Fix runtime-import crash by including workflows folder in sparse-checkout

[Copilot]

Workflows crashed during prompt generation with "Runtime import file not found: workflows/issue-triage-agent.md". The runtime-import JavaScript attempted to read .github/workflows/*.md files, but sparse-checkout only included the actions folder.

Changes

Sparse-checkout configuration (pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml_helpers.go)

• Added workflows folder to sparse-checkout for dev and script modes
• All 149 workflows use runtime-import macros for their markdown content, so this folder is universally required

Before:

sparse-checkout: |
  actions

After:

sparse-checkout: |
  actions
  workflows

Test coverage (pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml_helpers_test.go)

• Added TestGenerateCheckoutActionsFolder to verify both folders are included in sparse-checkout
• Covers dev mode, script mode, release mode, and action-tag feature flag scenarios

Impact

All workflow lock files recompiled with updated sparse-checkout. Runtime-import macros will now successfully resolve workflow markdown files at execution time.
