Write Integration Checklist for Third-Party Vault Deployments

[miss-yusrah]

Labels: documentation 200pts

Background:
docs/reference/INTEGRATION_CHECKLIST.md exists (14,000+ bytes). It needs a full review, update for all new features added in this wave, and restructuring into a format usable by enterprise teams doing formal deployment reviews.

Problem:
The current checklist is incomplete and unstructured for formal use. It was written before many features (multi-token support, compliance scoring, circuit breaker, governance snapshots) were added. Enterprise deployers need a sign-off format.

What "Done" Looks Like:

• Full rewrite of docs/reference/INTEGRATION_CHECKLIST.md with sign-off format
• Organized into phases: Pre-Deployment, Deployment, Post-Deployment, Ongoing Operations
• Each checklist item has: description, how-to-verify, who is responsible (Admin/Treasurer/DevOps), and a ☐ checkbox
• New sections covering features from this wave: multi-token setup, compliance baseline, circuit breaker threshold, keeper network setup, notification webhook configuration
• "Go/No-Go" decision matrix: conditions under which deployment should be halted
• Emergency contact template: who to call for contract issues, Stellar network issues, frontend issues
• Sign-off section: space for Admin, Treasurer, and Security Officer sign-offs

Key Files to Reference:

• docs/reference/INTEGRATION_CHECKLIST.md (existing file to update)
• docs/reference/DEPLOYMENT.md
• docs/reference/SECURITY.md

Constraints:

• Every checklist item must be independently verifiable (not subjective)
• "Go/No-Go" matrix must be unambiguous (no items requiring judgment calls)
• Format compatible with standard compliance frameworks (ISO 27001 style)

PR Must Include:

• Rewritten docs/reference/INTEGRATION_CHECKLIST.md
• All new features from this wave covered
• Sign-off template section
• Go/No-Go matrix
