fix: fall back to master workflows ref for merge-queue refs#18
Merged
Conversation
github.workflow_ref on merge_group events resolves to the caller's refs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/* ref, which does not exist in the workflows repository. The validator-script checkout then fails with git exit code 1 and dequeues the PR from the merge queue. Treat merge-queue refs like refs/pull/* and fall back to master.

Problem
fyle-appmerge-queue runs of theValidate pnpm configreusable workflow fail at the Checkout workflows repository for validator script step:The "Resolve workflows repository ref" step derives the checkout ref from
github.workflow_ref, which is the caller's ref. Onmerge_groupevents that isrefs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/master/pr-<n>-<sha>— a branch that only exists in the caller repo (fyle-app), not infylein/workflows. The checkout fetch fails, the job fails, and the PR is dequeued from the merge queue.The existing fallback (#16) only covered
refs/pull/*(pull_request events).Fix
Treat merge-queue refs (
refs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/*) likerefs/pull/*: fall back tomasterwhen checking out this repo for the validator script.Note: this only changes which ref of this repo the validator script is fetched from. The validation itself still runs fully, against the merge-queue commit of the caller repo — nothing is skipped.
