Validate OpenCLA CLA check flow in grok-cli PRs

Added a test pull request containing an empty commit to trigger and verify the OpenCLA GitHub App CLA check flow in superagent-ai/grok-cli, instead of leaving compliance gate behavior unvalidated.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Introduced a dedicated no-op PR validation path that exercises CLA check creation and update behavior, making the repository’s contribution compliance gate explicitly testable.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Developers and maintainers in grok-cli now get a visible CLA gate check on pull requests, reducing the chance that merges are delayed by unexpected CLA failures after code is written. The change specifically drives the OpenCLA GitHub App check flow through an intentional PR and confirms status transitions, so teams should keep watching whether the check reliably runs on all real (non-empty) PRs and whether any false-positive/false-negative CLA results appear before relying on it for release/merge policy.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether OpenCLA becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around AI Governance and Compliance.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: cla_check_not_triggered, false_positive_cla_block.
