feat(land): enqueue-and-return default + first-time trunk.io onboarding

On a merge queue, /land now enqueues the PR and returns by default, so you can
/land a stack of ready PRs and walk away while the queue lands them. --watch
opts into the blocking poll (and is what /land-and-deploy uses, since it deploys
the result). No-queue repos still merge synchronously.

Also: /land explains in plain English what a merge queue is and what it'll do
before submitting (teacher mode on first encounter), and when no queue is
configured it offers to set trunk.io up and hand-holds the whole flow. The
onboarding lives in one shared {{MERGE_QUEUE_SETUP}} resolver included by both
/land and /setup-deploy (DRY).

Atomic .tmpl + gen:skill-docs regen. The postfail-ordering test is updated in
the same commit because 4.3 was renamed (Wait -> enqueue/watch); it now matches
the section number so the rename stays bisect-clean.

### Set up a merge queue with trunk.io (first-time, hand-held)
**What a merge queue is, in plain English.** Normally you merge one PR, wait for
it to land, merge the next, wait again — babysitting a line of PRs into the base
branch one at a time. A **merge queue** flips that: you *enqueue* each ready PR
and walk away. Trunk tests them (in parallel, and **optimistically** — a later PR
that already contains an earlier change can rescue it from a flaky failure) and
**lands them on the base branch for you**, in a safe order. You queue ten PRs in
a row, close your laptop, and they all make it onto the base branch without you.
That is exactly the workflow this unlocks: `/land` on each PR, then go do
something else.
**Before you start:** this needs a trunk.io account (the free tier covers small
teams) and admin access to the GitHub repo. It's a one-time setup. I'll walk each
step and explain *why*, and verify what I can with `gh`.
**Step 1 — Create / sign in to trunk.io.**
Open https://app.trunk.io and sign in with GitHub. *(Why: the queue config and
dashboard live in Trunk's web app, not in your repo — there's no `trunk.yaml`
merge section to commit.)*
**Step 2 — Install the Trunk GitHub App on this repo.**
In app.trunk.io → **Merge Queue****Create New Queue** → install the GitHub
App, select this repo, approve permissions. *(Why: the App is what lets the
`trunk-io` bot test on throwaway branches and push the final merge. Mandatory —
nothing works without it.)*
Verify the App can see the repo:
```bash
gh api "/repos/<owner>/<repo>/installation" --jq '.app_slug' 2>/dev/null || echo "App not detected yet"
```
**Step 3 — Create a queue for this repo + base branch.**
In the same flow, pick this repo and target branch `<base>`, click **Create
Queue**. *(Why: a queue is scoped to one branch — you're queuing merges into
`<base>`.)*
**Step 4 — Adjust branch protection (3 changes).**
In GitHub → Settings → Branches → the `<base>` rule:
- **Allow the `trunk-io` bot to push to the protected branch.** *(Why: Trunk's
bot performs the actual merge; without push rights it can't land anything.)*
- **Disable "Require branches to be up to date before merging."** *(Why: Trunk
tests each PR against the others in the queue, so GitHub's own up-to-date gate
would fight it.)*
- **Exclude `trunk-merge/*` and `trunk-temp/*` from protection.** *(Why: those
are the throwaway branches Trunk tests on; protecting them blocks testing.)*
**Step 5 — Turn on the optimizations that make "queue many, walk away" real.**
In app.trunk.io → your repo → Merge Queue → Settings, enable:
- **Optimistic Merge Queue** + **Pending Failure Depth ≥ 1** — keeps testing
later PRs while an earlier one is in "pending failure," and auto-recovers when a
later PR proves the failure was a flake. *(Why: one flaky PR doesn't stall the
whole line.)*
- **Parallel** — non-overlapping PRs test in independent lanes at the same time.
*(Why: throughput; ten unrelated PRs don't go one-at-a-time.)*
- **Batching** — lands compatible PRs together with auto-bisection on failure.
*(Why: fewer CI runs, and a bad PR doesn't eject the whole batch.)*
- **Merge Method** — pick Squash / Merge Commit / Rebase to match your repo. *(Why:
it controls what the landed commit looks like; `/land` handles all three.)*
**Step 6 — Pick how PRs get enqueued.**
The simplest works immediately: commenting **`/trunk merge`** on a PR. `/land`
uses that by default — zero extra auth, because the GitHub App is already
installed. *(Optional upgrades: set an "enqueue by label" name in the web UI, run
`trunk login` to use the `trunk` CLI, or set `$TRUNK_API_TOKEN` for the REST
API — `/land` will prefer those when present.)*
**Step 7 — Persist the choice so I never ask again.**
I'll write `Merge queue: trunk` into a `## Merge Configuration` section of
CLAUDE.md. *(Why: `/land` reads it and skips detection from then on.)*
**Step 8 — Verify end-to-end.**
Open any test PR and run `/land`. You should see a **`Trunk Merge Queue
(<base>)`** check appear, move Queued → Testing → Merged, and the PR land on
`<base>` without you touching GitHub:
```bash
gh pr checks <test-pr> --json name,state | grep -i "Trunk Merge Queue" || echo "no queue check yet — recheck Steps 2-4"
```

Once this is done, the payoff: queue up all your ready PRs with `/land`, walk
away, and trunk lands them on `<base>` for you.
