Optimize SC2002 useless cat patterns in analysis workflows

[Copilot]

Replace inefficient cat file | command patterns with direct input redirection in three workflow files, eliminating SC2002 shellcheck warnings.

Changes

• copilot-agent-analysis.md (line 70)
• copilot-pr-prompt-analysis.md (line 67)
• prompt-clustering-analysis.md (line 72)

All instances of:

cat /tmp/gh-aw/pr-data/copilot-prs.json | /tmp/gh-aw/jqschema.sh > output.json

Replaced with:

/tmp/gh-aw/jqschema.sh < /tmp/gh-aw/pr-data/copilot-prs.json > output.json

This eliminates unnecessary process spawning while preserving identical functionality.

<issue_title>[task] Optimize SC2002 useless cat patterns in analysis workflows</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective
Optimize cat file | command patterns to more efficient command < file syntax in three analysis workflows.

Context

Static analysis identified 3 instances of SC2002 ("Useless cat. Consider 'cmd < file | ..' or 'cmd file | ..' instead"). While not a security issue, this is a code style improvement that can reduce unnecessary process overhead.

Related to discussion #3527.

Approach

1. Review the following workflows:
   • copilot-agent-analysis
   • copilot-pr-prompt-analysis
   • prompt-clustering-analysis
2. Locate cat file | command patterns
3. Replace with more efficient alternatives:
   • command < file (if command reads from stdin)
   • command file (if command accepts file argument)
4. Verify commands still work with new syntax

Files to Modify

• .github/workflows/copilot-agent-analysis.md
• .github/workflows/copilot-pr-prompt-analysis.md
• .github/workflows/prompt-clustering-analysis.md

Acceptance Criteria

• All useless cat patterns replaced with efficient alternatives
• Run gh aw compile --actionlint on each workflow shows no SC2002 warnings
• Workflows compile successfully
• Functionality preserved (verify with test runs if possible)

Impact

Eliminates 3 code style warnings and slightly improves workflow efficiency.

Pull Request Overview

This PR improves shell script efficiency by replacing the anti-pattern cat file | command with the more idiomatic input redirection pattern command < file across multiple workflow files. The change specifically affects how the jqschema.sh utility script receives input from JSON files.

Key Changes

• Replaced cat /tmp/gh-aw/pr-data/copilot-prs.json | /tmp/gh-aw/jqschema.sh with /tmp/gh-aw/jqschema.sh < /tmp/gh-aw/pr-data/copilot-prs.json in workflow scripts
• Applied the change consistently across both source markdown files and their compiled YAML lock files
