Description
The /commits endpoint we're using right now sometimes doesn't return any entries, causing accidental retirement PRs to be opened (#97, #98, #99).

Research direction
Start with scripts/retire.sh at lines 112-116 and inspect how the /commits response is handled when it contains no entries. Reproduce or trace the empty-response case, then define a check that prevents accidental retirement PRs like #97, #98, and #99 before validating the behavior.
