Research direction
Review the build-system behavior controlled by GITHUB_ACTION and the downstream breakage reported in openwrt/packages#26623. The issue names no files or tests, so first locate where GITHUB_ACTION is read and identify the existing behavior that should be replaced. Done means the build no longer changes unexpectedly based on GITHUB_ACTION and the downstream breakage is addressed.
