Filter workflow events by mentions and assignment

Filter workflow events by mentions and assignment

Add mentioned, replied-to, assigned-to, and author filters to issue, comment, and change-request triggers. Move the role vocabulary into core/role so author.role is validated without importing the access store, and pin mentions, reply authors, and assignee changes in the event payload.

114 ## Filtering an event
115
116 A trigger can narrow an event to the cases a job cares about. This is how a coding
117 agent can wait to be asked, instead of running on every comment:
118
119 ```yaml
120 version: 1
121 name: Coding agent
122 on:
123 issue:
124 types: [opened, assigned]
125 assigned-to: [coding-agent]
126 comment:
127 types: [created]
128 mentioned: [coding-agent]
129 replied-to: [coding-agent]
130 author:
131 role: maintain
132 ```
133
134 `mentioned` matches an `@coding-agent` in the issue, comment, or change body.
135 `replied-to` matches a comment that answers one written by `coding-agent`.
136 `assigned-to` matches an issue that was assigned to it, including one opened with
137 that assignment already set. `author.role: maintain` is the ACL filter: it admits
138 maintainers and admins, not contributors or readers. Use `author.name` instead when the
139 rule is a list of people rather than a capability.
140
141 A comment is not treated as addressed to its own author, so the agent's reply does
142 not start it again. Mentions inside code samples are ignored. See
143 [Workflow reference § Event filters](reference/workflow-reference.md#event-filters)
144 for the exact rules.
145
146 A comment body is still untrusted text. If the job can write — comment, push a
147 branch, or open a change — use `author.role: maintain` or `author.name` to limit who can
148 start it, or rely on assignment, which requires triage. Read the agent's
149 instructions from the repository, never from the event body.
