Hello,

GitHub Actions has never created a workflow run in my public repository https://github.com/NicolaGarciaE/threat-intel-pipeline, and I would like to know whether Actions is disabled, restricted or stuck for this repository or for my account (NicolaGarciaE).

Pull request NicolaGarciaE/threat-intel-pipeline#5 (branch session-4-ci, head commit b47c3bc5bd751ae6a1830fb9fbfd79afd48fcb37, base main) adds .github/workflows/ci.yml, which runs on pull_request with branches: [main]. None of these pull_request events created a workflow run, a check suite or a check from GitHub Actions (all times UTC, 2026-11-04):

• 10:24:43: iOS bug report: strange backstack behavior when navigating to a file #4 opened, during the incident "Incident with Pull Requests, Git Operations and Issues" (09:49 to 11:50);
• 12:02:51: iOS bug report: strange backstack behavior when navigating to a file #4 reopened, after the incident was resolved;
• 12:31:16: Feature request: support jumping to lines in files #5 opened from the same branch, after closing iOS bug report: strange backstack behavior when navigating to a file #4;
• 12:58:32: Feature request: support jumping to lines in files #5 reopened.

What I checked:

• GET /repos/NicolaGarciaE/threat-intel-pipeline/actions/runs and GET /repos/NicolaGarciaE/threat-intel-pipeline/actions/workflows both return total_count 0.
• The only check suite on the head commit belongs to another GitHub App ("claude"); there is none from GitHub Actions on the head commit or on the test merge commits.
• In the head commit and in the latest test merge commit, the git tree contains exactly .github/workflows/ci.yml and .github/workflows/daily.yml; ci.yml has no BOM and LF line endings.
• The pull request has no merge conflicts, and no commit contains [skip ci]-type strings or a skip-checks trailer.
• ci.yml passes actionlint 1.7.12 with no findings.
• Actions permissions: enabled true, allowed_actions all. The fork pull request approval policy is all_external_contributors; I am the owner of the repository and the author of the pull request. "Require actions to be pinned to a full-length commit SHA" was disabled for the last reopen (12:58) and enabled before and after it: no run either way.
• The Actions tab shows "Get started with GitHub Actions" and no message saying that Actions is disabled.
• githubstatus.com shows every component as operational and no open incident.
• No other repository of my account has workflows, so Actions has never run on this account before.

Could you check whether GitHub Actions is blocked for this repository or for my account, and tell me what I need to do?

Thank you,
Nicola García
