[MOSIP-44751]fix :helmsman workflows always deploy java11 profile regardless of selected profile

[bhumi46]

Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Notes

• Chores
  • Improved CI/CD workflow reliability with enhanced profile detection logic and fallback mechanisms across multiple deployment pipelines to handle edge cases in build triggering
  • Strengthened error handling by providing explicit error messages instead of silent defaults when profile configuration cannot be detected
  • Better visibility into deployment issues with clearer error reporting for faster troubleshooting

Walkthrough

Updated GitHub Actions workflow profiles with enhanced auto-detection logic: added fallback git diff operations when initial profile detection fails, replaced silent defaults with explicit error handling that aborts on missing profiles, extended job outputs in external workflow, and updated dependencies to use matrix-generated profile values.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Profile Auto-Detection Fallback .github/workflows/helmsman_esignet.yml, .github/workflows/helmsman_mosip.yml, .github/workflows/helmsman_testrigs.yml	Added fallback logic to attempt git diff HEAD~1..HEAD when primary diff using github.event.before fails; replaced default profile assignments with hard failures (exit 1) when PROFILE extraction yields empty results.
Workflow Matrix and Dependencies .github/workflows/helmsman_external.yml	Extended set-matrix job outputs to expose profile; reworked profile determination to use github.event.inputs.profile for dispatch events or DSF directory detection for other triggers; added fallback git diff logic; updated workflow-caller dependencies and MOSIP trigger conditions to consume needs.set-matrix.outputs.profile.

Poem

🐰✨ Through tunnels of git and branches so deep,
When diffs take a nap or in shallows do sleep,
We hop back to HEAD, one step, then we leap,
With fallbacks so clever, no errors to keep!
No silent defaults—just honest, clear say,
The profile detection gets better today! 🌟

68-74: Consider edge case: multiple profiles changed simultaneously.

If changes span multiple profile directories (e.g., both mosip-platform-java11/ and mosip-platform-java21/), the matrix correctly includes DSF files from all profiles, but PROFILE output (line 70) only captures the first one. This first profile is then passed to the downstream MOSIP workflow (line 281).

For typical use cases this should be fine since changes usually target a single profile, but worth noting.

In @.github/workflows/helmsman_external.yml around lines 68 - 74, The current
logic sets PROFILE=$(echo "$changed_profiles" | head -1) which only picks the
first profile when multiple profiles are changed; update the logic that derives
PROFILE from changed_profiles to handle multiple profiles (either by exporting a
comma/newline-separated list or by erroring out if multi-profile changes are
unsupported) and ensure the downstream MOSIP workflow invocation consumes that
full list (not just the first element). Specifically, replace the head -1 usage
on changed_profiles and set PROFILE to the entire set (e.g., CSV or array) or
add a guard that fails with a clear message when multiple profiles are detected,
and update the downstream dispatch/inputs to accept the list instead of a single
PROFILE.
