Start by reviewing PR #7872 and the linked CircleCI and GitHub Actions runs to determine why unsuccessful optional checks did not block the merge. Compare the repository's current behavior with the linked engineering best-practice guidelines; done means the required status-check policy is adjusted and a merged PR cannot bypass unsuccessful checks.
