ci(pipeline): guard integration/e2e jobs when LLM secrets unavailable

Add secret-guard steps to integration_tests and e2e_tests jobs that detect
missing LLM API keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY) and
short-circuit gracefully with a success conclusion when credentials are absent.

- integration_tests: guards ANTHROPIC_API_KEY + OPENAI_API_KEY
- e2e_tests: guards ANTHROPIC_API_KEY + OPENAI_API_KEY + GOOGLE_API_KEY
- Both jobs expose integration_secrets_present / e2e_secrets_present outputs
- status-check now accepts 'success' or 'skipped' for these two jobs
- docs/development/ci-cd.md: new section documenting the guard behavior

+Feature: CI Pipeline Secret Guard for Integration and E2E Tests
+  As a CI system
+  I want to guard integration and E2E test jobs against missing LLM API secrets
+  So that forked pull requests and external contributor PRs fail gracefully instead of timing out
+
+  Background:
+    Given the CI pipeline is configured with secret guards for integration and E2E jobs
+
+  Scenario: Integration tests guard detects missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+    When the integration_tests job runs without ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=false
+    And the nox integration_tests step is skipped
+    And the job completes with success
+
+  Scenario: Integration tests guard detects missing OPENAI_API_KEY
+    When the integration_tests job runs without OPENAI_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=false
+    And the nox integration_tests step is skipped
+    And the job completes with success
+
+  Scenario: Integration tests guard allows execution when both secrets present
+    When the integration_tests job runs with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=true
+    And the nox integration_tests step is executed
+    And the job result depends on test outcomes
+
+  Scenario: E2E tests guard detects missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+    When the e2e_tests job runs without ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=false
+    And the nox e2e_tests step is skipped
+    And the job completes with success
+
+  Scenario: E2E tests guard detects missing OPENAI_API_KEY
+    When the e2e_tests job runs without OPENAI_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=false
+    And the nox e2e_tests step is skipped
+    And the job completes with success
+
+  Scenario: E2E tests guard detects missing GOOGLE_API_KEY
+    When the e2e_tests job runs without GOOGLE_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=false
+    And the nox e2e_tests step is skipped
+    And the job completes with success
+
+  Scenario: E2E tests guard allows execution when all secrets present
+    When the e2e_tests job runs with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, and GOOGLE_API_KEY
+    Then the secret-guard step sets secrets_present=true
+    And the nox e2e_tests step is executed
+    And the job result depends on test outcomes
+
+  Scenario: Status check accepts skipped integration_tests result
+    When integration_tests job is skipped due to missing secrets
+    Then status-check job accepts the skipped result as passing
+    And branch protection is not blocked
+
+  Scenario: Status check accepts skipped e2e_tests result
+    When e2e_tests job is skipped due to missing secrets
+    Then status-check job accepts the skipped result as passing
+    And branch protection is not blocked
+
+  Scenario: Guard step failure blocks job execution
+    When the secret-guard step itself fails (e.g., mkdir error)
+    Then secrets_present output is not set
+    And the nox step is skipped
+    And the job fails on the guard step
+    And no silent error swallowing occurs
