Remove wait-for-secret-scan job blocking Build and Deploy workflow

[Copilot]

The wait-for-secret-scan job blocks deployment waiting for a check "Scan for Secrets (AK/SK/Passwords)" that never runs against commits, causing workflow failures.

Changes

• Removed wait-for-secret-scan job from .github/workflows/push-redc-templates.yml
• Updated build-and-deploy dependency from needs: [wait-for-validation, wait-for-secret-scan] to needs: [wait-for-validation]

The secret scanning workflow in secret-scan.yml continues to run independently on push/PR events, but deployment no longer blocks on it.

Original prompt

Problem

The "Build and Deploy" workflow is failing in the wait-for-secret-scan job because it's waiting for a check named "Scan for Secrets (AK/SK/Passwords)" that never runs against the commits.

Error from logs:

The requested check was never run against this ref, exiting...
Process completed with exit code 1.

Failing job: https://github.com/wgpsec/redc-template/actions/runs/21282468439/job/61255526935

Commit ref: d1b88cd

Solution

Remove the wait-for-secret-scan job and its dependency from the workflow since the check it's waiting for doesn't exist in the repository.

Changes needed in .github/workflows/push-redc-templates.yml:

1. Delete the entire wait-for-secret-scan job (lines 31-40)
2. Update the build-and-deploy job's needs field to only depend on wait-for-validation (line 43)

Current code (lines 31-43):

  wait-for-secret-scan:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Wait for secret scanning to complete
        uses: lewagon/wait-on-check-action@v1.3.4
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.ref }}
          check-name: 'Scan for Secrets (AK/SK/Passwords)'
          repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          wait-interval: 10

  build-and-deploy:
    needs: [wait-for-validation, wait-for-secret-scan]

Should become:

  build-and-deploy:
    needs: [wait-for-validation]

This will allow the workflow to proceed after the validation check completes, without waiting for the non-existent secret scanning check.
