Dependabot updates currently merge before CI finishes. Run the script tests and template workflow preview on every PR, with an aggregate ci check that fails if either fails or is skipped.

Those checks do not test a sample's runtime, and Dependabot PRs skip the existing deployment tests. Until there is a credential-safe way to test changed samples, do not automatically approve or merge Dependabot PRs that change files under samples/; they remain available for human review. Other eligible patch/minor PRs keep the existing automation.

After merge, an administrator must require the GitHub Actions ci check on the default branch; this PR alone does not enforce it. Existing draft #764 proposes auto-merging major updates and is incompatible with the agreed policy.

Validation: actionlint passed and all 22 script tests passed locally. GitHub Actions on this PR exercises the checks and gate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Dependabot patch and minor updates that change sample files are no longer automatically approved or merged.
  • Pull-request checks now run across all changes, rather than only selected file paths.
  • A pull request now receives a successful CI result only when both the test and workflow-preview checks succeed.

Walkthrough

The Dependabot workflow now checks changed-file scope before approval and auto-merge. The test workflow now runs on all pull requests, regardless of changed paths, and adds a job that checks the results of its test and preview-workflows jobs.

Changes: Dependabot auto-merge scope

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Changed-file scope and merge gates .github/workflows/dependabot-automerge.yml	The workflow sets safe to true only when no changed filename starts with samples/. Approval and auto-merge require this output and the existing patch-or-minor update condition.

Pull-request CI workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pull-request trigger and CI gate .github/workflows/test-scripts.yml	The pull_request trigger no longer restricts runs by path. A pull-request-only ci job waits for test and preview-workflows and succeeds only when both results are success.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 5d2d1

The new changed-file scope check in the Dependabot workflow uses GitHub CLI flags that cannot be combined, so it would fail on every Dependabot PR. Approval and auto-merge would stop for all Dependabot updates, including safe ones outside samples/. Production behavior is not affected and nothing is merged unsafely. Fix the command before merging so the automation keeps working.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "ci: add required CI gate" matches the main change. The PR adds an aggregate ci job to the test-scripts workflow that succeeds only when the test and preview-workflows jobs both succeed. The title also follows conventional-commit style and is concise. The Dependabot auto-merge change under samples/ is a secondary change that the title does not mention, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/dependabot-automerge.yml:
- Line 28: Update the `safe` calculation in the Dependabot scope step: capture
the paginated pull-request files response from `gh api` first, then pass it to
external `jq` to determine whether any filename starts with `samples/`. Keep the
API request failure-propagating so a failed request cannot be treated as a safe
result.
