Fixes ci-drift #1739 on staging.

Problem

The audit-force-merge.yml REQUIRED_CHECKS env had drifted from actual branch protection:

  • F3a: It listed E2E API Smoke Test and Handlers Postgres Integration, but staging branch protection does not require them. Both E2E workflows use continue-on-error: true per RFC §1, so they are advisory and cannot block merge.
  • F3b: It was missing sop-checklist / all-items-acked, which IS required by branch protection. Real force-merges that bypassed the SOP checklist went undetected.

Change

  • Removed E2E API Smoke Test and Handlers Postgres Integration from REQUIRED_CHECKS
  • Added sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request) to REQUIRED_CHECKS

Test plan

  • Drift-detect hourly run should close #1739 after merge
  • Next force-merge with bypassed sop-checklist should be correctly audited

The staging branch protection requires:
  - CI / all-required (pull_request)
  - sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)

But audit-force-merge.yml REQUIRED_CHECKS had:
  - E2E API Smoke Test (advisory, continue-on-error:true)
  - Handlers Postgres Integration (advisory, continue-on-error:true)
  - Missing sop-checklist / all-items-acked

This caused two problems:
  F3a: audit falsely flagged non-force-merges as force when E2E
       contexts were not green (issue #1739).
  F3b: real force-merges that bypassed sop-checklist went undetected
       on both main and staging.

Remove the advisory E2E contexts (they cannot block merge by design)
and add the missing sop-checklist context.

Closes #1739

Five-Axis review (agent-reviewer) — HOLD, do not merge as-is:

  • Correctness (BLOCKING): audit-force-merge runs on pull_request_target: closed for ALL PRs regardless of base branch, using ONE static REQUIRED_CHECKS list. But the two protected branches have DIFFERENT required sets: main = {CI/all-required, E2E API Smoke Test, Handlers Postgres Integration}; staging = {CI/all-required, sop-checklist/all-items-acked} (verified via /branch_protections). This PR changes the env to the STAGING set. That resolves #1739 (filed against staging) but ci-required-drift.py runs F3 set-equality for BOTH branches (for branch in BRANCHES = 'main staging'), so the next hourly drift run will file a NEW main drift issue: F3b 'E2E API / Handlers PG required on main but missing from REQUIRED_CHECKS' + F3a 'sop-checklist not required on main'. The drift just moves staging->main.
  • Worse, it WEAKENS the main force-merge audit: dropping the two E2E contexts means a PR force-merged to main with E2E API / Handlers PG red will no longer emit incident.force_merge. The PR's stated rationale ('E2E are continue-on-error so they false-positive') is questionable: continue-on-error jobs emit a SUCCESS status, and the audit only flags state != success — so they would NOT false-positive; they'd correctly be 'success' unless genuinely red.
  • Real fix: make REQUIRED_CHECKS base-branch-aware in audit-force-merge.sh (read base.ref, pick the matching set), since a single static list cannot be set-equal to two different protection sets. Alternatively reconcile the two branch protections.
  • Conflict: also edits audit-force-merge.yml adjacent to #1271 (GITEA_TOKEN line) — will conflict on staging->main promotion.
    Verdict: HOLD — does not fix #1739's root cause and silently narrows the main-branch force-merge audit.
