Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates that adjust GitLab connection setup steps; no runtime or security-sensitive code changes.

Overview
Updates the deploy/gitlab.mdx guide to include self-hosted GitLab instance configuration (host URL + public accessibility requirement) and clarifies monorepo and deploy branch selection during setup.

Cleans up introductory wording/keywords and removes the prior HTTPS-cloning prerequisite note while updating the connection step instructions and screenshots.
