fix(pr-validation): run the advisory checks even when a blocking one fails - #911
Conversation
…fails PR Size, Auto Labels and PR Metadata were gated on `needs.blocking-checks.result == 'success'`, so a wrong title or a missing signature took them down too — the summary reported three `skipped` rows next to the failure. That came from the 2-tier fail-fast model and saved a runner at the expense of the pull request that most needed the help. None of the three can block a merge, all three are cheap, and a pull request already in trouble is exactly where a size label and an assignee are worth having. `needs:` stays for ordering; the verdict is no longer consulted. Drafts and non-pull_request events still skip, as before. Safe because none of the three can fail the job — each is continue-on-error — and the summary and report jobs already run with always(), so an advisory checkout failure still gets reported. Tests pin all three facts.

Sorry, something went wrong.
…rwise Addresses the CodeRabbit review on #911. The new section described advisory checks running regardless of the blocking result while two other places in the same file still described the old behaviour — the Jobs table and the Tier 2 bullet. Contradictory documentation is worse than none: whoever reads the table believes it. A third one was not flagged and was wrong too: the Tier 1 bullet said a blocking failure prevents advisory checks from running. Also fixes the test that was supposed to make this change safe. It asserted over the whole job text, so a step — or the comment above the assertion, which contains the word always() — satisfied it while the job-level needs and if said something else. It now reads the parsed job. Verified by dropping advisory-checks from a needs list and watching it fail.

From the CodeRabbit review on #918. "Feedback comments" still described, in ten lines of detail, how the acknowledgement guard creates, updates and deletes its comment — a job this PR removes. It sat directly above the section explaining that the gate owns the single comment, so the file contradicted itself. This is the same mistake I flagged and fixed on #911: adding a section for the new behaviour and leaving the old description in place, where whoever reads it believes it. Also lists `acknowledgement` in the `state` input description. The README already documented it; the action's own contract did not.

None. No input, output or job name changes. One job that used to be skipped now runs.
Worth stating: this reverses a deliberate optimisation, so it costs one extra job on pull requests that fail a blocking check. If the team wants the fail-fast behaviour back, reverting this commit is the whole change.
