bircni 55c3a392a1 feat: generate the gt command reference from gitea/cli
update_cli_docs.sh runs gt's own generator and lays the pages out for the
site: one directory per command group, front matter, titles, sidebar
order, fenced help text and rewritten links. --released succeeds while no
series is documented. A weekly workflow proposes updates like the runner's.

gt notification watch

Print notifications as they arrive

Synopsis

Print notifications as they arrive or change, until Ctrl-C or --timeout. On a terminal
it runs until stopped; otherwise it stops after a minute unless --timeout says otherwise.
With --json it prints one JSON object per line. It polls on through an outage of the instance
of up to 5 minutes.
