Fix race condition causing duplicate "Next Steps to Merge" comments

[Copilot]

Problem

The summarize-checks workflow occasionally created duplicate "Next Steps to Merge" comments when multiple instances ran simultaneously. This happened because:

1. Two workflow instances started at nearly the same time
2. Both checked for existing comments and found none
3. Both created new comments, resulting in confusing duplicates

Solution

Implemented a post-creation cleanup mechanism in the commentOrUpdate function that:

// After creating a new comment, check for race condition
const afterComments = getExistingComments(prNumber);
if (afterComments.containsMultiple(NSTM)) {
  deleteCommentWeAdded(newComment.id);
  updateOldestExistingComment();
}

Key Features

• Deterministic resolution: Always keeps the oldest comment (lowest ID) to ensure both racing instances make identical decisions
• Safe cleanup: Deletes the newly created duplicate and updates the pre-existing comment
• Minimal overhead: Only activates when race condition is actually detected
• Backward compatible: No changes to normal single-instance operation

Changes Made

• Modified .github/workflows/src/comment.js to add race condition detection and cleanup
• Added findAllMatchingComments() helper function to identify and sort duplicate comments
• Fixed parseExistingComments() to return first match instead of last when multiple exist
• Added comprehensive test suite covering all race condition scenarios

Test Coverage

Added 12 test cases including:

• Normal comment creation and update flows
• Race condition with 2 duplicate comments
• Race condition with 3+ duplicate comments
• Edge cases (empty arrays, null values, etc.)

This ensures users will never see duplicate "Next Steps to Merge" comments, even when multiple workflow instances run simultaneously.

Fixes #36683.

Fixed the failing "GitHub Actions - Test" workflow. The issue was TypeScript compilation errors due to missing type annotations in the findAllMatchingComments function. Also applied code formatting fixes. All tests are now passing. See commit 84ad30c.
