Enhance kanban workflow with multi-stage validation and fixes

[saadqbal]

Note

Medium Risk
Medium risk because it changes GitHub Actions automation that updates Project v2 Status and can block promotions to staging/main/master if misconfigured (status names/options, tokens, commit-subject parsing). No application runtime or production data paths are touched.

Overview
Adds a multi-stage functional review flow to the kanban automation: deploy pushes now set Status to FR on dev/FR on staging/Prod (instead of only marking prod as Done) while still updating Deploy environment, and status updates now skip gracefully if the target option can’t be resolved.

Introduces an FR gate reusable workflow (with per-repo caller) that becomes a required check on promotions to staging/main/master, failing the PR unless all promoted items are already in Ready for staging/Ready for prod (with a visible skip-fr-gate override label).

Adds a /fr-pass comment handler (with per-repo caller) that advances items from FR on dev→Ready for staging and FR on staging→Ready for prod and reacts to the comment for feedback; updates kanban closure routing to use the new status names and default manual issue completion to Prod, and trims unneeded pull-requests: write permissions from wip-limit-check.yml.

FR gate fails on successful validation happy path

High Severity

The last line [ -n "$MISSING" ] && echo "..." causes the script to exit with code 1 when $MISSING is empty — which is the normal success path where all items are on the kanban and pass validation. The [ -n "" ] test returns exit code 1, the && short-circuits, and since this is the script's final command, the shell exits with 1, causing GitHub Actions to mark the step as failed. Ironically, the gate only passes when some items are missing from the kanban (making $MISSING non-empty). Adding || true after the && chain or using an if statement would fix this.
