Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have repositories with complex CI pipelines that run many many jobs.
Gitactionboard will show 1 tile for each of these jobs. So e.g. to monitor 10 repos, I have 100 tiles displayed.That's a bit too much.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be really useful to collapse all the jobs related to the same repository in a single tile on the web UI, in the event that the jobs are all green/successful. Getting to the individual job detail-level is useful only when there is a failure.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
Cannot provide screenshot because repos are private

Research direction

Start by tracing how the web UI renders job tiles and how each job is associated with a repository. Define the grouping behavior for repositories whose jobs are all successful, while preserving individual job detail when a job fails. Done means the dashboard reduces successful jobs to one repository tile and still exposes failure details.
