docs(ci): writer-level trust boundary stated everywhere; serial note counts four references

- Sweep every remaining 'admin-only' claim (workflow comments, runbook
  lines 13/40, topology note, all zh pairs): the variable is
  writer-manageable, and the boundary against untrusted code is
  repository membership (private, forking disabled, Dependabot
  excluded) — stated identically at every site instead of only in the
  'who can flip' paragraph.
- Serial cross-platform reference note (both languages): master now
  runs four references — the three hosted OS legs plus the self-hosted
  standby drill, linked to the failover runbook.
Static gate green locally: 32 passed, 0 failed.

## Decision
Each of the three required Linux worker jobs — and the `all checks passed` verdict job, which would otherwise stay queued on the failed pool even after every worker passed — resolves its runner pool through the `DSH_CI_FAILOVER` repository variable. Unset (normal), they run on the hosted enterprise pools. Set to `selfhosted` by a repository admin, all four retarget onto the in-house self-hosted `vm-backup` pool, coverage and snapshot concurrency drop to shared-VM bounds, and the hosted-path pnpm cache restores are skipped. The switch is admin-only repository state, not a merge, so it works while every check is red. The in-house pool's readiness is continuously re-proven by the `serial / linux (self-hosted standby)` lane, which runs the complete unsharded aggregate on every master push.

### Trust boundary
The variable is repository-admin-only state: a pull request can neither set it nor read a different value into effect, and the expressions live in the base branch's workflow definition. This failover path therefore adds no PR-editable route to the self-hosted pool. Runner-side enforcement — an org-level runner group restricting these runners to the master-ref workflow — is tracked separately and composes with this mechanism.
The variable is writer-manageable repository state; a pull request event itself can neither set it nor read a different value into effect, and the selector expressions live in workflow definitions. Note that under failover, `pull_request` runs execute the PR merge ref's own workflow definition — the boundary against untrusted code is repository membership (private, forking disabled, Dependabot excluded by the selectors), not the variable.
