Subject: [PATCH] ci: run the template tests on GitHub Actions

The template ships a pytest suite (pytest-copie) that was only run
locally; two tests had drifted from the pin design and failed:

- source-tag is seeded by the initial_source_tag answer (recorded), not
  derived from an ephemeral secret version question
- the answers file records initial_source_tag

Update those to the current design and add a workflow: ruff check +
format on the repo and pytest on every PR touching template files and
on pushes to main.
