fix: cancel outdated queued pipelines, not only running - #15
Merged
Conversation
Only running pipelines were fetched for cancellation, so during runner congestion outdated pipelines sat in the queue as pending/created and were never cancelled - exactly when cancellation matters most.

Problem
cancel-outdated-pipelinesfetches onlystatus=runningpipelines. Under runner congestion, superseded pipelines sit in the queue aspending/createdand never get cancelled — cancellation is dead exactly when it matters. Each new push then stacks another full pipeline behind the stale ones.Solution
Fetch
created,waiting_for_resource,pendingandrunningpipelines (one request per status — the pipelines API takes a singlestatusvalue) before the same GITHUB_REF filtering and cancellation as today.
