Strengthen persona workflow guidance for path scoping, escalation dedup, and toolset selection

[Copilot]

Persona exploration showed strong trigger/safe-output guidance but gaps in specificity: path scopes for design/compliance scenarios were too generic, escalation dedup rules were not consistently first-class, and tool recommendations needed clearer default-vs-optional guidance.

• What changed

  • create-agentic-workflow.md
    • Added explicit persona-oriented pull_request.paths examples for:
      • design-token/theme reviews (tokens/**, **/*tokens*.json, **/theme/**)
      • compliance/policy reviews (policy/**, compliance/**, controls/**, docs/policies/**)
    • Expanded the workflow scoping checklist with persona-specific path-scope guidance.
  • triggers.md
    • Promoted escalation discipline into the main workflow_run failure-triage pattern:
      • derive a stable failure key
      • search for an existing open incident before creating a new one
      • noop on duplicates
  • github-agentic-workflows.md
    • Added a compact persona-to-toolset matrix (Program Manager, Designer, Legal/Compliance) clarifying when tools.github.toolsets: [default] is sufficient vs when to explicitly include playwright and/or cache-memory.

• Illustrative snippet

  on:
    pull_request:
      paths:
        - tokens/**
        - '**/*tokens*.json'
        - '**/theme/**'
        - policy/**
        - compliance/**
        - controls/**
        - docs/policies/**
