Replace gh discussion list (unsupported) with gh api graphql. The gh CLI in GitHub Actions doesn't have a 'discussion' subcommand, so we use the GraphQL API to query discussions instead. - Parse repo owner/name from INPUT_REPO or GitHub context - Build GraphQL query for discussions with proper fields - Transform GraphQL output to match expected format - Maintains backward compatibility with existing jq filters Fixes discussion-comment task failure in smoke tests.

Recompile all workflows that import shared/github-queries-safe-input.md to apply the GraphQL API fix for discussion queries. Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>
The daily-performance-summary.md workflow had an inline definition of github-discussion-query that overrides the shared import. Updated the inline definition to also use GraphQL API. Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>
