ci: repin example fleet to the rc under test before fan-out - #217

Conversation
The fleet gate logged the resolved rc as the version under test, but the suites installed whatever each repo's manifest was statically pinned to, so a fresh rc was never actually validated until a manual repin. Add a repin job that downloads the rc binary, sets each example repo's manifest cli_version to the rc, replaces any other in-repo rc refs, regenerates the workflows against the rc, and pushes the result to each repo's main (idempotent, [skip ci], force-with-lease). All suite jobs now gate on repin so none run against a stale pin. Signed-off-by: Joshua Temple <joshua.temple@stablekernel.com>

Problem
The Fleet E2E gate resolves the rc version and logs it as "version under test", but the dispatch-suite action passes no version, so each example suite installs whatever its manifest is statically pinned to. A fresh rc was therefore never validated by the fleet until someone manually repinned the repos - the label outran reality.
Fix
Add a
repinjob (needs: resolve) that runs before all suite jobs. It downloads the rc linux/amd64 binary, verifiescascade versionmatches the rc, then for each of the 8cascade-example-*repos: clones main with the state token, sets the manifestcli_versionto the rc, replaces any other in-repo rc-version refs, regenerates the workflows with the rc binary, and commits + pushes only if something changed (idempotent, DCO-signed via --no-gpg-sign since CI has no GPG key,[skip ci], force-with-lease).primaryandindependentsnowneeds: [resolve, repin](dependents inherits via primary), so no suite runs against a stale pin. Cloning fresh main + version-sed + regen preserves every hand-written suite feature; only generated workflows are rewritten. The gate summary now reflects the version actually pinned.Verification
