Add job dependency to ensure bump-main-version runs after inter-branch merge

[Copilot]

Problem

The branch-snap.yml workflow had two jobs (check-script and bump-main-version) that were running in parallel without any dependency relationship. This meant that the version bump could potentially occur before the inter-branch merge completed, which could lead to timing issues or incorrect behavior.

Solution

Added a needs: check-script dependency to the bump-main-version job on line 16 of .github/workflows/branch-snap.yml. This ensures that:

1. The check-script job (which performs the inter-branch merge via dotnet/arcade/.github/workflows/inter-branch-merge-base.yml) runs first
2. The bump-main-version job waits for check-script to complete successfully
3. Only after successful completion of the merge, the version bump job executes (when running on the main branch)

Changes

• File: .github/workflows/branch-snap.yml
• Change: Added needs: check-script to the bump-main-version job definition

This is a minimal, surgical change that establishes the proper execution order for the workflow jobs, ensuring the version bump happens only after the inter-branch merge completes.

Original prompt

On branch-snap.yml:15-15, Please update this to ensure that the bump-main-version job only runs after completion of the prior inter branch merge
