Body

Changing the following test matrix config (python version from >3.10 to 3.12 for Ubuntu):

matrix:
  config:
    - os: windows-latest
      python: "3.10"
      resolution: highest
      extras: ci,optional
    - os: windows-latest
      python: "3.10"
      resolution: highest
      extras: ci,optional,numpy-v1 
    - os: ubuntu-latest
-     python: ">3.10"
+     python: "3.12"
      resolution: lowest-direct
      extras: ci,optional
    - os: macos-latest
      python: "3.11"
      resolution: lowest-direct
      extras: ci 
  split: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Leaves "ghost" request at and thus blocking auto-merge (42 is the correct number of tests required):

The "checks" panel however, does reflect the correct number of tests requested.

From @ab5424 materialsproject/pymatgen#4102 (comment):

I think that the branch protection rules require a check under the name test (ubuntu-latest, >3.10, lowest-direct, ci,optional) to pass (hence the "Required" tag at the end of the line) but since that doesn't exist anymore so it can't report its status.
