Add two new glossary entries from weekly scan: - `gh aw env`: CLI command for managing GH_AW_DEFAULT_* variables at enterprise, org, and repo scope. Added to Development and Compilation section, based on the governance guide introduced in #41758. - `GH_AW_POLICY_*`: Runtime Policy Variables family that enforce capability gates without recompiling workflows (e.g., GH_AW_POLICY_ALLOW_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST). Added near GH_AW_DEFAULT_* in Advanced Features section, based on #41771. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
