Clean docs-only PR. The checklist covers the right failure modes from the self-merge audit — particularly "latest CI for the exact head commit" (not a stale run) and "fresh CI after post-review rebase" which are easy to miss in practice.
The "I am not merging my own substantive PR" checkbox is a good social guardrail even without branch protection enforcement.
LGTM.

Addresses #482.
This adds an in-repo PR template checklist for the process failures identified in the self-merge audit:
This does not replace branch protection or repository admin settings. It is a lightweight visible guardrail inside the repository so contributors and maintainers see the expected merge-readiness checks on every PR.
Validation:
