Document Goal contributor verification and protected publication

[tom-sapletta-com]

Contributors lacked a repository-specific route for validating and publishing Goal changes under its active server protections. Add an indexed runbook with runnable checks, protected publication, stale-base and dependency recovery, and explicit migration requirements.

Validation and publication completed:

• Local: 743 product tests passed (2 existing skips), 14 publication-policy tests passed, governance and Compose validation passed, full live main-protection readback passed.
• GitHub PR matrix: 738 product tests plus 14 policy tests passed on each Python version (3.12 and 3.13; 7 environment skips each). Both required governance checks passed.
• Real deployed OneDev canary: 742 product tests passed on each Python version (3 environment skips each). The protected wrapper also executes the publication-policy suite. Status onedev/local-verify succeeded at 2026-09-08T17:11:28.148912Z for head 495cd73dedb59487c6819585d6f2f15f79af5067, main 64e433beccfb94d3bdd9cb28309f4e8dacd86b09, profile digest c6bbac4bdce611fec0ad6472a0ae3dee775628b3bb8c19ce7036988d943aeb0f, on deployed executor image sha256:f25d028218b9c1842c3da694e818b40cea480fe633ca42d7778b87a3f68f7f9a.
• Independent local Validator approved exact head (review 5144836894), merged as 1360d7ef6b02b233708933af83edaf9f53d8840d, and deleted the remote ticket branch.
• Post-merge CI matrix passed: https://github.com/semcod/goal/actions/runs/34255843196 . Local main is fast-forwarded; governance and full live protection readback passed again. The existing primary ticket-index edits were preserved byte-for-byte; this ticket's released worktree and branch were removed.

The canonical runbook is docs/information/contributor-verification.md. Document metadata, sections and links are valid. Remaining gaps are explicitly separate: the missing documentation adoption pin/protected checker, seven standard-pack declarations reported by audit mode, and protected review of any future required-check migration. This run confirms a fresh local canary but retires no existing server gate.

Operational follow-up: the local advisory change lease expired during the queue/validation wait; its post-merge transition was rejected, then the expired lease was released without backfilling approval history. Add heartbeat renewal during long waits. Trusted publication authority remains the independent Validator report and server-bound exact-head review.
