Description
## Motivation
github/gh-aw#49814 — Adds explicit `jobs.agent.if` and `jobs.agent.needs` frontmatter for gating the generated agent job on custom setup jobs, instead of relying on the `on.needs` + top-level `if` cascade pattern.
## Proposed test
- **Workflow file**: `test-copilot-agent-job-if-gating.md`
- **Trigger**: `workflow_dispatch`
- **Engine**: copilot
- **Safe output**: `create-issue` (used only to confirm agent ran when gated `if` is true)
- **Variant**: standard
## Minimal test prompt sketch
Define a custom setup job that sets an output (e.g. `should_run: true`), configure `jobs.agent.needs: [setup]` and `jobs.agent.if: needs.setup.outputs.should_run == 'true'` in frontmatter, then have the agent create a small issue confirming it executed. Verifies the compiler correctly wires `jobs.agent.if`/`needs` instead of the older `on.needs` cascade.
## New fixtures or secrets needed
None.
## Notes
No existing test exercises `jobs.agent.if`/`jobs.agent.needs` frontmatter; existing custom-job tests use the older `on.needs` pattern. Not present in open-suggestions or fails.txt.
