is the confirmation the copy is complete.

Splits the two concerns cleanly: having a copy is safe and should cover
everything now; running code needs judgement and happens per repo.

windy-pro IS included as a mirror — the G11.5 caution is about making it
writable while six checkouts disagree on HEAD, not about holding a read-only
copy. The DR copy is now complete.

import list as they become useful to build.

**Why the bulk is mirrors, and why that is the safety decision:** sampling 40
repos found **18 carrying deploy / release / publish workflows that trigger on
`push:`** — roughly 63 across the account. Importing those writable with Actions
enabled would have armed sixty-odd production deploy triggers on Veron 1, each
needing disarming by hand. **A pull mirror cannot run Actions at all**, so the
bulk import carries zero execution risk and Gitea syncs it with no script and no
timer.
That splits the two things cleanly: **having a copy** (safe, do it for
everything, now) and **running code** (needs judgement, do it per repo,
deliberately).
Seven repos are empty here because they are empty on GitHub — 0 KB upstream,
verified. Not failed imports.
`windy-pro` **is** present, as a mirror. That is safe: the G11.5 caution is
about making it *writable* while six checkouts and a three-way-forked build
counter disagree on HEAD. A read-only copy of whatever GitHub currently has
carries none of that risk — and it means the DR copy is complete.
## Promoting a mirror to writable + CI
Per repo, deliberately, when that repo is quiet:
1. delete the mirror, re-import with `mirror=false`
2. **review its workflows and disable every deploying one** (see the section
above — this is the step that matters)
3. add it to `REPOS` in `sync_from_github.sh` so it tracks GitHub
4. later, when it flips to Windy-Git-first: remove it from `REPOS` *first*,
repoint its sessions, add a push-mirror back to GitHub
