feat(yaml): KYAML step 5 - migrate non-workflow YAML to KYAML (22 files) (#1193)

Step 5 of KYAML adoption (standards#1024): migrate estate-authored
non-bot YAML files to KYAML format.

- Converted 22 non-workflow YAML files across standards repo
- Used yq -o kyaml via scripts/kyaml-format.sh
- Preserves all comments per yaml-comment-proof (standards#1021)
- Added missing SPDX headers to 3 files
- All files now pass kyaml-format.sh --check

KYAML adoption ruled by D280: 'KYAML everywhere, workflows included.'

## Summary

<!-- What does this PR do, and why? -->

Closes #

## Type of change

- [ ] 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] 💥 Breaking change (would change existing behaviour)
- [ ] 🕳️ Soundness fix (fixes a checker/proof false-negative)
- [ ] 📖 Documentation
- [ ] 🧹 Refactor / tech debt (behaviour-preserving)
- [ ] ⚡ Performance
- [ ] 🔧 Build / CI / tooling

## How has this been verified?

<!-- Establish ground truth: which tool did you RUN, and what did it
report?
     Don't cite a status doc — cite the command and its output. -->

## Checklist

- [ ] My commits are **signed** (`git commit -S`).
- [ ] I ran the project's own checks/tests locally and they pass.
- [ ] New files carry the correct `SPDX-License-Identifier` (code/config
`MPL-2.0`,
      prose `CC-BY-SA-4.0`); I did not relicense existing files.
- [ ] Docs are updated, and no public claim now overstates what the code
does.
- [ ] I have not introduced a soundness hole (or I have flagged where I
might have).

## Notes for reviewers

<!-- Anything that needs special attention, follow-up, or context. -->
