fix(sdk): clean up the package template

[MattDHill]

s9pk init-package copies projects/start-sdk/docs/package-template/ verbatim, so anything stale in it ships into every new service package. Two things were.

alerts

2.0.0 removed the manifest field with no compatibility alias, but the template kept scaffolding it:

alerts: { install: null, update: null, uninstall: null, restore: null, start: null, stop: null },

It survives tsc because setupManifest infers its parameter type from the argument rather than rejecting the key as an excess property — which is why it went unnoticed. Every package scaffolded since 2.0.0 carries a dead field, and a packager reading the scaffold has no way to tell it was removed.

The hello-world guard job

release.yml and tagAndRelease.yml each opened with a job that read the package id out of startos/manifest/index.ts so the release could skip itself when that id was hello-world:

guard:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  outputs: { id: "${{ steps.read.outputs.id }}" }
  ...
release:
  needs: guard
  if: needs.guard.outputs.id != 'hello-world'

That only ever protected the template's own lineage from publishing under hello-world. In a real package the condition is always true, so it buys nothing and costs an extra checkout job on every release. hello-world itself dropped it in ed0dca2; the template didn't follow.

No package in either registry has it — 0 of 258 release.yml / tagAndRelease.yml files across start9-registry, community-registry, needs-review and no-registry, multi-branch worktrees included. It exists only here.

Mirrors

Per the root AGENTS.md § Coupled changes, the template's workflows are one of three hand-maintained mirrors, alongside the reusable CI in .github/workflows/ and the examples in project-structure.md. Both of those were already clean — the template was the only copy that had drifted — so this also drops the commented-out FREE_DISK_SPACE input it carried in all three. Its workflows are now byte-identical to hello-world-startos's.

Notes

• No SDK source change; lib/ is untouched.
• 2.0.10 has no start-sdk/v2.0.10 origin tag, so the changelog entry goes under the existing unreleased heading.
• Found while rebuilding dojo-startos on SDK 2.0 from a fresh scaffold.
