refactor(launcher): hardcode Gitea channel in lib/baked-gitea-channel.js

- Merge baked base_url/owner/repo/release_tag at load time (no inject script,
  no fractured-release-channel.json, no CI env for pack).
- Fix mergeConfig deep-merge for gitea, patch_manifest, launcher_updates_from_github.
- Remove inject-release-channel.js and fractured-release-channel.json.

-### Baked Gitea channel (non-token)
+### Hardcoded Gitea channel (non-token)
 
-**`npm run pack:win`** runs **`scripts/inject-release-channel.js`** first. It merges **`gitea.base_url`**, **`owner`**, **`repo`**, and optional **`release_tag`** into **`default-launcher.json`** for that build only (then **electron-builder** packs that file).
+**`lib/baked-gitea-channel.js`** exports **`base_url`**, **`owner`**, **`repo`**, **`release_tag`**. Set those strings once in the repo (same values you use for CI upload — not secret). At runtime **`config-store`** merges them into **`gitea.*`** so **`launcher.json`** does not need those fields; **`GITEA_TOKEN`** (or **`gitea.token_env`**) is still only for **private** Gitea. Leave a field **`''`** in the baked file to fall back to **`default-launcher.json`** / user **`launcher.json`** for that key.
 
-- **GitHub Actions** — **Sync release to Gitea** and **Fractured launcher CI** export **`GITEA_BASE_URL`**, **`GITEA_OWNER`**, **`GITEA_REPO`** (same names as your upload secrets) for the pack step, so installers match the repo you sync to. Nothing embeds **`GITEA_TOKEN`**.
-- **Local packs** — put the same values in **`fractured-release-channel.json`** (committed or personal copy) **or** export those env vars before **`npm run pack:win`**.
-
-First launch still copies **`default-launcher.json`** → **`launcher.json`** beside the exe, so players get the baked **`gitea.*`** without editing unless they override.
+**`npm run pack:win`** is plain **electron-builder** — no inject step, no extra JSON beside the app.
