Make quality snapshot comments safe for fork PRs

Beginne mit den performance- und coverage-pull_request-Workflows, insbesondere deren in-progress- und final-marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment-Schritten. Verwende PR #521 und die verknüpften performance- und coverage-Läufe, um den Fork-Token-Fehler zu reproduzieren. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Änderung, wenn Fork-Jobs mit schreibgeschütztem Zugriff abgeschlossen werden, während die Gates fail-closed bleiben, Kommentare im selben Repository weiterhin funktionieren und Berichte in Zusammenfassungen und Artefakten verfügbar bleiben.

Problem

Pull requests from forks receive a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN, even when a pull_request workflow declares pull-requests: write. The performance and coverage workflows currently invoke marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment before running their substantive work.

PR #521 reproduced the failure across all performance and coverage jobs:

• the workflow token had PullRequests: read and Secret source: None;
• the initial sticky-comment step failed with Resource not accessible by integration;
• normal benchmark/coverage steps were then skipped because the preceding step failed;
• always() upload/comparison steps ran without metrics.json or lcov.info, producing cascading snapshot failures; and
• the final sticky-comment step failed with the same permission error.

The regular build, test, lint, and environment jobs passed, confirming that this was a fork-permission failure rather than a problem with the action pins in PR #521.

Security constraint

Fork workflows must remain untrusted and read-only:

• do not grant fork pull requests write access or repository secrets;
• do not use pull_request_target to execute or otherwise consume untrusted pull-request code; and
• do not weaken the fail-closed behavior of the actual performance and coverage gates.

Tasks

• Detect fork pull requests before invoking PR-comment-writing actions.
• Skip both in-progress and final sticky-comment steps when the token cannot write, while allowing the benchmark/coverage work and snapshot comparisons to continue.
• Ensure comment publishing itself is non-gating: a comment API failure must not suppress or replace the underlying quality-gate result.
• Preserve sticky performance and coverage comments for same-repository pull requests.
• Keep reports available to fork contributors through job summaries and uploaded artifacts.
• Audit other pull_request workflows for write operations with the same fork-token assumption.

Acceptance criteria

• A fork PR runs the complete performance and coverage jobs using only a read-only token.
• Fork runs do not attempt to create or update PR comments and do not report Resource not accessible by integration.
• Performance or coverage regressions still fail their jobs for both fork and same-repository PRs.
• Missing or malformed benchmark/coverage output still fails closed.
• Same-repository PRs continue receiving sticky snapshot comments.
• Fork reports remain inspectable in the GitHub step summary and artifacts.
• The solution does not use pull_request_target, expose secrets, or grant write permissions to untrusted fork code.
