Discussion Details

I raised refined-github/refined-github#9011 as an external solution to this; copying here because it really applies to the experience on github as a whole.

Description

I recently adopted https://github.com/dorny/test-reporter to see test reports in github actions (with use-actions-summary: 'true' in particular). The problem is, you only see job summaries from the Summary page (e.g. https://github.com/dorny/test-reporter/actions/runs/21307105130) and not from the job detail page (e.g. https://github.com/dorny/test-reporter/actions/runs/21307105130/job/61336980961).

When you have a setup with a lot of jobs, the Summary page becomes a real pain to navigate, and you need to click "Load summary" for most of the summaries:

From the PR main page, it's easy to navigate directly to a job detail page from the checks summary at the bottom of the PR. But then to see the summary for that job, you have to then go to the overall Summary page, scroll to the job, and click Load. It's very inconvenient, and github should definitely improve it! (I didn't find any https://github.com/Mottie/GitHub-userscripts that attempt to improve this.)

I propose adding the same UI that's in the Summary page to the top of the job detail page. Something like this (ignore the bad placement, it would go below the ... menu and not in the header):

If desired, seems fine to me to require clicking "Load summary" to prevent unnecessary http requests (and keep the size small in relation to the logs UI). But my preference would be to always load the summary.
