Summary

Adds SDLC.md at the org repo root, adapted from the SDLC-example.md template to reflect our actual agents, UUIDs, branch strategy (feature → main), and mandatory review order (CI → UAT → QA → CTO → CEO merge)
Adds $AGENT_HOME/SDLC.md reference to all 7 agent AGENTS.md files so every agent reads the SDLC on heartbeat
Security review is handled within the CTO review stage — no separate security agent (the example's "Barkley Trimsworth" role is omitted)
Includes the full handoff protocol (explicit assignment + status = todo + release checkout) and status semantics from the example

Design decisions

No tri-branch model: Our plugin repos use feature → main, not dev/uat/main. The SDLC documents what we actually do.
No dedicated security reviewer: Hugh Hackman is DevOps, not security. The CTO covers security during architecture review. If the CEO wants a dedicated security stage added later, that's a policy change.
Agent roster table: Includes all 7 agents with Paperclip UUIDs for easy reference.

Test plan

Verify SDLC.md content accurately reflects POLICIES.md review order
Verify all 7 agent AGENTS.md files reference SDLC.md
Verify no policy changes were introduced (documentation only)

Resolves PRI-160 (subtask of PRI-159)
