This basically does what https://github.com/marketplace/actions/verify-pull-request-labels already does. WDYT about using that -or another existing popular one- instead? I would prefer to reuse that if possible.
This job as-is is pretty clean, but there often end up being odd edge cases & UX niceties that known actions tend to have solved.

I will try to check compatibility of the one you suggested and also try to find, possibly, a more better and "popular" but what you suggested is also good but never hurts to have more choices!
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
