Deploy mode (action: deploy)

Replace 4 separate action calls with a single step. The action automatically detects the job outcome and reports the final status.

Before (v1):

# 4 separate steps needed: deploying, deployed, error, cancelled
- uses: donedgardo/build-reporter@v1
  with:
    action: update-status
    status: deploying
    ...
- uses: donedgardo/build-reporter@v1
  if: success()
  with:
    action: update-status
    status: deployed
    ...
# ... 2 more steps for error and cancelled

After (v2):

# Single step - post-step auto-detects outcome
- uses: donedgardo/build-reporter@v2
  with:
    api-key: ${{ secrets.GITLAUNCH_API_KEY }}
    service-id: ${{ vars.GITLAUNCH_SERVICE_ID }}
    environment: ${{ inputs.environment }}
    build-id: ${{ inputs.buildId || github.sha }}
    action: deploy

How it works

  1. Main step reports deploying status and saves context
  2. Post step runs automatically after the job completes
  3. Post step reads GITHUB_JOB_STATUS and reports deployed, error, or cancelled

Backwards compatible

report-build and update-status action modes work exactly as before.
