Run 5290 dispatched a refresh. Everything worked: the guard fired, the build published the candidate, the promote pointed :latest at it. And `smoke-web` reported conclusion "skipped", with no steps and no log. Its condition was `if: env.IS_REFRESH == 'true'`. The env context is available to STEP conditions and step bodies but never to a job's own `if:`, and an unresolvable context there evaluates to empty rather than erroring. So the gate skipped itself, silently, on the one run that existed to exercise it. Second silent-skip of this family today, after #3414. Same shape both times: something evaluated false, nothing failed, and the run reported success. It is worth naming the pattern — on this pipeline, "green" and "ran" are different claims, and the steps' own conclusions are the only place the difference shows. Fixed by keying off a job output rather than re-deriving the trigger: build-web now exposes the reuse step's `promote` decision as `outputs.candidate` and smoke-web consumes it. That is better than duplicating the expression: it is the same single decision the build, the XPI download and the promote all take already — build.yml's own "one decision drives everything downstream" — and it asserts the thing smoke-web actually depends on, that a candidate was published, rather than restating the reason one would be.
