Added logic to proceed in pipeline when trying to re-run jobs without commit

[m-brando]

Added logic to allow the pipeline to proceed when re-running jobs without requiring a new commit.

This improves testing speed. If the pipeline failed for a reason unrelated to the code (before the edit-kustomization job) - you had to push an empty commit to restart pipeline.
That would re-run the entire pipeline from the beginning, even if most jobs had already passed. Example: https://github.com/berops/claudie/actions/runs/18340633694/attempts/2

If you do not commit new message and re-run pipeline manualy pipeline will fail. Here is example of this: https://github.com/berops/claudie/actions/runs/18340633694/job/52285267386#step:8:20

Adding the if statement in the step Commit new kustomization.yaml to feature branch can save over 30 minutes during testing.

Walkthrough

CI workflow updated to conditionally commit and push changes to kustomization.yaml only when staged modifications exist, replacing unconditional git commit/push with a guarded check and informational message when no changes are present.

Changes

CI guard for empty commits

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Guard commit/push for kustomization update .github/workflows/CI-pipeline.yml	Replaced unconditional git commit/git push with a conditional block that checks for staged changes; commits and pushes only when changes are detected, otherwise logs a no-op message.
