devops(ci): unblock the upstream roll on a fork

 - `.github/workflows/upstream-roll.yml` runs daily: detects a newer, old-enough `patchright-core`, rolls it on `roll_<version>`, runs the full CI matrix on that branch (the reusable `ci.yml`), and opens the PR with the report. `safe` + green CI is merged automatically; `review` waits for a human (label `needs-review`); `blocked` opens an issue (label `upstream-blocked`) with the report and the conflicted merges and writes nothing; scheduled runs skip that version while the issue is open. Manual runs take a version, `dry_run` (report only) and `force`.
 - `.github/workflows/upstream-playwright-cli.yml` runs weekly with the same verdicts for `microsoft/playwright-cli` (`npm run watch:playwright-cli`, `--apply` to take a clean merge).
+- Both workflows need Issues enabled on the repository (a fork has them off by default) for the `blocked` verdict to land anywhere; without them the lookup only warns, but a blocked roll fails the job with the report in the summary and the artifact.
 - The automatic merge uses the workflow token: keep the repository setting "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" on, and do not require reviews from branch protection for `roll_*` branches, or the merge step only leaves a comment and the PR waits.

-Nothing yet.
+### Fixed
+- Upstream roll: a repository with issues disabled (a fork has them off by default) no longer fails the `detect` job. The blocked-issue lookup warns and continues, and a blocked roll that cannot open an issue says so with the report in the job summary and the artifact.
+- `npm pack` from a working tree no longer picks up the ignored `skills/patchright-cli-workspace/` evaluation runs: `files` names `skills/patchright-cli` instead of `skills`. Release tarballs, built from a clean checkout, are unchanged.
