ci/gitea-settings.sh told the reader to "create a Gitea repo secret
GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN". That instruction is IMPOSSIBLE to follow: Gitea reserves the
GITEA_ prefix for secret names and rejects the PUT with HTTP 400 "invalid secret name".

Same defect as the one fixed in PR #15 and in the README in PR #19 -- this was the third
file carrying it, found by an agent reading the file rather than trusting my description
of it. A comment that instructs an impossible action is not cosmetic: this exact wrong
name is why the drift detector sat inert while a token existed and no secret did.

Now names SETTINGS_API_TOKEN, and states explicitly that GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN remains
honoured ONLY as a local-run env var -- it can never be the CI wiring, because the secret
that would feed it cannot exist.
