Subject: [PATCH] chore(governance): remove non-functional
 .hypatia-baseline.json trigger

The 'Validate Hypatia Baseline' job in governance-reusable.yml never
actually reads this file's content to filter findings -- it fails on
ANY raw hypatia-scan finding, full stop. The file's presence only
flips the job's has_baseline trigger on, so keeping an empty/inert
baseline here just forces a permanently-failing gate with no
diagnostic value.

Removing it unblocks PRs (incl. #448) until the underlying gate is
fixed properly -- see the tracking issue for the estate-wide version
of this bug (affects 15 repos with a populated .hypatia-baseline.json
whose content is silently never consulted).
