Description: Problem checkGitHubCI() blocks landing with ✘ GitHub CI is still running whenever any GitHub Actions check suite has a status other than COMPLETED. GitHub occasionally creates check suites that remain stuck in QUEUED with zero check runs — they are never dispatched and will never complete. These orphaned suites block the commit queue indefinitely, forcing collaborators to land PRs manually with git node land. This was discussed in #1160 and observed on at least two recent nodejs/node PRs (#64991, #64830), both stuck on an orphaned Test macOS suite and landed manually. Fix Skip a non-completed suite only when both: it has zero check runs (checkRuns.nodes.length === 0), and it was created more than 3 hours ago. A legitimately queued suite gets its check runs attached within seconds, so it will not match. Suites with active runs still block as before, and a freshly created empty suite (within the window) is not skipped. This is strictly narrower than the current manual workaround (git node land --yes), which bypasses all checks including real failures. Adds createdAt to the checkSuites GraphQL query to compute suite age. Trade-off If someone adds commit-queue before request-ci has finished triggering all workflows, a suite that should have run but hasn't started yet could — after aging past the 3h threshold — be skipped, landing the PR without that workflow's results. The 3h window makes this unlikely in practice, and the timeout can be made configurable in a follow-up if desired. Test Added a unit test with an orphaned suite (0 runs, old createdAt) alongside a completed suite; the checker now passes instead of blocking. test/unit/pr_checker.test.js: 74/74 pass. Refs: #1160 Validated against the affected PRs Ran the skip condition against the live check-suite data of both PRs that were stuck on this: PR Orphaned suite runs age result with this fix #64991 queued 0 ~199h skipped → unblocked #64830 queued 0 ~358h skipped → unblocked In both cases the single orphaned suite is exactly what blocked the commit queue, and this change lets the check pass instead of hanging indefinitely.
