[WIP] Add workflow_dispatch to ci.yml

[Copilot]

Plan: Add workflow_dispatch to ci.yml

Objective

Add workflow_dispatch trigger to the .github/workflows/ci.yml file to enable manual workflow execution.

Analysis

• Located ci.yml at /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/.github/workflows/ci.yml
• Current triggers: push (branches: main), pull_request
• Pattern observed in other workflows: workflow_dispatch: is added as a simple entry in the on: section
• Similar examples: docs.yml and integration-agentics.yml

Implementation Plan

• Analyze repository structure and locate ci.yml
• Review existing workflows to understand workflow_dispatch pattern
• Build project to verify current state
• Add workflow_dispatch: to the on: section in ci.yml
• Verify the change maintains YAML syntax
• Run validation to ensure no breaking changes
• Commit the change

Changes Made

Added workflow_dispatch: to the on: section in .github/workflows/ci.yml (line 7):

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
  workflow_dispatch:

Validation Results

• ✅ YAML syntax validation passed
• ✅ actionlint validation passed
• ✅ All unit tests passed
• ✅ Format check passed

The change enables manual triggering of the CI workflow from the GitHub Actions UI while maintaining all existing functionality.
