Suppress no-op Workflow Health Dashboard issues

[Copilot]

The Workflow Health Manager was opening a daily dashboard issue even when the run found no new work: all failures were already tracked and overall health status was unchanged. This change makes the dashboard report conditional on material deltas instead of emitting routine no-op issues.

• Behavior change

  • Teach workflow-health-manager to create/update the dashboard issue only when the run has a meaningful change to report.
  • Treat these as report-worthy deltas:
    • new or updated workflow-health issues
    • reprioritized or closed tracked issues
    • newly observed untracked critical/systemic problems
    • meaningful changes in compilation status, health trends, or approval-gate volume

• No-op path for stable runs

  • In runs where findings are already tracked and health state is materially unchanged, the workflow now calls noop instead of creating a new dashboard issue.

• Compiled workflow update

  • Regenerated workflow-health-manager.lock.yml to keep the compiled workflow aligned with the prompt change.

13. **Generate health report:**
    - Only create/update the workflow health dashboard issue when this run has a **material delta** to report
    - If all findings are already tracked, no issue state changed, and no meaningful health status changed, call `noop`

Hey @app/copilot-swe-agent 👋 — thanks for working on the workflow health dashboard update! Here are a few things to finalize:

• Remove WIP status — The title still has [WIP]. Once the PR is ready for review, update it to remove the work-in-progress marker.
• Test coverage — A test case was removed from render_template.test.cjs. If the removal is intentional due to logic changes, confirm the modified render_template.cjs behavior is correct and add a new test case to cover the edge case if needed.
• Verify workflow changes — The concurrency group and condition updates across approach-validator.lock.yml and daily-syntax-error-quality.lock.yml look like normalization changes. Confirm these align with the actual workflow health improvements.

Once these are addressed, this looks good to go!
