fix(ci): scan-and-report — skip verisimdb dispatch when VERISIMDB_PAT is absent#156

…PAT; surface HTTP status on rejection VERISIMDB_PAT is declared optional (required: false), but consumers without it fell through to GITHUB_TOKEN, which can never dispatch to another repo — so every such consumer's Security Scan went red at the dispatch step with a bare curl exit 22 (seen on echidna run 28842498410 once the argv overflow from #155 was out of the way). - No PAT -> notice + skip dispatch; the scan result itself still gates. - With PAT -> capture and report the HTTP status + response body on rejection instead of a silent -f failure.

…urity Scan green without VERISIMDB_PAT) (#309) Follow-up to #307: with the argv overflow gone, Security Scan on main still failed at the dispatch step (run 28842498410) — echidna carries no `VERISIMDB_PAT` and the `GITHUB_TOKEN` fallback can never `repository_dispatch` to `verisimdb-data` (curl exit 22). hyperpolymath/panic-attack#156 makes the optional secret genuinely optional (`::notice` + skip) and prints the HTTP status/response on real rejections. This pins forward to its merge commit `6693e01`. Note for owner: if the estate wants echidna's scan results flowing into verisimdb-data again, mint/restore `VERISIMDB_PAT` (part of the PAT-rotation backlog) — the workflow will then dispatch again automatically. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
VERISIMDB_PATis declared optional inscan-and-report.yml, but consumers without it fall back toGITHUB_TOKEN— which is scoped to the calling repo and can never fire arepository_dispatchatverisimdb-data. Result: every consumer without the PAT gets a red Security Scan at the dispatch step (barecurlexit 22), even though the scan itself passed. Seen on echidna run 28842498410 immediately after #155 removed the argv overflow that had been masking it.::notice+ skip the dispatch step; the scan result still gates the job.%{http_code}and print the API response body on rejection, so a real dispatch failure is diagnosable.Verification
