…ippet The CI snippet for --only-changed used $GITHUB_BASE_REF directly, but actions/checkout only creates remote-tracking branches, not local ones. This causes the error "does not have 'main' available locally" even with fetch-depth: 0. Prefixing with origin/ resolves the reference correctly. Fixes: microsoft#39555

In pull_request workflows,
actions/checkoutcreates remote-tracking branches (e.g.origin/main) rather than local branch refs, even withfetch-depth: 0. Using--only-changed=$GITHUB_BASE_REFfails with:This updates the snippet to use
origin/$GITHUB_BASE_REFwhich correctly resolves the remote-tracking branch.Fixes #39555
