Finalize public release documentation and Zenodo citation

[PSchmiedmayer]

The first public release is archived on Zenodo, but the README and source citation did not expose its DOI or REUSE registration. Add the project DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23361126 consistently to the README badge and citation, CITATION.cff, the durable BibTeX source, and the illustrative layout demo. Keep the generic manuscript DOI field empty so new papers do not inherit the template DOI. Regenerate the bibliography and preview assets from their sources.

Explain that the project DOI covers all releases and retain concise template acknowledgment guidance, without a release-specific README section to maintain. Add the live REUSE badge and remove the private-repository exception that skipped workflow URL validation.

The public-repository audit found that shared standards release v0.5.18 contains an invalid nested Markdown Links workflow reference. That issue is addressed in SchmiedmayerLab/.github#42. This PR preserves the normal @v0.5 dependency. The shared fix has been merged and released. Required check names, permissions, and all version-tag conventions are unchanged.

Validation:

• 47 tests passed; draft checks have 0 errors and 24 intentional starter warnings.
• Main manuscript, layout demo, and documentation snapshots rebuilt; changed PDF pages visually inspected.
• Isolated arXiv rebuild and rendered-page comparison passed (25 files).
• Bibliography synchronization, actionlint, diff checks, and all public links passed.
• Local REUSE lint passed for all 122 files; the registered REUSE service also reports compliance.

Repository audit: the active main ruleset requires all seven expected checks, an approval, resolved conversations, signed commits, and linear history; squash merge is enabled. Secret scanning, push protection, dependency security updates, and CodeQL are enabled. Existing approval/bypass settings were inspected without modification. CodeQL's four mutable-tag warnings remain under the requested version-tag policy. No release tag, archived Zenodo record, manuscript decision log, or downstream paper repository is changed by this PR.
