Merged

Conversation
Implements a GitHub Actions workflow that allows users with write access to override failing checks on pull requests using the /override <checkname> command in a PR comment. The workflow: - Triggers on PR comments starting with /override - Validates the user has write or admin permissions - Creates a success check run for the specified check name - Adds reaction feedback to the comment (thumbs up on success, confused on failure) This helps with flaky tests and other transient failures where maintainers need to manually mark checks as passing. Closes #278 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Since this one is just doing GH interactions it can use ubuntu-slim which is more efficient
