Pull request overview
This PR implements a comprehensive shift-left infrastructure for GitHub Actions workflows, enabling local validation and testing to reduce expensive CI iteration cycles. The implementation adds actionlint for workflow YAML validation, act for local workflow testing, and yamllint for YAML style consistency, projected to reduce Session Protocol failures by 62-75% and workflow YAML errors in CI by 80%+.
Changes:
- Integrated actionlint validation into pre-commit hooks, Validate-PrePR.ps1, and Worktrunk configuration
- Created PowerShell wrapper (Test-WorkflowLocally.ps1) for local workflow testing with nektos/act
- Added yamllint for YAML style consistency checking (non-blocking warnings)
- Comprehensive documentation updates in SHIFT-LEFT.md covering all new tools, limitations, and troubleshooting

.githooks/pre-commit:288
- The first actionlint implementation (line 288) only validates
.github/workflows/but the PR description states that.github/actions/should also be validated. The second implementation correctly uses.github/(workflows|actions)/(line 333). This inconsistency further confirms the first implementation is outdated and should be removed.

This PR reduces technical debt by preventing 62-75% of Session Protocol failures and 80%+ workflow YAML errors from reaching CI. ADR Assessment
Rationale: The tools selected (actionlint, yamllint, act) are industry-standard linting/testing utilities, not architectural dependencies. The PR follows existing ADRs (ADR-005 for PowerShell, ADR-035 for exit codes) and does not introduce new patterns, frameworks, or architectural decisions requiring formal documentation.

Incorrect repository root path calculation in wrapper script
High Severity
The $repoRoot calculation uses Split-Path -Parent $PSScriptRoot which only goes up one directory level. Since this script is located at .claude/skills/github/scripts/, $PSScriptRoot resolves to that path and Split-Path -Parent yields .claude/skills/github/ rather than the actual repository root. This causes $workflowsDir to point to .claude/skills/github/.github/workflows/ which doesn't exist, so all workflow file lookups will fail and the script won't be able to run any workflows.

Missing .github/actions validation in PrePR script
Medium Severity
The workflow validation only checks .github/workflows/ but omits .github/actions/. This creates inconsistency with the pre-commit hook (which validates both workflows and actions directories at line 287) and wt.toml (which validates both at line 20). Per PR feedback, .github/actions should also be validated, but this implementation is incomplete.

Include filter ineffective without Recurse parameter
Low Severity
The Get-ChildItem call uses -Include "*.yml", "*.yaml" without -Recurse and without a wildcard in the path. In PowerShell, the -Include parameter is only effective when the command includes -Recurse OR when the path ends with a wildcard (like $workflowPath\*). Without either, all files in the directory may be returned, not just YAML files. Compare to line 402 which correctly uses -Recurse. If non-YAML files exist in .github/workflows/, they would be passed to actionlint causing confusing errors.

Symlink security check doesn't exclude files from actionlint
Medium Severity
The symlink check loop (lines 314-328) prints a warning and calls continue for symlinks, but this only skips to the next loop iteration—it doesn't remove the symlink from the WORKFLOW_FILES array. Line 331 then runs actionlint "${WORKFLOW_FILES[@]}" on the original unmodified array, which still includes any symlinks. The security comment claims "MEDIUM-002: Reject symlinks to prevent race condition attacks" but symlinks are not actually rejected from processing.

<issue_description># Epic: Implement Local GitHub Actions Testing and Validation
Overview
Implement shift-left testing for GitHub Actions workflows to reduce the expensive push-check-tweak OODA loop. Research indicates 40% Session Protocol failure rate and 25% AI Quality Gate failure rate, with significant portions preventable through local validation.

<agent_instructions>## Observations
The repository already has a robust shift-left validation infrastructure with
file:scripts/Validate-PrePR.ps1as a unified runner and comprehensive documentation atfile:.agents/devops/SHIFT-LEFT.md. The custom git hooks infile:.githooks/pre-commitprovide extensive pre-commit validation. However, GitHub Actions workflow YAML validation is missing. The epic's research shows 40% Session Protocol failure rate and 25% AI Quality Gate failure rate, with workflow YAML errors contributing to expensive CI iteration cycles. The main gaps are: (1) no actionlint integration for workflow YAML validation, (2) no local workflow testing with act, and (3) no yamllint for YAML style consistency.Approach
The implementation focuses on the three missing components identified in the epic: actionlint for workflow YAML validation, act for local workflow testing, and yamllint for style consistency. Since `Vali...
