fix(ci): three CI blockers — dead rsr-antipattern ref, K9 gap, placeholder FP (#23)

## Summary

Fixes the three CI blockers keeping the estate's PR queue stuck, as
diagnosed for this repo (full per-blocker root-cause detail is in the
commit message):

- **lint-workflows** (unpinned action, `rsr-antipattern.yml:15`): the
  referenced reusable (`rsr-antipattern-reusable.yml`) has never
  existed on `hyperpolymath/standards`. It's dead, retired estate-wide
  per `docs/audits/audit-reusables-convergence-2026-05-26.adoc`, and
  superseded by `governance.yml` (already present here). Deleted
  rather than pinned to an unresolvable reference.
- **Validate K9 contracts** (8 errors / 10 files): 6 were a shared
  `k9-ecosystem/validate-action` scope bug, fixed at the source in
  hyperpolymath/k9-ecosystem#21 (with a local stopgap override here).
  The remaining 2 were a genuine `container/deploy.k9.ncl` defect
  (missing `K9!` line, pedigree hidden behind a let-binding, PLUS
  leftover un-instantiated `{{SERVICE_NAME}}`/`{{REGISTRY}}`/`{{PORT}}`
  tokens) — fixed directly.
- **openssf-compliance**: false-positived on `ECOSYSTEM.a2ml`'s `notes`
  field, which documented the `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` mechanism using the
  literal token shape. Reworded (same false-positive class as
  hypatia#243).

## Test plan

- [x] `bash validate-action/validate-k9.sh` (k9-ecosystem, with the
      new paths-ignore) → `Errors: 0` (was 8)
- [x] `grep -rnE '^[[:space:]]+uses:' .github/workflows/ | grep -v
'@[a-f0-9]{40}'`
      → empty (was 1 match)
- [x] Reproduced the openssf-compliance placeholder-check step locally
      → 0 files flagged (was 1)
- [x] `python3 -c "import tomllib; tomllib.load(...)"` on the edited
      `.a2ml` files → parses clean
- [x] All touched/remaining workflow YAML parses via `yaml.safe_load`
      (pre-existing, unrelated `e2e.yml` parse error noted separately,
      not touched by this PR)
