chore(board): revive dormant board wiring — research key, pitch flow, auditor playbooks (#684)

* chore(compose): pass research key/provider + provisioning token/org through to the orchestrator

ROBOCO_RESEARCH_API_KEY / ROBOCO_RESEARCH_PROVIDER and ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_TOKEN /
ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_ORG were absent from every compose environment stanza, so .env
values never reached the container: research silently ran on the NullProvider
(empty results forever) and any approved pitch died on ProvisioningDisabledError.
.env.example also falsely claimed the provisioning creds are panel-managed.

* feat(board): pitch CEO notification + auditor playbook-draft surfacing

A proposed pitch now nudges the CEO (APPROVAL notification + Telegram link to the
Pitches tab, best-effort — a send failure never fails the verb). auditor_triage
surfaces the oldest pending playbook draft once anomalies are clear — the curation
verbs were granted but nothing ever pointed the Auditor at the review queue; the
scheduled audit prompt names the discovery path.

* docs(prompts): pitch doctrine section + auditor reply-only-dm drift fix

board.md never mentioned the pitch verb, so no board agent ever had a reason to
call it — it gets a dedicated section mirroring the roadmap/spotlight ones, plus
a roadmap-exploration escape hatch (needs-its-own-repo ideas pitch instead).
product-owner.md gains its missing propose_roadmap + pitch entries. The flat
'Auditor has no dm' claims are corrected to the real grant: never initiates,
reply-only in a CEO-opened thread. Doctrine guarded by a prompt-content test.

 ## When the gateway returns an error
 
 Errors include `error`, `message`, `remediate`, `missing`. Read `remediate` — it tells you the literal next call. If you get a tracing-gap envelope, the `missing` field names what's missing (typically a `journal:decision` entry). Fix that one piece and retry the same verb.
