ci: skip live e2e tests on fork PRs

[serhalp]

Some tests always fail on PRs from forks. This is a poor experience for external contributors as well as for maintainers, and it does not foster OSS contributions.

Skip tests that require access to secrets and use GitHub "annotations" to remind maintainers that this has happened.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Notes

• Chores
  • Modified CI/CD pipeline to skip live end-to-end tests for fork pull requests and display warnings when tests are skipped, protecting sensitive credentials.

Walkthrough

The changes implement a mechanism to skip live end-to-end tests for pull requests from forked repositories. A GitHub Actions workflow now conditionally sets SKIP_LIVE_TESTS=true when the PR originates from a fork (not netlify/primitives), and emits a warning in the job summary. A test file was updated to check this environment variable and skip the Netlify deployment test suite accordingly when the flag is active.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3

✅ Passed checks (3 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately and concisely summarizes the main change: skipping live e2e tests on fork PRs, which matches the workflow modifications and test gating added in this changeset.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description clearly explains the motivation (tests failing on forks hurts contributor experience) and the solution (skip tests requiring secrets and use GitHub annotations), which directly relates to the changes made in the PR.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.

_{✏️ Tip: You can configure your own custom pre-merge checks in the settings.}

In @.github/workflows/test.yaml:
- Around line 60-62: The "Flag fork PR" step's condition uses
github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name without first ensuring the event
is a pull_request, causing push and merge events to treat null as an empty
string and erroneously set SKIP_LIVE_TESTS; update the condition on the "Flag
fork PR" step to first check that github.event_name equals "pull_request" and
only then compare github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name against
"netlify/primitives" so SKIP_LIVE_TESTS is set only for forked pull requests.

Write SKIP_LIVE_TESTS using a shell-agnostic command

This step executes in the test matrix on windows-latest as well, but echo "SKIP_LIVE_TESTS=true" >> "$GITHUB_ENV" uses Bash-style variable expansion. Because no shell override is set, Windows runners use PowerShell, where this expression does not resolve the environment file path correctly, so fork PR jobs can fail here instead of skipping live tests. Please either force shell: bash or use PowerShell-compatible syntax (and apply the same fix to the later $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY writes).

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

GHA defaults to bash even on Windows runners!
