Description

Describe the bug
I'm not clear what is happening after enabling manual notifications, the notifications seem to either arrive before the workflow triggers that should send the notification, or it appears significantly after.

To Reproduce
This PR for example: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/12240
The workflow succeeded 13 hours ago: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/actions/runs/23098834822/job/67096304511
But the notification has only appeared a few seconds after clicking merge (which is a bit late to be useful): https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/12240#issuecomment-4062951205

Expected behavior
Notification should appear when the workflow runs, not before and not hours after.

Research direction

Start by comparing the manual notification behavior with the linked aiohttp pull request and its GitHub Actions run. Trace when the workflow succeeds and when the notification comment appears, including the case where it appears before the workflow or after merging. Done means notifications consistently appear when the relevant workflow runs.
