Pull request overview

Re-enables fully gasless owner updates during the claim flow (post-FUNDING.json verification) and adds support for “re-claiming” an already-claimed GitHub project to update its on-chain owner.

Changes:

• Adds a new gasless relay endpoint to submit updateOwnerByLit via Gelato in the background.
• Updates the claim project flow to allow re-claiming (claimed URL + different connected wallet) and adjusts verification/status checks accordingly.
• Removes the legacy “Request owner update” utility from the Secret Menu and updates owner-update tx construction to route through Caller (including gasless EIP-712 flow).
