[PATCH 0/2] ci: make the new GitHub workflow logic more defensive

Phil just reported that the check I added failed miserably [https://github.com/phil-blain/git/runs/1238660958] in their fork, and the entire run would be abandoned. That's totally unintended, and was caused by a different metadata format for older recorded runs.

Let's work around this particular issue, and then make the entire check a lot more robust.

This patch series is based on js/ci-ghwf-dedup-tests.
