workflow_dispatch adds a required branch input, but it isn’t used anywhere (e.g., actions/checkout still uses the default ref). As-is, the input has no effect and may confuse users. Also, switching from push to workflow_dispatch changes the event payload; later job conditions reference github.event.head_commit.message, which is absent for workflow_dispatch and can cause the job if: expression to behave unexpectedly/fail. Consider (a) using inputs.branch in checkout (ref:) and/or PR base, and (b) guarding the head_commit-based skip logic to only run on push events (or default missing messages to an empty string).

Applied both fixes in df3f986:

  1. inputs.branch wired into checkout — added ref: ${{ inputs.branch }} so the workflow actually checks out the branch the user specifies when triggering manually.
  2. head_commit.message guarded with || '' — each reference to github.event.head_commit.message in the job if: condition now falls back to an empty string when the field is absent (as it is for workflow_dispatch), so the skip-loop guards evaluate correctly without failing.
