New event triggers for flows and external agents

<!-- categories: Duo Agent Platform -->

In previous versions of GitLab, you could only run flows and external agents when the service account was mentioned, assigned, or added as a reviewer. Coordinating automation around the rest of the merge request lifecycle, or around work item creation, required external glue.

You can now configure triggers for four additional events:

• Merge request ready: A user marks a draft merge request as ready for review. Previously released behind a feature flag, this event trigger is now generally available.
• Merge request code conflict: A merge request can no longer be merged because of a code conflict.
• Merge request approved: A merge request receives all its required approvals.
• Work item created: A user creates a work item in the project.

To configure a trigger, go to AI > Triggers in your project, or select one when you enable a flow.
