Closes #53 after merge.

Policy

master is the sole long-lived canonical development branch.
all new feature/fix/research/hotfix branches start from current master.
all normal pull requests target master.
dev is retired/deprecated and receives no new work.

Checked-in changes

add docs/development.org with the permanent branch invariant and merge/test policy;
remove dev from normal Smoke and Container Stack push/PR filters;
constrain schema-lock PRs to master and remove its dev push filter;
operational-salvage was already moved to master PRs as part of #99 because otherwise the reconciliation could not run that gate.

The special schema-lock agent/** push trigger remains as a direct branch test hook; it is not an integration target. Normal PRs still target master.

Historical PR disposition

#95 remains valid and will be retargeted/refreshed onto master after this policy PR lands. #79 remains a separate AGPL legal/contributor-permission review and is not folded into runtime work.
