CI: a gate job over every job, and which legs it requires #71

Open

Description

@CaffeinatedCoder

Problem

main requires Test (ubuntu-latest), Pack, Consumer smoke test and Labels and issue link. None of these is required:

A red leg does not block a merge. In the last 60 PR runs, Probe replay (http) failed 6 times, Probe status 7 times and Test (windows-latest) 3 times. GitHub also reports any skipped job as Success on a required check, so the required list cannot tell an intended skip from an accidental one.

Change

  • Add a CI job that needs every other job, runs with if: always(), and passes only when:
    • Changes succeeded
    • every selected job succeeded
    • every unselected job was skipped
    • every selection answer is exactly true or false
  • It writes a job/selected/result table to the job summary.
  • Make CI (plus Labels and issue link) the required checks on main. Add it to the release/** ruleset.
  • Decide whether the OS and probe legs block. If the http probe leg is flaky, either fix that first, or name it in the gate as advisory, explicitly.
  • Order: add CI, let it report green on main and the open release branch, then switch protection. Removing a required name first would leave every open PR pending.
  • The gate is a C# tool or a short step, following ADR 0092.

Done when

CI is the required build check, and seeds for a failed Changes, a cancelled leg, a misspelled selection output and a selected-but-skipped job each fail it.
