Subject: [PATCH 5/6] ci: prevent dependabot pipeline from running on
 non-dependabot PRs

Guard finalize against the skipped-pipeline cascade and require a
successful verdict job before flag-for-review can label a PR, so the
workflow no longer creates spurious check runs or labels on PRs from
other authors.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ci: require explicit verdict marker in agent comment

Match only github-actions[bot] comments carrying a DEPENDABOT_VERDICT
marker so an unrelated agent comment (e.g. a prior /strands review)
cannot be misread as this PR's verdict.
