Subject: [PATCH] fix: skip vale-autofix when triggered by bot commit

When Phase 1 pushes a fix commit, the synchronize event triggers
a second workflow run. This run would cancel the first (losing
the Phase 1 summary) or produce an incomplete summary.

Now the workflow checks if the latest commit author is
github-actions[bot] and skips all steps if so. Also removes
cancel-in-progress so queued runs complete instead of cancelling.
