Description
Describe the bug
Required checks do not pass for reusable workflows
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a status check for a job name (ie
pipeline) - Create a reusable workflow with a job similar to the required check (ie.
pipeline) - Create a new workflow using the reusable workflow
Expected behavior
The required status check should acknowledge the workflow run
Runner Version and Platform
Version of your runner? 2.292.0
OS of the machine running the runner? Linux
What's not working?
The workflow runs but the required check is still waiting:

The required check is docker. The job in the reusable workflow is docker. The job that calls the reusable workflow is docker.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported required-check scenario with a reusable workflow and matching job names, using runner version 2.292.0 on Linux. No source file or test is named in the issue, so trace the runner's handling of reusable workflow job status checks. Done means the required check acknowledges the workflow run instead of remaining pending.
