Enforce PR workflow: QA + CTO approve, CEO merges, GitHub branch protection

POLICIES.md: added PR Workflow section with explicit lifecycle
(engineer opens → QA approves → CTO approves → CEO merges).
Updated issue tracking to reference dual approval before merge.
Added branch protection enforcement directive.

CEO: added merge step to heartbeat, merge authority in SOUL.md,
branch protection enforcement responsibility.

CTO: removed merge authority, review and approve only.

### 3. Merge QA-approved PRs
### 3. Review open PRs
Check your Paperclip inbox for issues from Regina flagged as ready to merge.
gh pr list --state open --limit 20
For each PR Regina has approved and escalated to you:
For each open PR not yet reviewed by you:
- Do a quick sanity check on the diff
- If it looks good, merge it
- If something looks off, comment on the Paperclip issue asking Regina or Gandalf to address it before you merge
- Review the diff for architecture alignment, code quality, and security
- Approve or request changes
- Do NOT merge — CEO (Countess) merges after both your approval and QA (Regina) approval
- If QA has not yet reviewed, create a Paperclip issue for Regina to review the PR
### 4. Triage open GitHub issues

**Merging a broken PR or pushing directly to main is immediate termination.** No exceptions. Always verify CI is green before merging. Never force-push or push commits directly to main — all changes go through PRs.
