Description
## Problem
Workflow concurrency currently uses branch-level `cancel-in-progress: true`, which can terminate long-running `provision` executions and amplify state drift/retry churn.
## Type
- tech debt
## Evidence
- `.github/workflows/azd-deploy.yml` uses:
- `concurrency.group: azd-deploy-${{ github.ref }}`
- `cancel-in-progress: true`
- Recent runs:
- https://github.com/Azure-Samples/tutor/actions/runs/23126353038 (cancelled during `Provision infrastructure` after ~90m)
- https://github.com/Azure-Samples/tutor/actions/runs/23125888889 (cancelled)
- Repeated cancellations overlap with ongoing provision and obstruct clean convergence.
## Reproduction
1. Start a `workflow_dispatch` deploy on `main`.
2. Trigger another deploy/push on same ref before completion.
3. Observe prior in-flight run cancellation and interrupted provision.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Concurrency is scoped per environment and does not cancel active `provision` in-flight for same env.
- [ ] New runs queue or fail-fast with explicit message instead of interrupting active infra apply.
- [ ] Workflow summary surfaces cancellation reason and superseding run id.
- [ ] Document runbook guidance for safe re-run behavior.
