Add global.context setup before all scripts with actions/github-script

[Copilot]

Bundled JavaScript scripts may contain require() calls for built-in Node.js modules (fs, path, crypto) that execute during module loading. Without globals set up beforehand, code executing at module-load time cannot access GitHub Actions variables like context, core, github.

Changes

Added global.context = context (plus core, github, exec, io) setup before all JavaScript in actions/github-script steps, whether using require() or inline mode:

Activation job scripts (compiler_activation_jobs.go):

• check_stop_time, check_skip_if_match, check_command_position
• compute_text, lock-issue, add_reaction_and_edit_comment

Safe output scripts (compiler_safe_outputs_core.go):

• Inline mode safe output handlers

Participant & PR scripts:

• copilot_participant_steps.go: assign_issue, add_copilot_reviewer
• pr.go: PR checkout script (now uses require() when setup action is available)
• create_issue.go: assign_copilot_to_created_issues
• role_checks.go: membership check

Script updates:

• checkout_pr_branch.cjs: Updated to export main function for use with require() pattern

Example

With require() (when setup action is available):

script: |
  global.core = core;
  global.github = github;
  global.context = context;
  global.exec = exec;
  global.io = io;
  const { main } = require('/tmp/gh-aw/actions/checkout_pr_branch.cjs');
  await main();

With inline mode (fallback):

script: |
  global.core = core;
  global.github = github;
  global.context = context;
  global.exec = exec;
  global.io = io;
  async function main() {
    const fs = require("fs");  // context now available
    const runId = context.runId;

This ensures consistent global variable availability across both require()-based and inline script loading patterns.

Original prompt

Make sure that "context" is stored in global for all inlined script with actions/github-script before require()

global.context = context

@copilot require the .cjs file and call main instead of inlining

[Copilot]

Changed to use require() pattern instead of inlining. Updated checkout_pr_branch.cjs to export the main function and modified pr.go to conditionally use require when setup action is available. (c69a0f1)
