[github-actions]

Problem

The Q workflow has been at 100% action_required for 10+ consecutive days. PR #43527 ("Add shared prompt quality gate for plateaued agent-review workflows") was merged on 2026-07-05, but as of 2026-07-15 the Q workflow still shows 100% AR (4/4 runs today).

The quality gate fix has had zero observable impact.
