Enforce workflow and script syntax checks

[robbycochran]

Adds a fast, credential-free CI job for the static checks already used in local validation.

It validates GitHub Actions files with pinned actionlint and shell syntax for the test scripts.

Validation:

• git diff --check
• actionlint .github/workflows/*.yml
• bash -n on test scripts

Summary by CodeRabbit
