feat(governance): add inst_029-inst_035 for value pluralism

- inst_029: Foundational Pluralism (no automatic value ranking)
- inst_030: Legitimate Disagreement (valid outcome when incommensurable)
- inst_031: Moral Remainder (document what's lost in decisions)
- inst_032: Provisional Decisions (reviewable when context changes)
- inst_033: Multi-stakeholder Facilitation (AI facilitates, humans decide)
- inst_034: Cultural Communication Adaptation (linguistic equity)
- inst_035: Precedent Database (informative, not binding)

All HIGH persistence in STRATEGIC quadrant
Supports PluralisticDeliberationOrchestrator implementation

User directive: 'create a rule to NEVER overwrite existing rules unless they are changes to that rule approved by human and ensure the rules are synced between dev and production at all times'. Instruction management protocol: instructions are HIGH-persistence governance data that MUST be protected from accidental modification and kept consistent across environments. Without sync, production sessions would operate under different rules than dev sessions, creating governance drift and unpredictable behavior. This instruction ensures: (1) No accidental overwrites, (2) Human oversight for changes, (3) Consistent governance between environments."

Rationale: Framework concepts and research should be public for AI safety community, but production implementation details must remain private to prevent reconnaissance attacks and infrastructure exploitation.
