Matt Pocock 8c2a4c554a wayfinder: tighten blocking rule, update GH/GL templates
Concision pass on the blocking rule (fold the "wherever the tracker has
one" clause into the fallback sentence; drop restatements). Bring the
GitHub and GitLab issue-tracker templates up to the same standard: the
GitHub template now carries the native issue-dependencies recipe and
frontier query; the GitLab template names the native /blocked_by link
(Premium/Ultimate) with the body-convention fallback.

patch

Sharpen Wayfinder's blocking rule to prefer the tracker's native dependency relationship, and update the GitHub and GitLab issue-tracker templates to match.

Native blocking is essential rather than cosmetic: it renders the frontier visually in the tracker's own UI, so the human sees what's takeable at a glance without opening the map. wayfinder's SKILL.md now states that preference and rationale; the GitHub template spells out the native issue-dependencies recipe (gh api .../dependencies/blocked_by, frontier query on issue_dependencies_summary.blocked_by), and the GitLab template names the native /blocked_by blocking link (Premium/Ultimate) with the body-convention fallback. Both keep the body fallback for trackers that lack native blocking.
