Add script to run all GitHub Actions workflows locally

[Copilot]

No existing way to run the repository's CI workflows locally before pushing.

Changes

• run_workflows_locally.sh – new executable script at the repo root that:

  • Auto-installs Docker (Linux: get.docker.com, macOS: Homebrew cask) and act (official install script / Homebrew) if not already present

  • Starts the Docker daemon if it isn't running

  • Runs each workflow against the catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest image with the appropriate event trigger:

    Workflow	Event
    test.yml	push
    pylint.yml	push
    integration-tests.yml	push
    hassfest.yaml	push
    validate.yaml	workflow_dispatch
    release.yaml	skipped by default

  • release.yaml is excluded by default since it requires a real GITHUB_TOKEN with write permissions and uploads to an actual GitHub release; opt in with --include-release

  • Prints a colour-coded pass/skip/fail summary

Usage

./run_workflows_locally.sh                   # run all except release
./run_workflows_locally.sh --include-release # run everything
