📄 Description

The strategy context was missing job-index and job-total attributes, which are documented in the GitHub Actions contexts reference. Workflows using strategy.job-index or strategy.job-total would get empty values.

Changes

Added JobIndex and JobTotal fields to RunContext struct
Set them in the matrix iteration loop in runner.go (line 190: for i, matrix := range matrixes)
Included job-index and job-total in the strategy map in both expression evaluator paths in expression.go

Test

Added TestStrategyJobIndexAndTotal in expression_test.go that:

Creates a RunContext with JobIndex=3 and JobTotal=5
Verifies strategy.job-index evaluates to 3
Verifies strategy.job-total evaluates to 5
Also checks strategy.fail-fast and strategy.max-parallel still work

Test fails without the fix (build error: RunContext has no field JobIndex/JobTotal), passes with it.

Tested locally on macOS ARM (Apple Silicon). All expression/unit tests pass. Pre-existing Docker-dependent test failures unrelated to this change.

Fixes #5976
