Big misunderstanding on my part. I made wrong assumptions due in part to poor UI design. :( It appears to be a combination of Github's UI failure interacting with the added Checkers. There was no longer a green merge button and the list displayed by github hides the runs i care about below a completely arbitrary invisible "fold" which led me to believe they were no longer being run. I'm happy to see that the known-good CI is still being run! But Github is no longer showing it without additional secret effort to find as it is hidden at the bottom of an invisible scrolling region. I could also blame the last decades dumb insistence on removing scrollbars from UIs for this, but it is up to github to work around the current decade bad ui paradigms. The Github UI says "show all" but does not in fact "show all". It "shows five" and doesn't tell you that it can scroll. -gps
