C1: review CC observability-stack-audit (extend to k3s)

Browse source 
Recurring compensating-control review. Verified:

- alloy-k8s: Synced/Healthy on minikube-indri (DaemonSet 1/1 ready)
- alloy-ringtail: Synced/Healthy on k3s-ringtail
- loki (monitoring/loki-0): Running, receiving logs

The previous description named only minikube, but BlumeOps now runs two
clusters with the migration to ringtail in progress. Generalized the
description and notes to cover both, and added a follow-up note that
enabling native apiserver audit logging is much more tractable on k3s
than it was on minikube.

Verify Alloy DaemonSet is running and Loki is receiving logs. Verify Alloy DaemonSet is running on each cluster (alloy-k8s on
minikube, alloy-ringtail on k3s) and Loki is receiving logs.

Consider enabling minikube audit logging if supported. Consider enabling apiserver audit logging on k3s post-migration
(`--audit-log-path` / `--audit-policy-file`) — minikube made it
hard, k3s makes it straightforward.

Reviewed compensating control `observability-stack-audit`. Updated description to cover ringtail's k3s as well as indri's minikube; both Alloy DaemonSets and Loki are healthy.
