Change Description

Adds .github/workflows/ext-fprime-cfs-reference.yml, an external-project workflow that builds fprime-community/fprime_cfs_reference against the current F´ revision and runs its GDS integration tests. Patterned after the existing zephyr/led-blinker external workflows:

• reusable-get-pr-branch.yml to select a matching pr-<number> branch on the target repo when present
• nasa/fprime-actions reusable steps: make-space, external-repository-setup (with fprime_location: ./libs/fprime), upgrade-package (fprime-gds)
• Build via the reference's documented steps: make SIMULATION=native prep && make && make install
• Integration tests via nasa/fprime-actions/run-integration-tests against core-cpu1 with the GDS on port 15010

Rationale

The newly released CFS reference demonstrates F´ applications bridging to the cFS messaging bus; building and testing it against F´ devel protects against regressions in F´ that would break cFS interoperability, as is done for the zephyr and led-blinker references.

Testing/Review Recommendations

The workflow was verified end-to-end on the fork (build + 5 integration tests passing): JPL-Devin#199. The integration tests were merged in fprime-community/fprime_cfs_reference#1.

Future Work

• Merge Add basic GDS integration tests fprime-community/fprime_cfs_reference#1 (merged)
• RTEMS and remaining cFS-bundle CI on the reference repo: Restore RTEMS 5 build CI fprime-community/fprime_cfs_reference#2, Restore remaining cFS bundle CI (CodeQL, documentation, format check, static analysis, coverage) fprime-community/fprime_cfs_reference#3

AI Usage (see policy)

This pull request was authored by an AI agent (Devin), including the workflow file and integration tests, under human direction with CI verification on a fork.
