chore(decisions): record the CI reading, and why the metrics policy is NOT here

Follow-up to the branch's one substantive commit; no code change.

CI on 99560c2d, read from the commit's /statuses rather than from a tick:
  gate / gate (pull_request)         state=failure   desc='Failing after 1m44s'
  gate / conformance (pull_request)  state=pending   desc='Blocked by required conditions'
The second line is PENDING, not the `success` + "Has been skipped" trap -- the
conformance job is gated on the gate job, which failed, so it never ran.

MY LOCAL `approval-policy: green` WAS MEANINGLESS AND I NEARLY REPORTED IT AS
EVIDENCE. ci/approval-policy.sh:47 reads GITHUB_EVENT_NAME, unset outside CI, so
it short-circuits to "N/A": a clean local gate STRUCTURALLY cannot catch a
sensitive-path problem. Verified by re-running with
GITHUB_EVENT_NAME=pull_request PR_NUMBER=34, where the stage evaluates and fails
CLOSED on the missing token while every other stage stays green -- which bounds
the CI failure to that one stage. I could NOT read CI's job log to confirm it
from CI's own output: this Gitea answers 404 on /actions/runs and on
/actions/jobs/{task}/logs, so only /actions/tasks is available. Attribution
therefore rests on the local reproduction plus the sensitive-path rule, not on
CI's log -- weaker evidence than PR #28 had, named rather than papered over.

Branch protection and the runner re-measured against the live API (CLAUDE.md
2b), not inherited from the CLAUDE.md table: protected=True,
user_can_push=False, enable_status_check=True, contexts=['gate / gate
(pull_request)'], required_approvals=1; runner id=1 incluster-dind online. So a
human is required on every PR here regardless of path. I did NOT provoke a
rejected push to main, so user_can_push is the API's word only.

DECLINED, with reasons: bundling Ines Dubois's metrics-ingress NetworkPolicy.
The coordinator asked for my judgement and the answer is to queue it as the next
PR, not to drop it. Principally because it is a MODEL question, not a policy to
bolt on: schema 1.6.0's observability.metricsEndpoint already renders the
monitoring-namespace ingress allow, and what the model cannot express is a
SECOND metrics endpoint belonging to a sidecar the RENDERER injected. Keying a
bespoke policy off the pod label auth-mode=forward-auth hardcodes "forward-auth
implies 44180" instead of deriving it -- the "list, don't derive" anti-pattern
oauth2-proxy-cookie-names-distinct assertion (5) forbids, one directory from the
check that forbids it. Also: it is a trust-boundary ingress allow and a
different requirement set (R-NET-01/02, R-OBS-01 vs R-IDP-02), so it should not
be reviewed in the shadow of an --api-route headline; the conflict argument does
not apply to my diff, which regenerates TWO goldens not five, and a
CiliumNetworkPolicy is a different document in files git merges independently;
every fact in the finding is hers and I have measured none of it; and the
PodMonitor it serves is in HER PR #29, so shipping the policy alone would open
an ingress allow for a scraper that selects nothing.

Also records that the sidecars' metrics remain UNSCRAPABLE and that this branch
does not change that.
