REQ-012: Re-certification check never auto-updates the stamp

Requirement

The automated re-certification check shall never silently update the compliance stamp on drift.

Rationale

Automation overwriting the stamp on drift risks asserting compliance that was never actually re-verified by a human.

Fit Criterion

standards-compliance-recheck.yml only ever opens/updates a tracking issue on drift; it has no code path that writes to docs/architecture/standards-compliance.md.

Verification

Code review of standards-compliance-recheck.yml's "Flag Re-certification Due" step, which only calls New-HumanEscalation.ps1.
