Decision 2026-10-13: the release stays at L2. Each repo's release.yml is dispatched on main and builds, signs and attests in one job; its SAN binds the repository because nothing else can invoke that workflow.

A reusable builder in the same job never was L3, since the caller's task release shares the job with the id-token. A public one also made the builder's SAN callable from any repository. Real L3 needs a dedicated builder repo with a separate signing job, and that means moving every repo's publish (GitHub release, oras, AMI registration, images PR) into it. Against an attacker who already holds main, it buys little.

Reverts #36, #37, #38, #39 (Builder/Builders/Repository, provenance -builder/BuiltBy, fulciotest). With rekor out of the graph, vulngate is clean at the previous grpc/x/net. task lint green.

…fulciotest

The release stays at SLSA Build L2: each repository's release.yml, dispatched on
main, builds, signs and attests in one job, and its SAN binds the repository
because nothing else can invoke that workflow. A reusable builder in the same
job never gave L3 - the caller's code shares the job with the id-token - and a
public one made the SAN callable from any repository. A dedicated builder repo
with a separate signing job would, at the cost of moving every repository's
publish into it; against whoever already holds main, it buys little.

Reverts 3a12532, a38a073, defd29b, 19bcef5, 33b66d7 and 70a418a; with rekor
gone from the graph, vulngate is clean at the previous grpc and x/net.
