Event service PR pipeline fails with template not found

One-sentence summary: event-service repositories scaffolded on Forge 3.8.2 or earlier reference a pipeline template name that never existed; point the extends: block at the correct template.

🚨 Symptom

The PR validation pipeline for an event-service repository fails at queue time:

Template reference not found: azure-event-service-pr-v2.yml@templates

Appears in Azure DevOps when a PR triggers .azdo/azure-pipelines-pr.yml.

📌 Applies to

Aspect Value
Component Azure DevOps pipelines, saif-event-service template
Forge versions Repositories scaffolded on 3.8.2 and earlier
Related versions SAIF/pipeline-templates at refs/heads/releases/v3

🧠 Cause

The saif-event-service template generated a pipeline that extends azure-event-service-pr-v2.yml@templates, but no template with that name exists in SAIF/pipeline-templates. The Forge template source has been corrected for future scaffolds, but existing repositories keep their generated file.

✅ Fix

In .azdo/azure-pipelines-pr.yml, update the extends: block:

extends:
  template: azure-event-service-pr.yml@templates # was: azure-event-service-pr-v2.yml@templates

🔬 Verify

Push the change or re-queue the PR pipeline. The run starts instead of failing at template resolution.
