ci: tolerate upstream poky rebases + drop qemu-runtime cron#11
Merged
Conversation
Two unrelated CI failures rolled into one PR because they're both small.
1. ci.yml parse jobs were failing on scarthgap whenever the cached poky
checkout was older than upstream's rebased scarthgap tip:
! [rejected] scarthgap -> origin/scarthgap (non-fast-forward)
`git fetch ref:remote-ref` refuses non-fast-forward updates by
default. Switch to a `+ref:remote-ref` force refspec, and on any
harder failure fall back to a clean re-clone so a corrupted cache
never permanently wedges the matrix. qemu-runtime.yml had the same
bug -- fix it the same way.
2. qemu-runtime's weekly cron has been consistently hitting the GitHub
Actions 6h job-runtime cap (latest run cancelled at 6h 37min). The
full core-image-weston build from a cold sstate doesn't fit in the
hosted-runner budget. Drop the schedule and leave it as manual
dispatch only until we point it at a self-hosted runner with
persistent sstate.

*parse (scarthgap / ) — fails on cache restore when upstream poky/scarthgap has been rebased:
Switch the fetch refspec to the force form (`+ref:remote-ref`) and, on any harder failure, fall back to a clean re-clone so a corrupted/cache-poisoned poky tree never permanently wedges the matrix. qemu-runtime.yml had the identical bug — fixed the same way.
qemu-runtime — the weekly cron has been consistently hitting the GitHub Actions 6-hour job-runtime cap (latest run cancelled at 6h 37min). Drop the schedule; leave `workflow_dispatch` only until we point this at a self-hosted runner (e.g. fio) with persistent sstate. Avoids burning ~6h of CI minutes every Sunday on a guaranteed-failure run.
