            * It would be nice if GitHub Actions offered a convenient way to avoid running
            * successful workflow runs _again_ for the respective commit (or for a tree-same one):
            * We would expect the same outcome in those cases, right?
            *
            * Let's check for such a scenario: Look for previous runs that have been successful
            * and that correspond to the same commit, or at least a tree-same one. If there is
            * one, skip running the build and tests _again_.
            *
            * There are challenges, though: We need to require those _jobs_ to succeed before PRs
            * can be merged. You can mark workflow _jobs_ as required on GitHub, but not
            * _workflows_. So if those jobs are now simply skipped, the requirement isn't met and
            * the PR cannot be merged. We can't just skip the job. Instead, we need to run the job
            * _but skip every single step_ so that the job can "succeed".
