Resolution: closed stale
Reason: PR #973 was closed without merging after roughly 296 days, with no comments or reviewers and mixed CI results. Its temporary @copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action references never landed; qa.yaml references Starflow's @main branch.

## 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.

This should include updates or additions that facilitate testing of the workflow or related process, referencing the changes or process established in PR #101 of the starflow project, if applicable. The intent is to validate that the qa.yaml workflow functions properly with those types of updates, similar to what was done in craft-parts.
