ci: give build-linux a stable matrix check name - #965
Conversation
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.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 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. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Problem
Branch protection on
masterrequires a status context named plainbuild-linux. That job is astrategy.matrix, and without an explicitname:GitHub derives the check name from every matrix parameter:So a context called

Pin

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