Harden gh-aw extension install in CI/CD gaps assessment workflow

[Copilot]

Bug Fix

What was the bug?

The scheduled CI/CD Pipelines and Integration Tests Gap Assessment workflow failed on main because gh extension install github/gh-aw exited on HTTP 401: Bad credentials during extension install, aborting the agent job before execution.

How did you fix it?

• Install-path resilience in workflow lock file
  • Updated .github/workflows/ci-cd-gaps-assessment.lock.yml to keep the current authenticated install path first, then retry once without GH_TOKEN if the initial install fails with token-related auth issues.
• Failure-mode containment
  • Preserved existing behavior for successful authenticated installs.
  • Added only a narrow fallback around extension installation; no other workflow stages or permissions were changed.

if ! gh extension install github/gh-aw; then
  echo "Initial install failed, retrying without GH_TOKEN..."
  GH_TOKEN="" gh extension install github/gh-aw
fi

Testing

• Workflow-only corrective change; no new product behavior or interface changes.

Pull request overview

This PR hardens the scheduled CI/CD Pipelines and Integration Tests Gap Assessment workflow by making gh-aw extension installation more resilient when an authenticated install fails (e.g., due to HTTP 401: Bad credentials), reducing the chance the job aborts before running the agent.

Changes:

• Wraps gh extension install github/gh-aw with a single retry that clears GH_TOKEN on failure.
• Removes an extraneous trailing blank line at the end of the workflow file.
