fix: enforce fresh nightly promotion quality gates
Ensure promotion decisions are based on current nightly HEAD evidence instead of stale workflow history.
Add native CodeQL branch triggers so security analysis runs on nightly/main promotion paths.
Convert nightly and weekly automation to dispatch required checks only when missing for the exact HEAD commit, preventing duplicate/racing runs while guaranteeing check presence.
Harden weekly health verification with retry polling so transient scheduling delays do not produce false negatives.
This reduces false blocking and ensures nightly-to-main promotion uses current, deterministic CI state.

- Updated environment variable assignments in multiple workflow files to use double quotes for consistency and to prevent potential issues with variable expansion.
- Refactored echo commands to group multiple lines into a single block for improved readability in the following workflows:
- release-goreleaser.yml
- renovate_prune.yml
- security-pr.yml
- security-weekly-rebuild.yml
- supply-chain-pr.yml
- supply-chain-verify.yml
- update-geolite2.yml
- waf-integration.yml
- weekly-nightly-promotion.yml
Adds automated workflow that creates a PR from nightly → main every
Monday at 9:00 AM UTC for scheduled release promotion.
Features:
Pre-flight health check verifies critical workflows are passing
Skips PR creation if nightly has no new commits
Detects existing PRs and adds comments instead of duplicates
Labels PRs with 'automated' and 'weekly-promotion'
Creates GitHub issue on failure for visibility
Manual trigger via workflow_dispatch with reason input
NO auto-merge - requires human review and approval
This gives early-week visibility into nightly changes and prevents
Friday surprises from untested code reaching main.
