Test qa.yaml with starflow PR #101 changes
Metadata
Current evaluation
Temporary cross-repo validation PR pinning qa.yaml starflow workflow refs to the @copilot/use-pristine-ubuntu-action branch (starflow PR #101) instead of @main. 268 days old, no activity in 266 days, failing CI; current qa.yaml already uses @main.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The PR is explicitly 'temporary for cross-repo validation' of starflow PR #101, is 268 days old with no activity in 266 days, and the current .github/workflows/qa.yaml already references starflow workflows at @main for all jobs — so the temporary branch-pinning it introduces is no longer applicable. It also fails CI broadly (test-common, test-java/python/other-plugins, lint/files, Conventional Commits, OSV-scanner), and the maintainer's only request (use branch name) was already addressed before it went silent.

## Description
Tests craft-parts 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 6 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` (5 jobs)
**Note**: This is temporary for cross-repo validation.
