Merge upstream/main into fix/pipeline-resume-edge-cases

Resolved conflict in card-actions.tsx by: - Keeping pipeline_status check from our branch (supports pipeline_step_* statuses) - Adopting simplified Resume button logic from main (removed hasContext check and onVerify fallback) The Resume button now appears for features with: - status === 'in_progress' - status.startsWith('pipeline_') This combines our pipeline support fix with main's simplified button rendering logic.
