Scaffolded orchestrator workflow should skip LLM when needs:human gate is open

[genesis-dev-bot]

What went wrong

The scaffolded genesis-orchestrator.yml (scheduled, runs every 6h) invokes the Claude Code Action unconditionally. When a needs:human gate issue is open, the orchestrator has nothing to do — it reads state, confirms the gate, and exits. Each of these idle runs costs ~$0.13.

Observed in: Sayfan-AI/ronny-learns-ai
Duration: Issue #616 sat open for 4+ days (milestone completion waiting for human approval), producing 17 idle runs ($2.21 wasted).

Proposed fix

Add a pre-flight step in the scaffolded genesis-orchestrator.yml before the anthropics/claude-code-action step:

- name: Check for open needs:human gate
  id: gate-check
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}
  run: |
    COUNT=$(gh issue list --label "needs:human" --state open --json number --jq length)
    if [ "$COUNT" -gt 0 ]; then
      echo "skip=true" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
      echo "Skipping LLM run: $COUNT open needs:human issue(s) require human action."
      gh issue list --label "needs:human" --state open --json number,title --jq '.[] | "  #\(.number) \(.title)"'
    else
      echo "skip=false" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
    fi

- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
  if: steps.gate-check.outputs.skip != 'true'
  with: ...

Important: This guard should only be on the scheduled orchestrator workflow template, NOT on the events workflow (genesis-events.yml). A human closing a needs:human issue fires via the events workflow and IS the trigger to advance — that workflow must always run.
