PR Summary: CI maintenance — switches Slack notification condition from a job outputs.status pattern to needs.<job>.result, and removes esbenp from cspell wordlist while reformatting ignorePaths.

Code Quality

✅ Style guide — Unable to fetch the remote style guide, but the changes are minimal YAML/JSON config edits with no language-specific style concerns.

✅ No commented-out code — No commented-out code present.

✅ Meaningful variable names — N/A for this change.

✅ DRY principle — N/A.

✅ Defects / Logic correctness — The core fix is correct. Using needs.<job>.result is the proper GitHub Actions built-in property for job outcome (success, failure, cancelled, skipped). The previous pattern of piping job.status through an outputs field was fragile and known to not capture cancelled reliably since a cancelled job may not execute the step that sets the output. This change aligns with GitHub Actions best practices.

✅ No project CLAUDE.md — No .claude/CLAUDE.md found, nothing to check.

---

Testing

✅ No new functions/endpoints — Pure CI config change; no unit or integration tests required.

---

Documentation

✅ README — No functional change requiring README updates.

✅ API docs — N/A.

✅ Inline comments — N/A for this scope.

❓ CHANGELOG.md — Not included in the diff. For CI-only maintenance PRs this is often skipped, which is acceptable, but worth confirming per project convention.

✅ Markdown formatting — No Markdown files changed.

---

Security

✅ No hardcoded credentials — Clean.

✅ Input validation — N/A.

✅ Error handling — The fix actually improves failure detection reliability.

✅ No sensitive data in logs — N/A.

✅ No license files — No .lic files or AQAAAD-prefixed strings.

---

Summary

This is a clean, focused CI maintenance PR. The primary change is a well-known GitHub Actions correctness fix: needs.<job>.result is the canonical way to check a dependent job's outcome, whereas the outputs.status pattern was an unofficial workaround that could silently miss cancelled states. The cspell.json cleanup (removing esbenp and reformatting ignorePaths to multi-line) is cosmetic and harmless.

No blocking issues. Approved.
