Wire up github-token-for-extra-empty-commit as configurable input

[Copilot]

This PR exposes github-token-for-extra-empty-commit as a configurable workflow input so callers can opt into the extra empty commit behavior that re-associates pushes away from github-actions[bot] and allows downstream workflows to run.

Changes

• Updated shared fragments to pass through the new safe-output field:
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/safe-output-create-pr.md
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/safe-output-push-to-pr.md
• Added optional input github-token-for-extra-empty-commit (default "") to the 17 workflow .md definitions that import those fragments.
• Added an explicit safe-output mapping in .github/workflows/gh-aw-mention-in-pr-by-id.md because it defines push-to-pull-request-branch directly:
  • safe-outputs.push-to-pull-request-branch.github-token-for-extra-empty-commit: $\{\{ inputs.github-token-for-extra-empty-commit }}
• Regenerated corresponding .lock.yml files so GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN is sourced from $\{\{ inputs.github-token-for-extra-empty-commit }}.
• Lockfile regeneration also removed explicit concurrency blocks in several workflows as part of generated output normalization.

Usage

uses: elastic/ai-github-actions/.github/workflows/gh-aw-issue-fixer.lock.yml@v0
with:
  github-token-for-extra-empty-commit: $\{\{ secrets.MY_PAT }}
secrets:
  COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: $\{\{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a new optional workflow input github-token-for-extra-empty-commit across 18 GitHub Actions workflows to enable pushing extra empty commits on bot-created PRs. The changes consistently add the new input parameter, replace references to secrets.GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN with the new input, and remove concurrency blocks from several agent jobs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Workflow Lock Files - Token Input & Source Updates .github/workflows/gh-aw-*.lock.yml	Added new github-token-for-extra-empty-commit input to 18 workflows. Replaced secrets.GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN with inputs.github-token-for-extra-empty-commit for GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN usage in activation and safe-outputs steps. Removed concurrency blocks from agent jobs in several workflows (bug-exterminator, code-duplication-fixer, code-simplifier, newbie-contributor-fixer, pr-actions-fixer, release-update, small-problem-fixer, test-improvement, test-improver, text-beautifier). Updated metadata frontmatter hashes.
Workflow Documentation Files .github/workflows/gh-aw-*.md	Added new optional input github-token-for-extra-empty-commit (string, required: false, default: "") with description across 18 workflow documentation files. No other functional changes to existing inputs or behavior.
Workflow Fragment Files .github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/safe-output-*.md	Added new input mapping github-token-for-extra-empty-commit: ${{ inputs.github-token-for-extra-empty-commit }} to safe-outputs sections for create-pull-request and push-to-pull-request-branch workflows.
Metadata Lock File .github/workflows/downstream-users.lock.yml	Updated gh-aw metadata frontmatterHash value. Functionally a metadata-only change with no logic or control flow alterations.
