Problem

Branch protection on master requires a status context named plain build-linux. That job is a strategy.matrix, and without an explicit name: GitHub derives the check name from every matrix parameter:

build-linux (amd64, ubuntu-latest, linux, linux_gcc_64, gcc_64, x86_64-linux-gnu)
build-linux (arm64, ubuntu-24.04-arm, linux_arm64, linux_gcc_arm64, gcc_arm64, aarch64-linux-gnu)

So a context called build-linux is never reported, stays pending forever, and every PR shows BLOCKED while nothing is actually failing. #963 and #964 each had 18 passing checks and 0 failures, and both still had to be merged by hand.

Fix

Pin name: build-linux (${{ matrix.arch }}), so the checks report as build-linux (amd64) and build-linux (arm64) — short, stable, and unaffected if the matrix gains or loses parameters later.

Follow-up (repo settings, not code)

After this merges and the new names have reported once, the required contexts should change from:

build-linux, build-macos, build-windows, unit-tests-linux

to:

build-linux (amd64), build-linux (arm64), build-macos, build-windows, unit-tests-linux

build-macos, build-windows and unit-tests-linux are not matrix jobs and already report correctly.

Test plan

  • deploy.yml parses as valid YAML (18 jobs)
  • This PR's own checks report build-linux (amd64) / build-linux (arm64) — visible on this PR

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Improved deployment workflow check naming for clearer, more consistent status reporting.
    • Preserved compatibility with branch protection requirements when build matrix settings change.

Branch protection requires a status context named plain `build-linux`, but the
job is a matrix and GitHub derives its check name from EVERY matrix parameter,
so it reported as:

    build-linux (amd64, ubuntu-latest, linux, linux_gcc_64, gcc_64, x86_64-linux-gnu)

The bare `build-linux` context therefore never appeared, sat pending forever,
and every PR showed BLOCKED with nothing actually failing — #963 and #964 both
had to be merged by hand despite 18 green checks.

Pin `name: build-linux (${{ matrix.arch }})` so the job reports as
`build-linux (amd64)` / `build-linux (arm64)`: short, stable, and unaffected
if the matrix gains or loses parameters later.

The required contexts still need updating from `build-linux` to those two
names — a repo-settings change, done separately.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 37129

This change renames the Linux matrix checks, so branch protection must require build-linux (amd64) and build-linux (arm64) instead of build-linux. Until those settings are updated, otherwise-passing pull requests may remain blocked from merging.
