issue comment triggers do not automatically update check status in the PR, so
use separate steps to update them, similar to how the tft.yml workflow works.
For issue comment workflows, ensure that the head_sha is set early in the
workflow and the status is only updated if there is a head_sha.

Create a variable for context so it is created in one place and used in several
places in the workflow.

Ensure that the first steps in the workflow are to get the head_sha and set the
status to In Progress.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added commit-status reporting for pull-request comment-triggered checks.
    • Checks now show a pending status while running and publish a final success, failure, or skipped result when complete.
    • Statuses include clearer workflow, job, and test-context details across linting, testing, security, documentation, and integration checks.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Comment-triggered checks now run against the correct pull-request revision.
    • Added a fallback revision for testing-farm runs when no pull-request revision is available.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now report pending and final commit statuses for issue-comment-triggered pull request checks. They resolve pull request head SHAs and status contexts, update checkout references, and add status-writing permissions.

Changes

Commit status reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Standard status lifecycle
.github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml, .github/workflows/ansible-managed-var-comment.yml, .github/workflows/ansible-test.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/codespell.yml, .github/workflows/markdownlint.yml, .github/workflows/python-unit-test.yml, .github/workflows/shellcheck.yml, .github/workflows/test_converting_readme.yml, .github/workflows/woke.yml
The workflows grant statuses: write, resolve pull request head SHAs and status contexts, publish pending statuses before checks, use the resolved SHA for checkout, and publish final job.status values after execution.
QEMU status conditions
.github/workflows/qemu-kvm-integration-tests.yml
The workflow centralizes SHA and context outputs. It applies conditions for final and platform-skipped commit statuses.
Testing Farm status outputs
.github/workflows/tft.yml
The workflow adds a fallback SHA and routes pending, skipped-platform, and final statuses through shared SHA and context outputs. It also corrects a comment typo.

The workflow status changes are otherwise ready, but the TFT workflow must quote its GITHUB_OUTPUT redirections to pass workflow linting.

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (12 skipped: 12 unsupported.)

Full details: Description Format

Explanation

The PR description does not follow the required format. The repository template requires Enhancement:, Reason:, and Result: sections, and the description contains none of these headings. The change is a bug fix, but the alternative bug-fix headings Cause:, Consequences:, Fix:, and Result: are also absent.

Quote the GITHUB_OUTPUT paths.

actionlint reports SC2086 on Lines 173-174. The unquoted redirection paths fail workflow linting. Use >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" in both commands.

Proposed fix
-          echo "head_sha=$HEAD_SHA" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
-          echo "context=$CONTEXT" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
