docs(skills): move uat→main merge-gate policy from coding-standards to sdlc

Reviewer feedback (COrtHvtYnuZx6DmhztGD50uGnKVJajPf): the merge-gate
policy is a process / SDLC rule, not a code-quality / coding-standard
rule, so it belongs in the sdlc skill.

  - skills/sdlc/SKILL.md: add new '## uat→main merge-gate policy'
    section after Phase 5 with the full policy, the three categories,
    the engineer workflow, and the 'when uncertain' escalation path.
    Update frontmatter description and intro paragraph to point at
    the new local section. Re-point the branch-strategy table row
    and Phase 4 step 3 at the local section.
  - skills/coding-standards/SKILL.md: remove the duplicate
    'uat→main merge-gate policy' section (it now lives in sdlc) and
    replace it with a one-paragraph pointer to sdlc. Update the
    frontmatter description to remove the policy bullet and add a
    'lives in sdlc, not here' line.

No behavior change: the policy content is identical, only its home
file moved. The PR is now an sdlc PR with a small coding-standards
follow-on, which matches the reviewer's point.

 **Policy — Flux Image Tag Automation is DENIED.** Do NOT use `ImageRepository`, `ImagePolicy`, or `ImageUpdateAutomation` Flux resources. Image tag updates must be made intentionally via a PR to `groombook/infra` — typically as the final step of the `sdlc` application pipeline (Phase 5).
 
-## When a cluster is broken: fix forward in git — never escalate a manual action
-
-The cluster is reconciled by controllers (Flux, the OpenTofu Controller, the Sealed Secrets controller). **Any change one of these controllers can reconcile MUST be delivered as a PR to `groombook/infra`** — it is never a board approval and never a hand-run `kubectl` / `kubeseal` / `tofu` command.
-
-This is the corollary of the read-only-prod and "no `kubectl apply` to production" rules in `safety`: agents are read-only on `groombook` **by design**, precisely because the write path is git. "I lack cluster-admin" therefore resolves to **"open a PR,"** not **"ask a human to run the command."**
-
-Contract:
-
-- **Do NOT** file an issue, board approval, or escalation that asks a human to run an imperative cluster command (`kubectl delete/apply/patch`, `kubeseal`, `flux reconcile`, `tofu apply`) that a controller would otherwise reconcile from git. That request is unfillable and wrong on a GitOps cluster — fix the desired state in the repo and let the controller converge.
-  - SealedSecret won't unseal / wrong scope → re-seal the `SealedSecret` and commit it.
-  - Missing or not-ready Flux `Receiver`, `Kustomization`, `Terraform`, RBAC, etc. → commit/correct the manifest in the overlay.
-  - Stale or wrong `sourceRef`, annotations, ownership → fix them declaratively in the overlay.
-- **A reconcile blocked on a pre-existing in-cluster object** (e.g. a `SealedSecret` the controller won't adopt because an unmanaged or Reflector-mirrored `Secret` already exists) is still solved declaratively: correct ownership/annotations in git so the controller adopts it. Only if **no controller can adopt the object** is a one-time imperative step justified — and then it is a single, specifically-scoped, reviewed exception stating the exact reason, **not** a multi-day approval queue standing in for missing engineering.
-- **Board approval is reserved** for genuinely irreversible or out-of-band actions no controller reconciles — destroying stateful data, rotating the cluster bootstrap, bootstrapping a brand-new cluster. Routine reconcilable breakage never qualifies. (See `safety` for destructive-action approval.)
-- The Flux bootstrap/cluster repo is **not** `groombook/infra` (see GitOps above). A genuinely missing `GitRepository` or other bootstrap object is a PR to that externally-managed cluster-config repo — still a PR, still not a hand-run apply.
-
-If you are about to write "escalated to board — a human must run …" for a reconcilable change, stop: that is the failure mode, not the fix. Open the PR.

 ## Infrastructure as Code
 
 Terraform (OpenTofu) is deployed via the **Flux OpenTofu Controller** in a GitOps fashion. Submit Terraform configurations via a PR to `groombook/infra` — the tofu controller reconciles them on merge. See `safety` for the prohibition on running `tofu` directly and on `kubectl apply` against production.
