Clarify safe-outputs MCP tool invocation in workflow instructions

[Copilot]

CI Cleaner workflow failed with no safe outputs generated. Agent misinterpreted "use the create_pull_request tool" as file I/O, writing JSON to /tmp/gh-aw/safeoutputs/ instead of invoking the MCP tool at /opt/gh-aw/safeoutputs/outputs.jsonl.

Changes

hourly-ci-cleaner.md:

• Changed ambiguous "use the tool" → "Call the create_pull_request MCP tool (from safe-outputs MCP server)"
• Added explicit warning against manual JSON file writes
• Fixed parameter casing: Title/Body → title/body (matches MCP schema)
• Consolidated redundant execution guideline bullets

daily-doc-updater.md:

• Applied same clarifications for consistency
• Added warning against using GitHub MCP server's create_pull_request (different tool)

Example change:

-2. Use the `create_pull_request` tool with:
-   - **Title**: Clear description
-   - **Body**: Detailed description
+2. **Call the `create_pull_request` MCP tool** (from safe-outputs MCP server) with:
+   - **title**: Clear description
+   - **body**: Detailed description
+
+**Important**: Do NOT write JSON to files manually. Use the MCP tool by calling it directly.
