Cimas sync 2026-07-05: propagate #300 gaps + accumulated template drift

[opoudjis]

Cimas-sync wave 2026-07-05 propagating template changes accumulated over the past ~2 weeks to the cimas-managed repos.

What this wave carries

• Master .rubocop.yml enrichment (metanorma/ci#334) — adds plugins: rubocop-rspec, rubocop-performance, rubocop-rake; bumps TargetRubyVersion: 3.4 → 3.3 to align with the org minimum per ci#274.
• Rubygems-release workflow refinements (ci#325, #326, #327, #328, #324) — post-publish gem verification, post-dispatch acknowledgement poll, release-chain.md documentation of "dispatch accepted vs acted on", skip dev/test bundle install groups, patches regex relaxation.
• Gap 1 (metanorma/cimas#55, ci#344, #345) — metanorma migrates to master/rake.yml.erb with with: private-fonts: true; metanorma-standoc and isodoc also migrate (byte-identical output).
• Gap 2 (ci#346) — pubid monorepo re-added, migrates from its local .github/workflows/generic-rake.yml fork to consume the new shared metanorma/ci/.github/workflows/monorepo-per-gem-rake.yml reusable.
• Assorted workflow template updates — permissions blocks, description-text refinements, template-forward drift accumulated over June.

Why this wave now

The scheduled cimas-drift-audit first-run report on 2026-07-04 surfaced 242 accumulated silent-drift warnings across the 157 cimas-managed repos. This wave clears the ~90% of them that were pure accumulated template drift.

Flatten-stale mode

This wave uses cimas open-prs --flatten-stale (per the newly-shipped cimas#56), so prior open cimas-sync-* PRs on each repo are auto-closed as superseded rather than left to stack. The wave-regeneration invariant holds — every cimas-sync regenerates the same file set from cimas.yml — so newer waves strictly supersede older by construction.

If any prior wave PR carried hand-edited content that should be preserved, rebase your local changes onto this branch before merging.

Merge posture

• The diffs are template-refresh only; no behavioural changes to your gem's build/release path.
• Merge freely once the CI checks pass.
• If the CI check fails or a diff looks unexpected, ping @opoudjis on this PR and we'll investigate.

Auto-closed as superseded by #90 from a later cimas-sync wave (cimas-sync-2026-07-08). If part of this PR's content should have been preserved before flattening, rebase this branch elsewhere and reopen. (--flatten-stale, metanorma/ci#300 Gap 4 full)
