Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses an issue where CLA status updates fail for pull requests originating from forked repositories. The fix adds a fallback mechanism to post commit statuses using the PR's commit list when the direct commit object method fails, which commonly occurs with forked repos due to permission differences.

Key Changes:

• Updated create_commit_status() to accept additional PR and commit SHA parameters for fallback handling
• Added new create_commit_status_pr_hash() helper function to post statuses via PR commit enumeration
• Implemented automatic fallback to the new helper when the primary status posting fails
