Subject: [PATCH] chore: add CITATION.cff so the repo is citable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

GitHub renders a "Cite this repository" button (APA + BibTeX) from a valid
CITATION.cff in the default branch's root. The fleet had none, which for an
audience of geneticists — whose output is papers — was the largest gap relative
to audience.

GENERATED, not typed: `make citation-write` in genefoundry-router derives it
from fleet-metadata.yaml (title, abstract, keywords — the same copy as the
GitHub About box) plus this repo's pyproject version and its latest release
date. `make citation-check` gates it. Validates against the CFF 1.2.0 schema.

The author is declared once, centrally, rather than read from pyproject
`authors` — those disagree across the fleet and some are fabricated.
