Deploy Button for Commits Dashboard Fix

Bugfixes

• Deploy button is available in the commits dashboard. The commit's state is successful when all check suites are successful or skipped.

This workaround will be replaced by extending the andaction.yml config with excluded-workflows so it can be configured which workflows should be ignored when checking a commit's state.
