security: remove leaked n8n API key and repair SSOT references #28

Description

@Delqhi

Summary

The OpenSIN-overview SSOT currently exposes a plaintext n8n API key in repo docs and contains stale SSOT references/counters.

Confirmed problems

  • README exposed a plaintext n8n API key in the CI/CD section
  • docs/best-practices/ci-cd-n8n.md also exposed the same plaintext key
  • repository totals in README and registry/MASTER_INDEX were inconsistent with live org API data
  • README referenced rules.md even though the file was missing on the default branch

Required fix

  • remove plaintext credentials and replace them with secret references / rotation guidance
  • reconcile README and MASTER_INDEX counts with live org state
  • restore the missing rules.md artifact so local SSOT links resolve
  • extend MASTER_INDEX until its indexed repo set matches the live GitHub organization exactly

Validation

  • no plaintext n8n API key remains in repo docs
  • README, MASTER_INDEX, and live org counts are internally consistent
  • all linked local SSOT files exist on the default branch
