Add explicit CI state classification command for gh-aw PR triage #18121

Description

@davidahmann

Problem
Operators currently infer check states from heterogeneous GitHub outputs, which leads to false-green triage when no checks is interpreted as success.

Why now
Cross-repo automation is now blocked on a deterministic check-state contract (failed, pending, no checks, policy-blocked).

Current behavior is insufficient
gh pr checks output is human-oriented and inconsistent across repos/workflow setups, so downstream tooling has to guess state.

Expected behavior
Provide a machine-readable classifier command in gh-aw that maps PR check rollups to normalized states.

Acceptance criteria

  • Command accepts repo + PR input and emits JSON.
  • JSON contains one normalized state plus supporting raw signals.
  • no checks reported is explicitly classified as no checks configured/not triggered.
  • Policy/account gates are classified separately from product failures.

Validation

  • Add fixture-based tests for failed, pending, no checks, and policy-blocked.
  • Verify deterministic output shape in CI.
