Add a build (all) gate job as the single required check - #64

Aggregate every build job into one slim gate that fails when a gating build failed, so branch protection can require a single stable check and the matrix can change shape without touching the required-checks list. A leg with continue-on-error reports success to needs and stays advisory; without always() a failed leg would leave the gate skipped, which branch protection treats as satisfied, so the gate runs always and fails explicitly.

Adds a
build (all)aggregate job onubuntu-slimthatneeds:every build job and fails when any gating build failed, so branch protection can require this one stable check instead of one per matrix leg (14 today, renamed whenever the matrix changes).Two GitHub Actions semantics drive the shape of the job:
continue-on-error: truereports success to theneedscontext, so such legs are invisible to the gate and stay purely advisory (currently the GraalVM native leg and, until the Android suite fix lands, the Android legs).if: always(), a failed leg would leave the gate skipped, and branch protection treats a skipped required check as satisfied; the gate therefore always runs and fails explicitly (cancelledincluded, so a half-cancelled run cannot green-light a merge).After merging, mark
build (all)as the required status check in the branch protection settings. Ifubuntu-slimis not available for this repository, the fallback is a one-word change toubuntu-latest.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
