Closes #41

Session: 1

Documents the auto-delete-on-merge trap and the 2026-07-19 develop-protection fix.

Key points: auto-delete stays ON fleet-wide (correct for feature branches); the protection rule is deliberately permissive (enable_push: true, 0 approvals, no status checks) so it restricts nothing except deletion; hiveops-deploy excluded as archived (423); the guard is by-name, so other long-lived integration branches used as PR heads are still exposed.

Includes a before/after table and the curl to apply it elsewhere.

docs(platform.ci-cd): branch lifecycle — auto-delete vs protected develop a59a29d490

Auto-delete-head-branch-on-merge is on fleet-wide and is correct for
feature branches, but on a develop->main release PR the head IS develop,
so it deleted develop itself (hit hiveops-agent twice). Documents the
2026-07-19 fix: a deliberately permissive protection rule on develop in
41/42 repos that blocks deletion and nothing else, why hiveops-deploy is
excluded, and that the guard is by-name so other integration branches
need the same treatment.
