### Brief description of your issue
When a PR has merge conflicts, wingetbot will repeatedly trigger `@wingetbot run` - however, the pipeline never runs.
See https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/373628
### Steps to reproduce
Create a PR with merge conflicts
### Actual behavior
Validation never runs and the PR repeatedly gets commented on by Wingetbot
### Expected behavior
1. Wingetbot to not comment repeatedly
2. The pipelines to be run and apply https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/labels/Validation-Merge-Conflict -OR- the label to be applied by wingetbot
### Environment
```raw
winget-pkgs repo
```
### Screenshots and Logs
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with pull request 373628 and reproduce the merge-conflict state, then trace how `@wingetbot run` interacts with validation pipelines and the `Validation-Merge-Conflict` label. Done means validation runs or the label is applied, and Wingetbot no longer posts repeated comments.
