ci: Make the max number of commits tested explicit
Gives less of a false sense of security.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only renames a GitHub Actions CI job and adds a comment to make clear that the workflow tests a maximum of 6 ancestor commits. There is no code, build, or runtime change, and no security issue is introduced or fixed.
No action required; this is a non-functional CI labeling change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change is purely cosmetic/documentation in .github/workflows/ci.yml. The job name changes from ‘test each commit’ to ‘test max 6 ancestor commits’, and a comment is added next to the existing MAX_COUNT: 6 variable. The behavior, fetch depth calculation, and timeout remain identical.
