Skip Deliver and Deploy when no app artifacts exist

[Copilot]

❔What, Why & How

Initial commits fail Deliver/Deploy actions when org-level StorageContext or deployment settings are configured, throwing "Error - unable to locate apps" before any apps are built.

Changes:

• Deliver action: Check for app artifacts ($project-$refname-Apps-*.*.*.* pattern) after listing artifacts. Skip project iteration if none found.

  $appArtifactsExist = @(Get-ChildItem -Path (Join-Path $artifactsFolder "$project-$refname-Apps-*.*.*.*") -Directory -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Count -gt 0
  if (-not $appArtifactsExist) {
      Write-Host "No app artifacts found for project '$project'. Skipping delivery."
      continue
  }

• Deploy action: Validate $apps array after GetAppsAndDependenciesFromArtifacts call. Exit cleanly if empty.

  if ($apps.Count -eq 0) {
      Write-Host "No apps found to deploy to environment '$environmentName'. Skipping deployment."
      exit 0
  }

✅ Checklist

• Add tests (E2E, unit tests)
• Update RELEASENOTES.md
• Update documentation (e.g. for new settings or scenarios)
• Add telemetry

<issue_title>[Bug]: Deliver to blob storage fails on Initial commit</issue_title>
<issue_description>### AL-Go version

8.2

Describe the issue

if OrgSettings + OrgSecret are being used to Deliver to blob storage the Initial commit will fail with

Error: Unexpected error when running action. Error Message: Error - unable to locate apps, StackTrace: at , D:\a_actions\microsoft\AL-Go-Actions\v8.2\Deliver\Deliver.ps1: line 308 <- at , D:\a_actions\microsoft\AL-Go-Actions\v8.2\Deliver\Deliver.ps1: line 302 <- at , D:\a_temp\65e3a2a2-9717-48fe-9093-d7a6d02cf2e1.ps1: line 3 <- at , D:\a_actions\microsoft\AL-Go-Actions\v8.2\Invoke-AlGoAction.ps1: line 21 <- at , D:\a_temp\65e3a2a2-9717-48fe-9093-d7a6d02cf2e1.ps1: line 2 <- at , : line 1

Expected behavior

Skip delivery section if no AL project are present in the repository.

Steps to reproduce

1. add a Org secret for STORAGECONTEXT.

2. add
   "DeliverToStorage": {
   "CreateContainerIfNotExist": true
   },
   to Org variable ALGOORGSETTINGS.

3. create a new repository from AL-Go PTE template

4. let the Initial commit run to the delivery section.

Additional context (logs, screenshots, etc.)

this seems to be a similarly issue as #2083 only for delivery section instead of the sign section sign</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Please fix the issue to only initiate the delivery if there are apps in the repository.</agent_instructions>
