- Remove `if: always()` from integration-gate, coverage-gate, codecov-gate, pipeline-gate
- Gates now naturally skip when their upstream dependencies are skipped (fork PR behavior)
- Prevents confusing "complete" status when nothing actually ran
- Fork PRs will show "skipped" in UI instead of obscuring behavior behind gate success
- Aligns with GitHub Actions standard job dependency semantics
- 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
