feat: add template bootstrap workflow and setup guide

When creating a new repo from this template:
- template-bootstrap.yml runs on first push
- Creates standard labels (agent:*, priority:*, type:*)
- Enables security features (Dependabot, vuln alerts)
- Creates setup checklist issue
- TEMPLATE_SETUP.md guides customization

Files to customize: repos.yaml, CLAUDE.md, README.md
Delete TEMPLATE_SETUP.md when done.

# Template Setup Guide
You've created a new repo from the **core-devops** template. Follow these steps to customize it.
## Automated Setup
When you first push, the `template-bootstrap.yml` workflow will:
- ✅ Create standard labels (agent workflow, priorities, types)
- ✅ Enable security features (Dependabot, vulnerability alerts)
- ✅ Create a setup checklist issue
## Files to Customize
### Required Changes
| File | Action |
|------|--------|
| `repos.yaml` | Replace with your package registry or delete if single-repo |
| `CLAUDE.md` | Update with your project's architecture and commands |
| `README.md` | Replace with your project description |
| `package.json` | Update name, or delete if not using VitePress |
### Optional Changes
| File | Action |
|------|--------|
| `.coderabbit.yaml` | Customize review instructions for your codebase |
| `.core/workspace.yaml` | Update active package and settings |
| `doc/` | Replace with your documentation |
| `scripts/` | Keep if useful, or replace with your setup scripts |
| `Makefile` | Update targets for your workflow |
### Files to Delete (if not needed)
```bash
# If not using VitePress docs
rm -rf .vitepress doc package.json
# If not a multi-repo workspace
rm -rf packages repos.yaml .core/workspace.yaml
# This file (after reading!)
rm TEMPLATE_SETUP.md
```
## Secrets to Configure
If using the auto-project workflow:
```bash
# Org-level secret (already set if in host-uk org)
gh secret set PROJECT_TOKEN --org YOUR_ORG --visibility all
```
## Branch Strategy
The template uses `dev` as the default branch:
- `dev` - Development (default, PRs merge here)
- `main` - Production releases
To switch to `main`-only:
```bash
gh repo edit --default-branch main
```
## Adding to Org Projects
```bash
# Add repo's issues to a project when labeled
gh workflow run auto-project.yml
```
## Verification Workflow
The template includes the agent verification workflow:
```
agent:ready → agent:wip → agent:review → verified/verify-failed
```
This enforces the rule: **no agent can verify their own work**.

Delete this file once setup is complete:
```bash
rm TEMPLATE_SETUP.md && git add -A && git commit -m "chore: complete template setup"
