Add sealed CI integration: a GitHub Action and a GitLab CI template

scripts/validate.sh is the engine behind both platforms: download the released standalone jar and the validation configuration (SHA-256-verified when pinned), validate each document, print PASS/FAIL with the failing rule ids and fail on any rejection.
The GitHub Action (action.yml) maps its inputs onto the script's environment; the GitLab template fetches the same script from this repository at KOSIT_SCRIPT_REF and drives it with the same variables, so both platforms run identical logic.
With Docker available the action executes each validation sealed (the "sealed" input, default "auto"): inside an eclipse-temurin:21-jre container without network access, a read-only root and no capabilities, with only the jar, the configuration and a scratch directory mounted; downloads always happen outside the container, so the validator itself never touches the network, and the host JVM setup is skipped entirely for "sealed: always".
The image tag pins the Java 21 JRE contract and floats the patch level: the released jars are the checksummed artifacts, the runtime is a security-patch channel; an "image" input (KOSIT_IMAGE on GitLab) accepts a digest-pinned reference for stricter policies.
The GitLab job image is the same runtime, giving both platforms an identical execution environment, and a devcontainer provides the matching Maven and Java setup for development.
The action self-test validates a conformant XRechnung reference instance and asserts a corrupted one is rejected, exercising the sealed path through the empty-input fallback and an explicit image override, plus the host path.

+### Continuous Integration
+
+The repository ships a GitHub Action and a GitLab CI template so documents can be validated as part of a pipeline.
+
+Validate a directory of XML documents against the current XRechnung configuration with the GitHub Action:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: itplr-kosit/validator@main
+  with:
+    version: "1.6.2"
+    configuration: "https://github.com/itplr-kosit/validator-configuration-xrechnung/releases/download/v2026-01-31/xrechnung-3.0.2-validator-configuration-2026-01-31.zip"
+    files: invoices/
+```
+
+The action downloads the released standalone jar, runs every document and fails the job if any document is rejected, printing the failing rule ids. The optional `checksum` and `configuration-checksum` inputs verify the downloads against a SHA-256 pin. The reports are written to `report-dir` (default `validator-reports`), and the `accepted`/`rejected` counts are exposed as outputs.
+
+When Docker is available on the runner the action executes the validator inside an `eclipse-temurin:21-jre` container without network access, a read-only root and no capabilities; downloads always happen outside the container, so the validator itself never touches the network. The `sealed` input controls this (`auto` default, `always`, `never`), and the `image` input replaces the default image — the floating tag receives Java security patches automatically, while a digest-pinned reference can be passed for a stricter supply-chain policy.
+
+On GitLab, include [`gitlab/validator.gitlab-ci.yml`](./gitlab/validator.gitlab-ci.yml) and extend the `.kosit-validate` job template; its variables mirror the action inputs and its job image is the same pinned runtime the sealed action uses, so both platforms execute the validator in an identical environment.
