Renames the taught lane from the deprecated direct-to-main alias to Ward's canonical merge-remote-main in AGENTS.md and the composed coding-core-git-workflow skill.

Verified against ward agent --help on v0.879.0. 25 of 34 active repos already declare merge-remote-main, which neither document named.

Scope is the vocabulary only. The wider prose / ward-key / branch-protection drift the fleet sweep surfaced is tracked in #994 and needs decisions plus operator authority.

Ward's enum is merge-remote-main | pull-request | pull-request-and-merge |
remote-branch-only, defaulting to merge-remote-main. Both AGENTS.md and the
composed coding-core-git-workflow skill taught direct-to-main, which Ward
accepts only as a deprecated alias and warns on, and neither named
merge-remote-main at all despite 25 of 34 active repos declaring it.

Verified against `ward agent --help` on v0.879.0 and by round-tripping a
ward.yaml through `ward doctor`, which emits the deprecation warning.

Both files sit near the documentation-layout cap, so the alias detail lives
in the tracking issue rather than inline.

Scope is the vocabulary only. The prose/config/branch-protection conflicts
the fleet sweep surfaced need decisions or operator authority.
