Summary

Mirror of Template-Generic#49. After guarding lint/validate to skip on this template repo, their needs:-dependent jobs (Tests, Build RC Package) hung in "waiting" (Gitea act_runner leaves a job whose skipped dependency never resolves), so the run never completed.

Fix

  • ci-generic.yml test: if: ${{ always() && needs.lint.result == 'success' }}
  • pr-check.yml pre-release: if: ${{ always() && needs.branch-policy.result == 'success' && needs.validate.result == 'success' }}

This makes the dependent jobs skip cleanly on this template while behaving normally on generated/real repos. Completes the CI cleanup (#41, #42).

## Summary Mirror of [Template-Generic#49](https://git.mokoconsulting.tech/MokoConsulting/Template-Generic/pulls/49). After guarding `lint`/`validate` to skip on this template repo, their `needs:`-dependent jobs (`Tests`, `Build RC Package`) hung in **"waiting"** (Gitea act_runner leaves a job whose skipped dependency never resolves), so the run never completed. ## Fix - `ci-generic.yml` `test`: `if: ${{ always() && needs.lint.result == 'success' }}` - `pr-check.yml` `pre-release`: `if: ${{ always() && needs.branch-policy.result == 'success' && needs.validate.result == 'success' }}` This makes the dependent jobs skip cleanly on this template while behaving normally on generated/real repos.

Mirror of Template-Generic fix: key dependent jobs off their gate's
result with always() so a skipped lint/validate (template repos) skips
them cleanly instead of leaving them "waiting" (Gitea act quirk).

- ci-generic.yml `test`: if always() && needs.lint.result == 'success'
- pr-check.yml `pre-release`: if always() && needs.branch-policy.result
  == 'success' && needs.validate.result == 'success'
