revert(qa-lab): remove scenario github traceability metadata

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -12,7 +12,6 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - QA-Lab: add curated mock JSONL replay fixtures and first-drift reporting for runtime-parity audits. (#80323, refs #80176) Thanks @100yenadmin.
 - QA-Lab: include the optional 100-turn runtime parity soak in release-soak artifacts so long-run Codex/Pi transcript drift stays visible outside the default gate. (#80395) Thanks @100yenadmin.
 - QA-Lab: add a personal-agent failure recovery scenario that checks honest partial status, retry boundaries, and local recovery artifacts. (#83872) Thanks @iFiras-Max1.
-- QA-Lab: add GitHub issue evidence metadata to audited runtime scenarios so parity and tool-fixture coverage links back to the source threads.
 - QA-Lab: include an opt-in `update.run` package self-upgrade sentinel for destructive latest-package recovery checks.
 - Tests/perf: isolate doctor core health check unit coverage from real skills/workspace discovery so `doctor-core-checks` no longer dominates unit perf while keeping one real skills-readiness smoke. (#84493) Thanks @frankekn.
