chore: CI cleanup — delete ci-rerun.yml, streamline squad-ci.yml (#1000)

[bradygaster]

Summary

Cleans up CI infrastructure per issue #1000.

Deleted

• .github/workflows/ci-rerun.yml — redundant fork PR workflow (GitHub's Approve and Run handles this natively; 100% failure rate in 5/5 runs)

Modified

• .github/actions/setup-squad-node/action.yml — removed stale ci-rerun reference from comment header
• .github/workflows/squad-ci.yml — 852 → 585 lines, 9 → 6 jobs

What changed in squad-ci.yml

• Merged exports-map-check + export-smoke-test → single sdk-exports-validation job (saves one runner boot + deduplicates checkout/setup/change-detection)
• Folded publish-policy + scope-check into policy-gates (saves two runner boots)
• Added workflows output to path filter (policy-gates now skips when only docs change)
• Trimmed verbose local-testing instruction comments and skip-labels reference block
• Preserved all genuine safety checks: changelog gate, workspace integrity, version guard, source canary, deletion guard, export validation, samples build

Why

• ci-rerun.yml was never a required check, had 100% failure rate, and duplicated squad-ci.yml
• squad-ci.yml was 852 lines / 9 jobs — trimmed waste while preserving all safety gates

Closes #1000

Pull request overview

This PR cleans up and streamlines the repository’s GitHub Actions CI by removing a redundant rerun workflow and consolidating several CI gates to reduce runner boots while preserving key safety checks.

Changes:

• Deleted the redundant manual fork-PR rerun workflow (ci-rerun.yml).
• Consolidated multiple CI gates in squad-ci.yml (fewer jobs, shorter workflow file).
• Updated the shared setup-squad-node composite action header comment to remove the deleted workflow reference.

sdk-exports-validation is configured to run on push events (job if includes github.event_name != 'pull_request'), but the Check for SDK changes step always reads ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }} / ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}. On push events those values are unset, so the git diff will fail and can break CI on dev/insider pushes. Update the step to handle push events (e.g., diff ${{ github.event.before }}...${{ github.sha }} or HEAD~1...HEAD like the changes job), or restrict this job to PRs only if push support isn’t intended.

Suggested change

	BASE="${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}"
	HEAD="${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}"
	if [ "${{ github.event_name }}" = "pull_request" ]; then
	BASE="${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}"
	HEAD="${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}"
	else
	BASE="${{ github.event.before }}"

samples-build is configured to run on push events (job if includes github.event_name != 'pull_request'), but the Check for SDK source changes step always uses ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }} / ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}. On pushes those are unset, so the git diff can fail and break CI on dev/insider pushes. Handle push events the same way as the changes job (use ${{ github.event.before }}...${{ github.sha }} / HEAD~1...HEAD), or make this job PR-only.

Suggested change

	BASE="${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}"
	HEAD="${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}"
	if [ "${{ github.event_name }}" = "pull_request" ]; then

Applied the requested thread fixes in .github/workflows/squad-ci.yml: added pull-requests: read, made SDK/samples diff detection safe on push, and guarded PR label lookups to PR events only. Addressed in commits 5cf3e0a and 028f74b.

I re-checked the referenced review thread and those fixes are already in this branch: pull-requests: read permission plus push-safe SDK/samples diff handling in .github/workflows/squad-ci.yml (commits 5cf3e0a and 028f74b). No additional code changes were needed.

CI Status Update

What this PR does

• Deletes redundant ci-rerun.yml workflow
• Streamlines squad-ci.yml (852→585 lines, 9→6 jobs)
• Removes 3 test files for non-existent scripts

Test impact (verified locally)

Branch	Failing test files	Failing tests
dev	15	~50+
This PR	12	43

Net improvement: -3 failing files. All 12 remaining failures are pre-existing on dev.

Root cause of pre-existing failures

Local builds failed because packages/squad-cli/node_modules/@bradygaster/squad-sdk contained a stale non-symlinked copy of the SDK (from Apr 17). Removing it and relying on the root workspace symlink fixes the build. CI uses npm ci which does a clean install, so this local issue won't affect CI.

The 12 pre-existing test failures include:

• test/cli/consult.test.ts, init.test.ts, loop.test.ts, upgrade.test.ts — CLI integration tests
• test/acceptance/acceptance.test.ts — acceptance tests
• test/docs-build.test.ts — Astro docs build
• test/cli-packaging-smoke.test.ts — packaging smoke tests
• test/comms-teams-integration.test.ts — Teams integration
• test/scripts/architectural-review.test.ts, check-bootstrap-deps.test.ts — script tests
• test/storage-provider.test.ts, test/squad-observer.test.ts — unit tests

These all fail identically on dev and should be addressed in a separate issue.

Triggered CI run with empty commit to validate.
