Summary

Add a deployment ordering table to policy/README.md documenting the critical install sequence and the silent staff_t fallback that occurs when the context file is missing.

Why

The most common deployment issue is missing step 3 (context file). There is no error, no log entry, and no warning — users log in successfully but run in staff_t with zero kernel deny enforcement. This table makes the ordering explicit and warns about the silent failure mode.

Test plan

  • README renders correctly on GitHub
  • Table matches actual deployment steps verified on RHEL 10

Companion to PR #1 which automates steps 2 and 3 in make install.

Document the critical install sequence and the silent staff_t fallback
that occurs when the context file is missing. This is the most common
deployment issue — everything appears to work but confinement is absent.
