CLAUDE.md: the CI-check recipe was wrong in two ways, both measured today
gates / gates (push) Successful in 24s

1. The response key is `jobs`, not `workflow_runs`. A parser reading the latter gets
   an empty list and prints nothing, which reads exactly like "no CI run for this
   commit". That is R-417's own shape — a field the API never populates — committed
   while following the instructions R-417 wrote.
2. Job ids are not ordered within a page, so page = total/50 + 1 does not hold the
   newest rows. Scan every page and match on head_sha.

Guessing the page produced three consecutive false "no CI job" readings in one
session before the raw response was finally looked at.

**Two things this recipe got wrong until 2026-09-20, both measured the hard way:**
1. **The response key is `jobs`, not `workflow_runs`.** A parser reading `workflow_runs` gets an
empty list and prints nothing — which reads exactly like "no CI run for this commit" and is not.
That is R-417's own shape (a field the API never populates) committed while checking R-417.
2. **Job ids are NOT ordered within a page**, so `page = total/50 + 1` does not hold the newest
rows — a run can sit several pages earlier. **Scan every page** and match on `head_sha`; with a
few hundred jobs that is a handful of requests. Guessing the page produced three consecutive
false "no CI job for this commit" readings in one session.
An unchecked green is an assumption, not an observation — and so is a green read off a field the
API never populates.
