Test qa.yaml with starflow PR #101 changes
Metadata
Current evaluation
Temporary test PR pinning qa.yaml starflow workflow refs to @copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action branch for cross-repo validation of starflow PR #101. 266 days old, zero activity, target file has since been modified multiple times.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The PR body explicitly states 'This is temporary for cross-repo validation' to test starflow PR #101 before merging. It is 266 days old with zero comments or maintainer interaction, and the target file qa.yaml has since been modified by at least 5 subsequent commits (#1131, #1090, #1088, #1030, #789), meaning the +7/-2 diff would conflict. The referenced branch @copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action almost certainly no longer exists, making the validation purpose obsolete.

## Description
Tests craft-application qa.yaml workflow against starflow PR #101 changes before merging in both repositories.
## Changes
- Updated `.github/workflows/qa.yaml` to reference `@copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action` (the actual branch name from starflow PR #101) instead of `@main` for starflow workflows
- Added header comments linking to https://github.com/canonical/starflow/pull/101
All 2 workflow references now point to the PR branch:
- `canonical/starflow/.github/workflows/lint-python.yaml@copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action`
- `canonical/starflow/.github/workflows/test-python.yaml@copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action`
**Note**: This is temporary for cross-repo validation.
