Description

According to the Predefined CI/CD variables reference, CI_SERVER_URL will just be what we want to GITLAB_URL, so when we are running on GitLab CI/CD, maybe it is better to retrieve the value by default?

Research direction

Locate where the plugin currently retrieves or defaults GITLAB_URL, then compare that behavior with GitLab CI's CI_SERVER_URL as described in the linked predefined variables reference. Done means the value is retrieved from CI_SERVER_URL by default when running on GitLab CI/CD, with the relevant existing behavior covered by tests.
