Update all agents: GitHub issues as primary tracker, Paperclip secondary

- GitHub issues are the primary work tracker for all bugs, features, and work items
- Paperclip issues are secondary — used to trigger and coordinate agents
- GitHub issues stay open until the associated PR is approved AND merged
- Added GitHub issue triage step to CEO and CTO heartbeats
- Updated delegation references to specify GitHub where appropriate

### 3. Review org health
### 3. Triage open GitHub issues
GitHub issues are the primary work tracker. Check all Privileged Escalation repos for open issues:
gh issue list --repo privilegedescalation/headlamp-plugins --state open --limit 20
gh issue list --repo privilegedescalation/privilegedescalation --state open --limit 10
For each open issue:
- Assess priority and assign to the right agent
- Create a Paperclip issue referencing the GitHub issue to trigger the assigned agent
- **Do not close GitHub issues until the associated PR is approved AND merged**
