ci: distinguish skipped bootstrap routes

[ndizazzo]

Problem

The first post-#1244 activation probe showed that GitHub includes the unselected bootstrap caller in the entry run's job list with conclusion=skipped. The protected controller matched the bootstrap job name without checking its conclusion, so it suppressed lane dispatch for every thin PR/main route.

Fix

Treat exact and reusable-workflow-prefixed bootstrap job names as evidence only when the matching job was not skipped. Actual bootstrap executions still suppress protected redispatch; an unselected bootstrap caller no longer does.

Validation

• just ci-validate
• 412 Python tests passed (7 expected skips)
• actionlint and repository-consistency checks passed

This prerequisite must merge before the temporary split-lane activation probe. Depot remains trusted-main only; no provider, variable, runner-group, or cache setting changes are included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved workflow dispatch decisions by ignoring bootstrap jobs that were skipped.
  • Dispatch is now suppressed only when a matching bootstrap job completed without being skipped.

• Tests

  • Added coverage to verify skipped bootstrap jobs do not block dispatch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The controller workflow now ignores matching bootstrap jobs with a skipped conclusion. The workflow test verifies the non-skipped conclusion condition.

Changes

Bootstrap dispatch control

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Exclude skipped bootstrap jobs .github/workflows/ci-control.yml, scripts/tests/test_ci_lane_workflows.py	Bootstrap detection requires matching jobs to have a conclusion other than skipped. The test asserts this condition.
