What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

OS: Linux - 6.12.80 - no agents for now

Reproduction steps

Make a freestyle project trigged by github webhook with github status reporting :

Job Configuration (screenshots) Image Image Image Image

Expected Results

I get a valid status on GitHub on successful builds and repos is not [] in the job logs.

Actual Results

No status on GitHub for commits - the build ran for an empty repos list []. The logs say:

[Set GitHub commit status (universal)] SUCCESS on repos [] (sha:0ac0959) with context:ci/jenkins/build-status
Finished: SUCCESS
Jenkins is triggered and builds the job, but no status is set on GitHub for the commit (note the sha `0ac0959` in the screenshot) Image
The resulting webhook looks normal and is send out and received (note the sha `0ac0959...` again in the webhook delivery) Image

On the same instance, status reporting works just fine in projects under an "Organization Folder".

Possible Cause and Fix

The cause to be (see comment), that despite the repo being successfully checked out with GitHub App credentials, the status reporter cannot use them. Instead it tries and fails to get the repo name via the "GitHub Server" configured (or not) on system-level and fails silently. Even if it does not need to get the repo information, because that was manually specified, it just fails later by not using the working App creds for posting the actual status to GitHub. So I think the solution might be to fix #739 or reuse whatever credentials the SCM Checkout used.
