Description

## Motivation

Link to the gh-aw PR: github/gh-aw#47722 — fix `add_comment` failures for discussion targeting and `workflow_dispatch` PR context.

The fix resolved two root causes: (1) `discussions: true` was absent from the `add-comment` config, causing the token to lack `discussions:write`; (2) the agent was using the wrong context when triggered via `workflow_dispatch` to post a comment on a discussion. The existing `test-copilot-add-discussion-comment` test only uses a `discussion:` trigger, so the `workflow_dispatch` + explicit discussion number path is untested.

## Proposed test

- **Workflow file**: `test-copilot-add-discussion-comment-dispatch.md`
- **Trigger**: `workflow_dispatch` (with a `discussion_number` input)
- **Engine**: copilot
- **Safe output**: `add-comment` (with `discussions: true`)
- **Variant**: standard

## Minimal test prompt sketch

The agent receives a discussion number via `workflow_dispatch` input. It posts a comment on that discussion using `add_comment` with the discussions permission. The test asserts the comment was created and validates that `discussions: true` in the safe-output config is honoured.

## New fixtures or secrets needed

None. `githubnext/gh-aw-test` already has open discussions that can serve as the target (the harness can create one or reuse an existing fixture discussion).

## Notes

The existing `test-copilot-add-discussion-comment` exercises the same safe output but via a `discussion:` event trigger. This test specifically covers the `workflow_dispatch` path that was broken before PR #47722.

Research direction

Create test-copilot-add-discussion-comment-dispatch.md, following the existing test-copilot-add-discussion-comment workflow. Use a workflow_dispatch trigger with a discussion_number input and the copilot engine, then verify the add_comment output creates a discussion comment and honors discussions: true. Use an open discussion in githubnext/gh-aw-test as the target; no new fixtures or secrets are needed.
