A “Blocked PR Check” workflow that runs on pull request events (including label changes) and fail whenever a PR has the `status: blocked` label. blocked pull requests can not accidentally pass required checks and get manually merged in anyway.

PR Checklist
status: accepting prsOverview
A small "Blocked PR Check" workflow that just fails when a PR has the
status: blockedlabel. It runs on normal PR events and when labels get added or removed, so it re-checks whenever someone toggles that state. to actually stop the kind of accidental merges that came up in #5409/#5881, it also needs to be set as a required status check in branch protection i think, that part ain’t handled in the repo itself it has to be configured at the admin level
