fix(ci): keep master behind architecture gates

[yordis]

• Master should not accept cluster-forwarding changes before native architecture suites validate the candidate.
• Failover coverage needs node authentication readiness and a timeout compatible with bounded leader elections.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Changes are limited to CI triggers/scripts and a flaky-test hardening in integration tests; no production runtime or security logic is modified.

Overview
Extends CI so merge queue candidates are gated the same way as pull requests before they land on master. Common, Ubuntu LTS container, and native x64/arm64 workflows now listen for merge_group (checks_requested); the ARM/x64 build workflows also gain pull_request triggers with the same path ignores as other suites.

C# quality comparison refs are resolved for merge groups: resolve-comparison-refs uses a case on EVENT_NAME, reads MERGE_GROUP_BASE_SHA / MERGE_GROUP_HEAD_SHA, and fails on unsupported events; common.yml passes those SHAs into the step.

The long-running grpc_request_forwarding_survives_leader_change integration test gets a 5-minute NUnit timeout and a 4-minute shared scenario budget. Waits and gRPC deadlines use remaining scenario time; appends retry on Unauthenticated / Unavailable until the scenario budget is exhausted, so failover coverage tolerates auth readiness and leader election timing.

Walkthrough

The workflows now support merge queue checks and event-specific comparison references. A leader-change integration test now waits for cluster readiness and logs diagnostics when setup or execution exceeds its timeout.

Changes

Merge queue checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Comparison reference resolution .config/mise/tasks/github-actions/resolve-comparison-refs	The task selects base and head SHAs for pull_request, merge_group, and push events. Unsupported events now fail explicitly.
Merge queue workflow wiring .github/workflows/*.yml	Build and common workflows trigger on merge_group checks. Selected pull request triggers ignore documentation-only changes. The common workflow passes merge-group SHAs to the resolver.

Leader-change test stability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Leader-change test readiness and timeout src/EventStore.Core.Tests/Integration/grpc_request_forwarding_survives_leader_change.cs	The test waits for admin-user creation on all nodes, logs node output on timeout, and applies a test timeout.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c2486

The PR expands merge-queue CI to run container builds and tests and adjusts a failover test, but the test can outlive its five-minute timeout and may continue after cancellation; merge-queue jobs also inherit secrets and token-based build credentials without an explicit least-privilege boundary. Merge should wait for the timeout handling and CI permission boundary to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit saw checks join the queue
Merge-group refs arrived in view
The workflow followed each new sign
Test nodes waited, all in line
Logs hopped out when clocks ran late
And leaders changed without debate

- Line 31: Increase the Timeout applied to the grpc request-forwarding
leader-change test so it exceeds the cumulative budgets for topology
initialization, admin readiness, leader re-election, and all three Append calls
before Shutdown; update the corresponding timeout usage at the additional
referenced location consistently.
- Line 31: Replace the [Timeout(TestTimeoutMilliseconds)]-only protection in the
leader-change integration test with cooperative cancellation, using a
CancellationTokenSource configured via CancelAfter and passing its token through
the internal waits and shutdown path; alternatively reduce those wait deadlines
so the test completes within the intended limit. Ensure the test stops its work
before returning when the deadline is reached.
