  // Build state change notifications (see tenant-services.hxx for
  // background). Mapping our state transitions to GitHub pose multiple
  // problems:
  //
  // 1. In our model we have the building->queued (interrupted) and
  //    built->queued (rebuild) transitions. We are going to ignore both of
  //    them when notifying GitHub. The first is not important (we expect the
  //    state to go back to building shortly). The second should normally not
  //    happen and would mean that a completed check suite may go back on its
  //    conclusion (which would be pretty confusing for the user).
  //
  //    So, for GitHub notifications, we only have the following linear
  //    transition sequence:
  //
  //    -> queued -> building -> built
  //
  //    Note, however, that because we ignore certain transitions, we can now
  //    observe "degenerate" state changes that we need to ignore:
  //
  //    building -> [queued] -> building
  //    built -> [queued] -> ...
  //
  // 2. As mentioned in tenant-services.hxx, we may observe the notifications
  //    as arriving in the wrong order. Unfortunately, GitHub provides no
  //    mechanisms to help with that. In fact, GitHub does not even prevent
  //    the creation of multiple check runs with the same name (it will always
  //    use the last created instance, regardless of the status, timestamps,
  //    etc). As a result, we cannot, for example, rely on the failure to
  //    create a new check run in response to the queued notification as an
  //    indication of a subsequent notification (e.g., building) having
  //    already occurred.
  //
  //    The only aid in this area that GitHub provides is that it prevents
  //    updating a check run in the built state to a former state (queued or
  //    building). But one can still create a new check run with the same name
  //    and a former state.
  //
  //    (Note that we should also be careful if trying to take advantage of
  //    this "check run override" semantics: each created check run gets a new
  //    URL and while the GitHub UI will always point to the last created when
  //    showing the list of check runs, if the user is already on the previous
  //    check run's URL, nothing will automatically cause them to be
  //    redirected to the new URL. And so the user may sit on the abandoned
  //    check run waiting forever for it to be completed.)
  //
  //    As a result, we will deal with the out of order problem differently
  //    depending on the notification:
  //
  //    queued    Skip if there is already a check run in service data,
  //              otherwise create new.
  //
  //    building  Skip if there is no check run in service data or it's
  //              not in the queued state, otherwise update.
  //
  //    built     Update if there is check run in service data and its
  //              state is not built, otherwise create new.
  //
  //    The rationale for this semantics is as follows: the building
  //    notification is a "nice to have" and can be skipped if things are not
  //    going normally. In contrast, the built notification cannot be skipped
  //    and we must either update the existing check run or create a new one
  //    (hopefully overriding the one created previously, if any). Note that
  //    the likelihood of the built notification being performed at the same
  //    time as queued/building is quite low (unlike queued and building).
  //
  //    Note also that with this semantics it's unlikely but possible that we
  //    attempt to update the service data in the wrong order. Specifically, it
  //    feels like this should not be possible in the ->building transition
  //    since we skip the building notification unless the check run in the
  //    service data is already in the queued state. But it is theoretically
  //    possible in the ->built transition. For example, we may be updating
  //    the service data for the queued notification after it has already been
  //    updated by the built notification. In such cases we should not be
  //    overriding the latter state (built) with the former (queued).
  //
  // 3. We may not be able to "conclusively" notify GitHub, for example, due
  //    to a transient network error. The "conclusively" part means that the
  //    notification may or may not have gone through (though it feels the
  //    common case will be the inability to send the request rather than
  //    receive the reply).
  //
  //    In such cases, we record in the service data that the notification was
  //    not synchronized and in subsequent notifications we do the best we can:
  //    if we have node_id, then we update, otherwise, we create (potentially
  //    overriding the check run created previously).
