NO-ISSUE: require branches to be up to date for merge-queue repos

[eliorerz]

Summary

• Drops the var.merge_queue != null ? false : true exception in modules/common_repository/main.tf so strict_required_status_checks_policy is unconditionally true for every repo's ci-status-checks ruleset.

Why

Merge queue only re-validates checks that actually listen for merge_group (e.g. unit tests, lint) against its rebased ref. Checks without that trigger — including all three e2e-*-gate checks required on osac and osac-test-infra — keep whatever result they last posted on the PR's own head SHA. That means a PR can sit stale relative to main (e.g. after a paired osac + osac-test-infra change lands) and still merge on old green checks, since nothing forces it to re-test against current main first.

Turning strict back on forces the branch to be updated to a new SHA before it can merge — a new SHA has no checks recorded yet, so every required check, not just the merge_group-aware ones, has to genuinely re-run against a real rebase onto current main.

This affects osac and osac-test-infra today (the only repos with merge_queue configured), and any future repo that adds one.

Test plan

• tofu validate — passes for this change (pre-existing, unrelated errors on push_allowances confirmed present on upstream/main before this change too)
• tofu fmt -check on the touched block — clean (whole-file fmt drift is pre-existing on upstream/main, unrelated to this diff)
• Confirm on next apply that osac's and osac-test-infra's ci-status-checks ruleset picks up strict_required_status_checks_policy: true

Walkthrough

The ruleset now always enables strict required status-check validation. This applies to configurations with and without merge queue support.

Changes

Status-check validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Enable strict validation modules/common_repository/main.tf	strict_required_status_checks_policy is now enabled unconditionally, including when var.merge_queue is set.

Explanation

AI use is explicit: the PR description names Claude Code, and the sole PR commit contains Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>. The commit has no Assisted-by or Generated-by trailer. This violates the attribution rule and uses the prohibited AI co-author trailer.

Resolution

Amend the commit message to remove Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> and add the required Red Hat attribution trailer, such as Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> or Generated-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>, according to the project’s required convention.

Update the merge_queue input description.

modules/common_repository/variables.tf says that setting merge_queue disables strict status checks. This assignment now enables them. Update the description so module users receive the correct configuration contract.
