This change was committed straight to main, bypassing the required PR review.
Reverting main to baseline; the change is preserved on branch
scrubs/gro-2536-gitops-fix-forward-rule and will land via PR review (GRO-2536).

The board flagged that agents repeatedly requested board approval and hand-run
kubectl on a Flux-managed cluster — unfillable, wrong, and the root cause of a
multi-day stall. The devops skill prohibited `kubectl apply` to prod but never
stated the corollary: the resolution of any reconcilable breakage is a PR to
groombook/infra, never a human-run command. This adds that contract explicitly.

devops/SKILL.md is now the canonical home for infrastructure lifecycle
(groombook/infra, single-branch main, Flux + OpenTofu controller, cluster
topology). sdlc/SKILL.md is scoped to application code (3-branch dev/uat/main,
Phases 1-5, Stage 1 CI image build, app-tool policy). Each skill cross-refs
the other and defers to coding-standards/safety for cross-cutting rules
rather than restating them.
Fixes in devops/SKILL.md:
- Rewrote frontmatter description (was a copy of sdlc, referenced phases
and dev/uat/prod that do not apply).
- Hoisted "applies to groombook/infra" to a top-level scope statement.
- Renumbered the pipeline (was 1,2,3,4,4,5,4,5,5) and fixed --base dev
-> --base main in the tea example.
- Closed an unterminated bold marker.
- Removed Authentication framework, Stage 1 image build, and the
"never tofu / never kubectl apply" lines (now cited from sdlc / safety).
- Trimmed the tools list to infra-only operators and controllers.
Trims in sdlc/SKILL.md:
- Removed Infrastructure topology, IaC, Stage 2 GitOps detail, the Flux
Image Automation DENIED policy, the "never tofu / never kubectl apply"
lines, and the External communication section (cited from devops /
safety / coding-standards instead).
- Trimmed the tools list to application-level dependency choices.
- Added a pointer from Phase 5 into the devops pipeline.
