Description

## Motivation

Link to the gh-aw PR: github/gh-aw#47045 — Allow close_issue agents to choose state-reason at runtime

Previously `state-reason` in the `close-issue` safe-output config was scalar-only; the agent could not choose at runtime. This PR adds two new config modes: omitted (agent picks from `completed`, `not_planned`, `duplicate`) and list form (agent picks from a declared subset). No E2E test covers the list-form config or the omitted/agent-choice path.

## Proposed test

- **Workflow file**: `test-copilot-close-issue-state-reason-list.md`
- **Trigger**: `workflow_dispatch`
- **Engine**: copilot
- **Safe output**: `close-issue`
- **Variant**: standard

## Minimal test prompt sketch

Dispatch a workflow with `state-reason: [not_planned, duplicate]` in the close-issue frontmatter config. The prompt tells the agent the issue is a duplicate and to close it accordingly. Verify that `close-issue` is emitted with `state-reason: duplicate`.

## New fixtures or secrets needed

None. The test can create and close a scratch issue within `githubnext/gh-aw-test`, or target the triggering issue.

## Notes

Existing `test-copilot-close-issue.md` uses a fixed scalar `state-reason: not_planned`. Open suggestion #5447 covers duplicate-only detection but predates the list-config form. This test is distinct: it validates the new list-form config key and the agent runtime selection within a bounded set. A `samples:` block can declare `state-reason: duplicate` deterministically.

Research direction

Start by comparing test-copilot-close-issue.md with the proposed test-copilot-close-issue-state-reason-list.md workflow. Add a workflow_dispatch E2E case using the close-issue safe output with state-reason: [not_planned, duplicate], and use the suggested samples block for a deterministic duplicate selection. Done means the workflow emits close-issue with state-reason: duplicate; no new fixtures or secrets are needed.
