docs(kernel-e2e): refresh workflow header — setup is done, queue is live (#809)

vikrantpuppala · web-flow · commit aeb655c62592 · 2026-05-27T10:07:44.000Z
The "Required external setup" block read like a TODO list, but every item on it is in place after #808 landed and the main ruleset was updated with required_status_checks + merge_queue. Reword as a "things this depends on (debugging crib)" and add the ruleset note so future readers know why the merge_group path matters. Also serves as a low-risk pilot PR for exercising the new merge queue end-to-end — comments-only diff, no behavioral change.
