Remove roadmap-placement guidance from ticket-create

Context

The ticket-create workflow contained roadmap-placement guidance inside the issue-creation skill. The operator corrected the boundary on 2026-06-25: roadmap placement is planning work, not ticket creation. During #14011 creation, stale placement guidance caused an incorrect extra action that had to be undone.

Live latest-open sweep: checked the latest 20 open issues and the A2A in-flight mailbox before filing; no equivalent correction ticket was found.

The Problem

ticket-create should govern issue substance: duplicate sweep, title hygiene, labels, Fat Ticket shape, lifecycle follow-ups, and authorship discipline. It should not encode roadmap placement policy. Keeping that policy in the skill makes the rule stale whenever roadmap planning changes.

The Architectural Reality

• .agents/skills/ticket-create/SKILL.md is the lightweight router and should stay unchanged.
• .agents/skills/ticket-create/references/ticket-create-workflow.md owns the issue-creation payload.
• Roadmap placement belongs to the planning/release workflow, not this skill.

The Fix

Remove roadmap-placement guidance from the ticket-create payload instead of replacing it with another planning rule.
