fix(ci): all-required sentinel assertion skips Phase-3 null results

Phase 3 (RFC #219 §1): underlying build jobs use continue-on-error:
true to surface defects without blocking PRs. When a Phase-3 job fails,
its `needs.*.result` is null (not "failure"). The original assertion
`v.get("result") != "success"` treated null as bad, hard-failing the
sentinel on Phase-3 noise.

Fix (assertion only — continue-on-error: true NOT added to sentinel):
- Assertion updated: `v.get("result") not in ("success", None)` — null
  results from Phase-3 continue-on-error: true failures are skipped.
- Null means the job used continue-on-error: true and failed. This is
  expected Phase-3 behavior — skip rather than fail.
- failure / skipped / cancelled still fail the sentinel (correct — real
  problems that need human review).

NOTE: continue-on-error: true is intentionally NOT added to the
all-required job itself. With the assertion fix, null results are
already skipped so Phase-3 jobs don't hard-fail the sentinel.
