<issue_title>[refactoring] [skill] Create shared/guard-otlp.md bundle for 7 workflows using github-guard-policy + otlp only</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Overview

7 workflows import exactly shared/github-guard-policy.md + shared/otlp.md with no other shared components. Following the pattern of shared/reporting-otlp.md, a new shared/guard-otlp.md bundle would let these workflows collapse two imports into one — and ensure new guard-requiring workflows always include telemetry.

Additionally, 8 more workflows use guard + reporting + otlp; these could migrate to guard + reporting-otlp.md (2 imports instead of 3).

Priority

Medium — 15 workflows affected, very low extraction complexity

Affected Workflows

Exact (guard + otlp) — 7 workflows:

• daily-doc-updater.md
• smoke-agent-public-approved.md
• smoke-agent-scoped-approved.md
• stale-repo-identifier.md
• weekly-blog-post-writer.md
• weekly-safe-outputs-spec-review.md
• workflow-generator.md

Can use guard + reporting-otlp.md — 8 workflows:

• auto-triage-issues.md
• discussion-task-miner.md
• issue-arborist.md
• issue-triage-agent.md
• org-health-report.md
• smoke-copilot-aoai-apikey.md
• smoke-copilot-aoai-entra.md
• smoke-copilot.md

Estimated Impact

• 7 workflows reduced from 2 imports to 1
• 8 workflows reduced from 3 imports to 2
• Total: 15 import lines removed
• Ensures every guard-policy workflow is auto-enrolled in OTLP telemetry

Proposed Shared Component

Create .github/workflows/shared/guard-otlp.md:

---
# GitHub guard policy + OTLP telemetry bundle
# Use for workflows that need community-contributor approval labels AND telemetry.
#
# Usage:
#   imports:
#     - shared/guard-otlp.md

imports:
  - shared/github-guard-policy.md
  - shared/otlp.md
---

Migration Plan

1. Create shared/guard-otlp.md with the content above.
2. In the 7 exact-match workflows, replace:

   imports:
     - shared/github-guard-policy.md
     - shared/otlp.md

   with:

   imports:
     - shared/guard-otlp.md

3. In the 8 guard+reporting+otlp workflows, replace:

   imports:
     - shared/github-guard-policy.md
     - shared/reporting.md
     - shared/otlp.md

   with:

   imports:
     - shared/github-guard-policy.md
     - shared/reporting-otlp.md

4. Run make recompile and verify compiled output.

Example Usage

imports:
  - shared/guard-otlp.md
  # other workflow-specific imports
