I don't know what specifically you need from the logs, I tried to paste what looked relevant. I can provide other bits if needed.

Online logs are here if you have access: https://developer.mend.io/github/LizardByte/actions/-/job/019f21ea-3cfa-7a32-a36a-4f48d393d368

I will need logs from the run, the PR was autoclosed.

It will save time if you share the logs here, there's a mid summer lul at Mend so they can be slow to respond.
