Subject: [PATCH 01/17] ci: align pre-commit hooks and GitHub templates

Adopt the shared pre-commit baseline: two-line SPDX header, conventional
commit message validation (commit-msg stage), and the centralized
add-license / add-spdx-license hooks from developer_tools v0.2.0.
Run pre-commit CI only on files modified by the PR, and roll out the
standard issue templates and the simplified single PR template.

Subject: [PATCH 03/17] ci: drop SPDX adoption and keep long-form license
 headers

Remove the add-spdx-license hook reference and restore the standard
long-form NVIDIA BSD header on the files introduced by this branch.
The centralized add-license hook (developer_tools v0.2.0) is kept: it
excludes .github/ templates and never rewrites LICENSE files.

Subject: [PATCH 06/17] ci: share the server repository's PR templates
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adopt the canonical PR template set from triton-inference-server/server
(default chooser plus internal/external contribution templates) so every
repository presents the same PR experience. The manual "Commit Type"
checkbox section is dropped — the conventional-pre-commit hook
(commit-msg stage) enforces it automatically.

Subject: [PATCH 07/17] ci: align pre-commit hooks and adopt org-wide GitHub
 defaults

Adopt the shared pre-commit baseline: conventional-commit message
validation (commit-msg stage) and the centralized add-license hook from
the org .github repository (v1.0.0 - excludes .github/ templates and
never rewrites LICENSE files). Run pre-commit CI only on files modified
by the PR, and add the caller stub for the org-wide conventional-pr
reusable workflow (PR title validation + type labeling).

PR and issue templates are no longer stored per repository: they are
inherited from the org-wide defaults in triton-inference-server/.github
(issues route to the server repository).

Subject: [PATCH 17/17] ci: harden CI workflows and configs per fleet-wide
 review feedback

- conventional-pr stub: dual pull_request/pull_request_target triggers
  so fork PRs from external contributors get labeled too (the reusable
  workflow never checks out PR code); explicit contents:read; pinned
  v1.4.3.
- pre-commit workflow: robust modified-files runner (null-delimited
  paths, deletion-only PRs handled, deleted paths filtered, no
  undocumented -r flag, cache keyed on config hash).
- flake8 args quoted correctly (the flow-scalar form split at commas
  and silently reduced the select list).
- hooks pinned to .github v1.4.3.
