fix(scripts): restore /sop-n/a directive removed by auto-merge

The merge commit inadvertently restored the branch's old sop-checklist.py (without /sop-n/a) instead of main's (with /sop-n/a). The /sop-n/a feature was added to main earlier today (mc#893). This fixes the auto-merge regression. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into local/stdio-rename

-"""OFFSEC-003 regression backstop — sanitize_a2a_result invariant across all A2A tool exit points.
-
-Scope
-----
-Every public callable in ``a2a_tools_delegation`` that returns peer-sourced content
-must pass its output through ``sanitize_a2a_result`` before returning to the agent
-context.  These tests inject boundary markers and control sequences from a
-mock-peer response and assert the returned value is the sanitized form.
-
-Test coverage for:
-  - ``tool_delegate_task``            — main sync path
-  - ``tool_delegate_task``            — queued-mode fallback path
-  - ``_delegate_sync_via_polling``    — internal polling helper
-  - ``tool_check_task_status``        — filtered delegation_id lookup
-  - ``tool_check_task_status``        — list of recent delegations
-
-Issue references: #491 (delegate_task), #537 (builtin_tools/a2a_tools.py sibling)
-
-Key sanitization facts (for test authors):
-  • _escape_boundary_markers: replaces "[A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]" with
-    "[/ A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]" and "[/A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]" with
-    "[/ /A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]". The escape form is "[/ " (bracket-space).
-    Assertion pattern: assert "[/ A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]" in result.
-  • Defense-in-depth injection escape patterns replace SYSTEM/OVERRIDE/
-    INSTRUCTIONS/IGNORE ALL/YOU ARE NOW with "[ESCAPED_*]" forms.
-  • Error path: when peer returns an error-prefixed string (starts with
-    _A2A_ERROR_PREFIX), the raw error text is included in the user-facing
-    "DELEGATION FAILED" message. This is intentional — errors from peers
-    are surfaced as errors, not as sanitized results.
