ci: run the check job on pull requests

A PR never got a CI run: the workflow triggered only on push to main
and on tags, so the risk/medium+ PR lane merged on local task check
alone (PR #66). pull_request now runs Lint/Test/Vet on the PR head;
build is gated to push and deploy already was, so a PR builds no
image, writes nothing to infra and sees no secrets.

Closes #68

-**Merge gate: `tbd_ship` (gitea-mcp#63) and `pr_merge` (gitea-mcp#74).** The two merge tools share one gate
-(`evaluateShipGate`). A PR is merged only when ALL of: the head commit's CI is fully green, the base branch is not
-review-protected, and the issue named in `issue` carries **exactly one** `risk/` label, `risk/low`. No `issue`, no
-`risk/` label, several, an unknown value (`risk/lowish`), `risk/medium`, `risk/high`, or an issue that cannot be read
-all fail closed: nothing is merged, the result is `merged:false` with a `reason`, the `ci_status` and the `risk` tier.
-Unclassified is not low. Above `risk/low` a human reviews and merges in the Gitea UI (which this gate does not touch).
-`pr_merge` additionally fails with an error, merging nothing, when the PR or the base's branch-protection state cannot
-be read. A merge conflict is still an error.
-Both tools bind the merge to the head commit whose CI the gate evaluated (`head_commit_id`), so a push to the PR
-branch after the check makes Gitea refuse the merge instead of merging unchecked code.
-
-Limits: the gate enforces the tier of the issue the caller names; it cannot prove that issue is the one the change
-belongs to, so the link is the caller's claim (local-dev rule 5's convention still applies). Not gated: merging in the
-Gitea UI, and `file_write_branch` committing directly to a branch (`main` included), which is how `risk/low` work
-reaches trunk. Platform-level enforcement for those is branch protection on `main` (local-dev#27 option 2).
-
 Shared tool-layer hygiene (`internal/tools/tool.go`):
 - **Alias normalization** — `repo`↔`name` and `number`↔`index` are reconciled so
   a tool works whichever spelling a caller sends (an explicit canonical wins).
