fix: prevent welcome workflow from being skipped

[AnkanMisra]

Summary

• remove the duplicated job-level first-contributor condition
• keep eligibility and duplicate-comment checks in the tested trusted script

Root cause

PR #304 is classified as FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR, but GitHub evaluated the workflow job condition as false and skipped the job before assigning a runner. Because the same condition already exists in the script, the outer gate is unnecessary and prevents the tested logic from running.

Impact

First-time contributor PRs will start the welcome job. Bots, returning contributors, and already-welcomed PRs will still be skipped safely by the script.

Verification

• node --test .github/scripts/*.test.js
• go run github.com/rhysd/actionlint/cmd/actionlint@v1.7.7
• git diff --check

Note

Fix welcome workflow job to run for all contributor PRs

Removes the if condition on the welcome job in welcome-contributor.yml that restricted execution to non-bot, first-time contributors. The job now runs whenever the workflow triggers.
