feat: Laravel 12 bootstrap (composer create-project)

Per INITIALIZE.md step 1: ran `composer create-project
laravel/laravel . "^12"` to land the framework skeleton. Laravel 12
ships with PHP 8.2+ support, Vite + Tailwind asset pipeline,
PHPUnit + Mockery for tests, Pint for lint. Pest comes later
(INITIALIZE.md step 6).

composer.json metadata replaced with Simtabi values:

  name:    simtabi/get-installer-admin
  authors: Simtabi LLC <opensource@simtabi.com>
  support: github.com/simtabi/get-installer-admin

Laravel's `.gitignore` was overwritten by the Simtabi-conventions
one already in this commit; merged-in content covers vendor/,
node_modules/, public/build/, .env, storage/*.key, and the local
override patterns (`.claude/settings.local.json`).

CI updated:

- Removed the PHPStan step (not yet installed; INITIALIZE.md step
  6 covers that)
- Removed the Pest step + added PHPUnit (Laravel 12 default test
  framework; Pest plugin moves us to it in step 6)
- Added .env + APP_KEY generation steps
- Switched node job to `npm ci + npm run build` (matches Laravel
  12's Vite default; pnpm switch happens later)

PHPUnit smoke test confirmed locally: 2/2 tests pass.

Next steps still tracked in INITIALIZE.md: Passport (step 2),
Inertia + React + Tailwind (step 3), multi-tenancy (step 4),
OpenAPI validator wiring (step 5), Pest swap (step 6).
