Fix workflow unconditionally blocking PRs to main

[Copilot]

The pr-steps-checker.yml workflow had an unconditional exit 1 that blocked all PRs targeting main, regardless of PR content.

Changes

• Replaced the failing blocker step with a no-op placeholder step
• Removed conditional check that triggered exit 1 for main-targeted PRs
• Preserves workflow structure for future implementation of actual checkbox validation

Before:

- name: Parse the PR description for all mandatory steps
  run: echo "Run blocker parser"
- if: ${{ contains(fromJson('["main"]'), github.event.pull_request.base.ref) }}
  name: Block merge due to missing mandatory steps
  run: exit 1
  shell: bash

After:

- name: Parse the PR description for all mandatory steps
  run: echo "Run blocker parser - Not implemented yet, skipping check"

PRs to main will no longer be automatically blocked by this workflow.

Original prompt

Problem

The workflow file .github/workflows/pr-steps-checker.yml is currently blocking ALL pull requests that target the main branch.

The Runner-steps job has an unconditional exit 1 that always fails when the PR targets main:

- if: ${{ contains(fromJson('["main"]'), github.event.pull_request.base.ref) }}
  # Failing step
  name: Block merge due to missing mandatory steps
  run: exit 1
  shell: bash

There is no actual parsing logic to check for mandatory checkboxes - it just echoes a message and then always fails.

Required Fix

In the file .github/workflows/pr-steps-checker.yml, replace the last two steps in the Runner-steps job (lines starting with "# RUN BLOCKER STEP") with a single step:

Replace:

      # RUN BLOCKER STEP
      - name: Parse the PR description for all mandatory steps
        run: echo "Run blocker parser"
      - if: ${{ contains(fromJson('["main"]'), github.event.pull_request.base.ref) }}
        # Failing step
        name: Block merge due to missing mandatory steps
        run: exit 1
        shell: bash

With:

      # RUN BLOCKER STEP
      - name: Parse the PR description for all mandatory steps
        run: echo "Run blocker parser - Not implemented yet, skipping check"

This removes the unconditional failure and allows PRs to proceed while keeping the placeholder comment for future implementation of actual checkbox validation logic.
