GitHub Actions can produce duplicate check runs for the same job name when workflows are re-triggered or race. The older run stays in_progress forever while the newer one completes. Fila's poll_checks waits for all check runs to complete, so a single orphaned run blocks the entire batch until timeout.
This deduplicates check runs by name, keeping only the latest (highest ID) per name before evaluating completion status. Also adds the id field to GhCheckRun.
Found this in production on the Table-Connect monorepo where path-filtered workflows combined with discord-notify re-triggers consistently produced duplicate runs.
