Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ci: gate merging on a single Release Validation summary
 job
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a "summary" job to release-validation.yml that depends on
check-paths, build-artifacts, and install-and-smoke and runs
with if: always(). It translates the upstream conclusions into
a single binary verdict — success/skipped → pass, failure or
cancelled → fail — so the required check has a stable name and
a definite state regardless of whether upstream jobs ran or
were path-filtered out.

In .asf.yaml the required contexts drop from two matrix-suffixed
names ("Release Validation / build-artifacts", "Release Validation
/ install-and-smoke (3.12)") to one: "Release Validation / summary".

Why this is needed:
- PRs that only touch docs/ or website/ trigger check-paths to
  set should_run=false, which skips the heavy jobs.
- GitHub treats SKIPPED jobs as non-passing for required-status-
  checks, so those PRs were stuck in BLOCKED state forever
  (see commit a655edf2 for the previous attempt that didn't
  work for this exact reason).
- The summary job sidesteps the SKIPPED ambiguity because it
  always runs and always produces a definite SUCCESS or FAILURE.

Real code PRs are unaffected: if any release-validation job
fails, the summary fails, and merging is blocked.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] style: run black on burr/core/graph.py
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Drive-by fix — `f7a1750d` (rename shadowed `format` builtin)
left this file black-non-compliant for line-length=100. Caught
by pre-commit on this branch.
