Add a deprecation policy for TeachLink Backend #1622

Description

@RUKAYAT-CODER

Background

The Governance/ folder does not yet include a Governance/policies/DEPRECATION.md document. This is a governance gap: contributors and maintainers lack a clear, versioned reference for this area of governance. Adding the document closes the gap and keeps the change self-contained within the Governance folder.

Implementation Plan

  • Create Governance/policies/DEPRECATION.md and document the deprecation notice period.
  • Specify the communication channels.
  • Define the removal criteria.
  • Add regression tests where applicable
  • Document the change

Acceptance Criteria

  • Governance requirement is implemented successfully
  • Scope is limited to a maximum of two files
  • No changes are made outside the Governance folder
  • No regression in existing functionality
  • Tests pass and code follows project standards
  • Change is documented
