When looking at a PR I sometimes wonder which `nightly` release is this
based on, and is used for the mathlib testing.
Right now, the action uses a label (`toolchain-available`) for this, but
a label cannot easily carry more information.
It seems a rather simple way to communicate extra information is by
setting [commit
statuses](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-commit-status);
with this change the following statuses will appear in the PR:
One could also use
[checks](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/checks/runs?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-check-run)
to add more information, even with a nicely formatted markdown
description as in [this
example](https://github.com/nomeata/lean4/pull/1/checks?check_run_id=20165137082),
but it seems there you can’t set a summary that’s visible without an
extra click, and Github seems to associate these checks to “the first
workflow”, which is odd. So using statuses seems fine here.
Often one uses bots writing PR comments for this purpose, but that's a
bit noisy (extra notifications etc.), especially for stuff that happens
on every PR, but isn’t always interesting/actionable
If this works well, we can use this for more pieces of information, and
a link can be added as well.
