kshitij f51aa6a9b5 fix(ci): repair red main — busy-mode test + missing checkout in skills-index workflows
Three separate reds on main. Two are fixed here; the third needs no code.

1. tests/gateway/test_multiplex_busy_input_mode.py (blocks every merge)

Fails "Python tests / Run tests slice 5/12" and therefore "All required
checks pass". Semantic merge conflict between two PRs merged ~1h apart:

  a31be480 fix(gateway): respect routed profile busy modes             (added the test)
  c8f235a1 feat(gateway): allow selective multiplex profile serving    (added the gate)

c8f235a1 taught _profile_name_for_source to reject a route whose target
profile is not in the served set (profiles_to_serve). Each PR was green on
its own base; neither ran against the other's merge result.

The test asserts a route to profile "research" resolves to that profile's
busy mode, but never patches profiles_to_serve — so it reads the runner's
REAL on-disk profiles. "research" is not among them, the route is rejected
before the busy-mode snapshot is consulted, and the assertion gets the
gateway default:

  WARNING gateway.run: Rejecting profile route 'research-chat':
                       target profile 'research' is not served
  AssertionError: assert 'interrupt' == 'steer'

Patch profiles_to_serve for the assertion — the same seam every sibling
test in tests/gateway/test_profile_resolution.py already patches
(test_route_inside_allowlist_resolves, test_route_outside_allowlist_rejects).

This also removes an ambient-state dependency: the test previously passed
or failed based on which profiles happened to exist on the machine running
it. Verified passing under an empty HERMES_HOME.

Test-only. The serving gate from c8f235a1 is correct and left intact.

2. Skills-index workflows: local action used without actions/checkout

check-freshness has failed on all 12 of its last 12 scheduled runs:

  ##[error]Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' under
  '.../.github/actions/get-app-token'. Did you forget to run
  actions/checkout before running your local action?

./.github/actions/get-app-token is a LOCAL composite action and cannot
resolve without the repo on disk. skills-index-freshness.yml had no
checkout step at all. The step is gated on `status != 'ok'`, so the
watchdog broke exactly when it was supposed to file its issue — the live
index is currently 521.4h stale (limit 26h) and nobody was told.

An audit of all workflows for this bug class found one more instance:
skills-index.yml's `trigger-deploy` job, which re-triggers the docs deploy
so a refreshed index reaches the live site. Its sibling `build-index` job
checks out; this one did not. That is plausibly why the index went stale
in the first place. Both are fixed; the audit now reports zero remaining
jobs that use a local action without a prior checkout.

Pinned to the same actions/checkout SHA used by the other 35 call sites.

3. "Publish inline E2E evidence" — no fix needed

Failed once at 13:33Z on a transient TLS error reaching api.github.com
("certificate is not valid for any names") while installing a gh
extension. The last 25 runs of that workflow are 25/25 success. Infra
blip, not a code defect.
