Scope PR review workflows with path-based trigger filters to reduce redundant API load

[Copilot]

PR-triggered reviewer workflows were over-firing on non-implementation changes and driving disproportionate REST API usage. This narrows trigger scope so reviewers run when code/design-relevant files change, while preserving explicit/manual invocation paths.

• Trigger scoping for PR reviewers

  • Added pull_request.paths-ignore to:
    • mattpocock-skills-reviewer.md
    • impeccable-skills-reviewer.md
    • pr-code-quality-reviewer.md
  • Ignored doc/metadata-only surfaces (*.md, docs/**, .changeset/**, socials/**, scratchpad/**) to avoid no-op reviews.

• Design Decision Gate scoping

  • Added pull_request.paths to design-decision-gate.md so enforcement runs on implementation-relevant areas:
    • actions/**, cmd/**, internal/**, pkg/**, docs/adr/**, .design-gate.yml

• Compiled workflow parity

  • Recompiled corresponding .lock.yml files so runtime behavior matches source workflow definitions.

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [ready_for_review]
    paths-ignore:
      - '*.md'
      - 'docs/**'
      - '.changeset/**'
      - 'socials/**'
      - 'scratchpad/**'

Expanded the design-decision-gate.md paths filter in 571bac0 to include all implementation surfaces that were missing: eslint-factory/**, scripts/**, tools.go, and .github/workflows/**. The lock file has been recompiled and make fmt passes.

Review thread addressed (replied to the copilot-pull-request-reviewer thread on design-decision-gate.md). make fmt passes locally. Branch is already up to date with main (merge commit 40a3826). CI needs a human re-trigger after the agent's pushes.

Unresolved review threads to close out:...

The review thread at #discussion_r3617231271 has been replied to with the code fix (571bac0), but the agent cannot call the resolveReviewThread GraphQL mutation from this environment. A maintainer needs to click "Resolve conversation" on that thread in the GitHub UI to close it out. Everything else is ready: make fmt passes, branch is up to date with main (40a3826).
