…igMap lookup
Replace fragile auto-discovery (gitlab-ci-{lang}-{buildtool} naming convention with
fallback) with explicit user choice. Users now select a template ConfigMap at
onboarding via the app.edp.epam.com/gitlab-ci-template annotation on the Codebase CR.
The portal will discover available templates by listing ConfigMaps with the
app.edp.epam.com/ci-template=gitlab label.
Decision rationale:
- Auto-discovery failed for edge cases (java17 vs java21 ambiguity)
- Explicit selection gives users clear control and transparency
- Removes fragile naming convention coupling
- Enables future extensibility (per-team, per-language defaults)
- Only {{.CodebaseName}} substitution kept; Lang/BuildTool removed to prevent
template surprises and keep user content literal
