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

  • Workflow Improvements
    • Pull-request checks triggered by comments now report clear pending, successful, or failed commit statuses.
    • Statuses are associated with the correct pull-request commit and individual workflow context.
    • Improved handling of skipped platforms and fallback commit references in testing workflows.
    • Updated workflow permissions to support commit-status reporting.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The workflows now publish pending and final commit statuses for issue_comment runs. They resolve pull request head SHAs and status contexts, use those SHAs for checkout, and grant statuses: write. The Testing Farm workflow also adds a SHA fallback and centralizes status inputs.

Commit status reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Standard workflow status lifecycle
.github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml, .github/workflows/ansible-managed-var-comment.yml, .github/workflows/ansible-test.yml, .github/workflows/codespell.yml, .github/workflows/markdownlint.yml, .github/workflows/test_converting_readme.yml, .github/workflows/woke.yml
These workflows resolve the pull request head SHA and status context, publish pending and final commit statuses, and checkout the resolved SHA for issue-comment runs.
QEMU status conditions
.github/workflows/qemu-kvm-integration-tests.yml
The workflow derives a scenario-specific context and applies platform and event conditions to pending, skipped-platform, and final statuses.
Testing Farm status wiring
.github/workflows/tft.yml
The workflow adds a github.sha fallback, centralizes status inputs, and rewires pending, skipped-platform, and final status steps. It also fixes a concurrency comment typo.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c17b1

Testing Farm status updates can be attached to the generated merge commit instead of the pull request head, so expected PR status reporting may not update correctly. The workflow also has a reported static-analysis violation; both issues should be corrected before merge.

Explanation

The PR description does not follow the required format. The change addresses a CI status bug, but the description has no Cause:, Consequences:, Fix:, or Result: sections. It does include a valid Signed-off-by: line. The repository template confirms the required structured format includes Enhancement:, Reason:, and Result:; the check also permits the specified bug-fix structure.

Keep pull-request statuses on the PR head SHA.

On pull_request events, github.sha is the merge commit SHA. The explicit sha input overrides the action’s PR-head default. All three status steps therefore target the merge SHA.

Use the event head SHA before the generic fallback:

Proposed fix
-      head_sha: ${{ steps.head_sha.outputs.head_sha || github.sha }}
+      head_sha: ${{ steps.head_sha.outputs.head_sha || github.event.pull_request.head.sha || github.sha }}
