Retire redundant Orchestrator release gating - #88
Merged

Conversation
Remove the dedicated release task playbook, PM and MCP tools, approval entrypoint, and GitHub workflow dispatch actuator. Explicit operator requests can now use the PM's ordinary shell and gh access to invoke an existing repository workflow without creating a second GedCode gate. Keep historical release command and event schemas, projection state, migration 053, persisted status rendering, and legacy configuration tolerance so databases from published versions continue to open. Preserve feature task idempotency across the tool schema change and cover legacy event replay, migration fixtures, and task cancellation.

Summary
This PR retires GedCode's internal Orchestrator release-task and release-approval workflow while
leaving the repository's actual GitHub Actions release pipeline completely unchanged.
After this change, a human can explicitly ask the Orchestrator PM to run an existing GitHub Actions
workflow. That current request is the publishing approval boundary, and the PM uses its ordinary
shell access plus
ghfor exactly the requested workflow, ref, and inputs. It no longer creates asecond GedCode release task, waits for a separate release gate, or routes the request through a
special dispatch actuator.
State before this PR
releasewas a registered Orchestrator task type with its own built-in playbook.releaseSourceTaskId,requestReleaseApproval, anddispatchReleasetools.and invoked
gh workflow runonly through that path.directly requested a workflow run.
This duplicated the repository release workflow, imposed an extra approval abstraction, and blocked
the PM from carrying out a direct operator request.
