ci(vercel): delegate app deploys to vercel

[RSO]

Summary

• Remove GitHub Actions Vercel CLI builds and deploys so kilocode-app and kilocode-global-app can deploy through Vercel Git Integration.
  • Allows us to redeploy from Vercel (helpful when changing ENV variables)
  • Allows us to switch to sensitive ENV variables in Vercel
• Stop pulling Vercel environment files in GitHub Actions so Vercel secrets can be marked sensitive.
• Keep production migrations in GitHub Actions using explicit migration secrets and preserve KiloClaw deploy routing.

Verification

• Probably want to see that tests work
• Need to enable git integration with a "wait for tests to complete" check

Reviewer Notes

• Add POSTGRES_MIGRATION_URL to the GitHub production environment before merging.
• Add DATABASE_CA to the GitHub production environment too if production Postgres requires it.
• Configure Vercel Deployment Checks for both app projects to require Deploy to Production / run-migrations before production aliasing.
• Vercel will still build before checks complete; Deployment Checks gate production promotion/aliasing.

WARNING: Production promotion is no longer serialized behind migrations

Once the deploy-app and deploy-global-app jobs are removed, this workflow stops providing any in-repo ordering between a main push and the Vercel production rollout. Unless both Vercel projects already have a deployment check wired to Deploy to Production / run-migrations, schema-dependent app code can be promoted before this job finishes and start reading the old database shape.
