CI: stop a failing Claude review from blocking Dependabot bumps

[JeanMarcMilletScality]

TL;DR — Every Dependabot pull request carried a review / claude-review check that failed before it ran, leaving approved dependency bumps unmergeable; the job is now skipped on them.

Context / Why

Four Dependabot bumps are open against development/1.0 and none can merge — #1203 is approved and still held at the build gate. The only red check on each is review / claude-review, which fails in two seconds while the reusable workflow call is evaluated:

Secret GCP_WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_PROVIDER is required, but not provided while calling.

GitHub runs Dependabot's pull_request events against the Dependabot secret store rather than the Actions one, so secrets: inherit hands over nothing. Nothing about the bump itself is wrong, and retrying cannot clear it.

Skipping the job emits no check at all rather than a green one. That is safe here: #1092 merged in May with no review / claude-review check run on its commit.

🔍 Review focus

• 🟡 Moderate — .github/workflows/review.yml › the if: expression — inverted or misspelled, it silently drops review from every pull request. This one is the test: it is human-authored, and review / claude-review passed on it.

🧪 How to test

Once merged, comment @dependabot rebase on one of the open bumps, then confirm the review job is skipped and no review / claude-review check appears on it.

Follow-up

• The four open bumps need a rebase after this lands to pick up the guard, or a privileged /bypass_build_status to merge as they stand.
