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

  • Improvements
    • CI checks triggered from pull request comments now report clear commit statuses.
    • Checks display a pending status while running and a final success or failure status when complete.
    • Statuses identify the specific workflow, job, platform, or test configuration where applicable.
    • Pull request checks now consistently run against the intended pull request commit, including fallback handling when needed.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now publish pending and final commit statuses for issue-comment-triggered checks. They resolve pull request head SHAs and status contexts, check out the resolved commits, grant status-write permission, and standardize TFT status inputs.

Changes

Commit status reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Status permissions and pending setup
.github/workflows/{ansible-lint,ansible-managed-var-comment,ansible-test,codeql,codespell,markdownlint,python-unit-test,qemu-kvm-integration-tests,shellcheck,test_converting_readme,tft,woke}.yml
The workflows grant statuses: write, resolve commit SHA and context values for issue_comment runs, set pending statuses, and use the resolved SHA for checkout.
Final status reporting
.github/workflows/{ansible-lint,ansible-managed-var-comment,ansible-test,codeql,codespell,markdownlint,python-unit-test,qemu-kvm-integration-tests,shellcheck,test_converting_readme,woke}.yml
The workflows set final commit statuses after checks complete. QEMU-KVM retains conditional handling for unsupported platforms.
TFT status orchestration
.github/workflows/tft.yml
TFT uses a fallback SHA and shared matrix-derived context for pending, skipped-platform, and final commit statuses.

The workflows now report pending and final statuses for issue-comment checks. The TFT workflow still has shell-output redirects that trigger workflow lint errors, so this should be corrected before relying on the updated CI configuration.

Quote $GITHUB_OUTPUT in both redirects.

These unquoted expansions produce the reported actionlint and ShellCheck SC2086 errors. Use >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT".

Proposed fix
