A fresh hub following docs/self-hosting.md was a locked room: invite-only
(the default) showed "Sign up disabled" with nobody to mint an invite, and
the approval-gated posture stranded the first admin as pending forever.
Emails on the config's admin list are operator-vetted, so they now
activate immediately on signup (any posture), and while the hub has zero
accounts they may sign up even on an invite-only hub. Strangers still
can't take the bootstrap slot, and the door closes after the first
account. Validated end to end from scratch: hub boot → admin signup →
device-code login × 2 devices → init → bidirectional sync → hooks install.
Also adds the missing GitHub Actions CI workflow (build/vet/test on
ubuntu + macos) — the repo previously had no CI at all.

GTM reviewer round 1 (baseline: positioning 6, funnel 4, open-paid 8,
community 3, launch 3, metrics 2; 3 blockers + 3 majors, all repo-fixable):
- TRUTH: removed the false 'no server required' claim (x3 on the
website) and stale 'S3/GCS directly' sync claims in both plugin
manifests — hub-only since v0.3.0
- POSITIONING: one line everywhere ('the open-source Google Drive for
AI agents' + the attribution/read-analytics wedge) across README,
website, marketplace.json, plugin.json, SKILL.md; third 'Why' card
and AGPL-why rationale; nav CTA → Star on GitHub
- COMMUNITY: CONTRIBUTING.md, issue forms + PR template, public dated
ROADMAP.md, CHANGELOG.md seeded from all 8 releases
- DEMO ASSETS: real product screenshots captured from the seeded demo
hub (Insights treemap, browse-with-heat, public share page) embedded
in README + website — no fabricated content anywhere
- DOCS: self-hosting quickstart, metrics plan (north star: active
shared brains), launch-plan drafts (Show HN/PH/launch week), and
docs/gtm-handoff.md — the prioritized external-action checklist
