Subject: [PATCH] Publish to the GitLab package registry on version tags

The README's install line failed: the package was never published, and
nothing told npm where the @extant2000 scope lives. A tag like v1.2.3 now
publishes to this project's registry with CI_JOB_TOKEN, and the README
sets the scope's registry before installing.
