The idea

For a pull request whose newest push pr-build.yml is building, or which passed and waits for the next publish, the picker shows Building now or Ready in a few minutes rather than Not built yet.

Why: a tester who sees Not built yet on a pull request they were asked to test gives up. The run's state is in the actions API, or CI can write it beside the counts in pull-requests.json.

Anything else

A follow-up of #337 (testing pull requests from the launcher): CI in #353, the launcher's picker in LongshotLauncher pull request 59.

Idea: install a pull request's build from the Longshot Launcher, to help test it #337

Opened by mistake: its idea is now a follow-up in the list on #337. Closing; a maintainer may delete it.
